“I make music for the ears not the eyes.”
“I don't make music for the eyes, I make music for the ears.”
“I make music for ears, not eyes”
“There is joy in self-forgetfulness. So I try to make the light in others' eyes my sun, the music in others' ears my symphony, the smile on others' lips my happiness.”
“I am no more annoyed when I think of the expression, than I should be annoyed by a man's opinion of a picture of mine, who had no eye for pictures; or of a piece of music of mine, who had no ear for music.”
“I have Van Gogh's ear for music”
