“There is no music in hell, for all good music belongs to heaven.”
“Music, the greatest good that mortals know, and all of heaven we have below”
“I like listening to music, but only the kind you play, absolute music, the kind that makes you feel that someone is rattling at the doors if heaven and hell. I like music very much, I think, because it's so unconcerned with morality.”
“Of all the music that reached farthest into heaven, it is the beating of a loving heart”
“All good music resembles something. Good music stirs by its mysterious resemblance to the objects and feelings which motivated it.”
“Good music is good no matter what kind of music it is.”
