I feel like a novice, just as...

I feel like a novice, just as I felt before I knew anything of the keyboard. It is far too original, and I shall end up not being able to learn it myself.

Frederic Chopin 63 quotes

It is dreadful when something...

It is dreadful when something weighs on your mind, not to have a soul to unburden yourself to. You know what I mean. I tell my piano the things I used to tell you.

Frederic Chopin 63 quotes

We fell silent and all joking...

We fell silent and all joking ceased. We gazed mutely into each other's eyes and an intense longing for the fullest avowal of the truth forced us to a confession, requiring no words whatever, or the incommensurable misfortune that weighed upon us. With tears and sobs we sealed a vow to belong to each other alone.

Frederic Chopin 63 quotes

I am gay on the outside, espe...

I am gay on the outside, especially among my own folk (I count Poles my own); but inside something gnaws at me; some presentiment, anxiety, dreams - or sleeplessness - melancholy, indifference - desire for life, and the next instant, desire for death; some kind of sweet peace, some kind of numbness, absent-mindedness.

Frederic Chopin 63 quotes

Simplicity is the final achiev...

Simplicity is the final achievement. After one has played a vast quantity of notes and more notes, it is simplicity that emerges as the crowning reward of art.

Frederic Chopin 63 quotes

Every difficulty slurred over ...

Every difficulty slurred over will be a ghost to disturb your repose later on.

I am gay on the outside, especially among my own folk (I count Poles my own); but inside something gnaws at me; some presentiment, anxiety, dreams - or sleeplessness - melancholy, indifference - desire for life, and the next instant, desire for death; some kind of sweet peace, some kind of numbness, absent-mindedness...

I'm a revolutionary, money means nothing to me.

Frederic Chopin 63 quotes

All the same it is being said ...

All the same it is being said everywhere that I played too softly, or rather, too delicately for people used to the piano-pounding of the artists here.

Frederic Chopin 63 quotes

The Official Bulletin declared...

The Official Bulletin declared that the Poles should be as proud of me as the Germans are of Mozart; obvious nonsense.

Bach is like an astronomer who, with the help of ciphers, finds the most wonderful stars . . . Beethoven embraced the universe with the power of his spirit . . . I do not climb so high. A long time ago I decided that my universe will be the soul and heart of man.

Nothing is more odious than music without hidden meaning.

As something has involuntarily crept into my head through my eyes,I love to indulge it, even though it may be all wrong.

I am not fitted to give concerts. The audience intimidates me, I feel choked by its breath, paralyzed by its curious glances, struck dumb by all those strange faces.

Frederic Chopin 63 quotes

My manuscripts sleep, while I cannot, for I am covered with poultices.

Frederic Chopin 63 quotes

The three most celebrated doctors on the island have been to see me. One sniffed at what I spat, the second tapped where I spat from, and the third sounded me and listened as I spat. The first said I was dead, the second that I was dying and the third that I'm going to die.

Play Mozart in memory of me....

Play Mozart in memory of me.
