Tones sound, and roar and storm about me until I have set them down in notes.

Don't only practise your art, but force your way into its secrets.

Ludwig van Beethoven 166 quotes

In praise of Thy goodness I mu...

In praise of Thy goodness I must confess that Thou didst try with all Thy means to draw me to Thee. Sometimes it pleased Thee to let me feel the heavy hand of Thy displeasure and to humiliate my proud heart by manifold castigations. Sickness and misfortune didst Thou send upon me to turn my thoughts to my errantries.-One thing, only, O Father, do I ask: cease not to labor for my betterment. In whatsoever manner it be, let me turn to Thee and become fruitful in good works.

Ludwig van Beethoven 166 quotes

The world is a king, and like a king, desires flattery in return for favor; but true art is selfish and perverse Ђ' it will not submit to the mold of flattery.

I have never thought of writing for reputation and honor. What I have in my heart must come out; that is the reason why I compose.

Ludwig van Beethoven 166 quotes

I alter some things, eliminate and try again until I am satisfied. Then begins the mental working out of this material in its breadth, its narrowness, its height and depth.

Strange, I feel as if up to now I had written no more than a few notes.

Of all my children, this is the one that cost me the worst birth-pangs and brought me the most sorrow; and for that reason it is the one most dear to me.

Ludwig van Beethoven 166 quotes

I carry my thoughts about with...

I carry my thoughts about with me for a long time... before writing them down... once I have grasped a theme. I shall not forget it even years later. I change many things, discard others, and try again and again until I am satisfied; then, in my head... [the work] rises, it grows, I hear and see the image n front of me from every angle... and only the labor of writing it down remains... I turn my ideas into tones that resound, roar, and rage until at last they stand before me in the form of notes.

The guitar is an orchestra in itself.

Artists are fiery, they do not weep!

Ludwig van Beethoven 166 quotes

You ask me where I get my idea...

You ask me where I get my ideas. That I cannot tell you with certainty. They come unsummoned, directly, indirectly - I could seize them with my hands - out in the open air, in the woods, while walking, in the silence of the nights, at dawn, excited by moods which are translated by the poet into words, by me into tones that sound and roar and storm about me till I have set them down in notes.

Ludwig van Beethoven 166 quotes

I shall hear in heaven....

I shall hear in heaven.

Ludwig van Beethoven 166 quotes

How glad I am to be able to roam in the wood and thicket, among trees and flowers and rocks ... in the country, every tree seems to speak to me, saying, 'Holy! Holy', in the woods, there is enchantment which expresses all things.
