“Music is the heart of life." She speaks love; "without it, there is no possible good and with it everything is beautiful.”

“For the virtuoso, musical works are in fact nothing but tragic and moving materializations of his emotions; he is called upon to make them speak, weep, sing and sigh, to recreate them in accordance with his own consciousness.
