Felix Mendelssohn quotes about
thinking opposites people
People usually complain that music is so ambiguous, and what they are supposed to think when they hear it is so unclear, while words are understood by everyone. But for me it is exactly the opposite...what the music I love expresses to me are thoughts not to indefinite for words, but rather too definite.
art two different
Life and art are not two different things....
music-is precise
It's not that music is too imprecise for words, but too precise....
sacred use trombone
The trombone is too sacred for frequent use.
country blessed earth
Though everything else may appear shallow and repulsive, even the smallest task in music is so absorbing, and carries us so far away from town, country, earth, and all worldly things, that it is truly a blessed gift of God.
