Beethoven Quotes

Buddy Holly was twenty-two. Think of what he might have gone on to achieve. I mean, if Beethoven had been killed in a plane crash at twenty-two, the history of music would have been very different. As would the history of aviation, of course Picture Quote #1

Da Vinci painted one Mona Lisa. Beethoven composed one Fifth Symphony. And God made one version of you Picture Quote #1

It's not easy to talk about transcendence, just as it's not easy to play or listen to a late Beethoven quartet … You have to practice quite hard, like you do with any art form. Religion is hard work Picture Quote #1

Composers in the old days used to keep strictly to the base of the theme, as their real subject. Beethoven varies the melody, harmony and rhythms so beautifully Picture Quote #1

... the reader who plucks a book from her shelf only once is as deprived as the listener who, after attending a single performance of a Beethoven symphony, never hears it again Picture Quote #1

Bach is an astronomer, discovering the most marvellous stars. Beethoven challenges the universe. I only try to express the soul and the heart of man Picture Quote #1

... Beethoven concertos... Tchaicovsky concertos... with a lot of these wonderful masterpieces there’s always something wonderful to find... there’s always something new to find Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I haven’t heard anything so great for a long time; Beethoven snaps his fingers at the whole world Picture Quote #1

Beethoven always sounds to me like the upsetting of a bag of nails, with here and there an also dropped hammer Picture Quote #1

Beethoven suppressed everything, his personal life disappeared until he was locked inside. That is a figure quite extreme Picture Quote #1

[Art] would have helped us survive in the Pleistocene - in the period, say, 1.6 million years ago until fairly recently. The kind of imaginative abilities that artists have and that we all have in the appreciation of art - to appreciate Jane Austen, the late quartets of Beethoven Picture Quote #1

It is impossible to imagine Goethe or Beethoven being good at billiards or golf Picture Quote #1

Beethoven, Wagner, Bach, and Mozart settled down day after day to the job in hand. They didn’t waste time waiting for inspiration Picture Quote #1

Beethoven can write music, thank God, but he can do nothing else on earth Picture Quote #1

What you are, you are by accident of birth; what I am, I am by myself. There are and will be a thousand princes; there is only one Beethoven Picture Quote #1

Bach, Mozart, Beethoven and Tchaikovsky were not classical musicians while they were alive and active, they were the rock stars of their day Picture Quote #1

I like these calm little moments before the storm, it reminds me of Beethoven Picture Quote #1

Writing fiction is like music. You have to keep it moving. You can have slow movements but there has to be a sense of momentum, of going someplace. You hear a snatch of Beethoven and it has a sense of momentum that is unmistakably his. That’s a nice quality if you can do it in fiction Picture Quote #1
