Franz Liszt

"Mournful and yet grand is the destiny of the artist."

- Franz Liszt

"Music embodies feeling without forcing it to contend and combine with thought, as it is forced in most arts and especially in the art of words."

- Franz Liszt

"The character of instrumental music... lets the emotions radiate and shine in their own character without presuming to display them as real or imaginary representations."

- Franz Liszt
