音樂教育——不是培養音樂家，首先是培養人。

靈感全然不是漂亮地揮著手，而是如健牛般竭盡全力工作的心理狀態。

音樂是比一切智慧、一切哲學更高的啟示，誰能滲透我音樂的意義，便能超脫尋常人無以自拔的苦難。

生活的苦難壓不垮我。我心中的歡樂不是我自己的，我把歡樂注進音樂，為的是讓全世界感到歡樂。

最好的音樂是這種音樂，它能夠使最優秀、最有教養的人快樂，特別是使那個在品德和修養上最為卓越的一個人快樂。

音樂是心靈的迸發。它不象化學那樣能進行實驗分析。對偉大的音樂來說只有一種真正的特性，那就是感情。

人們時常埋怨音樂是這樣的模糊，聽音樂時，簡直不知如何去想才好。但每個人對文學總是能夠理解的。不過，對我來說……一首我喜愛的樂曲所傳達給我的思想和意義是不能用語言表達的。這不是因為音樂不夠具體，而是因為它太具體了。因此，我發現：每當我試圖用文字或語言來說明一段音樂時，好象是說過了，但又好象說的都不令人滿意。

音樂是一種語言，它能確切地反映個人和人民的精神品質。

音樂表達的是無法用語言描述，卻又不可能對其保持沉默的東西。

音樂不只是表達的藝術，它還是能引起激動的藝術。

音樂歌頌人們的生活，引導人們走向光明的未來。

音樂家必須不斷地反身自省，培養自己最內在的東西，以便使它轉向外界。

音樂家的藝術不在於直接描繪形象，而在於把心靈置於這些物件能夠在心靈裡創造的情緒中去。

音樂教育並不是音樂家的教育，而首先是人的教育。

音樂教育除了非常注重道德和社會目的外，必須把美的東西作為自己的目的來探求，把人教育成美和善的。

音樂是不假任何外力，直接沁人心脾的最純的感情的火焰；它是從口吸入的空氣，它是生命的血管中流通著的血液。

Because when everyone dreams, but only a few realize their dreams, that makes cowards of us all.
