“Good music facilitates evolution of the soul.” – Plato

“The object of education is to teach us to love what is beautiful.” – Plato

“Before beginning to learn an instrument, the learner, whether a child, adolescent or adult, should already be spiritually in possession of some music; he should, so to speak, carry it in his mind, keep it in his heart and hear it with his mind’s ear. The whole secret of talent and of genius is that in the case of a person so gifted, music lives a full life in his brain before he even touches a keyboard or draws a bow across the strings. That is why Mozart as a small child could “at once” play the piano and the violin.” – Heinrich Neuhaus

“You think this is one instrument? There are one hundred instruments!” – Anton Rubinstein

“The pedal is the soul of the piano.” – Anton Rubinstein

“To play the piano is easy. I mean the physical process, and not the summit of the pianistic art.” –
Heinrich Neuhaus

“Playing the piano is comparable to the movement of fingers; while performing the piano – moving the spirit.” – Anton Rubinstein
