Music is the heart of life." She speaks love; "without it, there is no possible good and with it everything is beautiful. Franz Liszt
For the virtuoso, musical works are in fact nothing but tragic and moving materializations of his emotions; he is called upon to make them speak, weep, sing and sigh, to recreate them in accordance with his own consciousness. In this way he, like the composer, is a creator, for he must have within himself those passions that he wishes to bring so intensely to life. Franz Liszt
Franz Liszt quote: "In Hungary all native music, in its origin, is divided..."
In Hungary all native music, in its origin, is divided naturally into melody destined for song or melody for the dance. 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
The music of the Gypsies belongs in the sphere of improvisation rather than in any other, without which it would have no power to exist. Franz Liszt
