All the conductor has to do is stand back and try not to get in the way. Mozart is doing all the work.
Colin R. Davis
And it's a crime because the great plays of history, going all the way back to the Greeks, are part of everybody's heritage. It's just like in music, Beethoven or Mozart, that's everybody's heritage.
Tony Randall
Anybody can put things together that belong together. to put things together that don't go together, and make it work, that takes genius like Mozart's. Yet he is presented in the play Amadeus as a kind of silly boy whom the gods loved.
Lukas Foss
Because of Mozart, it's all over after the age of seven.
Wendy Wasserstein
Beethoven and Beatles, Mozart and Michael Jackson, Paganini and Prince - I like them all.
Vanessa Mae
Beethoven, Wagner, Bach, and Mozart settled down day after day to the job in hand. They didn't waste time waiting for inspiration.
Ernest Newman
I can't cut off an ear everyday. Do the Van Gogh here and the Mozart there. Anyway it's exhausting enough always having to check up on what one is really doing!.
Martin Kippenberger
I owe very, very much to Mozart; and if one studies, for instance, the way in which I write for string quartet, then one cannot deny that I have learned this directly from Mozart. And I am proud of it!
Arnold Schoenberg
I play the piano and have been playing since I was 7, mainly classical Chopin, Beethoven, Mozart.
Kiana Tom
I remain loyal to Bach, Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert in music and to Shakespeare and Jane Austen in literature.
Anne Stevenson
I'm not trying to overcome my father or fill his shoes or reach any kind of level that he did. We're talking about a Mozart of rock music.
Sean Lennon
I'm writing a movie about Mozart going to New York in the '60s. I've been reading so many novels.
John Cale
If Antarctica were music it would be Mozart. Art, and it would be Michelangelo. Literature, and it would be Shakespeare. And yet it is something even greater; the only place on earth that is still as it should be. May we never tame it.
Andrew Denton
If Beethoven and Bach hooked up with Mozart and made a band, they could be a distant runner up to The D.
Jack Black
If Mozart were around now he would write a killer rock song.
Vanessa Carlton
If they had Mozart today, they couldn't work with him, although he was a very adaptable man.
Alexander Kluge
If you go to Japan for instance, you should know that they have a different way of playing Beethoven or Brahms. But if you play with them Mozart, Debussy, Mendelssohn, they have a wonderful light feeling for that.
Kurt Masur
In Mozart and Salieri we see the contrast between the genius which does what it must and the talent which does what it can.
Maurice Baring
It is a sobering thought that when Mozart was my age, he had been dead for two years.
Tom Lehrer
It is sobering to consider that when Mozart was my age he had already been dead for a year.
Tom Lehrer
