More quotes by Frédéric Chopin

Simplicity is the final achievement. After one has played a vast quantity of notes and more notes, it is simplicity that emerges as the crowning reward of art.

Concerts are never real music, you have to give up the idea of hearing in them all the most beautiful things of art.

Sometimes I can only groan, and suffer, and pour out my despair at the piano!

Time is still the best critic, and patience the best teacher.

Play Mozart in memory of me— and I will hear you.
