"A musician cannot move others unless he too is moved. He must of necessity feel all of the
affects that he hopes to arouse in his audience, for the revealing of his own humor will stimulate
a like humor in the listener."
AUTHOR: Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach
“If the composer does not feel the music inside himself first
he can not convey those feelings to the audience through
his music.”
