TCHAIKOVSKY QUOTES and LINKS

"There is no doubt that even the greatest musical geniuses

have sometimes worked without inspiration.

This guest (inspiration) does not always respond to the first invitation.

We must always work,

and a self-respecting artist must not fold his hands

on the pretext that he is not in the mood.

If we wait for the mood, without endeavoring to meet it half-way,

we easily become indolent and apathetic.

We must be patient,

and believe that inspiration will come

to those who can master their disinclination."

To his nephew (9 February 1893)

Just prior to composing the Pathetique Symphony:

"What I need is to believe in myself again;

for my faith has been greatly undermined;

it seems to me my role is over."

"You see, my dear friend,

I am made up of contradictions,

and I have reached a very mature age

without resting upon anything positive,

without having calmed my restless spirit

either by religion or philosophy.

Undoubtedly I should have gone mad but for music.

Music is indeed the most beautiful of all Heaven's gifts

to humanity wandering in the darkness.

Alone it calms, enlightens, and stills our souls.

It is not the straw to which the drowning man clings;

but a true friend, refuge, and comforter,

for whose sake life is worth living."
