My great-grandfather used to say to his wife, my great-grandmother, who in turn told her daughter, my grandmother, who repeated it to her daughter, my mother, who used to remind her daughter, my own sister, that to talk well and eloquently was a very grea - Mozart

When he sits at the piano and having repeatedly pushed his hair back over his brow, begins to improvise, then he often rages all too madly upon the ivory keys and lets loose a deluge of heaven-storming ideas, with here and there a few sweet flowers to she - Heinrich Heine, quoted in Walter Beckett, Liszt （1963）
當他坐在鋼琴前，重複地將頭髮往後撥，開始即興演奏，之後通常瘋狂地在琴鍵上敲，然後狂風暴雨般的構思出現，偶爾夾雜著散發香味，甜蜜的小花。旁聽者會覺得幸福，焦慮，但更多是帶著渴望⋯ ~ 海涅在貝克特書中對李斯特的評論
