Zitate Frédéric Chopin

„Sie wissen, wie leicht Dinge aus dem Nichts kommen, wenn sie durch den Mund gelangen, der sie zerstreut und sie anders macht“

— Frédéric Chopin

Original: You know how easily things grow out of nothing, when they pass through a mouth that smears them all over and makes something else out of them

„Bach ist Astronom und entdeckt die schönsten Sterne. Beethoven hinterfragt das Universum. Ich versuche nur, die Seele und das Herz des Menschen auszudrücken.“

— Frédéric Chopin

Original: Bach is an astronomer, discovering the most marvellous stars. Beethoven challenges the universe. I only try to express the soul and the heart of man.

„Ich wünschte, ich könnte die Gedanken loswerden, die mein Glück verderben.“

— Frédéric Chopin

Original: I wish I could throw off the thoughts which poison my happiness.

„Ich vertraue meinem Klavier, was ich dir erzählt habe.“

— Frédéric Chopin

„Mutter, meine arme Mutter.“

— Frédéric Chopin
Letzte Worte, 17. Oktober 1849

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

— Frédéric Chopin
As quoted in Chopin : Pianist and Teacher as Seen by His Pupils.

„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.“

— Frédéric Chopin
As quoted in If Not God, Then What?

„But why should one be ashamed of writing badly in spite of knowing better – it’s results that shows errors“

— Frédéric Chopin

„I have met Rossini, Cherubini, Baillot, etc.—also Kalkbrenner. You would not believe how curious I was about Herz, Liszt, Hiller, etc. — They are all zero beside Kalkbrenner. I confess that I have played like Herz, but would wish to play like Kalkbrenner. If Paganini is perfection, Kalkbrenner is his equal, but in quite another style.“

— Frédéric Chopin
His letter to Tytus Woyciechowski in Poturzyn. Paris, 12 December 1831.

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

— Frédéric Chopin
Said to one of his students, according to "Chopin: Pianist and Teacher: As Seen by His Pupils" by Jean-Jacques Eigeldinger

„You already know when I'm writing, so don't be surprised if it's short and dry, because I'm too hungry to write anything fat“

— Frédéric Chopin
As quoted in his letter to Jan Bialoblocki, written in Zelazowa Wola and dated back to December 24th 1826

„How great a joy I feel in my heart. That a day so pleasant, so dear and glorious begins, a day that I greet with the wish. That long years may pass in happiness. In health and vigour, peacefully, successfully. May the gift of heaven fall richly upon you“

— Frédéric Chopin
As quoted in his letter to his father, dated December 6th 1817

„I am cross and depressed, and people bore me with their excessive attentions. I can't breathe, I can't work; I feel alone, alone, alone, although I am surrounded. There are a whole lot of ladies, 70 to 80 year-old lords, but no young folk: they are all out shooting. One can't get out of doors because it has been raining and blowing for several days.“

— Frédéric Chopin

„I could express my feelings more easily if they could be put into the notes of music, but as the very best concert would not cover my affection for you, dear daddy, I must use the simple words of my heart, to lay before you my utmost gratitude and filial affection“

— Frédéric Chopin
As quoted in Chopin's Letter.

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

— Frédéric Chopin
Murmured by Chopin on his death-bed.

„One needs only to study a certain positioning of the hand in relation to the keys to obtain with ease the most beautiful sounds, to know how to play long notes and short notes and to [attain] certain unlimited dexterity... A well formed technique, it seems to me, [is one] that can control and vary a beautiful sound quality.“

— Frédéric Chopin
As quoted in Chopin : Pianist and Teacher as Seen by His Pupils.
