[on his prolific compositions] I write as a sow piddles.

As death, when we come to consider it closely, is the true goal of our existence, I have formed during the last few years such close relations with this best and truest friend of mankind, that his image is not only no longer terrifying to me, but is indeed very soothing and consoling! And I thank my God for graciously granting me the opportunity of learning that death is the key which unlocks the door to our true happiness.

People are wrong who think my art comes easily to me. I assure you, nobody has devoted so much time and thought to composition as I.
