Ignacy Jan Paderewski Quotes

Fatherland before everything, art afterward Picture Quote #1

Intellectual isolation always follows commercial isolation Picture Quote #1

Music expresses first of all sadness rather than joy Picture Quote #1

If I don’t practise for one day, I know it; if I don’t practise for two days, the critics knows it; if I don’t practise for three days, the audience knows it Picture Quote #1

Musical expression is never primarily national, but is personal and individual rather. It is so deep, so profound, that it goes beyond and below nationality and gives voice to the most private feeling. In music there is never exact heredity. Each man is an individual Picture Quote #1

I do not believe, as do so many musicians, that genius should be left to fight its way to the light. Genius is too rare, too precious, to be permitted to waste the best years of life--the years of youth and lofty dreams--in a heart-breaking struggle for bread. To starve the soul with the body is to do worse than murder. Think, too, of what the public loses! Picture Quote #1

I established a certain standard of behavior, that, during my playing, there must be no talking Picture Quote #1

Is there anything more true than human pain? Is there anything more sincere than the cry for help from those who suffer? Only a great wave of mankind’s pity can surmount an immense wave of human misery? Picture Quote #1

The genius is the man who has genuine and deep human relations with others, who does not cut himself off in the search for originality, but who realizes the value of artistic tradition Picture Quote #1

The mere fact of knowing that a great audience waits on your labor is enough to shake all your nerves to pieces Picture Quote #1

I am inclined to believe that some music, like certain poetry, finds its appeal and way to all Picture Quote #1

A man is not necessarily a master because he happened to compose two or three centuries ago. Let us beware of the worship of mere antiquity Picture Quote #1

There have been a few moments when I have known complete satisfaction, but only a few. I have rarely been free from the disturbing realization that my playing might have been better Picture Quote #1

If I don’t practise for one day, I know it; if I don’t practise for two days, the critics knows it; if I don’t practise for three days, the audience knows it Picture Quote #1

If I do not practice one day; I know it. If I do not practice the next, the orchestra knows it; if I do not practice the third day, the whole world knows it Picture Quote #1

Piano playing is more difficult than statesmanship. It is harder to awake emotions in ivory keys than it is in human beings Picture Quote #1

When I miss a week in practice, my audience knows it. When I miss a day, I know it Picture Quote #1
