Johannes Brahms

I am not a religious man, but I do believe in the power of music to connect us to something greater than ourselves.

I am a man of routine, and I like to keep a regular schedule.

I am not a fan of modern music, but I do believe that there is always something new to learn from the past.

I am a man of strong opinions, and I am not afraid to express them.

I am a man of great passion, and I pour all of my emotions into my music.

I believe that music should be accessible to everyone, and it should not be reserved for the elite.

I am a man of few words, but I hope my actions speak louder than my words.

I am a man of great integrity, and I always try to do what is right.

I believe that music should be a source of joy and comfort, and it should bring people together.

I am a man of great humility, and I am always willing to learn from others.

I am a man of great determination, and I never give up on my dreams.

Without craftsmanship, inspiration is a mere reed shaken in the wind.

I have often thought that I would like to write an opera, but I am too lazy.

I can't compose a popular opera. My music is too serious.

I have always been a lonely man, and I have always been a lonely composer.

The 'Tragic Overture' is a deeply melancholy work, but it is also a work of hope.

I would give all my symphonies for one good opera.

It is not easy to compose a symphony after Beethoven.

I have learned more from Bach than from any other composer.

I am a slow worker, but I am a sure worker.
