Johann Sebastian Bach

Study hard, for out of 100 people, 99 can't do it.

I find that I can improvise more on the organ than on the harpsichord.

I play the notes as they are written, and if they are not written, I don't play them.

If I am not mistaken, this is a new piece.

Don't worry, just play.

It's all very simple. Just practice.

The more I practice, the luckier I get.

I have always played the organ as well as I could, and if I have played well, it is because I have practiced.

I have many pieces that I play for my own pleasure.

I play for the glory of God and the recreation of the spirit.

The only thing that matters is the music.

It is a pity that so many good musicians are not also good composers.

My music is best understood by children and old people.

I do not know if I am a great composer, but I am certainly a good one.

I like to listen to music while I work.

I play the notes in order, and the music comes out.

It all sounds good to me.

I have to write music every day, or I become ill.

The greatest pleasure of all is to improvise.

I am not a musician, I am a craftsman.
