People err who think my art come easily to me. I assure you, dear friend; nobody has devoted so much time and thought to composition as I. There is no a famous master whose music I have not industriously studied many times .
~ Mozart (in a letter to a friend)
Nice quote. Something to think about.

Very interesting and certainly not the part of his "image" that is often remembered. Reminds me of Einstein's quote "Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration."

Great reminder...I have not been feeling "inspired" lately but I do plan on putting major effort into this weekend!

Wow! What a powerful quote! I haven't heard that one! And coming from him! Awesome!

Great quote! We can often think the creative stars as such find it easy and don't have to work at it.
But often they do - and work hard!

I am a classical fan from waay back. Even before classical was cool.
