| Let us have fantasy, boldness, unexpectedness, enchantment -- above all, tenderness, morbidezza! |
| |
-- Georges Bizet |

|
| “I adore art...when I am alone with my notes, my heart pounds and the tears stream from my eyes, and my emotion and my joys are too much to bear.” |
| |
~~Giuseppe Verdi |
| |
|
| “Inspiration is an awakening, a quickening of all man's faculties, and it is manifested in all high artistic achievements.” |
| |
~~Giacomo Puccini |
