all this Beethoven and rain
I like Beethoven, especially the poems.
The man on the street, he knows who Beethoven is, he knows who Mozart is.
When people ask me for playlists, I always put in 'Moonlight Sonata' because it is my favorite song. I play it all the time.
I'm everything I'm made of. So a part of me is made of classical music. I'm grateful for it.
I listen to music. I particularly love Mozart.
I love music. I have a fondness for Chopin, and I very much like his 'Raindrop Prelude.'
There is no piece of guitar music that has the formal beauty of a piano sonata by Mozart, or the richly worked out ideas and passion of a late Beethoven string quartet, or for that matter the beautiful mellifluous poetry of a Chopin Ballade.
I think, bad times, I sit down and I play - there's definitely certain songs that touch in certain ways. I go back to 'Moonlight Sonata' by Beethoven; that usually takes care of everything.
I'm a big Beethoven fan, and you'll struggle to find a three-minute song on any of his stuff.
I'm a Beethoven freak. I listen to him all the time.
Mozart is sweet sunshine.
My muse has always been the piano.
The revolutionary Mozart is the Mozart of his last eight years.
Right at the end of the war I wrote a piano sonata, which was written at a time when Sam Barber used to come down here and we used to have lunch together in a very nice old hotel that's now not there.
