In art, form is everything; matter, nothing.--_Heinrich Heine._

Strange thing art, especially music. Out of an art a man may be so

trivial you would mistake him for an imbecile, at best a grown infant.

Put him into his art, and how high he soars above you! How quietly he

enters into a heaven of which he has become a denizen, and, unlocking

the gates with his golden key, admits you to follow, an humble, reverent

visitor.--_Bulwer-Lytton._
