Musiker: hoffnungslose Romantiker, die, ganz die Faulpelze, die sie meist sind, immer nur die eine Hälfte – die genialische Seite: das irrationale Moment – betonen und darüber das Handwerk vergessen.
Deshalb hier noch ein schönes Zitat von Mozart: “Euch Dilettanten muss man schelten, denn es finden bei euch gewöhnlich zwei Dinge statt: entweder ihr habt keine eigenen Gedanken, und da nehmt ihr fremde; oder wenn ihr eigene Gedanken habt, so wisst ihr nicht damit umzugehen.”
