"The end of all good music is to affect the soul."

"It is necessary to practice diligently, for mastery comes only through hard work."

"I don't mind if people don't understand my music, as long as they listen."

"I play the notes as they are written, but it is God who makes the music."

"I have always played the organ as well as I could, and if I have played well, it is because I have practiced."
