Joseph Haydn
Haydn, not only do you offer compassion and encouragement, but also humility and genuine sincerity:"Friends often flatter me that I have some genius, but he [Mozart] stands far above me."
Your soulful humility is proudly blessed by the highest Heights. At a performance of The Creation, you affirm: "Not from me — it came from above."
Sri Chinmoy, Music: ecstasy's heart-hunger, Agni Press, 1994
