“Dear Father, I cannot write in verse, for I am no poet. I cannot arrange parts of speech with such art as to produce effects of light and shade, for I am no painter. Even by signs and gestures I cannot express my thoughts and feelings, for I am no dancer. But I can do so by means of sounds, for I am a musician.” Probably no other composer but

Symphony No. 40, The Marriage of Figaro, The Magic Flute or his sonatas, we can only be amazed by the depth of the humanity that emanates from these works, bringing us back to the very essence or our being.
