Music is a moral law It gives a soul to the universe, wings to the minds, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, gayety and life to everything It is the essence of order, and leads to all that is good, just, and beautiful

音樂是一種道德律，它使宇宙有了魂魄，心靈有了翅膀，想像得以飛翔，使憂傷與歡樂有如醉如癡的力量，使一切事物有了生命；它是秩序的本質，引向成為真善美的一切。
