"In the modesty of fearful duty, I read as much as from the rattling tongue of saucy and audacious eloquence."

Confidence and courage are special skills to the art ... Within the four walls of his study, the artist should be modest, work diligently and conscientiously. While for the public, he'll show himself audacious, yes even into cheerful boldness. And so a new public's darling has arisen.

— Robert Schumann
