"Elliot, Jr., Gilbert . "Gabriel Fauré and His Songs". Harvard Musical Review. Volume 1, Number 10. pp. 10 and 25-27."

"Brahms Institut, Lübeck Academy of Music"

"Concerts are never real music, you have to give up the idea of hearing in them all the most beautiful things of art."

"Sorrowful and great is the artist's destiny."
