As from afar the magic notes of Mozart's music still gently haunt me. . . . They show us in the darkness of this life a bright, clear, lovely distance, for which we hope with confidence. O Mozart, immortal Mozart, how many, oh how endlessly many such comforting perceptions of a brighter and better life hast though brought to our souls!
That's high and eloquent praise from the composer of Winterreisse and Der Doppelgänger, a man intimately familiar with what he calls "the darkness of this life."
