Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky Quote
According to my deep conviction, Mozart is the highest, the culminating point that beauty has attained in the sphere of music. No one has made me weep, has made me tremble with rapture, from the consciousness of my nearness to that something which we call the ideal, as he has done.
The diaries of Tchaikovsky (Greenwood Press, 1945), p. 248
