至于我和贝多芬的关系,我很佩服那些能说出自己真实想法的人。就好像他在说,“这就是我对世界的感受,我不在乎人们会怎么说。”他的音乐纯净而诚实。贝多芬从不冒充别人。
(As for my relationship to Beethoven, I admire people who can say what they really think. It's as though he's saying, 'That's how I feel about the world, and I don't care what people may say.' His music is pure and honest. Beethoven never pretends to be anybody else.)
