Vladimir Horowitz's Quotes

Perfection itself is imperfection.

If you want me to play only the notes without any specific dynamics, I will never make one mistake.

My future is in my past and my past is my present. I must now make the present my future.

I am a general. My soldiers are the keys and I have to command them.

My face is my passport.

I must tell you I take terrible risks. Because my playing is very clear, when I make a mistake you hear it. If you want me to play only the notes without any specific dynamics, I will never make one mistake. Never be afraid to dare.
