Nevertheless the passions, whether violent or not, should never be so expressed as to reach the point of causing disgust; and music, even in situations of the greatest horror, should never be painful to the ear but should flatter and charm it, and thereby always remain music.

  • -- Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart 莫扎特

然而,无论激情是强烈的还是不强烈的,都不应该表达到引起反感的程度;而音乐,即使是在最恐怖的情况下,也不应该让人的耳朵感到痛苦,而应该让人感到悦耳动听,从而永远保持音乐的风格。
