Diogenes
“Salieri was a pupil of Gluck. He was born in Italy in 1750 and died in Vienna in 1825. He left Italy when he was 16 and spent most of his life in Vienna. He's the key composer between classic music and romantic music. Beethoven was the beginning of romantic music, and he was the teacher of Beethoven and Schubert.”
Cecilia Bartoli
“I am putting old heads on your young shoulders...all my pupils are the creme de la creme.”
Muriel Spark
“The secret of education lies in respecting the pupil.”
