" "[...], y su melodía, como una voz de los elementos, se alzaba al cielo sin más poesía que la del sentimiento. No tenía ya miedo Valentina, porque se hallaba bajo el hechizo de aquel misterioso canto; y era tan dulce la sensación que le causaba, que ni aun le ocurrió admirarse de oírle en aquel sitio y aquella hora.
Cesó el canto, y Valentina creyó que lo había soñado.

"[On Chopin's Preludes:]
"His genius was filled with the mysterious sounds of nature, but transformed into sublime equivalents in musical thought, and not through slavish imitation of the actual external sounds. His composition of that night was surely filled with raindrops, resounding clearly on the tiles of the Charterhouse, but it had been transformed in his imagination and in his song into tears falling upon his heart from the sky. ... The gift of Chopin is [the expression of] the deepest and fullest feelings and emotions that have ever existed. He made a single instrument speak a language of infinity. He could often sum up, in ten lines that a child could play, poems of a boundless exaltation, dramas of unequalled power.
