' Liszt's importance lies In the one place where great men's importance can lie: in faith. In that fanatical faith which sharply distinguishes from normal men whomsoever it carries ... Such a man is an artist no longer, but soon something greater: a prophet.' (Schoenberg: centenary tribute to Liszt)

Lecturer in English in the University of Cambridge

It was valued because it trained the mind in abstract speculation. Behind the sonorous glory of medieval composition lies the belief sounds pass quickly away but numbers remain.'
