[ Rochlitz has frequently expressed correct views as to Mozart's method of working, especially in the article "Ein guter Rath Mozarts" (A. M. Z., XXII., p. 297. Für Freunde der Tonk., II., p. 281).]

[ A letter from Mozart to a certain Baron von P. upon this subject, first printed by Rochlitz (A. M. Z., XVII., p. 561), and often subsequently, is incontestably a fabrication as it stands. As it is impossible to determine how far it is founded upon truth, it must remain entirely out of the question.]

[ Beethoven's expression is well known: "Handel is the unrivalled master of masters; go and learn from him how with limited resources to produce such grand results!" (Studien, Anhang, p. 22). Gluck took Kelly (Reminisc., I., p. 255) into his bedroom, and showed him Handel's portrait hanging near his bed, which he used reverently to greet each morning on awaking.]
