| h English (en) | The fire of his developing genius was fanned into white heat by long hours of meditation on ''The Imitation of Christ'', by Thomas a Kempis, and by certain ascetic exercises he had evolved for himself. Had his father not interfered firmly, he would have gone into the arms of the church and abandoned his music. But he was disciplined in music, and therefore brought forth this creative genius. However at the end of his life he went into the seclusion of a monastery where his art reached its highest perfection. |
| h French (fr) | Le feu de son génie naissant fut attisé jusqu’à atteindre une chaleur intense par de longues heures de méditation sur *L’Imitation de Jésus-Christ*, de Thomas a Kempis, et par certains exercices ascétiques qu’il avait lui-même mis au point. Si son père n’était pas intervenu avec fermeté, il se serait tourné vers la religion et aurait abandonné la musique. Mais il fut formé à la musique, ce qui lui permit de révéler ce génie créatif. Cependant, à la fin de sa vie, il se retira dans la solitude d’un monastère où son art atteignit sa plus haute perfection. |
