| h English (en) | <blockquote>That which is properly the spirit, the very breath of genius, can only be experienced, not described. Imagine a thin figure, with narrow shoulders, his hair falling over his face and down his neck, an extraordinarily spiritual face, expressive, pale, most interesting; an eye that reflects every thought, glittering in conversation or full of good will.... When he sits down at the piano he first passes his hand through his hair, then his glance grows fixed, his breast calm; only his head and the expression of his face show the emotions he is experiencing. It is impossible to give any description of his playing; one must have heard him.<ref>Ibid., pp. 72–73.</ref></blockquote> |
| h French (fr) | <blockquote>Ce qui constitue véritablement l'esprit, le souffle même du génie, ne peut qu'être ressenti, et non décrit. Imaginez une silhouette élancée, aux épaules étroites, les cheveux tombant sur son visage et le long de sa nuque, un visage extraordinairement spirituel, expressif, pâle, des plus intéressants ; un regard qui reflète chaque pensée, pétillant dans la conversation ou plein de bienveillance... Quand il s'assoit au piano, il passe d'abord la main dans ses cheveux, puis son regard se fixe, sa poitrine s'apaise ; seules sa tête et l'expression de son visage trahissent les émotions qu'il éprouve. Il est impossible de décrire son jeu ; il faut l'avoir entendu.<ref>Ibid., pp. 72–73.</ref></blockquote> |
