At above the age of six or seven, I realized that of all the invisible powers, the one I was destined to be most affected and dominated by was music. From that moment on I had a world of my own, a sanctuary and a heaven that no one could take away from me. Oh, music! A melody occurs to you; you sing it silently, inwardly only; you steep your being in it; it takes possession of all your strength and emotions, and during the time it lives in you, it effaces all that is fortuitous, evil, coarse and sad in you; it brings the world into harmony with you it makes burdens light and gives wings to depressed spirits.
-Hermann Hesse
