Purity and Beauty.

Albert Einstein wrote: “Mozart is of such purity and beauty that one feels he merely ‘found’ it–that it has always existed as part of the inner beauty of the universe waiting to be revealed.”

If only art were created that way.

If only we could stumble upon beauty or a sadness and turn it into art so easily.

I wonder how hard Mozart had to work to make his music seem so simple and transparent. Creating the illusion of simplicity often takes the most work of all.

When art is complex, it's easier for its creator to hide behind those complexities.
