...adapt the discoveries of great men to the vulgar taste. . . . Beethoven is responsible, because it was he who first devised really effective mu- sical methods for the direct expression of passion and emotions. Beethoven's passion and emotions happened to be noble. But, unhappily, he made it pos sible for people of infinitely inferior mind and character to express in music their less exalted passions and more vul- gar emotions. . . .
