Bruckner quote

Postby Hampayof » 2014-09-22, 18:56

Guten Tag! I want to see the original German version of the following quote from Anton Bruckner. I've performed many searches using German fragments of the quote, and I've looked in quote collections, but I can't seem to find it...

They want me to write differently. Certainly I could, but I must not. God has chosen me from thousands and given me, of all people, this talent. It is to Him that I must give account. How then would I stand there before Almighty God, if I followed the others and not Him?


Can anyone help me?

„Die wollen, daß ich anders schreibe. Ich könnt's ja auch, aber ich darf nicht. Unter Tausenden hat mich Gott begnadigt und dies Talent mir, gerade mir gegeben. Ihm muß ich einmal Rechenschaft ablegen. Wie stünde ich denn vor unserem Herrgott da, wenn ich den anderen folgte und nicht ihm?“
Ein Buch muß die Axt sein für das gefrorene Meer in uns. - Kafka
