Note 27 — Front matter
Reading edition
The late Canon Mozley said that Chopin was "certainly a Manichean; he did not believe in God; he believed in some spirit, not in God;" while "the moral grandeur of Beethoven's genius was always present to him, as, with less force, was also Mendelssohn's: 'They believed in God—their music showed it.'" (Letters, p. 353, Edit. 1885.)
