"The dark bass strides quietly through the depths, persistently and secretly like time itself; a ghostly breath murmurs about the heights and rustles through light leaves; and from within emerges a voice which rises and falls in a seemingly aimless manner, and which speaks more than it sings..." (Gustav-Robert Tornow on the 8th variation of the Passacaglia in his 1907 introduction to the work)
