След като разгледахме най-общо добродетелите, пороците и останалите отнасящи се към нравствеността неща, сега е необходимо да се спрем на тях поотделно: тъй като, колкото постъпките ни са конкретни, общите морални наставления са по-малко полезни. Даден морален предмет може да бъде разглеждан обаче в неговата отделност по два начина: от една страна, с оглед самата му материя, както когато се разглежда например ето тази добродетел или ето този порок; от друга - с оглед отделните положения на людете, както когато става дума за подчинените и властвуващите, за водещите действен или съзерцателен живот и изобщо за всички такива ... |

Сюита за китара. ... "Много китаристи и учители по китара, които харесват музиката ми, продължават да ме питат: "Написахте ли нещо по-лесно, нещо, което може да се свири без много упражнения, нещо подходящо не само за нас, но и за нашите ученици?"
