Quoted in J. Hadamard, Essay on the Psychology of Invention in the Mathematical Field (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1945). However, according to Daniel Dennett in ‘Memes and the exploitation of imagination’, Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism, vol. 48 (1990), pp. 127–35 (available at http://ase.tufts.edu/cogstud/dennett/papers/memeimag.htm#5), this oft-quoted passage is probably not from Mozart and is of uncertain origin.
