Today's calendar quote is from Frederic Chopin ... it STILL has meaning (of course):
Every difficulty slurred over will be a ghost to disturb your repose later on.
.
Without music, the world would be grey, very grey.

Why hahaha? How many people are stung later by situations where they took the easy way out of a difficult situation? How many are haunted by conflicts and misunderstandings that they did not deal with properly earler in life?
Then there is the musical aspect of this phemomenon, where slurring over difficulties is simply sloppy. Deciding how to approach the difficult is an important part of practicing and music making.

on the other hand, i'd rather cleanly slur over a difficult running passage, than butcher it completely trying to tongue it all....

I think, maybe, what his lordship was referring to is this: if you make a mistake during the execution of a difficult passage it will play on your mind for the rest of the piece ... the fact that the audience is aware of it is kind of irrelevant. This is so true - it's very easy to be spooked by a dodgy note after the event ... adrenalin races, you think " dammit - did anyone HEAR that" et cetera.
