For Me, Music Is Always

When You Play, Never Mind Who Listens To You.

Thus It Is Ever In Life. The Aims We Once Pursued No Longer Satisfy Us; We Aim, We Strive, We Aspire, Until Sight Fails, And Mind And Body Find Rest In The Grave.

Endeavour To Play Easy Pieces Well And With Elegance; That Is Better Than To Play Difficult Pieces Badly.

Think It A Vile Habit To Alter Works Of Good Composers, To Omit Parts Of Them, Or To Insert New-fashioned Ornaments. This Is The Greatest Insult You Can Offer To Art.

If We Were All Determined To Play The First Violin We Should Never Have An Ensemble. Therefore, Respect Every Musician In His Proper Place.
