Cello Quotes
-
The spirit of the music is the only thing which can rightfully dictate physical action on the cello.
William Pleeth -
Be honest. Do not put more into the music than the music itself contains.
Pau Casals -
Playing lifts you out of yourself into a delirious place.
Jacqueline du Pre -
A cello was there 400 years ago and will still be here in 400 years.
Thomas Bangalter
