Violin Part

Famous quotes containing the words violin and/or part:

    The basic difference between classical music and jazz is that in the former the music is always greater than its performance—Beethoven’s Violin Concerto, for instance, is always greater than its performance—whereas the way jazz is performed is always more important than what is being performed.
    André Previn (b. 1929)

    I tell you solemnly
    That I was sorry to have disappointed him. To be eaten by that beak and become part of him, to share those wings and those eyes—
    What a sublime end of one’s body, what an enskyment; what a life
    after death.
    Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)
