More quotes by Itzhak Perlman
When you play a concerto with a small orchestra, you don't feel it is as important as Carnegie Hall. You try to work out all the little problems. Once that's all done, trust comes in.
Itzhak Perlman
Same thing with harmonies. If you hear something that harmonically is interesting, express it. So that's what I'm saying about talking the music rather than just playing through.
Itzhak Perlman
The Violin of my dreams. If you wanna play a pianissimo that is almost inaudible and yet it carries through a hall that seats 3,000 people, there's your Strad.
Itzhak Perlman
I don't feel that the conductor has real power. The orchestra has the power, and every member of it knows instantaneously if you're just beating time.
Itzhak Perlman
I couldn't only do one thing--I don't want the personal hell of oneness.
Itzhak Perlman
I love to work with young kids.
Itzhak Perlman
The thing is that what you try to do when you play is you try to play not below a certain level. In other words, it can be a special day where it would be phenomenal, but if it's not below a certain level, that's the goal. You know, that's what you want to do. That's why you practice and so on.
Itzhak Perlman
Just imagine yourself in a wheelchair. Go through the building. If there's a place you can't go in, it's not accessible.
Itzhak Perlman
This machine, the wheelchair, I can go all over the place, but you need a place without stairs to get in.
Itzhak Perlman
For every child prodigy that you know about, at least 50 potential ones have burned out before you even heard about them.
Itzhak Perlman
Child prodigy is a curse because you've got all those terrible possibilities.
Itzhak Perlman
Everybody has a different kind of talent and a different timetable as to when they develop.
Itzhak Perlman
You decide to be a musician, you have to put in the time.
Itzhak Perlman
Sometimes it is the artist's task to find out how much music you can still make with what you have left.
Itzhak Perlman
The most important thing to do is really listen.
Itzhak Perlman
I do three things. I do teaching, I do conducting and I do playing. And each one of those sort of helps the other.
Itzhak Perlman
I always say separate your abilities from your disabilities. You know, if I could play the violin, I don't have to play it standing up. I can play it sitting down and so on.
Itzhak Perlman
I look at raising funds for The Perlman Music Program as a challenge and as a way to provide opportunities for people who care about the future of classical music.
Itzhak Perlman
Perhaps our task in this shaky, fast-changing, bewildering world in which we live is to make music, at first with all that we have, and then, when that is no longer possible, to make music with what we have left.
Itzhak Perlman
I feel that you always pay when you are a child.
