Pablo Casals

Pablo Casals
The cello is like a beautiful woman who has not grown older, but younger with time, more slender, more supple, more graceful.
Pablo Casals
If you play Bach every day, you are not so alone.
Pablo Casals
The art of interpretation is not to play what is written.
Pablo Casals
