More quotes by Yehudi Menuhin
If I wanted to play the violin, I had to work. Because anything that one wants to do really, and one loves doing, one must do everyday. It should be as easy to the artist and as natural as flying is to a bird. And you can’t imagine a bird saying well, I’m tired today, I’m not going to fly!
Yehudi Menuhin
I would hate to think I am not an amature. An amateur is one who loves what he is doing. Very often, I'm afraid, the professional hates what he is doing. So, I'd rather be an amateur.
Yehudi Menuhin
We are full of rhythms . . . our pulse, our gestures, our digestive tracts, the lunar and seasonal cycles.
Yehudi Menuhin
It is a technique ideally suited to prevent physical and mental illness and to protect the body generally, developing an inevitable sense of self-reliance and assurance.
Yehudi Menuhin
In all teaching there must be a fusion of authority as an adult providing a stable framework for the children in one's care, and humility as another human being ready to educate an equal who may turn out to be a superior.
Yehudi Menuhin
The practice of yoga induces a primary sense of measure and proportion. Reduced to our own body, our first instrument, we learn to play it, drawing from it maximum resonance and harmony.
Yehudi Menuhin
Music is a therapy.It is a communication far more powerful than words, far more immediate, far more efficient.
Yehudi Menuhin
The violinist must possess the poets gift of piercing the protective hide which grows on propagandists, stockbrokers and slave traders, to penetrate the deeper truth which lies within.
Yehudi Menuhin
Do we not find freedom along the guiding lines of discipline?
Yehudi Menuhin
The violinist is that peculiarly human phenomenon distilled to a rare potency---half tiger,half poet.
Yehudi Menuhin
The ultimate aim in life should be to fulfill to the utmost all that within our ability and to share that which is good and beautiful.
Yehudi Menuhin
Homeopathy is one of the few medical specialties which carries no penalties -- only benefits.
Yehudi Menuhin
Homeopathy is the safest and more reliable approach to ailments and has withstood the assaults of established medical practice for over 100 years
Yehudi Menuhin
We are living in a world where the individual must learn to command the raw materials of expression. He must not be dependent all the time on the ready-made, the finished product. It's the transferring, the changing of the raw into what is the expression of your own self – the whole joy and satisfaction and frustration of life is built into this.
Yehudi Menuhin
Improvisation is not the expression of accident but rather of the accumulated yearnings, dreams and wisdom of our very soul.
Yehudi Menuhin
A way of life which excludes the realm of the unknown and the mysterious is simply not in harmony with life itself.
Yehudi Menuhin
Music creates order out of chaos.
Yehudi Menuhin
I can only think of music as something inherent in every human being - a birthright. Music coordinates mind, body and spirit.
Yehudi Menuhin
Music creates order out of chaos: for rhythm imposes unanimity upon the divergent, melody imposes continuity upon the disjointed, and harmony imposes compatibility upon the incongruous.
Yehudi Menuhin
Searching and the route we take are more important than making a find.
