To be a musician is a great privilege but it is also a very great responsibility. One must think that to be a musician is a gift - a gift from Nature. There is no great merit in us except in loving this gift with respect and devotion and doing everything possible to honor that gift by work and more work. We must work with conviction and humility, searching for beauty, simplicity, and the Truth. And it is for us musicians to do all in our power for a better world. Music must carry the message of beauty, of love and of peace.
Pablo CasalsMusic must serve a purpose; it must be a part of something larger than itself, a part of humanity.
Pablo CasalsEach second we live is a new and unique moment of the universe; a moment that never was before and never will be again.
Pablo Casals
