"The first time I blew into a cornet and listening to
Brahms 1st Symphony when I was about ten. I listened to the
oboe solo in the slow movement over and over again and at
that moment became hooked on classical music."
"One can convey many different moods on the cello
sadness, poignancy, passion, happiness and rouguishness,
and the singing tone can be a source of great joy."
