Violin Quotes

A violinist had a violin, a painter his palette. All I had was myself. I was the instrument that I must care for Picture Quote #1

Of true knowledge at any time, a good part is merely convenient, necessary indeed to the worker, but not to an understanding of his subject: One can judge a building without knowing where to buy the bricks; one can understand a violin sonata without knowing how to score for the instrument. The work may in fact be better understood without a knowledge of the details of its manufacture, of attention to these tends to distract from meaning and effect Picture Quote #1

I would like to thank my father who discouraged me from playing the violin at an early age Picture Quote #1

Learning to play golf is like learning to play the violin. It’s not only difficult to do, it’s very painful to everyone around you Picture Quote #1

The camera for an artist is just another tool. It is no more mechanical than a violin if you analyze it. Beyond the rudiments, it is up to the artist to create art, not the camera Picture Quote #1

A parallel between color and music can only be relative – just as a violin can give warm shades of tone, so yellow has shades, which can be expressed by various instruments Picture Quote #1

If you take a violin, you can make it sound 50 different ways. Not just pizzicato and played by the bow, but ponticello, and harmonics, and tremolos. If you take an oboe and play it, there’s about one way you can make it sound: like an oboe Picture Quote #1

It’s no use practicing too much. First you have to find out how to do it best. You have to be able to invent ways of doing better. Not only practice; obviously you have to practice. But to invent things how to do better. If somebody doesn’t know what invention means, he should stop violin playing! You can’t explain everything... Not practicing only: Think how to achieve quality Picture Quote #1

Math is the beautiful, rich, joyful, playful, surprising, frustrating, humbling and creative art that speaks to something transcendental. It is worthy of much exploration and examination because it is intrinsically beautiful, nothing more to say. Why play the violin? Because it is beautiful! Why engage in math? Because it too is beautiful! Picture Quote #1

The age of a person doesn’t matter. The sweetest music is played on the oldest violin Picture Quote #1

When you play a violin piece, you are a storyteller, and you’re telling a story Picture Quote #1

If you know the music the moment the violin string begins to vibrate, then you know how to navigate through the forest of brambles and entanglements with freedom and ease. If, on the other hand, you think that with practice the forest of brambles and entanglements will altogether disappear, then right from the beginning you are hopelessly entangled and won’t find your way Picture Quote #1

I use to think that the friction was a bad thing. Everything is to ease pain in our society; pain is very much the enemy. And I don’t think that’s true. Tension is a good thing. To be pulled tight: that’s the only way you can make a proper noise on the guitar or violin Picture Quote #1

Electric guitars are an abomination, whoever heard of an electric violin? An electric cello? Or for that matter an electric singer? Picture Quote #1

I didn’t ask my mother to buy me a trumpet or a violin, I started right on the water hose Picture Quote #1

What drew me to the violin was mastering the instrument technically, which I’m continuing to do Picture Quote #1

Well, my main instrument is violin, but I think of myself as a songwriter who happens to play violin Picture Quote #1

You know, I always say musicians, they can do it on their own. They can practice their violin on their own. A painter can paint by himself. A writer can write by himself. But an actor needs a group, and the hardest thing about expanding your ability and your craft is to have a group to do it with that is of a caliber where you can grow even more Picture Quote #1

I wanted to play my violin and have my musical expression through the instrument. But then I was really young when I had my first opportunity to conduct Picture Quote #1

If I look back, my mother was always out. I can remember the perfume and her scarlet chiffon dress and crystal beads, going to a party. She used to play her violin at restaurants later on in life and at old people’s homes. She loved the races, which she used to take me to as a child: our carpets were bought with her winnings. Loved her chickens Picture Quote #1

One may imagine that a man who blew the trumpet for his living would be glad to play the violin for his amusement Picture Quote #1

We must face the fact that many today are notoriously careless in their living. This attitude finds its way into the church. We have liberty, we have money, we live in comparative luxury. As a result, discipline has disappeared. What would a violin solo sound like if the strings on the musician’s instrument were all hanging loose, not stretched tight, not disciplined? Picture Quote #1

I always think of a voice as an instrument, whether a voice is a trumpet, or violin, or bass. You know what I mean? A horn or wind instrument versus a string instrument. Horn instruments are definitely more toward jazz Picture Quote #1

I had gotten to the point where I was either going to play the violin much better or I was going to break it over my knee Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Violin for me is a great instrument because you can use it as a rhythmical instrument and also as a melodic instrument.... You can pretty much do everything with the violin. Sometimes I feel classical music limits the violin Picture Quote #1

I played the clarinet, and my sister played the violin... If wed had the discipline and the passion, maybe we could have been good Picture Quote #1

It is my aim, my destination in life to make the cello as beloved an instrument as the violin and piano Picture Quote #1

I think when I was pretty young I got really into the tone of my instrument and I remember just playing one note for an hour to just kind of feel the resonance of the violin Picture Quote #1

I started taking piano lessons when I was 8 and I wrote my first song shortly after. Music was really important in my family. My grandma was a professional violin player and my parents first met when my dad was giving my mom guitar lessons Picture Quote #1
