Violin Quotes

My mum was very good at making me take up musical instruments, so although there was no popular music she made me learn the recorder when I was three, the violin when I was five and the piano when I was seven. I took up the guitar myself when I was 14 Picture Quote #1

Visually I’ve always liked the 20s 30s for film. I do these because I like the music. I like the clothes. I like the way the women and the guys look. There are soldiers and sailors and gangsters with the machine guns in their violin cases. It’s a very colorful era of New York, full of great theater and great nightclubs and great jazz Picture Quote #1

Marriage is like a violin. After the beautiful music is over, the strings are still attached Picture Quote #1

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

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin Dance me through the panic ‘til I’m gathered safely in Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove Dance me to the end of love Picture Quote #1

I started playing violin in the 5th grade. They had a program in school where you could get out of class to go play instruments. So I raised my hand, left out of class, me and a bunch of my homeboys, just to get out of class for that day. They asked what instrument you wanted to play and I picked the violin Picture Quote #1

The only downside to playing the violin is that you never know when you’re going to be asked to play. I could be out to dinner or having a drink at a bar, and someone could just give me a violin, and I’ve got to be ready to play Picture Quote #1

The violin is very beautiful. Some people relate it as the shape of a lady, but, whether you like it or not, it’s been so for more than 400 years, unlike modern stuff that easily looks dated. But I think it’s very personal and unique that, although each violin looks pretty similar, that no two violins sound the same Picture Quote #1

Because two people in love don’t make a hive mind. Neither should they want to be a hive mind, to think the same, to know the same. It’s about being separate and still loving each other, being distinct from each other. One is the violin string one is the bow Picture Quote #1

Another thing that I don’t like to do is show too much how it goes. I do it once in a blue moon. Sometimes there are lessons when I don’t pick up a violin at all Picture Quote #1

I began my show business career playing violin in San Francisco at the corner of Market and Taylor. I understand that there is a theater there now Picture Quote #1

I was raised a musician and I played classic music, violin, in orchestras and music comedy theaters, I have music running around in my head all the time, and if I hear music that’s too interesting, I have to pay attention to it Picture Quote #1

In contemporary music, the challenge for me is to make the recorder sound as naturally expressive as, for example, the violin - without doing it too much and forcing the instrument. It is very easy to be overly expressive on the recorder, and finding the balance is quite difficult Picture Quote #1

My mother played the piano and my father the violin, I can remember my dad teaching me how to waltz; I had my feet on his, my mother playing the piano, and my husband will tell you the lessons weren’t very successful Picture Quote #1

You don’t have to be a professional to play music. Close your eyes, take a deep breath.. And let it out. Let the violin dance, the guitar fascinate, the flute sing, the piano composes. Just. Let. It. Go Picture Quote #1

I basically started playing violin at the age of six. That lasted about three years because my previous teacher died and the second teacher didn’t really know how to successfully get me going Picture Quote #1

To me, mathematics is like playing the violin. Some people can do it - others can’t. If you don’t have it, then there’s no point in pretending Picture Quote #1

I quit piano and violin because it felt too rigid. It was just my thing, something I fell in love with from a very early age Picture Quote #1

I am playing the violin, that’s all I know, nothing else, no education, no nothing. You just practice every day Picture Quote #1

I don’t think there is any end to translucence. It’s an endless journey, rather like playing the violin Picture Quote #1

I love classical music and have been playing violin since I was seven. Music helps me to express feelings in a way words often cannot Picture Quote #1

I grew up a fat kid in a small town in Minnesota who was a tomboy and happened to play a mean violin. My goal was to be a famous concert artist some day Picture Quote #1

I’ve always listened to music while I write, but none of my work has been so directly impacted by a song as my new novel, ‘So Cold the River,’ for which the brilliant strings piece ‘Short Trip Home,’ composed by Edgar Meyer and featuring the incredible Joshua Bell on violin, inspired much of the story Picture Quote #1

I first played the Royal Albert Hall when I was 14. I was a violinist with the Birmingham Schools Concert Orchestra, and we travelled down from the Midlands for the last night of the School Proms. We played some pieces from the Harry Potter films, and the violin parts were really hard Picture Quote #1

Since I first picked up the violin, I’ve been very interested in tone and texture: I would have very visceral reactions to the texture of a snare drum or a pedal steel guitar or a violin 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

There are some days I take my violin out and it feels dreadful, like nothing is responding, and I want to sell it and get rid of it. And the next day suddenly the skies open up and the sound is glorious again. So it’s like a relationship: There are good days and bad days Picture Quote #1

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

Life’s like the piano and the violin, it’s about how smart you could play the melodies to make a good harmony Picture Quote #1
