The Most Difficult Instrument To Play In

Which Of My Jewish Roots Do I Follow?

This Will Be Our Reply To Violence: To Make Music More Intensely, More Beautifully, More Devotedly Than Ever Before.

Einstein Said That "the Most Beautiful Experience We Can Have Is The Mysterious." So Why Do So Many Of Us Try To Explain The Beauty Of Music, Thus Depriving It Of Its Mystery?

I've Been All Over The World And I've Never Seen A Statue Of A Critic.

We Musicians, Like Everyone Else, Are Numb With Sorrow At This Murder, And With Rage At The Senselessness Of The Crime. But This Sorrow And Rage Will Not Inflame Us To Seek Retribution; Rather They Will Inflame Our Art. Our Music Will Never Again Be Quite The Same. This Will Be Our Reply To Violence: To Make Music More Intensely, More Beautifully, More Devotedly Than Ever Before. And With Each Note We Will Honor The Spirit Of John Kennedy, Commemorate His Courage, And Reaffirm His Faith In The Triumph Of The Mind.
