We May Be Coming To A New

My Teacher, My Great Cello Teacher Leonard Rose, Was Such A Great Cellist, And Nurturing Man, Very Patient. But I Grew Up Not Only Admiring Him, But Obviously Casals, Rostrotovich, Jacqueline Du Pre, And Many Others, Including Many Of My Peers And Contemporaries.

I Think There Are So Many Ways To Become Interested In Music. I Believe Signs Of Sustained Interest Gives A Sense Of The Right Time. Music, If Thought Of As A Language, Would Perhaps Indicate That As Early As Possible Is Not So Bad. I Do Believe That A Really Nurturing First Teacher That Makes The Child Love Something Is Crucial.

The Tradition Of Classical Music And The Opera Is Such That It Used To Be The Place Where Social Intercourse Could Take Place Between All Parts Of Society: Politicians, Industrialists, Artists, Citizens, Etc. That Tradition, I Think, Still Exists, But It's Much, Much More Diluted.

One Of The Things I Love About Music Is Live Performance.
