Mary in Kentucky | Is it the instrument or the musician ? (21) | RE: Is it the instrument or the musician ? | 12 Aug 05 |
I remember reading (but can't find the quote now) of Albert Schweitzer, who had an old upright piano shipped to him in Africa. (He had been a concert pianist before he went to Africa as a doctor.) When someone asked him about the quality of the instrument, he said it really didn't matter when you were playing Chopin. I suspect his talent was important too. |
