Funny quotes from Herbert von Karajan

  

Herbert von Karajan (April 5, 1908 – July 16, 1989) was one of the most famous Austrian conductor. 


Here are some quote from him:




"I can play with my seventy strings a pianissimo which is much, much more subtle than a chamber orchestra's."


"If you start with almost nothing, people concentrate much more on hearing you. Then when the outbreak comes, it makes a far greater impact."


"No music is vulgar, unless it is played in a way that makes it so."



"Sometimes, when I listen to some of my old recordings, I envy painters who can simply burn the pictures they don't like. I cannot."
