Funny Quotes from Jascha Heifetz


Jascha Heifetz, 2 February 1901- 10 December 1987, the greatest violinist ever. Here are some quotes from him.


"You may be ready for Beethoven,but Beethoven is not ready for you!"


" If I don't practice one day, I know it; two days, the critics know it; three days, the public knows it."


  "I occasionally play works by contemporary composers and for two reasons: first, to discourage the composer from writing anymore, and second, to remind myself how much I appreciate Beethoven.



 "There is no top. There are always further heights to reach."
