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."



 



Do you know Karajan was born at Salzburg same city as Mozart? Their house just opposite across the river! In front of Karajan's house has Karajan statue with baton action stand face to Mozart house.
