#Violin

"Life' wrote a friend of mine, 'is a public performance on the violin, in which you must learn the instrument as you go along."

"There is no competition of sounds between a nightingale and a violin."

"It is my aim, my destination in life to make the cello as beloved an instrument as the violin and piano."

"It was a hurting tune, resigned, a cry of heartache for all in the world that fell apart. As ash rose black against the brilliant sky, Fire's fiddle cried out for the dead, and for the living who stay behind to say goodbye."
