Ma on Casals

9/27/2016

 
by Rebecca Cochran
 
“What I love about Casals is that he used to say he was, first of all, a human being; second, he was a musician; third, he was a cellist. I think those priorities were very much demonstrated in the way he lived his life. In an interview I heard when Casals was in his nineties, he was asked to choose the one piece he would want to play for the whole world. He selected the Sarabande from Bach’s Fifth Suite. So this is a self-chosen piece by Casals of the very music he had championed throughout his life.” — cellist, Yo-Yo Ma

    My Year of Bach.

    This is an experiment.
    I love Bach: listening to Bach; playing Bach (alone or with others); discovering Bach; learning from Bach; sharing Bach.

    ​I need Bach in my daily life.

    ​So, for 2016, I'm challenging myself to write a short daily post about Bach. Come along for the ride, if you're so inclined. Let's listen, share and learn together!
