“But the chord changes are haunting, and there are moments that draw you right in, in the most intimate way. We'll record it when we've performed it a few times. A piece like that needs to be out in the sunlight for a while.”
David Harrington
“Playing octaves was just a coincidence. And it's still such a challenge, like chord versions, block chords like cats play on piano. There are a lot of things that can be done with it, but each is a field of its own. I used to have headaches every time I played octaves, because it was extra strain, but the minute I'd quit I'd be all right. But now I don't have headaches when I play octaves.”
Wes Montgomery
“I realized by using the high notes of the chords as a melodic line, and by the right harmonic progression, I could play what I heard inside me. That's when I was born.”
Charlie Parker
“I don't know that many chords. I'd be loaded if I knew that many. But that's not my aim. My aim is to move from one vein to the other without any trouble. The biggest thing to me is keeping a feeling, regardless what you play. So many cats lose their feeling at various times, not through the whole tune, but at various times, and it causes them to have to build up and drop down, and you can feel it.”
“The true chords are sheltered in the soul of the violinist, of the artist – the world is a resonance box. The Hope, Eternity, the world.”
Mariana Fulger
“It's hugely gratifying. We've only been around two and a half years, but we've obviously struck a chord with Toronto readers.”
Bob Harris
“...power to fill her life, with happiness, to wake her heart's chords to touch her soul's depths.”
