I love Bach, and this is one of my favorites. It’s truely inspiring.

Those are miracles that no merely human brain can work. The artist is merely the sound conduct of a Force that dictates to him what he should do. As he was born to that language, Bach brought across the will of that Force in terms of human counterpoint.

— Arnold Schönberg

Among the various musicians who played this piece, I love Casals’s the most. He touches my soul.

The most important thing in music is what is not in the notes.

— Pablo Casals
