The role of the musician is to go from concept to full execution.

The role of the musician is to go from concept to full execution. Put another way, its to go from understanding the content of something to really learning how to communicate it and make sure its well-received and lives in somebody else. – Yo-Yo Ma

Other quotes by Yo-Yo Ma

The thing that Ive always been slightly frustrated with, was that the idea of a CD is kind of confined to a material possession that you can put on a shelf.
