The passage from Segovia's autobiography which I vaguely remember goes something like:
"You play the guitar to woo your lover. When you are betrayed by your lover, you play the cello to tell your sorrows to your friend. When you are betrayed by your friend, you play the organ to tell your sorrows to God." -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 03, 2005 9:09 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; lute@cs.dartmouth.edu Subject: Re: OT: Mozart for guitar In a message dated 8/3/2005 2:36:16 PM Pacific Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Segovia also said: The song of the piano is a discourse. The song of the 'cello is an elegy. But the song of the guitar is a song. (Actually, to be more correct, he said "The zonk of the guitar is a zonk", but I have translated/transliterated) But what is the song of the lute? The song of the lute is transcendental.
