'When playing music, it is possible to achieve a unique state of peace, partly due to the fact that one can control, through sound, the relationship between life and death' — Daniel Barenboim
From Barenboim's new book, "Music Quickens Time," quoted in Michael Kimmelman's November 21, 2008 New York Times interview with the maestro.
More: "Since every note produced by a human being has a human quality, there is a feeling of death with the end of each one, and through that experience there is a transcendence of all the emotions that these notes can have in their short lives; in a way, one is in direct contact with timelessness."

What a true way of expressing on what music has the power to expose and project- life, death and everything in between. Mr. Barenboim isn't the first to arrive at this insight which countless have experienced, though perhaps few may articulate it with the authority that Barenboim commands.
