The secret of all magnetism, whether expressed through personality or through music, is life. It is life which charms, which is attractive. What we are always seeking for is life, and it is the lack of life which may be called lack of magnetism. If musical teaching is given on this principle it will be most successful in bringing about psychological results." It is on the health of the physical body, on thought, on imagination, and on the heart - which is often cold and frozen!- that the psychological power of music depends. It is this life which the musician puts through his fingertips when playing the violin, or through his voice when singing.
