I’m going to write about a musician man who was the
best one in his period.
He was born in El Vendrell in 1876. He started
studying piano, flute and violin when he was five years old.
One day, he saw a person who was playing an instrument
in a special position. It was a cello, he became keen on that instrument and
decided to learn violoncello. When he was studying, he met Isaac Albeniz who helped
him to get some contacts. Afterwards he could continue his classes in Madrid.
He got a degree very early and he played the cello on a particular and personal
way.
He travelled around the world giving concerts and
played side by side with other musicians.
In 1971 he composed “The Hymn of United Nations” and
received the Peace Medal.
Pau Casals always fought to give support to freedom
for Catalonia and he participated in several concerts for peace.
