 Musica clasica: El legado de Pau Casals
Casals tenía un enfoque a la música que exigía análisis microscópico del texto, y le llevó tiempo a Bunting hasta que pudiese acostumbrarse al nivel de detalle requerido por su nuevo maestro.
Sus alumnos, que provenían de muchos países del mundo, recibieron clases obligatorias sobre los estilos de arco y el uso de los dedos de Casal, y Bunting a menudo citaba esta frase de Casals: "la dificultad de tocar el violonchelo es saber cómo ir de una nota a la siguiente".
Así el primer exponente del arte del maestro Pau Casals es recordado a través del trabajo de sus numerosos alumnos, y la tradición y la disciplina que inspiraban a su forma de tocar, sobreviven en otros.
