This thread reminds me of the remark, attributed to Sir Thomas Beecham, addressed to a lady cellist with whose rehearsal performance he was displeased.

What did he say?

“Madam, you have between your legs an instrument capable of giving pleasure to thousands - and all you can do is scratch it”

He is also credited with:
