The piano is the most elegant instrument. I'm so thankful my mom made me play piano when I was a kid and always told me, "you're gonna thank me one day for all these lessons". And the fact she paid me $1 every time I would practice ha ha.
My parents brought me a record from their trip to Russia of the 12-year old Kissin dressed in a white shirt and red comsomol tie. He played a Chopin piano concerto brilliantly and I was hooked for life
No matter how much I listen to Kissin, I can’t get over the feeling that I am listening to someone who practices the piano 16 hrs a day. He will never reach Valentina Lisitsa’s ease of performance, her grace and quickness of fingers and most importantly - her divine gift.
Me encanta este concierto de Prokofiev, ya se lo había escuchado a Daniil con el director Valery Gergiev, igual de hermoso porque Daniil es magnífico. ♥️

My son, with a very special teacher (S cool music) could play Bach extremely well *without learning to read music). I had him listen to the most talented piano players and tell him he plays even better! He had a big sucess at the end of the school year. But he skipped to acoustic guitare and was sucessful as well. Sorry for my wording : I am french.
