I have always loved Western tradition classical music.   My earliest memories are from around age three when I played with toys while my sister took her piano lessons.  At age four, when she lost her enthusiasm for the piano, I found my way to the bench and began to play "her" pieces.  My parents decided perhaps lessons were worth a try.

A decade or so later, I was winning youth competitions, gradually making my way up the scale of success, eventually landing at  the Tchaikovsky Conservatory followed by the Gnessin Institute of Moscow. 

Music begins where the possibilities of language end.  Jean Sibelius
