Back to music

It was 2015, when I was preparing at home for my studies in economics that I was to undertake in Italy. The 17th Chopin Competition was underway. Chopin's music was constantly playing on the TV. I admit that I had a certain surfeit of performances that did not fully reach me. Suddenly, from behind closed doors, the sounds of Andante Spianato reached me. In the few notes of the melody that I heard, I found a freshness that I had never heard before. A moment later, I was listening with delight to the end of the piece and the following Great Polonaise in E flat major, Op. 22. Kate Liu was playing. This performance made such a huge impression on me that I decided to learn this piece, even though I had not played anything new for several years. A year later, I was performing this piece in Florence, and shortly afterwards, in a conversation with a friend, I told him about my "crazy" idea of ​​applying to study at a music academy. He asked a question that I remember: "Why do you think this idea is crazy?" After a moment of reflection, I knew I was going back to music.
