I was in my early teens when I first heard Chopin's Bb minor Sonata for the first time. It spoke to my condition so much, that I not only carried a copy of the score with me everywhere I went, I slept with it under my pillow! And so, you have brought back a loving childhood memory for me with this fine performance of yours, Yako! I think I have listened in on all your Academy performances to date, and this most recent recital by you embraces some bold and challenging works; works that when I was your age one could only dream of playing! Islamey is no small feat, surely! And so, it is with immense respect and admiration that I commend you on this most recent presentation. It is always a pleasure to hear you play, as it is also an honour to bear witness to the Honesty with which you intone each piece! May your gift for Music continue to bring you the joys of artistic satisfaction, and reward you with every success! Blessings!
@@PhillipLWilcher Phillip, It brings me so much joy to read your words. Thank you so much for taking the time to listen and write to me; it takes a special young teen to carry and sleep with the score of such a masterpiece! I really appreciate you and your love for music. Blessings to you as well!
@@yakoperlov9107 Yako, I am well out of my teen years and into my senior years now, but Music has kept me young! With such youth on your side, you are destined to achieve great things! I look forward to hearing you play again soon! God bless you!
