The homework bit made me smile-mine are missing three days too and they insisted to take almost all books with them ! I was the one telling them not to! Isn´t that supposed to be the other way around ?

yes, Janos initially wanted to play the cello, but I was a bit hesitant – wanted to see if he insisted, and he hasn’t… He has his hands full with the piano and all the other school stuff, so that’s enough. I am very patient with him practising the piano – with the cello I am not sure what would have happened.

Best wishes,

Alban

would you let your son play the cello if he wanted? A professor who gave a masterclass in Poland (Tomasz Strahl, I don’t know if you already heard the name – great cellist/musician!) told me that he didn’t want his son to play the cello, but now he is doing, but the father feels unable to be patiently with him.

der Dirigent Hartmut Haenchen schreibt sich wirklich mit ae und ohne h. Es klingt zwar so, wie ein Hähnchen, ist es aber nicht. Es gab ja aber auch kein Programmbuch wo man das nachlesen könnte. Aber der Schostakowitsch war einfach großartig (und Janos natürlich auch)
