1.1 In the beginning, I was born in Baku (1945), where I spent my early years. A word of clarification \u2013 I\u2019m Russian with a Jewish name (Russian on my mother\u2019s side).<\/p>\n

1.2 My earliest musical memories are linked to listening to Chopin\u2019s Marche fun\u00e8bre played by brass bands during daily funeral processions in the streets of Baku. Apart from such haunting music, my musical education was enriched by episodic listening to two 78 rpm records\u2014with excerpts from Gounod\u2019s opera Faust: the Valse and the aria by Mephistopheles (Le veau d\u2019or) with Feodor Chaliapin.<\/p>\n

1.3 In 1955, I had to travel alone by plane from Baku to Moscow to meet my parents. Having already acquired the habit of strolling the streets, I found myself in front of the Stanislavsky Theatre and, with two rubles in my pocket, I was able to buy a ticket and enter a magical theatre for the first time. And the magic of the first three chords of Puccini\u2019s Tosca predetermined my future destiny, now associated with writing musical notes on snow-white paper that can withstand anything.<\/p>\n

1.4 Good news\u2014at the age of 12, I finally managed to start studying composition with Nikolai Korndorf and our teacher Grigory Frid.<\/p>\n

1.5 Two years later, I finally decided to learn to play the piano with Nathan Fischman, a great specialist in deciphering Beethoven\u2019s sketchbooks (almost indecipherable, in fact).<\/p>\n

I treasure these three volumes containing Nathan Fischman\u2019s very subtle analyses of the sketches and subsequent evolution of Beethoven\u2019s creative thinking. In fact, my piano studies lasted only four years, after which I was forced to stop because of serious problems with my hands.<\/p>\n

1.6 1963-1967 \u2013 Composition studies at the Moscow Conservatory with Alexander Pirumov and Dmitry Kabalevsky.<\/p>\n

1.7 1967-1974 \u2013 Marriage, birth of my daughter Maria. I tried to revive my aborted relationship with the piano, that indomitable instrument, and this is how I managed to present to the public Messiaen\u2019s marvelous 20 Regards sur l\u2019Enfant J\u00e9sus, Ives\u2019 2nd Sonata, and the Klavierst\u00fccke by the composer born on the star Sirius (as everyone knows). Strangely enough, at the time I preferred to play all these works by heart, which wasn\u2019t at all necessary…<\/p>\n
