I listen to mostly classical music, when I have time – mostly Chopin lately. I have two students competing in September who will be playing Chopin, so I’ll listen to their pieces over and over to help with their instruction. Other than that I only have six CDs in my car. I’m very busy and my English isn’t that good, so I don’t read too, too much. When I have time I read health magazines and cookbooks, and sometimes popular magazines. Again, I don’t have much time, but I watch the news when I can and sometimes in the late evenings I’ll watch old Russian movies. I took my granddaughter to see Cinderalla at Crossgates recently. She really liked it! I would like to go to Paris and see the Eiffel Tower. This is actually my dream. I’ve been to lots of countries, but never France. This will probably be my next trip. I like to spend my free time with my family. I also play the piano very often. I’ve been playing all my life. I also like sewing and cooking. These are all of my favorite things. Tea, and cake and chocolate. I drink a lot of tea.
There’s one world famous pianist, Denis Matsui. He’s a young Russian guy, one of the best in the world right now. I’ve seen many of his concerts so I would really like to meet him.What have you been listening to lately?
