Post-performance

My recital at the Republican Lyceum of Music "Ciprian Porumbescu" was presented as the opening recital in the International Competition "Eugen Coca," a prestigious competition for musicians under 18. It was not necessarily my best playing ever, but I was touched by the effusive praise of the mother of one of the contestants in the competition. Her most memorable remark, as rendered by my translator, was: "Sometimes harmony comes down from heaven to fill the space between people."
