I guess, some of you would like to communicate about yourself, your life, interests, studies, family, travels and experiences.

Hence this topic.
If we don´t need such one, let me know. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Good idea !! You could begin with yourself dear Jana !!!!! We know each other well but the other members would maybe know you better !!!!! If you do, I'll follow !!

But....what do you want to know about me, dear? [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

For example : when did you begin to play music ? What was your first musical emotion ? What are you playing with your orchestra at the moment ?

Oh.....that will be one looong story! )))
My very first musical emotion was my happy singing Grandfather ( who was an verrry good violinist and first peformer of some quite modern music ) as he saw me - I got with two and a half years an cardboard - violine and "played" on it with a pen.
Then, my first great music experience was with four as my dear mum ( she was also an very good violinist ) took me to the ballet " Swanlake" and the administration didn´t want to let me through because " the little child will disturb the performance". But my mum went to the director and promised, that " this child won´t bother the audience". ))) Then I wanted to become a balletteuse. A bit later I got to listen "La Traviata" and decided to be a Primadonna. ))) But my wise mum told me, that it would be better to learn first some instruments and I started with the violine ( with seven), then I got a pause and started with piano- just to "test, what is better " for me, but then again with the violine, though. And I was sometimes very lazy. )))

With the orchestra we´re playing Beethoven´s 1th and 4th Sinfonies and Mozart´s G-Dur Violin Concerto with the winner of German "Youth Musicians" competition as soloist.

Thank you my Jana !
Sorry for answering so late...but the vacations are here now! As Obelix, you "falled in the marmit when you were a litlle child !". Do you understand what I mean ? It's moving to imagine you as this passionate little girl !

Big kisses my dear while wainting the Santa Klaus !!

Oh yes, I understand! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
But you know, I should be an actress - to have the possibility to perform all these great arts a little- to dance, to sing, to be "not really myself"....but my mum told me, it is an very difficult life and it is better for me to stay by the violine and music- pedagogics....I regret it so much, but as we emigrate to Germany, it was an really serious step , I had to learn the language and to start to work...it was no fun and very hard. So, I attended later an private "Russian Actor School" and took private singing lessons- just for me, to be a bit closer to my dream.
And I still would be " not really myself".....

@Jana: That's very sweet and you're SO lucky to have been born in a family of musicians! I wish I had been.

I'm not too sure where to post this so since it's about my personal blog and the thread said personal life I thought here would be ok.
I just found the link to the Libretto of "Celos aún del aire matan" at your youtube video, I don't know how I had missed it since I was dying to learn the words to the available videos.
I tried to post the words to them as comments but they were too long so I made a blog post about them, I linked to Jana's youtube account and to this forum on that post, I hope that's appropriate but I can remove the links if there's something wrong with it, so if you haven't figured out the lyrics yet and would like to here's the link to my post:

Also Youtube user Bejun sent me a link to download the full opera, but I'm unable to because I don't have room in my PC to store anything else But if you would like it I can post it here, you need a particular program to download it.
