“The summer has finally arrived to Paris: balmy 30 degrees, sweaty tourists…. It is even more amazing that the moment music begins sounding all those people who a minute ago were hurrying along busily , those people suddenly stop in their tracks and dive into the magic of sound, like it was a cool pool. Enjoy this short report for http://www.streetpianos.com and next time you suddenly hear piano sounds on a hot summer day on a street – it’s not an aural mirage , it’s for real – come and join in !”

So rewarding to know that the musical universe I was raised in, was populated by other music lovers: nothing more beautiful that Liszt’s rhapsodies. I am glad that you have enjoyed Valentina’s heartfelt interpretation!

Merci, George! 🙂 Valentina e extrem de talentata… Am locuit 8 ani la Paris si confirm ca unele veri erau la fel de fierbinti ca cele de-aci din sud-vestu’ Frantei, regiunea toulouseana unde locuiesc dupa 5 ani în USofA… 🙂 Salutari amicale, sanatate si-o saptamâna formidabila! Mélanie

My pleasure: We do tend to forget the past, good and bad, some find solace in that…I don’t: I find it in remembering and sharing it when possible, and also bringing it inot the present as reenacted by very special old-to-be-in-few-decade people, who make the past as much part of the present, as we do…NO, it is not the competition making us do it, in fact…there isn’t one in this area…And we have only time to thank for that! That same time that rounded the edges of the hardest materials, and created the image of Earth that it is presented to us today!
Thank you for your thought provoking comment, and kind word!
