New Pictures Online
Mood:  a-ok
Now Playing: Chopin, Chopin, Chopin...

I made some new photos from the ISA Summer Academy available in the Gallery. Soon I hope to post the others somewhere on the web - I will put here a link then, for sure.

Nothing but good news?
Mood:  rushed
Now Playing: Chopin Sonata in B minor, op. 58

"Reality is a question of perspective; the further you get from the past, the more concrete and plausible it seems -- but as you approach the present, it inevitably seems incredible." (Salman Rushdie)

So... Times are changing, as Bob Dylan sings...

And as well for me. My dear professor retired (his health problems were stronger than his passion for music, unfortunately) and now comes "the time of miracle and wonder"...

Although I am moving to class of really excellent teacher (Mrs. Vlasakova) and will work also with one of the best country's young piano performers (Mr. Jirasky - well-known Janacek specialist), I am rather confused and sad... Things just happened too quickly.

But music still goes on - and Chopin's Sonata No. 3 is the purest beauty. So, wish everything will finish at its best. Let's see...

And now continue...
Mood:  energetic

And so i was there... Wonderful event, rare even in my experience. I will put here some pictures. I performed on two concerts, attend large workshop with orchestra and worked with amazing professor, Mr. Jan Gottleb Jiracek. And now - back to daily work...

I also finished all my translations of Paul Simon's lyrics. See here: http://paulsimon.webpark.cz

Now will start to work on my next season's program. Let the music wash my soul again...

Wonderful
Mood:  happy

Hi everyone!

So I am here for a whole week, so I can summarize...

And I must say, whole event really satisfied me much. Environment, accomodation, practising and especially Mr. Jiracek, really amazing teacher...

But what pleased me mostly was that opportunity to perform with a festival orchestra. First rehearsal went quite well, altough I have to switch for slightly more fluent tempo in the second movement. But, anyway, I am really glad to be here. Also I made new and very interesting friends what is also great.

So - back to work. Mozart is waiting...

;-)

Drang nach ??sterreich
Mood:  special

So - today I am leaving for the festival Prag-Wien-Budapest. To meet new friends, to share ideas, discuss about music and also play...

Isn't it wonderful? So, thank you very much, faculty. Unfortunately I am not the only one, who wouldn't ever take part in such event without scholarship.

So, who wants to listen to me, visit Reichenau an Rax on Sunday!

-will perform Dussek - more than interesting piece. If you want to learn about it, visit: http://pianosociety.com/new/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=279&highlight=dussek

So - See you in Austria Cool

First Day...
Mood:  lyrical

So I started also with my weblog... Will see how long it would keep with me. I never had diary, actually. But this is a way, how to express something inside me - so you can await some poems, some stories from my life, some comments on topics, which interest me... Or maybe we can chat a little here as well. Or I finish it as quickly as I started. 

Everything is possible for him who believes...

And do I believe? One of the questions which constantly occurs around my life...
