Achievements of Note
Here is Hard Solo playing Ysaye's "Ballade No. 3." Hard Solo just returned from soloing with the Moscow Philharmonic. He was invited as an honor from the Russian Government for his two international prizes. Currently he is preparing for the Queen Elizabeth Competition in Brussels. They send repertoire lists mere weeks before the competition, so Hard Solo learned Ysaye's Sonata No. 6 in 6 days. Mall Diva's violin teacher claims it would take a normal violinist 2 and a half years, although Mrs. Weirsdo, having heard Hard Solo play it now, believes a million would not be long enough for her.
We wish Hard Solo well at the competition.
We also want to congratulate Mall Diva, who was accepted into Tanglewood for this summer.

Congratulations to Mall Diva!
What would happen if Hard Solo were to smile? Would the violin slip from his chin and fall?
wow, that's one pretty
mighty fine solo.
who is this young fellow?
beautiful...!
Congrats to Mall Diva! That's impressive. So is HS'splaying.
He actually has a nice smile, T&I, but when it comes to violin he's all business.
He studies at a university near us, J. J. He's originally from Uzbekistan.
Thanks, RBUD. Hard Solo was good before, but he's now powerful and electrifying too.
Wow - electrifying and powerful, two good adjectives for his playing. Magnificent. Kudos to Mall Diva - that looks like a wonderful progrm. What a great experience that will be for her.
Best regards to Mrs. Weirsdo.
If I was 25 years younger I'd have a mighty crush on that young lad. As it is, I instead feel protective of him and need to prevent him from ever hearing Death Cheese and damaging his musical sensibilities.
Thanks, G.
Or really any sensibilities he might have, CM.
And when you say "mighty," you have no idea if you weren't living with Mall Diva two years ago. But that's ancient history now.
