Face to face, or soul to soul
Alex Khodakovsky from the book "One step to musical creativity".
It is impossible to invite Music to you,
But you can hold the soul open...
It is impossible to invite Wind to your house,
But you can leave the window open...
A musician, they say, is what his biography makes him. Perhaps not one hundred per cent, but to a considerable extend this is true. I don't believe life and music can be divided. There are plentiful co-ordinates at which they intersect. What follow then is either fierce conflict, or fraternization and genuine companionship. During my life I was to experience both.
I never built my self an Ebony Tower ,always shutting between poles: music-psychology of creations, pedagogic-composition, ancient history - secret the human nature, human spirit...
What made me first begin speaking the language of music? That I cannot tell and frankly don't remember. It happened a long while ago, when I wasn't yet nine.
