My grandmother from Baku was a well brought up young girl from a respectable family and she thought that «a day without music is a day lost !» That’s why she spent her money on music lessons for her six children. They were gifted and patient and everybody (except for my freedom-loving mother) conscientiously studied to play violins, cellos, pianos and the harp. Then they began to find themselves husbands and wives who were also musically gifted, and their children inherited their love of music. I grew up in a very musical family which consisted of a cellist, three pianists, two violinists and two harpists. All my uncles and aunts, their children, their friends and their friends’ children were musicians, everybody, except for my mother and me. When i was a girl i found it very advantageous to have a lot of free time and to get my knees dirty. I investigated the world by playing football with friends in the backyards of Baku, while my diligent family practiced music, rehearsed and sweated (in summer it is 40°C in Baku) over the notes. However, they sometimes took me with them to the rehearsals and put me into the orchestra pit. I began to become familiar with the goings on of the Baku operas and conservatories, and even now I hear the sounds of the Azerbaijani symphonic orchestra, headed by the elegant maestro Niyazi. I lived near music, but outside it. I heard it with my eyes“ (A. Kremer-Khomassouridze). – Very good copy.
