The third semestr

I started the third semestr beeing very enthusiastic. I was looking forwad to spending my time in Salzburg again after almost a half a year gap. I enjoyed it for two weeks. The fact that I could meet my schoolmates again and have a personal contact with professors was quite refreshing. In March it seemed great not to have to go anywhere, because I felt like I could save a lot of my time by learning everything at home. But after few weeks I woke up.

From my point of view it is very important to meet other musicians, talk about our opinions, advice and expierences from concerts or privat lessons with professors of instruments in artistic circles. I missed this so much. That is why I was so happy to come back to this sphere for a moment. Even though almost every subject is online now, we can still have lessons of violin, chambre music and accompaniment with a pianist which is the most important thing. It is easier to find motivation for practising, when I know that I will play a beautiful piece with other violinist or that a great pianist will accompany me. It is a bit uninspiring to play only for myself in a livingroom and not to be able to play together with anybody else. I am really looking forward to playing concerts again!

Last week was amazingly driving for me. I spent it with quartet of the Chamber music academy at the castle in Nelahozeves. (It is a born place of Antonin Dvorak.) Because we had been in quarantine or tested before this project, the meeting was save and we could practise deligently our program for the competition. After five days of intensive work we recorded a video which we will send to the preliminary. I really love these music workshops. You are concentrated only on music, you do not have any time limits and nothing disturbs you. The first violinist of a significant czech quartet came to teach us three times. He was a great inspiration for us. Thanks to the Academy we have the best leadership and teachers at our disposal, which help us a lot to move forward. I am very happy to be surrounded with people who are not only great musicians, but also great persons. The result was week full of a beautiful music and lovely time.
