  • Church bell...


        van  Van Cliburn     180px-Rachmaninov   Sergey Vasilievich Rachmaninov   
        

        I loved music of  Rachmaninov (1873-1943) who was composer in Russia..
        I had record of his piano concert No.2 by Van Cliburn ( 1934~ )..I knew 
        Rachmaninov image and incerted church bell in this number..Rachmaninov was
        noble and faith to Eastern Orthodox church...He moved to America after Russian
        revolution ( 1917 ) ...this famous great music was played in many cocert or piano 
        competition...I feel nature dorama in Russian music ( Tchaikovsky , too ).. they 
        praise to soil as like as God..

        Van Cliburn borned in Luisiana LA and he won No.1 in piano competition
        at first Tchaikovsky competition in Moscow ( 1958 )..this competition started
        in middle of Cold War..and It seems show Russian art power to the world..
        but Van Cliburn of USA won in piano section..(Violin section was Russian )
        this sensational debut of him was 23years old and became hero of nation...
        Newspaper uped photo of open car parade with flower blizzard in Texas..
        and wrote " Texas man won to world piano competition ! " ...

  • My piano teacher suggested to my mother that I be allowed to quit my lessons; I had no talent and little desire to learn.  But, I love to listen to others who have talent.
