A Three-step Three pianinos Tale

​

These are the first pieces of music I had composed in 1993-1994 (age 8-9), after one year of simplest music education and with no previous or current touch with Western art music besides what I played. My teacher was of a kind that when I would ask about the sign P below the stuff, that I had seen in the pieces that were further in the book - she would say: "It's not what you need to know now, I'll tell you when we arrive there!" When I turned 10, my parents noted that they should talk with her about my music education and they all decided it was a moment for her to take me to a better teacher, which was her friend. I still adore both of those teachers, as they were very sincere.

All these pieces flourished in a few days following my parents' exchanging the only piece of land they had ever acquired, of 100 m2, for a 30-year-old Russian piano "Tchaika". The years 1992-1995 were the first hardest period in my childhood, when a one-month salary was enough just for buying one bread and one liter of milk, and the inflation was recounted three times a day, each time 1000 times higher that the previous. We were surviving exclusively because of going to the village of my great-grandparents every single weekend, vacation day and holiday, to work the land, take care of domestic animals and produce food, as we were doing since I was born till when I become adult.
