Who or what inspired you to pursue a career in music? I don’t really remember how exactly it started, as music has been with me

It’s important to choose pieces that you love. I try to put pieces together that contrast in emotion and get different responses from the audience.

For me the greatest advantage of being a musician is the freedom to do what I want and what interests me. So I would say the definition of success would be the ability to choose to do things that I love, to play pieces I love with people or orchestras I enjoy working and playing with.

I do not have any definite repertoire strategy. In my case I compose or arrange new pieces and as soon as I think they are mature for the stage, I add them to my program and try them out in live performances.
