Born and raised in Leningrad. My parents told me at the age of two and a half years, I approached a small piano which was in the house, and became one finger the melodies of the piece I had heard my sister practicing. After that, the parents immediately started me on piano lessons. After turning six years old, was taken to a music school. To the disappointment of parents, all of the piano were taken and remained the only violin. So I became the beginning of the violin.
