“In my childhood everybody talked to me: “You’ll become a famous composer!”. Even my acquaintance geezers in the village, where I was usually spending my summer holidays! And I couldn’t understand – why had they decided so? I wasn’t writing anything; when in the musical school teachers all the same were making us do that, I created the same nonsense as other pupils…
However…I started composing the music (except several jazz fragments) rather lately, in the age of 16-17, but I DID IT – it’s the people’s wisdom! From where could they know it? Or every second musical school pupil becomes a composer??
And, by the way, why my second uncle – simple village drunkard – for all his life had a nickname “COMPOSER”???” (A. Bukanov)
