Revised #introduction to reflect the state of my languages. 😋
I'm an amateur classical #pianist. Started learning properly at 34 and still going strong. Love Frédéric #Chopin. Admire Arthur #Rubinstein and Emil #Gilels, and am trying to model my playing on them (arrogant, I know 😅).
I love #cats and am enslaved to two of them. Love #sea, #sailing ships & books about sea adventures. #NaNoWriMo & fountain pens enthusiast.
I speak #Russian, #English, some #Romanian, and now study #Italian.
Somebody is trying to download Chopin's Premier Concerto performed by Emil Gilels and The Philadelphia Orchestra off of me.
Alas, the upload speed is low and the connection often breaks, and I've been searching internet for some time now about how to improve torrent upload speed. I want this unknown person to be able to hear this excellent performance so much!
And no, I'm not ashamed. #Gilels is a treasure that belongs to the humanity. And so is #Chopin.
