Christmas Eve Is Here At Last 
Part 2 - Christmas Music And Carols 



The captivating music of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed for the ballet The Nutcracker, cheerful and lyrical Christmas carols and songs, surround us during festive Christmas time.

Music is not just a beautiful and harmonious union of notes flowing into an enchanting melody, it is the voice of the composer's soul speaking to us through musical sound.

In my childhood, I was truly fortunate to study the art of playing the violin, the piano and sang as the lead soloist in the all city children's choir and then the youth choir. 

My music studies were serious and of much delight to me. Specialists of the vocal department predicted a career of a singer for me, but by pure chance, a meeting with a respected professional fine artist, who in moments discovered my talent for painting, calling it rare, unexpectedly changed my life forever and the devotion to fine art, which dwelled deep in me, emerged.  

In my fine art creations, music has been and shall always remain a source of unending inspiration.

My love for music is felt in every brushstroke, every line, and union of colors in my creative paintings.

In my magical painting, Christmas Eve Is Here At Last, the creation of which was inspired by the fairy tale of E.T.A. Hoffmann and the music of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, for the ballet The Nutcracker, with much love and attention I painted the musicians- the violinist, the flutist (flute --player), and the vocalist.

This trio is simply charming and so dear to me. With great care, I painted the musical instruments, thus expressing my deepest respect and admiration of musicians who devote their entire lives to serving music. 

On the book pages of sheet music, resting by the foot of the chair, with the finest of brushes, in watercolor, carefully painted by my artist's hand, are microscopic notes of a true musical composition.
