Arkady Shilkloper gives concerts and master-classes around the world ( approx. 100 a year) in: Russia, Europe, USA, Canada, Japan, Panama, China, Korea and Australia. A few years back, Arkady performed in Nõmme sports centre which I also attended with my family and since then, I have been completely enraptured by his music and skills.

You have now decided to spend your entire life studying the pharmacology of dirt!"

I have beaten the trail, others will follow in my footsteps. 3 First of all: to feel, to feel profoundly and enraptured and only after that to render.4 It is easy to compose intricately and ponderously. But let us try to do it as simply as possible: only then will one see how difficult and how right it is.5 EDUARD OJA It is a matter of fact that for creative work an intense psychic experience is necessary. Purely theoretical compositions leave the listener frigid and will never become popular.6
