It was clear from the first day my daughter saw a piano, music was in her heritage. The book that will follow chronicles the music history that was soon to emerge. This first page of what will become a multi-book reference includes quotes about her musical heritage, the words (in Cyrillic) and notation of a favorite childhood song, and a scanned image of a bayan player -- similar to what her birth family may have looked like.
The text in English states:
"Nina's Russian grandmother then told me, in reply to my questions about musical ability, that she was not surprised at Nina's talent. Nina's maternal great-grandfather was a professional musician: a pianist, flautist and played at one time in an orchestra. Additionally, Nina's birthfather was at one time an accomplised bayan (like an accordion) player."
