YEREVAN
YEREVAN, AUGUST 1, ARMENPRESS: They say that there is not more amazing
thing than follow the changes of people's dreams and predilections. Of
course, it refers to childhood dreams and as a rule professional
education which is not connected with them. A few people know that
such "destiny" had pianist, composer, honorable citizen of Yerevan and
simply talented person Martin Vardazaryan who tried to become sailor
than boxer and in a result it turned it rather different thing. He
talked about his childhood dreams and nowadays present with Armenpress.
- Mr. Vardazaryan, what made you to chose the way which is your life
companion till today?
People become musicians not in their will - the will of parents has
a great role. If the parents of Paganini and Bethoven were not so
consistent they would not become the ones what they became. But there
is an important circumstance: the child should have if not talent but
capability. It turned so that I was born in a family of musicians and
had an important role. My father was a bugler. He graduated from State
Conservatory of Moscow. One day I began to play piano by two fingers
and my father thought that I would become a pianist. He did not saw my
way of becoming musician because he died from car accident. At that
time I understood that most important people for me besides parents
are teachers.
- Can you remember when your first acquaintance with music was?
Music world is a sphere which is like drug and very wonderful. When
for the first time I heard the adagio of fifth symphony of Maler
and cried. During the final of sixth symphony there was a feeling
of cleaning and now every time I have the same feeling. Then I heard
Shostakovich and Prokofev, Aram Khachatryan.
I like speaking about music and if there is not an interlocutor from
whom I can learn something I talk to myself and make interesting
conclusions.
- How would you describe Yerevan Jazz atmosphere?
In Armenia jazz has always been allowed. We have performers of high
quality, very talented jazzmen but I am a little afraid. The attitude
of society became consumer towards jazz in result of which the group of
real estimators has increased. But the group of lovers has increased.
