Intervista - ANASTASIYA PETRYSHAK

You're perfect, you're beautiful. Don't worry, I'm going up with my face. When you want, as always, you can leave. It's beautiful, yes. We know you since you were 18. You have an international reputation. You are one of the most acclaimed musicians of your generation. You are very young. I'm not 18, but let's say that success is hard to come by. Talent is not enough. As someone once said, talent is only 1%. 99% is not enough. You started when you were 8. You were a little boy. But, as you said, you had a family that supported you. My mother supported me, she supported me in all my choices, she followed me in my transfer to let me study in one of the best countries in the world, where many people came to get a job. It was my parents who made these difficult, brave choices that gave me the opportunity to study at the best universities, such as Carta, Laura Borga, and many others. How old are you? 10 years old. I'm a little girl. You have played with more than 20 singers. In your experience, what do you feel when you play in front of the audience? I have played with Guarneri. He also played with Guarneri. But I have played with Guarneri for 40 years. It is an instrument that had many seeds. The thumb here, for example, or the nail that had gone away because it was holding the hand in a certain way. In addition to these things, there are many seeds because we can hear the sound of this instrument. In my opinion, it is the sound of Paganini. It is a sound that he searched for years, hours and hours every day. It allowed me to get in touch with this magical instrument that contained the emotions and thoughts of this great artist. He is an exceptional person. I grew up with him. I started playing with him when I was 15 years old. I am 12 years old. I have had concerts in different countries. I have studied a lot. I listen to different orchestras, different mentalities, cultures. So there are very important emotions. The last question. People talk a lot about work. Do you have a job? My bingo, which is now a little higher than the violin, is 17 months old, just today. It has already accompanied me in many countries. We have been in Mexico for a week. We have been in Egypt, in Tunisia. It is a bingo that has already reached 18 countries. I really like the music of Nanuma. The song I played today is his favorite. When I study it, it is an incredible joy. When I eat, I look at the finger where this song is played. Because I like it more. I always try to look at it when I can't. Today, for example, I come back to Sicily. In fact, I stay overnight. I try to match both things.
