My Uncle Lyova, my father's brother, a pianist. He died at 32 years of age.
My father began to play the violin when he was about 5 yeas old. He played at cinema-theaters. He began to work when he was 11. He worked so for quite a long time. He supported his sisters until they got married. Then his older brother Lyova, the pianist, got employed. Lyova played at the "Continental", an expensive restaurant, where he was given good tips.
