Thanks for making this stamp! I hope you don't mind me using it.
:iconjymsfr:
On the contrary! I'm very glad. Thank you. :-)
If you like Shostakovich, I found recently some great videos about him, where we can see him during rehearsals of his opera "The Nose" and hear him talking to his son Maxim:

Lucky you! Which instrument do you play, violin, viola or cello?
This is such a great, impressive, moving work. Do you know he composed it in only 3 days? That's amazing.
Thank you for using this stamp. I'm so glad. :-)

Three days? Wow, I didn't know that. I knew the dedication, who it was written for, but not that. That's pretty amazing, thanks. :)

I play violin. Second violin, to be exact. I've played the first part through, but our first violin does it so much better. She's quite the strong leader, has a lot of enthusiasm and intensity. We're both kinda intense and wild (when fitting, of course), but our violist and cellist are a lot more laid back. So this piece was a good way to crank them up a notch. :P
