My father found that in a junkyard, and was able to repair it and make it work. And somehow -- to this day, I frankly don't know how he was so aware of what was going on in the world -- but, by inviting me to sit down with him when I was only a few years old, and playing records in this Victrola by Mozart, and he would tell me how Mozart was the most romantic of all the classic composers ever, and how Claire de Lune, which was one of his favorites, was a real exposure to me to classical music.
Meu pai a encontrou em uma ferro-velho e ele consegui consertá-la e faze-la funcionar. E, de alguma forma, até hoje, não sei como ele estava ciente do que acontecia no mundo, mas, me convidando a sentar com ele quando eu era pequeno e tocando discos de Mozart na vitrola, e ele me dizia como Mozart era o mais românticos dos compositores clássicos, e como Claire de Lune, que era uma de suas favoritas, era uma exposição real da música clássica para mim.
