Why and since when do you play the violin/viola?
I started playing the violin in 2005 and then changed to viola in 2013 with playing quartets and making music in the Federal Youth Orchestra.
What fascinates you most about music and why?
The diversity. You cannot live without music because music is everywhere and it is indispensable.
Which composer excites you the most and why?
Dimitri Shostakovich. He used his music as a political tool against the regime.
What are your future plans?
A big dream of mine would be to become part of a very good orchestra after studying music. Dream orchestras would be the Berlin Philharmonic, BRSO, HR, State Orchestra Munich, Vienna Philharmonic and the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
How did you start at the Quartetto Paganino?
Peter Weilacher knew me from Jugend Musiziert and asked me to participate.
Why do you think the quartet is one of the most sophisticated music formations?
As everyone has to take over the solo part and exact timing is necessary.
How do you all master this challenge together?
Through many rehearsals and precise practice.
Which piece from your previously learned repertoire do you like best, and why?
Shostakovich Quartet No. 8. A piece with a very dramatic ulterior motive which requires an incredible concentration.
How do you imagine the future of QP?
That we continue to grow in our tasks and together as a group and that we can experience many wonderful adventures together.
