A purely recitative style was not to my liking and not to my character. I am drawn to singing, cantilena, and not to recitative, although, according to reviews from knowledgeable people, I am quite good at the latter. In addition, I am drawn to forms that are more complete, more round, wider... In my opinion, in opera, as in scenery, small forms, details, trifles should not have a place; everything should be written in large strokes, clear, bright and, if possible, practical in performance, both voice and orchestral. The voices should be in the foreground, the orchestra in the background.
Quote Explanation: This is how composer Alexander Borodin wrote to singer Lyubov Karmalina about the idea of the opera “Prince Igor” in 1876.

If fate has doomed you to a difficult life, do not despair. Accept this as a challenge and humbly face the difficulties, feeling within yourself additional, hidden strengths that should be revealed and used for your needs. Yes, the world can be cruel and not always fair, but demonstrate unshakable fortitude and overcome all difficulties along the way. It may not be an easy path, but this is how we mature and achieve true success. Don't forget that good results require effort and work. Let the difficulties that arise along the way become our teachers and help us better understand the essence of life. Through them we grow and become stronger. It is these difficulties that will open up incomprehensible opportunities and new horizons for us in life. Not everyone has an easy way to become wealthy and live in abundance. However, don’t give up and don’t rely on chance. Take your life into your own hands and prove to yourself, or you can prove to other people, that even in the face of a difficult fate, you are capable of becoming a worthy and persistent person on Earth. But perhaps other people will not care about this, except yourself, not counting your family.

- I'm not like you. It doesn't matter how long it takes, but as long as I have at least some opportunity, I won't give up. I will create the path to the future with my own hands, and in order to do this, I must believe in even the slightest possibility.

April. The word comes from the Latin aperile, which means to open, to open. The buds on the trees are opening, new dreams, hopes, and opportunities are opening for someone. Hearts open after hibernation. A beautiful month. Fragile. I love him very much.

- What is magic to me in comparison with you? What is eternity versus the opportunity to live life with your loved ones? It's not even an equal exchange. If it turns out this way, then I will owe fate much more than I give.

You came into this world as a human being, and if you do not feel your unity with the universe, that is, do not use the priceless opportunity inherent in this moment, your human life will be wasted. Simply eating, sleeping, reproducing, and dying does not require the sophisticated body, mind, and consciousness that you are now endowed with. Not exploring this amazing gift is monstrous stupidity.

Feeling alienated creates anxiety; it is the source of all anxiety. To be alienated means to have no opportunity to use one's human powers. To be separate from everyone means to be helpless, unable to actively contact the world - objects and people; this means that the world can crush me, deprived of the ability to resist. Thus, alienation generates acute anxiety.

Although economic growth, by increasing the wealth of the country as a whole, expands its capabilities in solving social problems, it is not always accompanied by corresponding progress in the field of human development, but rather, on the contrary, is carried out with increasing economic inequality, infringement of democracy, and destruction of the environment.
