- I have long wanted to take part in an international competition in order to assess my professional abilities”, Aylara Annamuradova says. - And now, thanks to cello teacher Kakageldi Hojalekov, my dream has come true. An excerpt from the concert by Shostakovich is only 7 minutes long, but playing even one piece requires long hours of rehearsals.
According to Aylara, the cello is one of the most complex instruments, and the point is not in size, but in the performance technique. Entering a special music school, Aylara dreamed of a violin, but the future teacher by profession Jemal Muhamedova noticed a certain different talent in the girl.
- “You can do more”, the teacher told me. And I, trusting her instinct, began to study at the cello class. At the start, it was very difficult for me, and I could not get used to the instrument and feel its depth. And then, with the help of rehearsals, practicing finger and bow techniques, everything came by itself. As a result, my first teacher Jemal Mukamedova gave me a good knowledge base, which I developed in the subsequent years.
No symphony orchestra is possible without a cello, https://orient.tm/dialogi-o-violoncheli/. So a student of the Turkmen National Conservatory has been for several years combining her study with practice at the State Symphony Orchestra conducted by Rasul Klychev.
