Hummel studied with Mozart. Especially‚ the first movement of Quintet‚ OP.87 sounded like tango to me and it started with the violin by Alyze Dreiling‚ then‚ the piano sounded to make harmony.

I have played piano and violin since I can remember. It could be that I have a bad memory‚ that I didn’t do anything until I was in second grade‚ or that making music was not something I wanted to do and couldn’t.
