There are people who change our lives forever once we meet them.
One of these people has been Alecu Leseanu, an extremely gifted musician and teacher with whom I have had the chance to study! We, all of his violin and viola pupils, have learnt so much from him, from his experience and analysis, and from his way of supporting us no matter what. In spite of all challenges we have each encountered our way, he has never ceased to look for ways to help and inspire us!
A few days ago he passed away...but I still feel his presence.
'Play that passage once again!', 'Notice how it sounds!'
I can hear his calm and persistent words even now... To me, he has made a huge difference in my musical evolution, just like he has done to my friends and colleagues.
Words cannot describe our huge appreciation and gratitude for him! We will pass his musical legacy onwards through his teachings and stories.
I do not even know how to end this post. Sad words are too common for such a wonderful soul that he is! I am sure we all have at least one such person, who has greatly inspired and made us into what we are today. Let's honour these people!
Our dear teacher, we send you our love and gratitude for everything you have done for us!
Please continue guiding us from where you are!
