An afternoon rehearsal that day was scheduled where he was introduced to the world renowned violinist. It was not lost on him that he was two years older than Natasha but in differences of musicianship she was miles ahead of him.

That afternoon, Jaak had naturally first read the music which Ms Starikovich had composed before playing it with Natasha. His own musical skills were sufficiently comprehending to understand that her composition was without a doubt a masterpiece, equivalent in excellence to the violin sonatas composed by the recognized great composers of all time. In particular, her sonata was a natural successor to both Enescu's sonata which she had recorded in her successful first CD but also it was a true evolution of her first composed piece of music which had been included in that first CD.

Jaak Reinsalu had no doubt that this piece of music composed by Natasha Starikovich would endure as one of the most significant compositions of the current century and would rival in excellence to all other violin music composed in the past.

Coupled that with the fact that he simultaneously was lucky enough to muff dive the Minister of Culture of Estonia was by definition the apex of joy beyond anything he could ever imagine or fantasize.

In his mind the actual heaven could not possibly afford the same pleasure than what he enjoyed during this day, a true authentic heaven on earth.
