    Gradually, he eased me back until my head rested on the pillows. He stroked my hair from my face, his gaze meeting mine with hot tenderness. He bent forward and captured my lips again, his tongue tracing their outline with maddening gentleness. His hand found its way back to my breast but this time he slipped his fingers under the neckline of my dress and beneath the silky fabric of my bra. It was like an electric shock when he grasped my nipple between his thumb and forefinger and tweaked it. My hips reared off the bed and a moan scraped from my throat. Oh, God, I could feel the...

    Oh...my...God.Once I arrived at that face, I could go no further. She had a graceful neck that blossomed into such a face. It would take an entire library of books and the combined languages of every tribe on Earth to describe. "You...you look human? I...I mean...I guess I was...expecting...I don't...I don't know...a cat?""Are you pleased?" She dropped her eyes, then looked back up, titling her head, still smiling flirtatiously.She was a goddess...."You already know the answer to that...but... I'm confused, too? I mean...you were a male cat...weren't you?"She giggles...and now it sounds like a human giggle, but still with a trace of Andrew around the edges. She begins caressing my cheeks with her thumb and forefinger, my chin in the soft palm of her left hand."You and I were meant to be, old friend, I knew that from the moment I first looked in your eyes. And then, when you named me 'Andrew', now that was of-the-chain awesome. When my real name is Andrea? Who else would have seen that but you? Even I did not see that one coming. The ancient rhythms of Mother Time are never wrong. And the year we spent apart..." "Year! Try nine years!" I couldn't help it. A tear leaked out before I could stop it. "I missed you...so much.

Following the successful event, she is engaged as a guest professor of the University. ___________________________________________________________ THE STORY of this CD The 24 Caprices of Paganini are considered as the summit of the art of violin playing, in the same way, the 24 Etudes of Chopin are considered as the acme of piano performance. In April 2006, whilst giving a master class in Switzerland, the eminent violin professor Yaoji Lin discovered Mélodie Zhao, then aged 11. Impressed by her marvellous execution on the piano, he affirmed, "Whether in terms of ability or musicality, Mélodie is absolutely a remarkable talent." At the same time, he handed a gift to her: a CD of Paganini's 24 Caprices recorded by one of his students, Tianwa Yang, when she was 13. He encouraged Mélodie to record Chopin's 24 Etudes also at the age of 13, convinced that she would be capable of realizing such a project, unique for anyone so young. Tianwa Yang's CD was an inspiration for Mélodie as proof that the art of music and the zenith of interpretation are not only for adults, but can also be mastered by teenagers who pursue the ideal of musical perfection. During 2006, Mélodie somewhat extended her repertoire with baroque, classic, romantic, impressionist and contemporary works. In parallel, guided by her violin teacher father, Mélodie added to her muscular training regime with The Pianist Virtuoso in 60 Exercises by Hanon, amongst others. This led to a rapid progress in her technical capacity and laid a solid foundation for her to master the 24 Etudes relatively quickly. In January 2007, Mélodie started to work systematically on the 12 Etudes op.10 of Chopin, in addition to and without hindering her normal studies at the Geneva Conservatory. By the end of June, she had already mastered the 12 etudes. In July, she attended a thorough master class on op.10 with Jean-Jacques Balet. Mid-August 2007, at 12 years old, Mélodie Zhao included the 12 Etudes op.10 in her recital program in the Festival Les Sommets du Classique in Crans-Montana, Switzerland, and played them again in her Easter recital the following year. Starting in February 2008, Mélodie began to work on op.25 under the instruction of Pascal Devoyon. By May, she was proficient in all 12 etudes. During these months, Prof. Devoyon provided many very detailed and enlivening lessons on each of the 24 Etudes, which allowed Melodie to make radical and substantial further progress in technique as well as in musicality. On the 29th June 2008, she gave a recital of Chopin's 24 Etudes in the Kammersaal at the Berlin University of Arts, organized by Prof. Devoyon. The recording of this CD, realized by award-winning sound engineer Jean-Claude Gaberel, has taken 18 hours over 3 days, from the 22nd to the 24th July 2008, at the Studio Tibor Varga in the Valais, Switzerland. The commentary in the booklet is written in French by Mélodie Zhao herself. It is an exercise based on her profound study of the two opus. She combines her personal experiences with her own point of view on the Chopin etudes, whilst recording concisely their musical essence and the main technical problems posed in these works. Chopin's 24 Etudes performed and analysed by a 13-year-old - this is by it's very nature significant. "It is not my intention to create a miracle" Mélodie Zhao said. "I would simply like to show how these studies can be played and put into words by a teenager." One has to say that she has succeeded. Ying Wu (N.B. The writer is pianist, professor and the Dean of Piano Faculty of the Central Conservatory of Music of China) Translated from Chinese by Howe Yin Zhao Proofread by Christopher Watts ___________________________________________________________________ EXTRACT of the COMMENTARY on the Etudes by Mélodie Zhao Frederick Chopin - 24 Etudes Chopin composed his two series of etudes op.10 and op.25 between 1829 and 1836, during his first prolific creative period. Every one of these 24 etudes deals with one or several technical difficulties, but it is widely recognised that Chopin's etudes not only include a large range of pianistic virtuosity, but they are all endowed with a poetry, natural, delicate and lyrical at the same time. Etudes op.10 Nr. 1, C Major (Allegro) Autumn 1830 This majestic opening piece aims to stretch the right hand in a relaxed fashion with large broken chords covering the whole keyboard. The left hand supports and completes the harmonies of the right hand with long octaves built of a chorus harmony. According to Chopin, the only way to achieve a good execution of this etude is through slow and sustained exercises of the arpeggio. However, one must bear in mind that slow exercise is merely for practice, while the aim is to achieve a clear and fast technique with a perfectly flowing musical result. Attention should be paid to the rapid positioning of the fingers preparing the connection of each note, and to the ascending and descending movements of the arpeggios which should create the impression, to both the pianist and the listener, of "rising and falling". Nr. 2, A minor (Allegro) 1830 Also called "Chromatic" and considered by many pianists as the most difficult one of all Chopin's etudes, it aims to strengthen the three weak fingers (3-4-5) of the right hand through sempre legato and overlapping scales as well as ascending and descending chromatic phrasings, which run across the whole keyboard without using the thumb and the forefinger. The difficulty here is to play all the notes in a light, equal fashion and in particular with an even tempo. But, being careful, for the hands must stay relaxed during the exercise, and one should not work on it for too long each day or injury can be the result! Nr. 9, F minor (Allegro molto agitato) 1829 One day my professor, Pascal Devoyon, told me a story which could well have inspired Chopin when he created this piece : "A couple had to swim across a strait in the darkness in a terrifying storm, in fear of being engulfed. In the fight against the waves, the wind and the lightning, the young man disappeared in the act of saving his beloved." Thus the short undulations of the left hand, working at full stretch, depict the rough sea caused by the wind and the storm, the 'breathless' syncopations and the violent dynamic contrasts of the right hand convey the breath
