Carola Grindea


Carola, a very special teacher in my musical life, had passed away 3 weeks ago at 95. Felt very comforted at least I was able to make it to her place just before I leave london, and gave her this single white Cerbrea :)

Carola once joked, "Hohoho, Beethoven had a cold." Afterwhich she laughed like a little child... cute Carola ;p Was happily surprised this little statue is still lying around... :)

Everything in Carola's flat remains just the same... had very fond memories of her little full-of-wonders-and-treasu​res kitchen :)

Nadia, Carola's daughter, also a marvellous piano teacher... and I absolutely love her bright oriental vest ;)

My favourite corner of her flat...

Everything in the flat is a memory... i hence proposed to Nadia to leave everything as they are, as a little museum for Carola's grandchildren n great grands; also for the many hundred's of musicians Carola had helped...

The poster that sticked behind her door... the wordings on the poster... they are Carola's expertise :)
