... It was very special  summertime for me... in Santiago de Compostela, august 1991... I  was going to participate in the summer course for Spanish music in the harp class of Nicanor Zabaleta! My dream became true unexpectedly after seven years!!! "The Maestro" was then 86 years old but still very active. We received very interesting lessons coloured by his huge experience and exciting stories! At the end of the course Maestro Zabaleta gave a remarkable solo recital - " the... HAPPENING " of the summer course... He was perfect as always!!!

	Nicanor Zabaleta taught us that when we started to study a new piece, we had to study very slowly but precisely and later on to speed the tempo as much as possible...
