I'd hate to sound I 'discovered', but rather I 'unearthed'.

I'd say that it was my grandfather, when I was younger. He's an artist and he's always said that 'artists are creative people, full stop. They are attracted to creativity.' to which end he liked classical music and operas and ballets.

We went to see 'Swan Lake', probably somewhere in Birmingham, when I was around 6 or 7, and so that was more than likely the start.

With Wikipedia and the wonders of YouTube I discovered some lovely music. Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin, Paganini etc.

I can't play it. I don't know the technical details, but I like it from an emotional connection.
