Mayra, I bought your book "The Magic Violin" for my daughter for Christmas. She's 8 too, like the protagonist, but not as advanced as the protagonist, who is playing Largo from Winter (that's what *I'm* playing!)

Dear Karen,

Thanks for buying my book! I hope your daughter will like it. How long has your daughter been playing? In the book the little girl has been playing for 4 years. I tried to learn the piece last year, found it too hard so I stopped, then took it again this fall. I found it a lot easier this time after all the Sevcik and Seybold studies.
