Could it get any deeper under the skin? - Danijela Jagatić
If it could speak, it would surely have a lot to say. Of the immense love with which it has been touched by the hands of women from my family for more than a century, who made up with it a unique and complete composition. This legacy could not have evaded me. However, since our first meeting, it has been provoking me as if I am no match for it. I indeed am not. And I could not approach it. And I did not want to approach it. I used to go in those winters to a foreign town to learn about it and about its capabilities, so as to get to know it as well as I can, and to embrace it as it deserves. As large and as full of wisdom of bygone times, it now deserves a special place in the heart of my home whenever each of its beats is mentioned. And now that it has its ambience function, it speaks without words, while new stories, accompanied by a familiar tune, are now told by its younger sibling.
