In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Since my early childhood I have loved classical music, and I couldn’t get enough of the Beethoven and Mozart records. Soon a piano also entered the house, and these 88 keys became the centre of my life and my great love. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why?
