How does one decide to become a professional player? “As a pro, one’s path is relatively narrow”, she said. “One must be objective in his judgment, along with an understanding of the big picture, trying not to make premature decisions”. |

As Ambra flees Ombrone, Lorenzo de’ Medici says in his poem Ambra, stanza 41, her limbs changed (“mutar le membra”) and, as she turned to stone, she appeared as a “sketched figure unfinished in hard stone” (“come suol figura / bozzata e non finita in pietra dura”).

Separazione Ti lascio una palpebra, un dente, uno squillo e del nuovo sole un magnifico portamento un vanto, qualche buona ragione per lasciarteli, la porta sotto la quale tutta questa roba infilo e la porta accanto. Sento la certezza che tornerai. Con la matita grossa rossa e blu, il tuo nome tracciato, lascerò, e acqua in una bottiglietta perché tu beva e viva. Ma, benefattrice del tuo viso, entri da dietro sicché non ti vedo. Spazi di profondo secondo silenzio ci attendono. Ho le stigmate della solitudine e della guerra addosso. Terra scura di una stagione, fecondi, con le mani muoviamo come latte in un secchio, lembi di cielo. E sempre solo una sedia sola c’è sulla collina che sta per venirci addosso. Ora luna senza famiglia piange sulle scale di casa, ha una ferita cresciuta che ti assomiglia; è quel pino tuo padre, colui che ti conosceva fin dagli inizi, rosso e lontano. Separation I leave you an eyelid, a tooth, a blare a magnificent poise a pride of the new sun, some good reason to leave you them, the door under which I tuck all this stuff and next door. I feel the certainty that you will return. With the big red and blue pencil, I will leave your name traced, and water in a litte bottle for you to drink and live. But you, benefactress of your visage, you come in from behind, so I can’t see you. Spaces of deep second silence are await us. I am wearing the stigmata of solitude and war. You make dark earth of one season fruitful, with our hands we stir strips of sky, like milk in a bucket. And there is always only a lone chair on the hill which is about to fall on us. Familyless moon now weeps on the stairs of home, it has grown a tear that looks like you; it is that pine tree your father, the one who knew you right from the beginning, red and far away.
