the doubts voice trial. this is fine. he who does it wasn't that i didn't play well enough to be able to do certain things for sure, but that others would tell me it's simply was out possible. man, no matter how well it was played, issued more how well it sounded to think they said it simply wouldn't work of a get taught to mission, but fail exclusive, prove them wrong with the instrument on the stand. he operates the valves with his toes, fingers don't matter. the art of playing the whole is mostly down to the lips. that's with man's when his mom was as a horn player who so you have to purse your literacy and blow air out like this summer. and i look at when am i change the attention of your lesson? that different tones come, who knows? all she'll exclusive plays a double french horn with 2 basic tunes. the airflow and pitch are varied with a number of valves. o d d like the most

trouble building up stamina that really has nothing to do with the valves at all. it's not even in the slightest puts, i never had any issues with the movements you need hands for out of that was the one thing i never had to practice. it just worked altogether. which doesn't mean that the path to becoming a professional musician was easy for him. he had to invest a lot of effort and discipline. you can go, even as a teenager, felix pleases studied the horn in hon. ofa. he played in germany's most important youth orchestra and won his 1st music competitions for a day doesn't go by without him rehearsing norful. it was for severely being fascinated by something doesn't get joanne lack of amongst. you have to be willing to invest yourselves when was to you? that's very important to me. funds on misty. oh, she has since one university century federal law lives for his 6th. he recorded

music by mozart and titan with a chick timmins key quartet. ah, he plays concerts all over the world in large and small and samples like here in the southern german town of feeling and training in his trio includes croatian pianist, martina fil jack, and ukrainian violinist andre below. yet despite all his success, it's ultimately always about the music to feed exclusive thinking. so do you think it's bored on the audience loaded? when i give a concert, even i want the people in the audience to be happy to look into it. people are enjoying that and everything is great or to town. if people are sad, but then it's not great. that's why oh my concerts are enjoyable for the audience than i'm happy as well to be able to feed as a touring musician. however, he doesn't have much time for other things. most of the time, felix, please,

or he's on the road, but he said price, he's willing to pay for his dream. that the shore months, sometimes it's exhausting like that. on the other hand, going on stage, making music that makes people happy to mark being able to earn a living with music. it's a huge, prevalent johnson school and i try to always bear that in mind of was mom into with this awareness, it is certainly easier to practice every day year round. ah simply, unbelievable. sch. okay. we are headed now to one of europe's smallest countries, luxembourg. it's a melting pot of cultures with no less than 3 languages spoken there. and those who visit the capital also called luxembourg, can do so without a car nuts because all the main sites can be reached on foot. so we put on our

walking shoes and asked the locals about their favorite places. luxembourg, the capital of the grand duchy of the same name, was built as a fortified city on 2 levels. here, history meets the present and the city of some 130000 people has a lot to offer its visitors will leaving it up to chance by simply asking some random locals about their favorite places. the bigger that other is 3rd lived in a unique thing about the cathedral. is it the sides? the huge window is that there are 2 organs, alma that can be played from the same spotwood months, but i know that it doesn't matter which you're sitting out. you can play either over with the not your dom cathedral is a landmark in a city center. you enter through a magnificent main portal. the light gothic building was constructed in the early

17th century. it has 2 organs, but figuring out exactly where they can be paid from is a bit tricky at the moment because one is being renovated. but what would be another must see in the vicinity of the cathedral recommend. we would recommend that he shot that house of lockers in them because they have to initiate suites. don't you agree? just opposite the grand ducal palace. we find the chocolate house. it's known beyond luxembourg borders. fred sweet creations in french and belgian chocolate. and it's tasty cakes. for ona natalie bon opening, the store in 2008. was a sweet dream come true. chalabi finished to marie chocolate. his joy. she had joy combined with endorphins. nixa more. yeah, we have

a selection. 60 different kinds of hot chocolate ice cream shop. were loudon and summons ethan shook adipose via than me findin, sitting together tasting. and cheryl shocked with friends at the shop. it was all about to luck. natalie bon has even baked. her grand duke. only just a modest little cake for he 60th birthday. a small neighborly gesture, so to speak. and while enjoying a cup of hot chocolate patrons can watch the changing of the guard in front of the palace across the street. and with a bit of luck that they might even catch a glimpse of the grand duke himself. so where to next money, let's get back here. i got and i think the skate park is a great place for everyone to visit. you can see people doing all kinds of cool tricks. on b, m x bikes, scooters and skateboards game. everyone should stop by there on friday.

i see. the modern skate park lies right in the middle of the cities, pathos valley. it's especially busy during the day at a great spot for a family outing. and possibly you'll be watching some of tomorrow's prose trying to land a cake flip. our next tip pulls us right back into the old town with luxembourg. what's really present is that you have many killed sher inside, and the, i think museum is too good expression of the melting of the culture nixon. you because you have so many exposition coming form. so the foreign countries how you can go over and see the architecture of the building is fantastic. and the exposition, of course, it's changing day by day madame a short handful music dom or down. it's only a 10 minute ride from the city center on the tram. and in luxembourg, public transport is free for everyone. the museum stands on the cash bed plateau in

the northeast of town and was opened in 2006. it was designed by architect i am pe and house is the largest collection of contemporary art in luxembourg. in addition, there are always temporary exhibitions, by international artists, with everything from installations to painting. it's time for our last stop. let's get credit on it. but heading from the semi shell church along the elevated cornish path to the 9 months to abbey, as a beautiful walk for good from up there you have a nice view of luxembourg, already told the shamore de la cornish has in called the most beautiful balcony in europe, it runs right along the edge of the 17th century ramparts. from here we get a sensational view of luxembourg and the cones quarter with all its historical houses.

and for anyone who likes exploring a city from a different perspective, this part of town is definitely not to be missed. food lovers know that if you want to had some flare to your fish, a pastor or chicken, then all you have to do is put in a few capers. but have you ever wondered what capers actually are? will technically they are neither fruit nor vegetable, but flower buds. and it said that the best ones grow in italy. now we went there to have a look around and find out for ourselves what goes in to harvesting this tank. little treat the cape of shrub. it's birds and fruits are quintessential in the cuisine of southern europe. ready the italian mediterranean island of pontoon lydia south of sicily is considered the island of capers. harvesting begins before sunrise during the season from may to august. this is

a half kilograms of capers per hour. within 8 days, the plants develop new buds and can be harvested again. the been normal in g o production not only processes its own harvest, but also those of caper farms near by. the capers are pickled in salt, full preservation. this draws the moisture out of the buds and creates o'brien. 6 the capillary mind, the keepers remain in the salt for about 20 to 25 days on your during the process. we have to monitor them and add salt when needed a month for free, gentle after this, the case was al salt into a rotating drum with holes of different sizes. direct the capers into contains once salted. they are further processed into various delicatessen products, lustoria nearby copper, the capers, and i know it's

a love story and carlow committee, and then he got up with the casa acosta. then that was to follow the island and our farm land dog d r. a wonderful source of products that you, she drank, and in your be colo, i see it as my duty a call to continue developing what the island gives of the market. but if you do another one of gabriella saudis passions is creating new, catering spied culinary tweets. it's not just the butts that are edible, but the leaves to, to day he's trying out pico young shoots in his test kitchen mama, it's nice and crunchy. a thing on the one, it has a good consistency duty. it tastes a bit like asparagus. been a very nice product to them. i like it a lot. read roman. i could imagine this on the pizza. 43. i live at the fine
