What I loved most about Zywny was that he listened to me talk, shared my secrets, and most importantly shared my ideas for my own compositions.
Zywny spent all his free time teaching me, and soon became a member of the family, staying for dinner and being included in our holidays, and birthday celebrations.
Zywny's love for me and my music, that my love for music grew and grew.
