  Nicolas Poussin(1594 - 1665) was undoubtedly a highly significant master of the historical genre. He shaped its aesthetics which, regrettably, subsequently became regarded as a set of hard-and-fast rules (a trap which the Russian followers of the founder of classicism also fell into). We know that Poussin attributed prime significance to the actual choice of matter for depiction, giving preference to subjects which provided food for profound thought. Creatively reworking the aesthetic legacy of the Ancients, he introduced into the realm of painting the concept of the "modus" (mood of depiction), which established the functional unity of three components: the idea, the structure of the depiction, and its perception by the viewer. Composition assumed a predominant significance in his artistic system. In a letter of 1665, Nicolas Poussin put forward three main theses: firstly, painting is simply imitation; secondly, it aims to bring delight; Thirdly, the artist is endowed with a natural talent that no one can give him or deprive him of.

  A smart schoolmate invited each of our final class members to write about themselves. Using some short essays I enjoyed writing, I had gathered some material for such a booklet. Further sources are my music for flute and piano I have recorded together with pianist Thomas Turner, my completing of the flute sonata BWV 1032 of J.S. Bach, and fantasies about Plato, Mozart and Kafka. 
  The description of professional growth, and the music playing which I have practiced with endurance during my entire life can motivate and benefit a broader audience.
