Viktor, this is a bit out of the blue, but has anyone ever told you that you have the perfect hands for playing piano? If not, allow me to.

I have, eh, experimented with pianos before, playing whenever I come upon one, though they have not been plentiful in my past. I do play the fiddle, however, and enjoy this immensely. I have been kindly told I have a natural proclivity for stringed instruments. I do take to them quickly. My parents, you see, were musicians.

hii viktor! you're super super cool,, is there anything you find particularly fun to do? like a hobby? apart from science

Thank you very much for the compliment, and the question!

I enjoy composition. Ah, well, I should say that I used to as I have not composed in quite some time. I am not skilled in transcribing my work, but I have some original drafts lying about. I taught myself musical notation long after I arrived in Piltover, while working as an assistant for Heimerdinger. I was somewhat adrift, during that time, you see.

I learned the fiddle through listening to and observing my mother when she played, and developed an ear for the notes intuitively, separately from any sort of written record. Jayce enjoys my ability to play back songs to him. I still feel as though my technique lacks a certain warmth compared to that of my mother’s, though I use the very same instrument.
