Congratulations to Léonard on passing his trial phase.
He is French. And? Who cares who issues his passport? It could be somewhat interesting, where he was educated, who his teachers were etc. But his nationality? Seriously? Is this the 19th century?

One of the two principal solo cellists in the Berlin Philarmoniker is french ! I speak of Bruno Delepelaire. And one of the two principal flutists in the same orchester is french too. I speak of Mathieur Dufour. There’s a current french invasion in the german orchesters. What’s going on in Germany ! The greatness of the german musical tradition will be corrupted by french ” légereté “.
Richard Wagner wouldn’t be amused ….
His name is Emmanuel Pahud. The flutist. You are funny… almost.
