Let's make this birthday one to remember.

46 years old (Born on August 14, 1978)

Happy Birthday, Ivan! May your day be filled with more harmony than a Bach fugue and fewer surprises than sight-reading Ravel. Your fingers have danced effortlessly across keys from Handel to Haydn—proving that Beethoven isn't the only one who can rock wild hair while dazzling audiences.

Your prolific recordings continue inspiring listeners worldwide; each note you play is timelessly elegant yet refreshingly vibrant. Here's hoping this year brings even greater success (and perhaps fewer tricky passages). Keep making music history—and remember: age may increase tempo markings, but you're always perfectly in tune!

Cheers to another brilliant movement ahead!
