April 4 - Saint Isidore's Day (patron saint of the Internet)
April 4 - International Piano Tuner and Piano Tuner Day
Events of April 4 that happened around the world, in different years
Catholic saint Isidore of Seville, Bishop of Seville (560-636), gained fame not only for his piety, but also for his love of science. He was the author of one of the first books on etymology, the first to introduce the works of Aristotle in Spain, and was a reformer and a man of broad views.
Saint Isidore is considered the patron saint of pupils and students, and in 1999 Pope John Paul II officially named Saint Isidore the patron saint of computer and Internet users.
Isidore of Seville is the author of the 20-volume work “Etymology”. It was essentially the world's first encyclopedia. In order to explain the meaning and origin of words, it contains a huge amount of material covering the entire amount of knowledge of the era. Catholic Church chose him as the patron of the Internet, based primarily on the fact that the World Wide Web is a huge treasury of human knowledge.
Every year around the world, April 4th is celebrated as International Piano Tuner and Piano Tuner Day.
Pianos and pianofortes are the most common musical instruments in modern world, but despite this, there are very few specialists capable of setting up these tools.
The profession of a piano tuner is highly valued in the modern world, because a specialist in such a craft must not only have a good knowledge of equipment repair, but also have a good ear for music, allowing him to properly tune the instrument. In fact, there are not that many good piano tuners. Such a shortage creates no small demand. After all, no matter how much technical progress did not create new musical instruments, and the good old piano will always remain a sought-after classic.
In the recent past of Russia, a piano tuner was considered a person of an official profession. Today in our country it is not so easy to find an adjuster. This can only be done through an acquaintance or by contacting private advertisements. In the modern Russian Federation, such a profession does not officially exist, which is a pity. After all, a person will always strive for the beautiful and spiritual, for what can be created by playing a well-tuned instrument.

The first mature work was the novel Our Friends, which competed in popularity with The Twelve Chairs and The Golden Calf.
