86 | Rođeni ste 1. januara. Da li ste nekad napisali pesmu baš na taj dan? –Ne radim1. januara, niti tog dana slavim rođendan, nego nekoliko dana kasnije. Taj datum ne računam kao značajan početak nečeg novog, niti samse ikad zavetovao da od njega okrenem drugi list u nekom poglavlju života. Listove okrećem pomalo svakog dana. Da li ste nekad plakali pišući pesmu? –PesnikSergej Jesenjin jebiokrivac što su mi suze krenule kad sam stigao do srednjeg dela njegove pesme Keruša .

Napisali ste i hitMoja generacija.Naštavasasociravašageneracija? – Asocijacija je na moje rođenje 1942. uNišu i namoje roditelje. S pesmom Generacija 42, Korni grupa je 1974. učestvovalanaevrovizijskomtakmičenjuuBrajtonuuEngleskoj. Bili smo tek 12. po rang-listi, ali upoznali smo lepo vaspitane i pristojne izvođače pop grupe Abba i tada veoma zgodne devojke Agnetu i Ani. Kome biste posvetili najdražu pesmu? – Svojim ćerkama, Aleksandri, Kristini i najmlađoj Anji. I, naravno, unuci Tari. A posebnu novu pesmu mojoj supruzi Sneški. Tu pesmu će pevati Bisera Veletanlić. Da možete da živite u nekom drugomveku, koji biste izabrali po muzičkom ukusu? –Ni u jednomvekunijednomautoru nije bilo lako stvarati, živeti sjajno, bez teških uslova. Nisam se ja u pravom vremenu na pravom mestu nalazio. Mene je nalazila moja prava muzika. I obožavala me je, kao i ja nju, kao zgodnu devojku. Koje instrumente svirate i ima li neki koji biste rado još naučili da svirate? – Kratko sam svirao kontrabas zbog zarade. Svirao sam četiri godine i violinupo školskomzadatku, kao i harmoniku, na kojoj sam naučio u to vreme popularnu pesmu Gaučo RockbandKorniGrupaparticipatedinthe 1974EurovisionSongContest inEngland.Wewere onlyin12th place,butwemetthewell-mannered andrespectableperformersofpopgroupAbba, andverygoodlookinggirlsAgnethaandAnni Korni grupa je 1974. učestvovala na Evrosongu u Engleskoj.

His evergreen songs found themselves onto the repertoire of the most important and popular singers of the 20th century. At the age of 14, hewrote his rst composition“Leave the Pavements”, performed in the Subotica GymnasiumHigh School during afternoon tea, was a member of rock band Indexi, and founded the Korni grupa. He will perform alongside the other members of this band – after a gap of three decades – on 31st January 2019 at the Sava Centre in Belgrade and celebrate half a century since the group’s founding. He is Kornelije ‘Bata’ Kovač, and he’s ready to remain on the scene... “I’ve spent days writing for themembers of Korni Grupa and our concert on 31st January. It’s tough material for the musicians, and even tougher for me. It was created between 1968 and 1974. If the band members agree, perhaps we’ll continue performing after the concert, to commemorate our anniversary. That would please me.” What music do you listen to at the start of the day? - I mainly listen to The Four Seasons by Antonio Vivaldi, although my favourite is Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 6. I also go to every concert that’s conducted by Zubin Mehta. Which part of the day is the most inspirational for work?
