He had excellent hearing. He listened to the work only once - he could easily reproduce it. After graduating from school, Eduard moved to the territory of Minsk. There he entered the music school. Despite the workload in his student years, Khanok earned money by playing the accordion in Minsk restaurants and bars.

Eduard Khanok: Maestro's creative path
Popularity came to the composer in the early 70s. At that time he lived on the territory of Ukraine. At the Song of the Year festival, he presented a composition that became a real legend. We are talking about the work "Winter" ("Ice Ceiling").
The composition made the most pleasant impression on the audience. The song enriched the maestro, and he was handed the keys to a brand new apartment in the very center of the Dnieper (Ukraine).
On the wave of popularity, he writes the composition "Verba" and "Let's talk." Note that the maestro composed the first song in Ukrainian. At that time, it was performed by several groups from Ukraine at once.
A few years later he moved to Brest. There he had the opportunity to write musical accompaniment for the film "Yas and Yanina". At the same time, his first collaboration with Pesniary took place.
Soon he managed to personally work with the Diva of the Russian stage - Alla Pugacheva. They met on the set of the film "Poet Sergei Ostrovoy". A couple of years will pass and Hanok will offer the singer to perform the song "The Song of the First Grader".
At the end of the 70s, Pugacheva presented a song written especially for her. In the same year, she recorded another composition with the participation of the maestro - "You take me with you" to the verses of Reznik. The presented compositions brought success to Alla Borisovna.
In the early 80s, he Eduard practically did not devote time to writing musical works. Nothing was heard about him for a long time, and only in 2017 the name of Hanok again appeared on the lips.
In 2017, the maestro banned some singers from performing compositions that belong to his authorship. Eduard was greatly offended by the fact that his name was no longer indicated during concerts. He considered this not respect and even went to court, but lost the case.
Details of the personal life of the maestro
The maestro can safely be called a happy man - he managed to build a harmonious relationship with his wife. Eulalia Hanok is the composer's first and only wife. The woman bore the man three children.
