seshat's blog post - Classical music

Monday, October 22, 2012, 8:07:22 PM

I don't know if there are many lovers of classical music out here. I'm not sure I can actually qualify myself as an enthusiast of classical music: my knowledge is basic at best, which is exactly why I have so many classical music concerts the upcoming nine months. I have lots of exploring to do. But ever since I started this exploration, I feel a certain need is fulfilled by certain pieces I have come to love.

I have these moods when I feel anxious and nervous, without being able to pinpoint why. Sometimes, tonight for example, something can exacerbate this annoying feeling, such as a particularly violent movie scene. So I decided to stop watching television, and retreated into the study where I put on Max Bruch's violin concerto nr 1. Even at half the volume I would have liked to play it at (I do have neighbors after all), such beauty, such pureness of emotion... It just resonates somewhere inside me, like a little piece of a puzzle that falls back into place.

Nice! I love classical music...glad you're going to go to some concerts! I generally get strange looks at work when I play it (kitchen word) where either classic or hard rock is almost always the name of the game.
