This post will serve as a tribute to the most beautiful music in mankind: Classical Music. Thank God there's Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Liszt, Rachmaninoff! Just Imagine life without them?
If there is one genre that will be left on this earth, it would definitely be the classical music. I can listen 24 hours on this very soothing and appealing type of music. Maybe, some people of my age will definitely think that I am too old-fashioned or like I'm stuck at the 18th century, but I will tell you man! I rather listen to Classical Music than to those punky, noisy, screaming, emo people singing their lungs out. I can barely understand a word. Though classical music don't necessarily have the requirement to put words on their music, well in fact, I rarely hear classical music with words, the music itself still gives us an image or an illusion on what we are listening without the use of words and I think that's one of the great wonders classical music can bring.
Ok, maybe not all of us is like me. Some still prefer what fits in their personality and I give my deepest respect to them. But I am lover of timeless music. I just don't want, that the beauty of classical music will be just a memory. In fact, there are so few people whom I can have a talk with classical music. Very few! few! and really really rare to find! And I can say that I am proud of those people who enjoys classical music because they value such treasure. I like to mention my bestfriend, Arnie, because she is my partner-in-crime when it comes to music. She really loves different genres, from punk to classical. Carlota! hey, I mention your name in my blog!!! This girl, ah! I can talk to her about classical music like forever and just can't seem to stop it! We really share a great taste in music...haha! Lota, I'm glad that I'm your friend!
If you are interested in listening to classicals, then there is this only fm radio in the Philippines which really play all day long classical music and I am really glad that I personally discover it and was able to tune in to that station: 98.7 "The Master's Touch. It's plays music from the masters (Bach, Mozart, etc) and they also teach the words of the Master (God). It's really a good station, they promote growth and change by the use of classical Music and the word's of God. Very refreshing to listen to it every morning. It airs from 6:00am-12:00mn from Monday to Saturday. I really make sure that while I am getting ready for school, I tune in to 98.7! Just try it, it is really um, how can you describe the feeling, um, it's really refreshing and rejuvenating, it's like starting your day with a fresh and new mindset and it really encourages you to be optimistic and rely your new day to God. I must say, it is very uplifting.
Maybe one of the few reasons that I really dig in to Classicals is that my parents pursue and really forced? haha, me to play piano. If you want to be a professional piano player? no, I think pianist fits more haha! Anyway, if you want to be a professional pianist, you really need to stuck yourself with loads of classical pieces from different composers all over the world. And I personally realize how cunning it is to make a piece, that it needs a witty, imaginative and well, a genius intellectuality to make a timeless music. Mozart is a child prodigy, composing music, making sonatas and concertos at such a young age. Sadly, God took away his life at such a young age. Beethoven, a classical genius, deaf but can still make a beautiful music. What if he is not deaf?...haha. The "Liebestraum" by Franz Liszt, I am dying to play that in the piano, but I just can't really seem to play it nicely! haha. Lack of practice and impatience are my no.1 enemy. But it is a beautiful song, really, really beautiful, my mom says that Liebestraum makes her cry and she would be very glad if I will be able to play that song for her, sadly, I still can't finish it or I won't be able to finish it.
Well, if you really want to try some classical, here are some of my faves:
1. Liebestraum (Dream of Love)- Franz Liszt
2. La Campanella- Franz Liszt
3. Gymopedie no.1- Erik Satie
4. Piano Sonata # 8 (Pathetique)- Beethoven
5. Fantasy Impromptu- Chopin
6. Minute Waltz- Chopin
7. Marriage of Figaro- Mozart
8. Greensleeves- Mozart
9. Rhapsody in Blue- Gershwin
10. Nocturne in E Flat Major- Chopin
Happy listening! Au Revoir!
