My mother placed me in an educational institution when I was five, and I remained in one ever since! However, much learning is available away from organised set-ups. Sharing experiences is a wonderful human activity.
"If music......."
Just to remind you of the bard’s lines:
“If music be the food of love, play on;
Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken, and so die.
That strain again! it had a dying fall:
O, it came o'er my ear like the sweet sound,
That breathes upon a bank of violets..............”
But this is only one aspect of the splendour and greatness of
music in all its forms, rhythms and sounds. The variety of formats is so large
that hardly any music lover is left out. There is music for everybody: young
and old, rich and poor, clever and non-clever, profane and talented, and
perhaps, angelic and satanic.
The attachment to music has to-day reached unprecedented
levels. You have only to take a stroll in a busy road, or sit at ease on a
bench in your green or park, to watch many people with headphones attached to
their ears, presumably listening to their favourite music.
Or join an open air crowd in a well lit open space to follow
the performance of a well orchestrated concert. Sometimes it is very noticeable
that attendees go into hysterics during performances of this genre.
The debate about the classical and the modern leads to
nowhere. The choice may be subjective, personal and relative. It may happen that
the music chosen to listen to at a particular moment is dependent on one’s feelings influenced by prevailing circumstances. While
writing this peace I find soft melodious music inspiring, but sometimes I
prefer Carmine Burana to liven my spirits. Read more about this train of
