Opus 28

I want to write something about the beautiful music I've been listening to this evening. Chopin, Bach, Beethoven, Wagner, Mozart. These composers created some of the most beautiful music, ever. I find it interesting how one sort of music influences another. It all started somehwere. I think people often forget that. I don't understand people who dislike classical music. Or people who dislike any sort of music from the past. You wouldn't be listening to Carly Rae Jepsen on your radio if so many other people hadn't created music before her. I'm not going to continue on that rant, however. I could seriously write a book about it.

Anyway, when I experience something beautiful I feel the need to share it. I want other people to experience not only the way I have experienced, but I want them to discover it for themselves as well. Everyone should listen to beautiful music, read beautiful, powerful literature, and see the beauty in life. This reminds me of something Goethe once said, which my grandparents have hanging somewhere in their house. "Every day we should hear at least one little song, read one good poem, see one exquisite picture, and, if possible, speak a few sensible words."

Good night.
