Wiener Cello Ensemble 5+1: Bolero

By this way of playing, the cello probably will break faster than the usual.

It’s a playful way to play and watch too.

Knowing a masterpiece's background or story before and after listening to it.

You’ll get diverse tastes of them.

Itzhak Perlman - Ziegeunerwiesen 流浪者之歌

https://m.youtube.com/watch?list=PLFB8BDD0B6E024FB6&v=Ww4qCBhypxo

"依據吉普賽民謠譜寫的「流浪者之歌」，曲中含有吉普賽音樂特有的懶散部分（Lassu）與狂熱部分（Friss）。「流浪者之歌」是一首華麗而富於戲劇性的小提琴曲。曲中安排幾段匈牙利民謠與通俗音樂的旋律，原為小提琴與管弦樂演奏的樂曲，但很多時候，由小提琴與鋼琴演奏。"

Meditation de Thais

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ss1URTJYlfQ

"The Méditation is an instrumental entr'acte performed between the scenes of Act II in the opera Thaïs. In the first scene of Act II, Athanaël, a Cenobite monk, confronts Thaïs, a beautiful and hedonistic courtesan and devotée of Venus, and attempts to persuade her to leave her life of luxury and pleasure and find salvation through God. It is during a time of reflection following the encounter that the Méditation is played by the orchestra. In the second scene of Act II, following the Méditation, Thaïs tells Athanaël that she will follow him to the desert."

blessed

I’m so blessed to know this free music lesson from a dear friend of mine.

http://praisedance123.blogspot.com/2015/02/open-yale-courselistening-to-music.html

I’m still at the very beginning of the lecture; I really enjoy and found benefits from it. I don’t have trained ears like some of the people. They can pick up the music and the feeling about it right away.

I found this from a friend’s recommendation on face book. I already finish the first lesson, introduction, pretty interesting. I’ll definitely continue the whole class.

Feel free to enjoy music/classical in an odd style. Who say it has to be formal and serious.

Today’s passages, words of wisdom, make me thought about a song, Beatles’ let it be.

We all need wisdom on our daily life.
