With music\u2026 honestly, I found a reason to keep going. I don\u2019t know what would have happened without it. I don\u2019t even know what kind of person I would have become\u2014definitely someone else. And by music I mean classical music in particular, because classical is truly\u2026 something else. And now, unfortunately, everyone can listen to it for free, whenever they want, repeat it endlessly, but it takes you away from all the trash that\u2019s coming out these days.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

As for how music started with me\u2014well, at first, the very first thing I heard was Beethoven\u2019s \u201cF\u00fcr Elise.\u201d But that wasn\u2019t what made me obsessed, as they say. What actually made me obsessed\u2014I\u2019ll send it to you now\u2014is <\/span>Nocturne in C sharp minor, Op. posth.<\/span><\/i>, number 20. It\u2019s by Chopin, and they call it \u201cposthumous,\u201d meaning it was published after he died.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

There\u2019s a quote I just remembered now by Sergei Rachmaninoff, one of the legends of Russian music, just like Tchaikovsky. The quote says: <\/span>\u201cMusic is enough for a lifetime, but a lifetime isn\u2019t enough for music.\u201d<\/span><\/i> Just to see how vast this world is\u2026 the world of music is truly incredibly vast. I say it\u2019s as big as the universe\u2014so big that it never ends, never ends. Especially the realm of classical music, because if you look today, all the foundations of modern music are built on the basics of the old classical music.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Anyway, yes\u2014music is such a vast thing, it never ends. Whether you start at age 10 or at age 80, you\u2019ll never finish it and you\u2019ll never grasp more than a drop in the ocean of music. That\u2019s how wide it is.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
