Classical music

               How do you feel the emotions from the music that you listen to? For many people it is from the words that are sung, but for me it is the musicality of it, weather the notes flow, turn to major cords, and turn to minor cords, crescendo, and decrescendo, weather the music is allegro. This is why I find classical music like those of Mozart or Beethoven so intriguing to listen to. There are no words to base your feeling of the music off of so it really makes you think about how you feel when you listen to the songs because the words aren’t telling you how you feel.

               Classical music is so unique from all other types of music because everyone can feel something different from it. From Mozart’s song “Old Lambach” some people may think of a fun filled picnic with their family under a big willow tree. Someone else may imagine flying a kite at the beaches edge as the tide sweeps over their feet as they listen to the song. The good thing about music like this is that it can bring back memories. I don t know exactly how it can do it but it somehow opens up your mind to all of the emotions you have ever felt, it almost frees them with the music.

               Some other great things about classical music is that it is very good to listen to when doing homework because it doesn’t distract you from thinking about your homework, yet it gets your brain flowing. It is also very relaxing and it eases the mind.

The 1750’s to 1820’s was the time of classical music this time frame was known as the period of absolute music. At this time less and less people wrote music for parties and events that the royalty paid for them to play at, it now was more just for the freedom of expressing themselves thru perfectly combined notes and rhythms.
