    A piece of music so immutable, so timeless, so sublime... here we are 300 years later and this piece still is as relevant and soul wrenching today as it was when it was written! What a master was Bach!

    Orders the beauty and the pain in a balance that allows you to unify the fragments of your existence that finally prove incomprehensible, to feel comprehensible be it just for these moments. To resolve first loves meetings with their final departure and all the rest. Bach I love it.

      It's kind of lame to me how this song is considered almost kitsch by some of the more snobby classical music aficionados. I get the sentiment...but good lord, this piece of music is damn near holy. It's one of those incredibly rare compositions that comes along every so often, from the most creative and intelligent minds of their day, to illuminate an _aesthetic mental environment_ that was never before contemplated. I'd love to travel back in time and watch the very first audience that heard this being performed. I imagine there were many shivers-up-the-spine moments and a few tears. There's just _something_ about this song that hits some primordial region of my subconscious; it feels like my perceptual lens is clearer and less occluded by the inane banality of status-quo existence.
      If aliens ever discover Earth and us humans, personally I'd want them to hear _this song_ before they experience anything else. I think even an alien species, even if they had no context for what they were hearing, would still sense something ineffably poignant about this song. In this song, I hear one of the fullest and most complete expressions of humanity itself that I've ever heard. The mildly chromatic descending bass-lines, the yearning romantic melodic lines and the implied harmony they sketch out, the drone note suspended in air...falling like a leaf in autumn before blending into the harmony below. It's such a creative and inspired composition....indeed it leads me to write fawning pedantic overly-wordy missives about how this song is the perfect aural embodiment of human existence itself. So...yeah. Think I'll go make some coffee now and stop typing. :P

      +avedic It's just one of the risks of fame. Familiarity breeds contempt. My you, there is a very strong, inherent snobbery in classical music to contend with, particularly opera.
      The assumption is something exquisite could not possibly be perceived by the untrained mind. Pearls before swine. But, as you say, a true work of genius is cognizable by all.
      At least Pachelbel's Canon attracts more flak for being kitschy!

    • @martinferrari2110
      @martinferrari2110 8 лет назад +7

      +Jacob Anderson The conductor organizes the performance of a given piece of music. It might help thinking about the director of a company. Given the same employees, a company might succeed or not depending on its head. The conductor establishes the tempo (speed at which the music is played), dynamics (i. e. volume, where it should be loud, where it should not), whether something should be played legato or not, etc. etc. The musicians know how to play their parts (on good orchestras as this one at least), but since each musician has a different idea about how a piece of music should sound, it would take an awful amount of time for all of them to agree, if ever, on how to play a specific piece.
