MUSIC We hear you. “Art” By: Anna Dohnalova The only time I visualize things is while listening to instruments. Chopin and Mozart preferably, but I never turn down to Bach or Beethoven. Each song is it’s own significantly portrayed scenery. It is it’s own artwork. The intensity and depth of Mozart’s symphonies make you experience dazzling waves of extraordinary feelings you have never felt before. It’s like a touch of a hand except it touches your heart and it lingers. It lingers till when the song is over and you open your eyes. Everybody has an instrument that evokes that special feeling. For me, it is a piano and it will never change. That’s why I feel like Chopin is my 209 year old talented friend. Sometimes I wish I could call him after listening to his sonatas. His tender, sometimes heavy piano melodies create a whole range of color shadings that no one before him had imagined were there. I mean, how could they? Have you ever heard so many shades of blue? It’s sort of a melancholy, but not quite. Chopin said it himself. It should give the impression of gazing tenderly at a place which brings to the mind a thousand of dear memories. It is a very personal feeling, but you should not feel sad. Just captured in the right moment with the right instrument. They did not need words to describe. And that’s the beauty in that.
