little culture, gentlemen and ladies. events "cultural" We had a lot lately in our country. I'm not talking about throwing out two deputies from a party, another sensational assertions of the President, by going through Warszawkę nazioli under the banner of the Independence Day celebration or to place a ban on smoking without the possibility of its enforcement. About this today, I will not write.
In return, I would torture the theme music ... I have just released information about the death of Henryk Mikolaj Gorecki, a Polish composer, who could boast of reaching the top of the charts (yes, yes ... the music charts, including popular music) with his III Symphony (Symphony of Sorrowful Songs). It is true that this piece was written in 1976, but he aroused the greatest interest in 1992 due to record vocal line by American singer Dawn Upshaw. And suddenly, Gore became a star, who sells the same plates as Prince. Nice one!
well remember this event because I bought the cassette this time (people not knowing what is this "cassette" refer to Wikipedia) with that quite Symphony and listened with attention to her, from the very first sounds. HM Gorecki's music seemed to me then, very picturesque, combining elements of romantic, modern and pathetic, but the most important was the fact that, being a typical classical music, I liked.
I explain that classical music had a slight aversion, because after graduating from high school musical the first degree, I felt her disgust. So this is where the "learn" to listen to someone on the force. Just a program of education (both piano and Sciences Music and Ear Training) did not allow for "dislike" her. This may sound strange that with some knowledge of musical eras, biographies of great composers, musical notation, harmony, and above all with experience in playing the piano, and repelled from each other classics. And yet it was so.
And then Gore appeared. You could say that my ears przeczyścił cleaning rod, I could hear in classical music is what you have not heard. And maybe I've heard, but too superficially. There was scary to me anymore Baroque and Romanticism, though I admit, without beating, and I realized that it did not convince the classicism. I know that talking about bad things ... like this? You may not like Haydn'ai Mozart'a?
can.
From that moment has passed a dozen years. I do not play the piano now, I turned it on midi keyboard, which is only two octaves. Frankly, I could not have anything decent to play probably the former skill, no, unless we are talking about free pit-pit, in the style of "ran to Bethlehem ..." or "Chariots of Fire." Well, let's say you drink it like it's still some hard hiciory like "Dream of Victoria" and "The Final Countdown." But the classics are no longer expected. Fingers zgrabiały ...
And I like to hear Gorecki today. He was 77. I am sorry but the guy at the same time I admire him for it, that he gave up his passion and doing something I truly loved. It's probably just about like he should be saying that they are "real Poles" (before the death of the composer was awarded the Order of White Eagle) and not black-and palatal kurduplach przydupasach.
Howgh!
