Classical Music.....

I have always loved classical music. I used to play the Piano for several years and was obsessed with learning how to play every piece of classical music I could get my hands on. But not only was playing it the reason that I loved it so much, but it was because it seemed to change my mood to fit the music. Classical music is like a bird in flight, or the feelings of the person that wrote it. With a bird it can change course at any second, change its mind about where its going. It can swoop up or down, zig left or right, just like a persons emotions. Classical music changes feelings often and with it my mood. If its fast paced I feel energetic, if its slow I want to curl up with a book or take a nap. You feel so much when you listen to this type of music, and you don't have very much time to analyze how you feel about it since it changes so fast to the next stanza. I feel amazed at how people can come up with this type of music. How much emotion must they be feeling to create this work? Who are they thinking of when writing it? I guess I will never know until I try to write a symphony my self.
