Moscow State Symphony by Autumn
When thinking about the performing arts, symphonies do not seem to stand out. It seems as if a lot of people are not into classical music as much as they are into the more modern styles of music like hip-hop and rock. Although, if the number of people and the vibes coming from the audience of the Moscow State Symphony was seen, it might be thought otherwise. There are more people into classical styles of music than one might believe. The Moscow State Symphony can change thoughts on classical music and can be learned from.
I have always enjoyed listening to classical music, but I have never heard anything like this before, especially in person. It is a very different experience listening to it at home and hearing it performed live right in front of you. Before going to the symphony I did not think there were that many people out there who enjoyed listening to classical type music. Although, after seeing the response of the audience and the number of people, it completely changed my mind. There was such a good response that the symphony played more songs than were in the program. My thinking on classical music changed tremendously. I realized that there were a ton of people who enjoy classical types of music. I also realized that I liked classical music a lot more than I thought I did. I think that people who claim not to like classical might change their mind after seeing
this performance.
Not only can the symphony change your thinking about classical music but you can also learn from it. One thing that I learned from the speaker after the show is that playing an instrument is something that you can do your whole life. The man that spoke with us had been playing for almost his whole life. I believe it was around 40 years or so. There are so many things you do in your earlier years that you can not always continue doing; like sports such as football and gymnastics. But with playing an instrument one is never too old to continue playing. Which is what a lot of the people in the symphony have done. Also, someone can start learning at almost any age. Playing an instrument can be a life long hobby or career.
Another thing that I learned from the symphony was about the violin. I knew a little bit about the violin from when I played in 4th grade. And I still learned more about it. From what I knew, although I stopped playing because I could not read music, I would never have guessed it could be so unique. The soloist, Stefan Jackiw, showed me just how unique the violin is. I did not know it could be played so intricately. I think if I would have known when I was in 4th grade I would not have quit. Stefan was really an amazing violinist and helped me to see how amazing the violin can be. I just didn't realize all the different sounds and varieties you could achieve from the violin.
Symphonies now stand out in my mind more than ever before. The Moscow State Symphony was received so well and was really amazing. Not only can the Symphony change someone's views on classical music, but it can also teach us different things.
