Back from a classical music performance by one of my colleagues who was performing at the Victoria Concert Hall playing Jean Sibelius and Sergei Rachmaninoff. These classical repertoire does bring back memories of the old days when i was practising my piano for the practical ABRSM exams and learning all the composers name for the theory part. Though i never really became a famous composer, but classical music especially has taught me to appreciate beauty, order and rhythm... emotions... symphony and proportions. I guess it is really true that architecture is like a musical symphony and musical symphony is architecture.
One classical piece that i will always remember from my piano days...
Beethoven ' Fur Elise'
Being classical also brings me to another level of avant-garde in classical music.. namely the American composer John Cage in his famous controversial piece 4' 33"...
Watch it and u know why is its truly avant garde. Kudos... John Cage.
