Every morning. . When the sun has not come out, this two couples would be a poor old man carrying a cylinder was filled with full of soya milk, ready to walk out of the urban area for sale. . They mocked the footsteps of stamped, step by step walk to the city, they talked and laughed in a certain timed. . Two of the most romantic than watching the sunrise every day convention together. . Two wealthy couples are out of their cars will be driving his or her city to eat breakfast, two elderly people will be silent in the car from time to time after his wife also saw the passing of poverty, they are always smiling face. . Then pride wealthy old lady cannot help but have played a doubt in their hearts, "were so tired walking, but also to mention the heavy soya milk, there is much to be happy do?"


On the other hand, poor families have five children. . They are thrifty in their own household chores, the older two siblings will be responsible for cooking, preparing dinner waiting for their parents to come back. . Family reunion dinner. . But because they are too poor, and even the dishes are not enough, so smart Sanmei will recommend that older brother went off the coconut tree, coconut hut, the coconut water-retains together, also put Coconut scraping a scrape it up .

Filial piety of the little brother to their parents but also all their efforts, clip the dish to their parent eat, Sanmei will be naughty to say, "Oh, today I prepared a dessert," was subsequently brought in to deal with the ever coconut meat and coconut water as an after-dinner fruit and drinks. At this time a wealthy husband and wife next door house next door came to hear the lively laughter, the two couples pause, looking forward to dinner with each other, despite the seat more than meals rich and bored at the moment they picked up the coins on the ground spinning, you cannot help thinks, "Why are they so poor can be so happy and we are so lonely rich"?

Conventional therapy by correcting the incorrect concept of mind to achieve the change the negative mood effects, but a recurring phenomenon is understood truth, but it is not control their emotions. In this case, music therapy becomes more effective. Because the music is a direct effect on the mood, so by changing the mood music therapy is to change people's awareness. As we all know that when one's mood is good, often tend to see the positive side of things, turn a bad thing as a good thing; when the person's bad mood, they often tend to see the negative side of things, the good thing as a bad thing.

My favorite classical musicians - Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin – (Piano Poet)





My favorite classical musicians - Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin – (Piano Poet)

Around thousand classical musicians that I discovery. The most classical musicians I admire and my favorite is Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin . Normally he called Piano Poet pianist because he is more into First time I listen to his classical music pieces is from the original soundtrack of korean drama “ Spring Waltz ” .

Before I started to introduce the favorite pieces of Chopin , I apologize to all the Chopin music lover if there are any errors . Because the views of evaluation of the songs is all my own opinion . Now , Let me bringing you all into the Chopin music world .

I-History

First at all , let me introduce a little bit about Chopin history . Frederic Chopin was born in Poland. Poland remains proud of Chopin as a Polish-born citizen, even though this “second Mozart” left Poland at age 20 to pursue his career in Western Europe. Chopin’s likeness can be seen on the faces of statues in Poland and has been featured on banknotes. His name was even given to one of Poland’s best potato vodkas. And while Chopin’s body is buried in Paris, his heart is encased in a pillar in the Holy Cross Church in Warsaw.

In Paris, Chopin made a comfortable living as a composer and piano teacher, while giving few public performances. Though an ardent Polish patriot, in France he used the French versions of his names and eventually, to avoid having to rely on Imperial Russian documents, became a French citizen. After some ill-fated romantic involvements with Polish women, from 1837 to 1847 he had a turbulent relationship with the French authoress George Sand. Always in frail health, he died in Paris in 1849, aged thirty-nine, of pulmonary tuberculosis.

Chopin’s love affair with George Sand is one of the most interesting aspects of his short life. The French Romantic writer met Chopin in the late 1830s. The couple traveled in the warmer climates of Europe in order to keep Chopin out of the northern winters, which were extremely hard on his delicate health. Earlier in this same decade, Chopin was plagued with ill health – so much so that one engagement was made and called off. Chopin was a victim of tuberculosis, which eventually claimed his life, and no doubt put strain on his relationship with George Sand.

Introduction to Orchestra




I start interest to orchestra music since I watched a Korean drama which call “ Beethoven virus “ which describe a story about those music lover achieve their musical dream in thorns environment .It’s really close to my heart . Orchestra actually is the space in a theater between the stage and the audience; -- originally appropriated by the Greeks to the chorus and its evolutions, afterward by the Romans to persons of distinction, and by the moderns to a band of instrumental musicians. It also a band of instrumental musicians performing in a theater, concert hall, or other place of public amusement.

Among the instrument groups and within each group of instruments, Every instrumental group (or section) has a principal who is generally responsible for leading the group and playing orchestral solos. The violins are divided into two groups, first violin and second violin, each with its principal. The principal first violin is called the concertmaster (or "leader" in the UK) and is considered the leader of not only the string section, but of the entire orchestra, subordinate only to the conductor. The most frequently performed repertoire for a symphony orchestra is Western classical music or opera. However, orchestras are sometimes used in popular music, used extensively in film music, and sometimes used in video game music.
By the way , orchestra is a band suitable for the performance of symphonies, overtures, etc., as well as for the accompaniment of operas, oratorios, cantatas, masses, and the like, or of vocal and instrumental solos. Orchestra also can be divided to classical orchestra , early romantic orchestra , late romantic orchestra and modern orchestra , Were the use of different instrumental . The most orchestra that I preferred is classical orchestra .
The music instruments of classical orchestra is
Woodwinds
2 Flutes
2 Oboes
2 Clarinets in B-flat, A
2 Bassoons
Brass
2 or 4 Horns (in any key)
2 Trumpets (in any key)
Percussion
Timpani
Strings
6 Violins I
6 Violins II
4 Violas
3 Violoncellos
2 Double basses

A symphony is an extended musical composition, scored almost always for orchestra. "Symphony" does not necessarily imply a specific form though most are composed according to the sonata principle. Many symphonies are tonal works in four movements with the first in sonata form and this is often described by music theorists as the structure of a "classical" symphony, although many symphonies by the acknowledged classical masters of the form, Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Ludwig van Beethoven, do not conform to this model.
The most popular orchestra song of Beethoven is Symphony 9 , the Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125 "Choral" is the final complete symphony of Ludwig van Beethoven. The symphony is in four movements. # 1.Allegro ma non troppo, un poco maestoso #2. Scherzo: Molto vivace – Presto #3 Adagio molto e cantabile - Andante Moderato - Tempo Primo - Andante Moderato - Adagio - Lo Stesso Tempo #4 Recitative.Completed in 1824, the symphony is one of the best known works of the Western classical repertoire and is considered one of Beethoven's greatest masterpieces. The symphony was the first example of a major composer using voices in a symphony. The words are sung during the final movement by four vocal soloists and a chorus. It really stirring , is a god combination of music instucment and vocal .They were taken from the "Ode to Joy", a poem written by Friedrich Schiller in 1785 and revised in 1803, with additions made by the composer.
My favorite orchestra song is symphony No 6, 3rd movement by Beethoven . Dvorak Serenade for String Orchestra 1st movement . Now I just realize that symphony music can make people feel tranquil ,comfort , soft and feathery , is truly beautiful melody . Espeacially at night time , just closed your eyes and listened .Let me reach the highest enjoyment of classical music.
