Music can change the world
Beethoven said “music can change the world!”
What can change your opinion about music?
It seems that if you are not a 19th century musician it is very difficult to appreciate the quality and level of classical music. In modern times, especially those who have musical knowledge or play a musical instrument understand the importance of classical music in everyday life. But, what about you?
What are your options when you want to enjoy a quiet afternoon? Do you prefer a calm ballad? A soft rock track? Or just absolute silence?
Is classical music a kind of music that makes you want to sleep?
Have you learned how many different choices of classical music there are depending on the time of their composition?
There are questions that some people have never considered, but the answers are still surprising, as classical music has a timeless value.
Let’s look at some interesting information.
For example, a former rock musician said:
“I had to make an effort to move from easy rock sound to more serious classical music. But when I realized that there was more substance in it, the music became more satisfying. It suddenly became beneficial. “I realized what I had lost because of my previous prejudice against other types of music.”
Did you know that, a speaker company in Japan has developed a system that plays music to help grow plants in a greenhouse. One technician explains that the music stimulates the plants, causing them to open their mouths, that is, the tiny leaf openings that allow the plant to breathe. But they do not make all kinds of music.
“Only classical music should be used,” say the owners of an Osaka farm, who use music to speed up production. At least their melons and tomatoes taste good — they prefer Mozart, Bach and Vivaldi.
A couple, who loved classical music themselves, put their baby to listen to Suite №2 of Bach,shortly after his birth for a few hours every day. At three months, the baby began to move its body vigorously according to the rhythm. As the rhythm became faster towards the climax, the baby’s movements became faster and when the music ended, the baby showed his displeasure. “Often, when the baby was anxious or crying, the parents would play this music and the baby would calm down immediately.”
