A little bit about myself. I am not a musician by training nor by profession. I am just very lucky to have been exposed to very rich music. I always enjoyed sound, a little bit too much. First time when I heard Bach, I couldn’t believe such music was possible, and that awe still exists in me (like millions of people around the world)
Listening to music is at the same time very easy and extremely difficult for me - infact, I could not listen to Beethoven for a very long time, and then I just couldn’t stop. I still can’t enjoy Liszt, Mahler and few more. In this process, I have developed strong likes and dislikes to pianists and composers and only old age will bring in me the wisdom that will make me more open and accepting of more music. I feel I am not ready yet, and I will make sure I do not let my limitations appear in any of my writing.
Yes, so with that out of the way - why am I writing about music ? I have no particular reason to write about music nor have I any particular reason to not write about music. However, it would be a pity if I can’t share the joy I feel everyday when I listen to music. I am sure you would agree that the only way in which we can make the world a better place, is by music. So here we are. We will talk a lot about music,
