Attracted by the Piano




Like there are many kinds of art techniques that have its own characteristic and beauty, Music has many musical instruments that can express its own beauty or characteristics by the sound. Do you have any musical instruments that you can play? What is your favorite instrument? In my case, the only thing that I can play is the piano and thats why the piano is one of the favorite instruments for me. (Though I really like the guitar, I cannot play it L)

It is hard to come up with the pianists except someone who is very popular such as Beethoven, Mozart etc. I also do not know many pianists but I have one whom I really like. Therefore, from now on, I am going to introduce him and his music briefly. His name is Yi Ru Ma who is a well known pianist for the new age genre (Sooooorry, I either not know the exact meaning of the new age. May be we can figure out the meaning later J). River flows in you that I uploaded above is one of the representative music of him. When you listen to the music, I am sure that you can feel some emotions coming into you because the ability that melts emotions and feelings into the music pieces is Yi Ru Mas strength. For me, when I listen or play his pieces, I always could feel some emotions from each music piece. Because of him, the pattern of my playing that usually focus on accompaniment for songs (piano was just the sidekicks for songs) not a piano piece itself changed to find and play piano pieces. In other words, I recognized the excitement of playing the piano itself not just as the assistance for some pop songs.

Whether you can play the piano or not, I think you can be touched by listening to his music. (I really hope that same things that I experience happened to you guys !) Though I really want to play the guitar these days, it is hard to abandon the piano away because the beauty and the excitement of playing the piano are infinite.
