Music

Some of the more interesting music I hear these days are in the realms of classics. Aside from the commonly heard masterpieces like the Schubert's the Death and the Maiden, (I love the iterations of the Alban Berg string quartet), some of the more repetitious modern iterations have a peculiar charm of their own, about how they use the simplest of tunes and simplest of compositions yet creates a rich gradient of emotions and worlds drawn in the air.

I do not claim any kind of profound understanding of the medium of music, but I think I should hold such achievements in very high regard. It's like some of the paintings of Mark Rothko I love so much. A simplest visual art with simplest composition, yet deceptively complex and rich in profound philosophy and innuendo. They are like little windows, that might not mean much by themselves yet the things on the other side... There are whole worlds of thoughts and emotions, the indescribable feelings of aesthetic catharsis.
