The Language Of Music Is One That All Arts Aspire To…

It was Schopenhauer who first said that all arts aspire to the condition of Rosetta Stone V3 music. What he was referring to was the abstract qualities of music. The path between music and audience is a direct one, without the intervention of a medium of communication that is used for other everyday purposes, which is unlike many other art forms! The architect expresses himself in buildings, which have some utilitarian purpose. The poet uses words, which we use on a daily basis in conversation. The painter usually expresses himself by representing what he sees i.e. the visible world. Only the composer of music is perfectly free to create a work of art out of his own consciousness, which performs no function, other than to please.A testimony to the mystical nature of music is the unknown Polish classical composer whos Symphony of Sorrowful Songs sold more than pop icon, Madonna, in the year it was released and more than any other classical composer in the entire history of the world! However, this remarkable achievement only occurred 17-years after he composed it.Polish Composer in TranslationThe composers name is Henryk Gorecki and his Rosetta Stone Greek success is nothing short of a miracle. When he wrote the symphony (his 3rd) in 1976, he and his wife were declared non-persons under the communist regime and their passports were confiscated. His name was unknown, and according to records in Poland, he did not even exist. Gorecki had been born in Czernica, in the coal-mining belt of Silesia on The Czechoslovakian border. It is 20-minutes from the town Oswiecim, which the Germans would later name Auschwitz. This piece of music was so inspired, as to be a warning to future generations and to bear witness to what had occurred there. Corecki commented: The fact that 17 years later, it seems young people all over the world have heard what I said, and understood: that my warning will not go forgotten into the world.Beauty and hope are firmly embedded in this piece of music that is played by taxi drivers and royalty alike. 300 000 copies were sold worldwide when it was released, unheard of for a classical piece which would hopefully sell 10 to 20.000 copies in a lifetime, and thats about it.A Symphony Rosetta Stone Portuguese V3 of International ValueThe road to fame of the Symphony of Sorrowful Songs is an interesting one.
