How do you feel when you listen to Moonlight on the Second Spring and Symphony No. 41(the Jupiter Symphony)
Appreciation
A Bing's Moonlight on the Second Spring
awakens feelings of sadness in me at first Listening to the soft sound of the erhu reminds me of the composer’s tough life.
But as the piece continues and the erhu gets stronger, I imagine A Bing becoming more determined because he wouldn't give up hope By the end, my sadness is replaced with admiration for A Bing's amazing talent.
How do you feel when you listen to Moonlight on the Second Spring and Symphony No. 41(the Jupiter Symphony)
Appreciation
Mozart's Symphony No. 41
fills me with so much energy and enjoyment. I felt so struck and amazed by it that I didn't realize the music had ended when it did. It is fun to listen to.
The uplifting and joyful music of Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 23 feels light and positive. In the piece, the tone of the piano solo changes to a melancholic one, but that does not last long before the music becomes cheerful again.
