Once you’ve become a fan of music like me, you’ll get to enjoy all kinds of music. Well, maybe not every music fan likes every type of music, but at least you like most of it. If you are a music fan who also happens to know how to make music, playing an instrument or several different types of musical instruments, then you understand it more. You do not limit your listening or appreciation to a single or just a particular type of music but rather, you learn to accept and enjoy each one or most of it. That’s what happened to me; even as I was a fan of classical music early on I eventually developed a liking for modern music as well. Right now I remain a follower of classical music, but the experience of enjoying other kinds of music has enriched me both as a fan of music and as a musician.
The musical instrument that I enjoy playing the most is the violin. Even though I am capable of playing the piano, drums, and the guitar, I still prefer the violin. It just exudes a certain class and the music is simply so moving and I deeply feel every note, whether I am the one playing or just listening to the instrument being played. And I must admit that I am drawn to violin music by some music that tend to be a little sad, melancholy sounds that effectively take me to another place and time. The music makes me thoughtful and also allows me to reach my own personal level of musical artistry, since the usual effect would be for me to end up playing my own violin. As to my favorite violin pieces, there are actually so many that it would difficult to name just one, or even list down a few.
It is obvious that one of my favorite pastimes is to play classical violin in my spare time. There are already a few that I am already quite adept at playing, but there are a whole lot more that I still don’t know and would love to learn how to play in the future. And there are even some pieces that I am not sure if it has ever been played on violin, or maybe has already been played but seldom done, that I would like to have a shot at playing. An example of such music is the Fur Elise, which is simply one of Ludwig Van Beethoven’s most famous musical compositions. Now I would like to learn how to play Fur Elise on violin, as I was unsure if that could be done at all. Fortunately, I was assured that it is indeed possible, and that it only needs to be arranged for the violin and then I could proceed to play it using my fiddle.
