Pastor

I don’t know how a Christmas carol differs from a pastor. I don’t distinguish notes, I don’t understand the difference between tone music and atonal music; why folk music is based on something other than non-folk music. I really like music. I catch every music all over the place, in the greatest noise. In high school, I decided to make up for my musical impairment by urgently forking out the history of music from the textbook. I studied what is program chanson and madrid, who is Wenceslas of Szamotuł and Nicholas Gomółka.

But learning this without listening was a futile effort. I learned that Chopin drew a lot of inspiration from folk music in his compositions. But somehow he processed folk themes into classics, so this folk in his music kind of is, but it’s not there. I also remembered from my high school teachings that the great accomplishion of the Young Polish period was a piano piece entitled “Harnasie”, written by K. Szymanowski and in which he somehow combined folk and classical music.

I had no idea what the difference between musical drama and opera was, and why Mr. Nietzsche valued Wagner so much. This is somewhat reminiscent of the difference between THE LAW IN KIND AND THE OBLIGATION. It is impossible to understand the meaning of this difference by reading definitions. Definitions lead only the mind astray. You have to play and sing.
