Leonard Bernstein: Young People's Concerts | What Does Music Mean (Part 1 of 4)

my Aunt would turn on the tv on Sundays(?) afternoons when
we resided in NY...and my own organ/piano lessons got better and
better or I, at six got a bit better...I loved Bernstein, and my Aunt
and still do...and the music...always the music...good memories!
There, now you know more...Greco

Plot: Leonard Bernstein told the television audience at the start of the first young People's Concert: "No matter what stories people tell you about what music means, forget them. Stories are not what music means. Music is never about things. Music just is. It's a lot of beautiful notes and sounds put together so well that we get pleasure out of hearing them. So when we ask, 'What does it mean; what does this piece of music mean?' we're asking a hard question. Let's do our best to answer it." During the course of this first program the New York Philharmonic performs portions of Rossini's William Tell Overture, Beethoven's Sixth Symphony, and Ravel's La Valse.


Leonard Bernstein: Young People's Concerts | What Does Music Mean (Part 3 of 4)

this is Part 3, and wanted to post it because of Bernstein's use of painting as
an example...except, a painter can see images in music...yes. And for me, the
music led me to color, images...and other mysterious things...smiling...enjoy.

Glenn Gould and Leonard Bernstein: Bach's Keyboard Concerto No. 1 in D minor

if you've "traveled" with me this afternoon through all the treasures of
pianists and learning about music, don't stop now, watch this to the end,
watch Gould seduce the piano with Bach...you, my friend, will understand.

And go to last posts on page 14 for more genius pianists.

Quit social media | Dr. Cal Newport | TEDxTysons

"Cal Newport is an Assistant Professor
of Computer Science at Georgetown University.
In addition to studying the theoretical foundations
of our digital age, Newport also writes about the
impact of these technologies on the world of work.
His most recent book, "Deep Work", argues that
focus is the new I.Q. in the modern workplace and
that the ability to concentrate without distraction
is becoming increasingly valuable. He previously
wrote So Good They Can’t Ignore You, a book which
debunks the long-held belief that “follow your passion”
is good advice, and three popular books of unconventional
advice for students.
