I remember watching the St. Joseph symphony in awe when our music class went there on a field trip in elementary school. The musicians put so much emotion into the music, swaying their bodies smoothly with the slow, legato music or jerking their bow arm abruptly with fast, staccato notes. Each note pieced together a story, and portrayed an emotion. I am so fascinated when I close my eyes and imagine what the purpose behind the composition was. Other times, I simply listen and enjoy, and have the peace of mind from knowing that there is still beauty in the world. Watching the passion that the people in the symphony had, it inspired me, and I knew I wanted to pursue music. When I was 11 years old, I started playing the guitar, and then a year later the violin. I have now even looked into piano, and hope to soon start playing that as well. Music isn't just a hobby, or just something that I listen to for enjoyment. It has become a part of me, and I hope to one day be the one in the symphony that can tell stories through notes and inspire others. This song relates to me in a deeper way because it combines a modern song ( All My Secrets Away) and Beethoven, a classical musician. Even though I live in modern times, I prefer Beethoven over rap any day.
