115) Violinist The paint of Van Hove is
classic as are classical music, classic literature, classical dance, classical voice ... About
music and classical musician, here is a lovely story that I have a friend American:
"
A violinist in the subway 
A man in a subway station in Washington, DC began playing the violin. It's January in the morning and it's cold. He played six pieces by Bach for about 45 minutes. Meanwhile, as a rush hour, thousands of people pass through the station, towards their place of work for most of them. Three minutes
pass and a middle-aged man noticed that a musician is playing. He slowed his pace and stop a few seconds, then rush to be on time.
A minute later, the violinist gets his first dollar, a woman threw money in his box by the way, without stopping.
few minutes later still, someone leans against the wall to listen, but will start again after consulting his watch. It is clearly overdue.
Whoever makes the most attention to the musician is a boy aged three years. His mother dragged him behind her, telling her to hurry, but the kid stops to look at the violinist. Finally, she pushes him mercilessly and the child starts to walk all the time by turning the head. This is reprinted with several other children. All parents, without exception, force them to move forward.
During the three quarters of an hour when the musician plays, only six people stop and stay a while. Approximately twenty people give money but continue to walk without changing their appearance. He picks up thirty-two dollars. When it's over and silence follows the music, nobody notices. No one applauded nor recognition demonstrates the violinist.
Nobody knows, but it is called Joshua Bell is one of the greatest musicians in the world. He played one of the hardest songs on a violin worth three and a half billion dollars.
Two days earlier, Joshua Bell had packed a theater in Boston where the average ticket price was a hundred dollars.
This little concert - Joshua Bell playing incognito in a subway station, was organized by the Washington Post
part of a sociological experiment on perception, taste and priorities of people with, key , the following question: In a banal
and an inappropriate hour, we perceive beauty? Do we stop to enjoy it? Do we recognize the talent?
One conclusion possible from this experience can be:
If we do not have time to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music ever written on one of the best instruments in the world - How many things do we miss?
Van Hove's classical painting IS
, The word "classical" Being taken in The Same sense as in classical music, classical literature, classical dance, classical voice ... It Is The best definition of it: classical. About
classical music and musicians, here is a pretty story that I owe an Amican friend :
A Violonist in the Metro A man sat at a metro station in Washington DC and started to play the violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, it was calculated that thousands of people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.
Three minutes went by and a middle aged man noticed there was musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried up to meet his schedule.
A minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a woman threw the money in the till and without stopping continued to walk.
A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him, but the man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work.
The one who paid the most attention was a 3 year old boy. His mother tagged him along, hurried but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk turning his head all the time This action was repeated by several other children. All the parents, without exception, forced them to move on.
In the 45 minutes the musician played, only 6 people stopped and stayed for a while. About 20 gave him money but continued to walk their normal pace. He collected $32. When he finished playing and silence took over, no one noticed it. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.
No one knew this but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the best musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written with a violin worth 3.5 million dollars.
Two days before his playing in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out at a theater in Boston and the seats averaged $100.
Joshua Bell playing incognito in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of an social experiment about perception, taste and priorities of people. The outlines were: in a commonplace environment at an inappropriate hour:
Do we perceive beauty?
Do we stop to appreciate it?
Do we recognize the talent in an unexpected context?
One of the possible conclusions from this experience "could be: If We do not
Have a moment to stop and listen to One of the best musicians in the World Playing the best music ever Plantagenet, On One Of The finest instruments in the World - How Many Other Things Are We missing?
