Today is Brahms’ 187th birthday (Johannes Brahms is not a random pseudonym for my account…). Johannes Brahms was a german composer, and even though I don’t know many of his works and chose his name pretty randomly, I do like the most famous ones: The 3rd movement of his 3rd symphony, Hungarian Dance n5 (I don’t know any other pieces from him anyway 😳😅). I also only knew about today’s event because of Steinway & Sons’ instagram account (Steinway is for sure the most well know piano brand in the world), sorry I don’t have an infinite memory to remember every composer’s birthday 😆.

I would like to talk about instrumental music from before the 20th century. I think that the popularity of “classical music” (wrongly used by some people to describe any music that isn’t rap, jazz, pop, funk, slam, etc.) among teenagers and young adults was really at its lowest point between 1970 and 2010. But it seems to be now slowly going up again.

I would like to tell all of you, reading this, that “classical music” (which is actually composed of various other genres of music: Baroque, Classic, Romantique, Opera, atonal, serial and many others) is not as boring as your memories tell you. And I think that in general, films by telling you it’s boring, sometimes; and pop music or rap for example because it’s very different, make you feel somehow uncomfortable. But maybe each one of you should really feel the music you’re listening to and try yourself to classical music, feel the emotions it’s creating and trying to share.
So please tell me in the comments if you like “Classical music” or not and if you don’t, are you willing to try it?

Brahms.
