The screeching of my violin echoed off the wall as I struggled to play Mendelssohn's concerto in E minor. The double stops that were meant to flow in harmony came out in a jumbled mass of notes indistinguishable from the shriek of a dying cow. I whimpered as these terrible sounds emitted out of my violin, and threw my violin down in defeat. I slowly tilted my head towards the clock, a terrifying reminder that my addition was only 10 min away. I gathered up my music, and ambled away from the…

I am a guy that is big on music. Ever since I was a kid, I found music as a getaway tool and a stress reliever. Music is a very big part in my life and i can't go a day without listening to music.

I was about to catch a classical music concert performed by the students of the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music. As I walked to my seat, I immediately noticed the abundance of spotlights present. I figured that spotlights were able to give a warm atmosphere as were able to show the audience where the focus ought to be. I also noticed a convex wall behind the stage that was draped with curtains. I could not…

including the first one with Albert Coates in 1930, the second one with Serge Koussevitsky in 1950, the well-known recording with Fritz Reinerin 1951, and the live recording with Eugene Ormandy in 1978. As the first recording of the third piano concerto, Horowitz played with many his own musical interpretations.
