I have a CD at home. It's old, and battered. I've listened to it, literally, over a thousand times. I've downloaded its contents down to an equally loved iPod nano, however for some reason I prefer listening to the music through the speakers of a CD player that has been around since before I was born.
A former teacher once told me that music is something that is best appreciated with the ears, without the use of other senses, but I think I may have to disagree. When I listen to Yo-Yo Ma playing Ennio Morricone's music, I think I can almost feel the music moving like water--when you try to hold it for too long, it just trickles out of your hands. I can see the colors and images of the music, of the notes, of the melody.
Watch these videos, and see if you can hear/feel/see what I see. :)
Thanks to zuccherohk for these videos.
