Thought provoking and educational talk on one of the most beautiful pieces ever composed. Thank you
Too often I hear violinist play this too fast, in my estimation. I hear it with a slower meditative tempo when I play it. How lovely to hear it played this way and to hear the thought that went into it. I love this.

Heyyy, it’s Dr Sung!!!! So good!!
entertainment is a desired effect of performance arts but not the primary goal, and that the primary goal is to transport the individual in the audience into another parallel reality, full of wonder, where he experiences the essence of his own consciousness, and reflects on spiritual and moral questions. - Natya Shastra
This is a very good summary of music theory and communication.
Amazing piece, brilliant talk and performance and talk about those beautiful Brazilian Portuguese captions! Helped me a lot, it's not often you see that skill on translation.
Love love love the topic! I just started violin classes.

He’s a really great teacher, his studio is the mystery school down the hall from my professor!
Is it sad that I enjoy this and other classical music more than most pop music

Antonio Munoz Ballester Meditation from Thaïs. I'm playing it right now. 🙃
After wanting for ages to play the violin I found Ajana Music Lessons and this appears to be the top online method (check it out on google)
Violin grates on my nerves. Viola sounds so much better, and Cello can be magical. I realize it is individual preference...just my 2 cents.
I am sorry but the violin and the piano do not speak to my soul. It's not flowing enough. The piano pounds from one note to another and the violin is to high in it's sound most of the time. It squeaks to much. This pounding and squeaking breaks the meditative state. But meditationing to Native American flute music is perfect. That always speaks to my soul. That being said, I feel there is a difference between meditation and getting lost in some beautiful music. This is just my opinion.
very nice you said that music takes you to high spheres...where the mysteries of creation live... very good intention benjamin but talking too much... doesn´t help...analizing too much either...jokes less...too much forced applause even less...never ask for applause even if for another musician let it come naturally you play very nice, just please let silence and and the muse talk more
