i need Mozart and Bach

Sometimes, we need, Mozart, some violin
Of a sonata, of a joyful concerto,
Sometimes, we need Bach, his genius
A cello concerto, a cantata,

Music, it is known, softens morals,
Sometimes, we need, Wagner, Berg,
A ride, a charge of the Walkyries,
We need Brahms and his symphonies,  

Sometimes, we need, Sibelius, his genius
His symphonies are treasures under the snow,
Sometimes, one needs, Mozart, Debussy,
We need a clarinet concerto, or a sonata,

Music, it is known, softens morals,
Like the sea, and distant voyages,
Sometimes, we need, Bach or Schumann,
To find peace, to distance one’s sorrows.

Music is emotive indeed Yann..I guess We do not always think? on how much it Feeds into our realitys.. I can be used in Negative ways as in 1945 when wagnerian notes were generated from Devices placed under stuka divebombers wings to heighten tension In targets of any attack.)

Yes, some of the famous works of art in music can be wonderful, Yann. I like some of so many different genres of music plus some that I really don't like. LOL..Thanks for sharing this one with us. Sara K

Music acts as a balm. We need music to calm our troubled spirits. No wonder all music maestros are remembered with reverence. A beautiful poem, dear Yaan.

Classical musicians, their music is the art of arranging sounds in time using artistic composition: Arranging sound to express emotion , we feel, we need. Your need is a fantastic genre, so get your fix! Great read xX
