I like romantic genre of music

music has many genres. every genres have different style. it also means different people like different genre of music. young people like jazz, r&b and pop music. maybe old people like classical or opera. actually i like many differents music genre. but romantic genre of music is my favourate.

when i am a young boy i went to enjoy a concert. but i can not remember what is name of peice. i just remeber the composer is Maurice Ravel. he is the most outstanding impressionism ccomposer in franch. maybe the first time i hear romantic music that gives me deep impression. i still can not forget.

romantic genre is not like classical and morden music. its style between this two genres. for example classical is very regularly. every piece has one mode. what key should go to what key. if composer compose do not use this mode then the piece will be wrong. and the classical genre is very consonance. morden genre is very complex. when you hear the morden music you do not know what key it will go to and piece does not have a main melody. but romantic genre is different. it has a really beautiful melody but it is not very stylized. composition technique is still very traditional, but it is not entirely in accordance with the mode. therefore, i like romantic.

i do not like something i can not understand and without a beautiful melody or very behave. i think romantic genre can touch my heart. when i hear romantic genre i feel so comfortable and my mind will follow the melody to outside. it is a little like soul leave the body and feel the world. i even know what i am thinking when i hear romantic genre.

  1. I like the way you describe what seems to happen to you when you listen to romantic music: 'it's a little like the sould leaving the body and feeling the world'. That's quite a beautiful way to express it, Peiling, because I think many of us can identify with what you've said. Music can touch us in very real ways.
