Summary Comments : [TED] The transformative power of classical music | Benjamin Zander

Di*********:

This is no ordinary music lesson. Benjamin Zander is so expressive!
This is one of my top TED talks, bringing home the emotional effect of classical music through a magnificent blend of music and vivid explanation.

Just 3, no 4, of the things that stand out for me:
1. “Think of somebody who is no longer there, bring that person into your mind and follow the line from B to E, and you will hear everything Chopin had to say.”

2. “The job of the C is to make the B sad.”

3. “The conductor depends for his power on the ability to make other people powerful.” Such a leadership lesson.

4. “The definition of success: how many shining eyes do I have around me?”

Zo***:

12 years later, 2020 in this pandemic time, working from home on Monday morning. Youtube pop this up in my feed and I'm wondering should I watch a 20 minutes long Ted video before work?
After watching it for two minutes, I decided to finish watching it, and then at 16 minutes, thinking about all these difficult times in my heart, cries so hard to breathe.

Mi******:

This man is definitely The Doctor...

Yo********:

LI*************:

Back when Ted had quality people on

Da*********:

"The conductor of an orchestra doesn't make a sound. He depends for his power on his ability to make other people powerful. My job is to awaken possibility in other people. And if their eyes are shining, then you can know you're doing it! and if they are not shining, you can ask yourself the question, who am I being that my players' eyes are not shining? Who are we being as we go out into the world. Success is about how many shining eyes I have around me. It really makes a difference what we say, the words that come out of our mouth." Shining Eyes!!!

Er*********:

Classical music will never die

Sa********:

He's basically explaining how music told stories.

Th****************:

In Elementary School, we had an elderly music teacher named Mrs Guilford who this man could definitely pass as the male version of her. She brought in keyboards and let kids stay after school if they liked to play piano. In that sense, she gave music lessons for free. I did my best to stay behind every day after school and play these wonderful songs. She would connect music to the daily struggles we all deal with, even showing us a video of an Olympic runner who got injured during a race whose father came down to help him go the rest of the way. She’d make sure everyone was cared for and treated right. One time, we even got to perform a couple songs at a nursing home after she had proclaimed “A day without music is a day wasted.” She made up her own songs for class and would teach us about other cultures and their musical styles. In fact, she was so nice, one time way after school we were playing at the school’s playground and she came outside and asked my whole family if they’d like to come in and play on the keyboards she kept in her room. My dad is from Pakistan and so they talked about music from that part of the world, and incorporated music from that part of the world into the next day’s class. She represented music notes with coins, and made her own stories for each note. She will forever be my favorite music teacher I’ve ever had, and I’m so happy to have found this video.

lc*****:

I hate this anti-music movement that's trying to do to classical music what the so-called intellectuals or modernists did to art. This is the musical equivalent of just slopping anything on the canvas and calling it "art".

Composers who were geniuses and far greater than this stand-up hack put time signatures, as well as tempo and dynamic markings in their works because they were meant to be played a specific way. Yes, certain notes or chords were supposed to be emphasized for the rhythm, texture, tone, and overall emotional signature of a piece of music. To ignore all this and play a classical piece with self-imposed erratic tempo and dynamic changes simply because you think the original interpretation is "boring" is to ruin the very structure of classical music and dishonor the intent and memory of the composers who meant for us hear their creations as they experienced them. The audacity of this guy to think he could improve upon Chopin or any of the masters who wrote the greatest music ever heard.

Instead of ruining the compositions of the masters with nonsensical, avant garde, and improvisational interpretations, this guy should be composing classical compositions of his own, but I think it's obvious why he's teaching and not composing.

The same thing has been happening with great works of literature produced for film and TV that are now being set in strange locations, with inappropriate casting, and lots of modern political agenda injected into the dialogue that the original authors would never have imagined or approved. But who cares? They're dead, and their work is in the public domain, so we can do anything we want with it to forward our own agenda. Who cares about their legacy? Let's get "creative". Ugh. And the war against art marches on.

JM********:

love this man’s philosophy re classical music and impacting other peoples lives... be the one to bring the light. Not a fan of long videos (over 4 minutes), but given his wisdom, spirit and musical grace, could easily have watched another 1/2 hour. Walking away with new-found interest in classical music and search for my way of bringing light to eyes of those around me. Thank you and Chopin; i thought of my kind, loving mother that my life was blessed with; lost her 10 yrs ago... Thank you, Truly.
