Amadeus
I thought that this was a very interesting movie. One
of the things that I noticed right off is that when Antonio
Salieri was playing his own pieces I had never heard any of
them. As soon as he played Mozarts however, it was
something that I recognized hearing before.
I found it funny that when Mozart was young he wrote
all these pieces and was considered to be so great ...

My concert review took me to a new wave of music. I went to a concert at Bucks where a band named Yelon was playing.

Arts: Music essays / Are Societies Ill's The Fault Of Rock Music?
Rock has been blamed for many things in society such as rape, murder, and suicide. It's human nature to both need a reason for why something happens, and to pass the blame to someone and/or something else.

Throughout my life, music has always been a major influence. It has the power to change my mood when I’m feeling down, but the thing I find most intriguing about music is that it doesn’t always end up improving your mood: like all forms of art, it imitates life, which is not always portrayed in a positive light.
