 The choice of music that I'm going to play for you all completely unwarmed up and I don't know what's going to come out but choice of music that I think is appropriate for every occasion is Bach and Bach is one of those composers that speaks to us on such a universal basic truth that it's appropriate for every occasion. It can be a funeral or a wedding. It's so interesting that the same music can be played at both. And as much as I love Tchaikovsky and the romantic, those are much more specific story driven and different kind of emotions that you certainly wouldn't feel appropriate playing Romeo and Juliet at someone's funeral. So Bach is something above maybe Shakespeare's funeral. So Bach would be a choice for pretty much every occasion. Anyone that I want to introduce even to someone who doesn't know music, I think Bach they could connect with it on some level and you can never go wrong. Well, I'm going to play for you as I mentioned the Bach Chacon. It's probably one of the most famous pieces written for the instrument. Many of you who enjoy classical music will know the piece. But I won't lecture about it but just a few words about it. It's an astounding piece that fascinated composers, all the composers that lived after Bach from Mendelssohn to Schumann they were all fascinated particularly with this Chacon which is part of a suite written for the solo violin. It's a suite of five movements partida but it's four very short movements and then all of a sudden the end of this partida is this huge Chacon which is longer than the other four movements combined. It's sort of one wonders why he did this. The proportions were so unusual. He wrote this supposedly right after his wife died but it's not a lament as I said before, music of Bach could be played at a funeral or a wedding this is not music that puts hard on its sleeve and laments his wife's passing. This is something much more spiritual and I think more special. The Chacon, what a Chacon means it's a kind of a dance that's in three, a broke dance but it's a device actually that takes a small musical figure. It's actually a series of chords just a few chords and in this case it's four bars of music and then the composer then does variations on these four bars. It's sort of like a theme in variations but instead of a theme it's just a chord progression and this allows an incredible amount of creativity what you can do with just four chords. Bach takes over the course of, it's about 13 or 14 minutes, it's quite a long piece in fact one of the longest single movements ever written at that time but he takes us just through variations, 64 variations on a very simple thing. He takes us through an entire range of human emotion from tragedy, loss, redemption, spirituality, all these things and it's really an incredible piece. It's in three parts. You can kind of keep an ear open for sort of three segments that go right into each other but you can notice the middle one is a major key and this is sort of I see that it's sort of a glimpse of God the sun shines sort of coming through. It goes from D minor to D major and this is the middle section. When you get to that point you're halfway through and then it has this major section and then it goes back to D minor at the end and I won't say any more about it but it's the most revered piece, also very difficult piece and particularly difficult to play after talking for an hour but I'll see you then.
