Blog Post 1: Your Art Experience

The experience occurred when I was visiting the Kennedy Center a few years ago. I heard the unaccompanied Bach Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major: Prelude. The sound of a lone cello is very relaxing, but not like a physical relaxation. When I listen to the lone cello it feels like my thoughts are being organized. It has helped me to sit and listen to it in times of stress. My favorite cellist is Yo-Yo Ma, especially playing the Bach Cello Suite. Yo-Yo Ma plays it in a way that is almost mathematical, he goes from one note to another very naturally. I think when the cello is played this way it has a very unique appeal that other music doesn't.
