Everyone can love Classical

Benjamin Zander, conductor of the Boston Philharmonic, gives a lesson in loving Classical music. With a piece by Chopin, Zander digs deep under the skin of the listeners by attaching an emotion to a musical line. He plays it once with no precursor and the audience becomes bored. He plays it a second time while having the audience attach their own personal stories to the sad and weeping line and tears stream. He describes that this same presentation made kids from the ghetto cry for the very first time... classical music! Music is designed to be emotional.
