Musical instruments play a truly huge role in the life of mankind. My favorite musical instrument is the piano. The first time I heard the sounds of this instrument was in childhood, when my mother played me funny songs. Apparently, even then, a love for the piano settled in my soul. Later, I often heard piano music at a music school and even learned to play this instrument myself. Now I am learning new pieces when I have free time.
The piano is a universal musical instrument. A good pianist can convey any feelings and emotions, can touch the human soul, make it happy, sad, worried. The ingenious composers have created many stunning piano pieces that will never go out of date and will always be in fashion. The piano is both the easiest and most difficult instrument to learn. It is not at all difficult to perform an uncomplicated melody on it, but it will take many years of work and perseverance to perform a serious work of the classics.
The powerful power of music over a person comes to mind when you read the story "The Blind Musician" by Vladimir Galaktionovich Korolenko. The magical, enchanting power of music is so great that the hero of this work, the boy Peter, blind from birth, has mastered the art of playing the piano. The brightest episode of the story is the one that describes an impromptu concert by a blind musician. The music spoke in a mysterious whisper of nature. The sound of the wind, the lapping of the river, the singing of birds sounded in it. The sounds intensified, grew, grew stronger. After this concert, the audience was thrilled and excited. The music had a particularly acute emotional impact on them. This episode proves once again that the possibilities of music are endless.
