1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,880
important, why the classical music is so important to us.

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:08,080
Because I think it changes our lives in ways that we cannot even imagine.

3
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:13,680
Because we learn to listen to music and feel our own feelings very strongly,

4
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:18,600
we also begin to feel the feelings of the composers, these other people.

5
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:20,360
I mean, it's an amazing thing that someone

6
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:24,920
who's been dead for more than 100 years can, through the goodwill of a bunch

7
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:29,200
of musicians who are reproducing the score that they created,

8
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:33,680
it's like they're sitting in a room with this, pouring out their deepest feelings

9
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:38,640
about everything. So in terms of developing a sense of empathy in life,

10
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,680
I think that's a very important reason to become sensitized to art,

11
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,600
including painting and sculpture and poetry, all of the arts.

12
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:51,920
But music, I've always felt, is the most direct route into our hearts.

13
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,200
It's like an electrical force.

14
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:56,240
You can't even see it. You can't touch it.

15
00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:00,160
As Saul Feinberg always said, it's invisible. And it's not like a painting

16
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,120
that you can hang at the Philadelphia Art Museum and it will always be there.

17
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:04,760
You can go look at it whenever you want.

18
00:01:04,960 --> 00:01:08,640
This thing occurs in time and then it's gone.

19
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:10,840
