Mozart is as close to God as you can get.
Contemporary bands and musicians are overshadowing classical music geniuses such as Mozart. I want to change this. My goal is to introduce more teenagers to classical music so they can be touched by its beauty like I was. I used to be a fan of contemporary music but after discovering classical music I surrendered it entirely because I thought classical music was so much better.

If I can get even one person to consider classical music for all its worth then I know I was successful in my quest and I can be happy that my efforts made a difference. Classical music is a beautiful thing and people will never realize what they are missing until they give it a chance and try it. People need to go against the norm and be different than their peers. Stop living in the dark ages and enlighten yourself. Open up your mind and realize that there are other types of music out there. Classical music is unappreciated and composers are not respected like they used to be. All I ask of people is to give classical music a chance and if they dislike it they are free to go back to whatever music they liked before. Just give it a chance. Please post a message on my channel if you recently decided to dive into the world of classical music and you would like some information on classical history or famous pieces to check out. Thanks

You all may notice my background is from a Caribbean setting. I wanted to try to show the world what I see when I listen to classical music. It took me a very long time to find the perfect picture. When you look at that picture you see the world I fly away to when I hear beautiful classical music. This picture pretty accurately portrays this world. The powerful, deep, beautiful ocean represents the music which posesses all of these qualities. The infinite ocean also represents the infinite number of classical pieces out there that are just waiting to be discovered. The endless line of chairs also helps reinforce this concept.
The green plants represent the emotional and personal impact that classical music has on us. It impacts us every single day. The plants also represent the mortal side of classical music which has to do with the composers who create it. Composers live and die but the music lives on forever. The plants are like the composers. The plants will eventually die, but the ocean which represents the music will be here for eternity.

PERFECTION IS AN ASYMPTOTE! You can get infinitely closer and closer to it by doing everything just right but you can never quite achieve it.

X is work.
Y is play.
Z is keep your mouth shut." - Albert Einstein

You could classify me as an environmentalist. I am a pantheist and when it comes to politics I would consider myself a follower of the ideals of the green party of the U.S. which makes sustainability an important, key issue. I believe in a God but this is a pantheistic God which no religion, especially Christianity, can fully explain or comprehend. This is a God which you can only see through the laws of physics, mathematics, logic, and reasoning. This is the God that such notable individuals as Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking believe in. I love math more than any other school subject. It is the only school subject that requires critical thinking and analysis. There is just something mystical about continuing further and further down the rabbit hole to see what lies in store for me next. I am in calculus now and I intend to pursue math for many more years. Naturally, I enjoy mathematically complex music as well. Bach and Mozart along with many others have both been studied by mathematicians for mathematical clarity in their music. They are regarded as geniuses.

Mozart is by far my favorite composer. Mathematical clarity, balance, and transparency are the hallmarks of his work, but any simplistic notion of its delicacy masks the exceptional power of his finest masterpieces. European music was dominated by the style galant, but because of Mozart the contrapuntal complexities of the late Baroque emerged once more, moderated and disciplined by new forms, and adapted to a new aesthetic and social milieu. He was a versatile composer and wrote in every major genre, including, but not limited to: symphony, opera, solo concerto, chamber music including string quartet and string quintet, and piano sonata. These forms were not new, but Mozart advanced the technical sophistication and emotional reach of them all. He almost single-handedly developed and popularized the Classical piano concerto. Mozart always learned voraciously from others, and developed a brilliance and maturity of style that encompassed the light and graceful along with the dark and passionate—the whole informed by a vision of humanity "redeemed through art, forgiven, and reconciled with nature and the absolute". His influence on all subsequent Western art music is profound. Beethoven wrote his own early compositions in the shadow of Mozart, of whom Joseph Haydn wrote that "posterity will not see such a talent again in 100 years". What I am trying to say is the world of music would not be the same without Mozart, and he deserves a little more appreciation and respect. Without Mozart the world of music would not have evolved as quickly as it did and we would not have contemporary music as we know it today without him.

I am questioned about my religion a lot. Let me try to explain this better. Like I said earlier, I am a pantheist. I think if you flat out say "there is no God" you are ignoring much. We know so little about the universe in the grand scheme of things that I don't think anyone can be absolutely sure that there is no God. Even Einstein believed in a somewhat Deistic impersonal God. I believe in a God which no religion can accurately describe or explain. This is a God that you can't necessarily detect but one who you can see through the beauty of nature and feel in the gentle breeze. The God which you can only see through the laws of physics, mathematics, reasoning, and logic. The odds of life developing on earth are so astronomically small that I can't see how all of this could have happened merely by chance. The way everything is interconnected makes me believe there is something bigger behind it. I believe this God created life in the universe so that each organism gets one go around. Once a certain organism dies their journey is over and they make room for new life. It is really quite beautiful when you think about it. A heaven for all organisms on earth just seems completely unfeasible. What we see, feel, smell, hear, and taste is less than 1% of reality. There could be billions or trillions of parallel universes out there which we cannot detect. I believe in a God which created the universe with a certain set of laws and rules and then let it do its own thing. He cannot break these rules and he is undetectable by science. Science is created by humans and humans are limited and flawed and imperfect by nature so that leads me to believe that to a certain extent science is limited and flawed and imperfect too and maybe not everything is as it seems. I am going to keep an open mind on this one, because it's a tough one.
