There's always something new to learn!

When I was 16 my music teacher said "Hey Daniel that sounds a lot like Erik Satie's Gymnopedie" I didn't knew that person so I run to my computer that evening and started looking for his famous works. I fell in love with his music in the first measure.
My brother was always choosing which music was played in the house so I just listened to whatever he played in his computer and from time to time a familiar melody of Debussy could be listened. While watching The Simpsons, an orchestrated version of the theme was inserted in some episodes. When I learned that it was Clair de lune I was fascinated by some of his works.

But it wasn't until watching an anime about a pianist and a director called "Nodame Cantabile" that I found this last person, Maurice Ravel. Ravel's Piano Concerto in G major was so fascinating that I dreamed about watching it live. 

The thing is that past July I was going back home to Concepción to visit my family and a friend told me "Daniel! UdeC's orchestra is going to play Ravel's Piano Concerto in its theatre the weekend that you'll be there" I was in shock and told my mom to come with me so she could hear it too. I bought the tickets and said to her "Is at 8 o'clock pm" I didn't know that much about the protocol of those concerts at the time. When arriving at the theatre we were slightly late but thought it was nothing. At the door the guard said "You are a little late" and "I said but it started five minutes ago" and he said it was at 7 pm and he was right! The thing is that before Ravel there was another theme from Enrique Soro and just when I got in the chairs they started playing Ravel's Concerto. I was so happy!

The thing is that now I know that Ravel, Satie and Debussy were friends and were the fathers of the impressionism so I think is not that I like their particular music but that that music's period is more enticing to me. The way the notes and how they care more about the sound experience than showing off. They are awesome and I learned a lot about how a concert works. Now I go to one at least once a week. There's always something new to learn!
