Features: Without beauty and joy in life, one may fail to recognize the value of life and thus fail to maintain the quality of life. Music, words, and images that contain truth possess immense power to move us. "Art creates beauty, and beauty inspires us with more love. That is why we need it," said Edward Abbey. The perfect fragrance of roses in Darby's works (Abraham Darby) or the violin sonata in G major K.216 by Mozart that drifts from the sound can become reasons to touch and satisfy life. Wonderful music is a guarantee of happiness and the door to a complete life process. Every great piece of music reminds us that we can indeed transcend the limitations of the self. When this feeling extends outward, we also gain a clearer understanding of our actions. I have said much, but I only hope these ideas and music resonate with your experiences. At the end of each chapter, I provide specific music to listen to and suggestions on how to appreciate it. Of course, it also includes some perhaps new ways of listening for you. When you read and listen, try to open your heart. When you begin to resonate with the feelings implied in the notes, you will find your mind soaring. I hope this book can help you choose better music, know how to listen, and understand why to listen...
