Music in Our Life - Музыка в нашей жизни

It's difficult to speak about music in general, because it will either take a lot of time or just one sentence to explain our attitude. Music is an integral part of our life. It is varied because it reflects different human emotions. If we ask several people what kind of music they like, all of them will give different answers. Tastes differ. But the world of music is boundless and everybody can find there something that satisfies his tastes and demands. And all the people will agree that our world will be dull without music. We enjoy music because it influences our mood and imagination, reflects our inner state and character, arouses deep emotions and makes us think. It helps us to remove from tiredness and tension or find new strength, get new energy and optimism.

That's why we can say that all kinds of music are popular with public: classical and pop music, folk music and jazz, operas, musicals, orchestral performances, chamber music, rock and roll, heavy metal, rap, rock, hard rock, rave and so on. For this reason music festivals which are held annually gather large audience.

As for me, I enjoy both classical music and variety show. Some people say, it is difficult to understand classical music. But I've never been scared by the fact. I enjoy music if it appeals to me. I'm fond of P. I. Chaikovsky, Bach, Mozart. Among contemporary composers I appreciate A. Lloyd Webber and his musicals and rock operas.

If you want to know my preferences in pop music, among singers or pop groups, I won't be able to name any. For variety is variety, I like to listen to different songs, to watch different singers, to hear something new. But I prefer tuneful melodies, easy to remember, light and sometimes haunting.
