Well done, and now let’s read the text about music and its role in our life.

THE GENTLE ART

Music, as we all know, is an indiscriminate mixture of melody, harmony and rhythm which most people enjoy in one or other of its many forms. Even animals like it too, except dogs.

Its chief value is as a harmless drug. People use pills, drinks, cigarettes, money and religion to shut the general nastiness of life out of their minds for a time. Music has a similar effect and hurts no-one.

Very rarely we hear music when professional gentlemen in tail-coats in large concert halls are playing. It is only a very small percentage of the music. Most of it is pouring out of radios, television sets, CD-players and cunningly hidden speakers.

Housewives like to play records, teenagers play primitive music at a terrific volume, motorists do not want to go mad in traffic jams and listen to any music from the radio, visitors in expensive restaurants like soft music, the average man after his working day spends many evenings in an armchair, he is gazing into space, while the music that he thinks he enjoys splashes around him like a warm bath.

In this sense, music is quite a good thing. It probably saves a lot of trouble in the world. We shall never know how many minor wars have not begun by someone who was knocking hell out of a piano or a primitive drum instead.

One must not think that music is just simply for enjoyment. Music is one of the “arts”. And anything that is an art is no longer a simple pleasure. Art is a by-product of civilization.

It is interesting to know that the first professional musician was the court halhallatu player (reed-pipist) in some ancient Mesopotamian palace. People criticized him heavily in the daily newspapyrus and he may even have lost his head as a result. An art gives employment to a whole lot of people. Someone made a very rich living out of it. Someone made money out of criticism. Everyone is a critic. Everyone can understand music, can’t he?

                                     VI.            Письмо.

1. What is music? Is it a mixture of anything?

5. How often do we hear professional musicians in large concerts?
