Musik!



Did you know, that the Music Industry, is the Worlds Largest [as based on really, Consumerism].
Did you know, that Music, helps one highly improve, the 8 Multiple Intelligences?
Did you know, it takes one, 15 years of constant practise, to master the Violin [as with playing it, naturally, and not, casually].
Did you know, that the Symphony, is the highest form, of Musical Expression?
Did you know, that most popularly known Musical Instruments, are of European/Italian origins [but especially really, Italian]



that while, the Americans, had the Kettle Drum, the South Americans, had the Horn, the African, the Drum, the Indians the Sitar, the Chinese the Ruan, and the Japanese, the Koto, the Europeans (or the Italians really), had the Violin, Cello, Piano, Flute/Clarinet, the Spanish Guitar (which is actually too, of Italian origins) [and used for Opera], the Drum Set, the Oboe, the Lute, the Organ, and finally even, the Piccolo.

On the otherhand, the Bagpipes, the Harpsichord and Harp, have their origins, in Egypt. The Greeks had the Lyre, while the Accordion, has its origins, in Spain.

Why the History of Music remains important, is because, it has always been the History, of Order in Society [whether it be, Religious, Social, or even Political] (and even including, societal stratification, of all forms).
