Chopin Frédéric. Nocturne in E Flat, Op. 9, No. 2. Vadim Chaimovich, 2011. Www.Youtube.com. Web.
The sense of sublime. An unusual feeling of greatness and euphoria. According to Edmund Burke, sublime can be achieved in different manners. One of which is astonishment. I believe that above all senses, music might reach the greatest sublime that our human mind, as well as body, can experience. Burke elaborated on the astonishment saying, “In this case the mind is so entirely filled with its object that it cannot entertain any other, nor by consequence reason on that object which employs it.” subliming to a point of insensibility, and finding myself to be in a stage of euphoria is what I go through when listening to music.
One example to such music is a composer named Frederic Chopin, who was a Polish composer during the Romantic Era. Chopin is well known for his piano compositions and mostly famous for a composition called Nocturne. In Nocturne the softness and melodic sweetness, are features that make one feel incredibly light-headed, as well as emotional. This happens because such music is able to tremble your emotions and make you feel calm and sensitive at the same time. The genius of Chopin, unlike other composers and musicians, is that he has these sublime melodies which make one to be magically hypnotized to the tunes and sounds of another piece of art. Therefore, being under the sublime stage happens when I listen to maestro like Frederic Chopin and his masterpiece Nocturne.
