[ violin ]
(english below)En un curioso experimento, Joshua Bell, quien es el mejor violinista del mundo de nuestro tiempo, toco incognito como un vago en la estacion del metro L’Enfant Plaza en Washington, D.C. Uso un violin de $3.5 millones de dolares y toco las mejores piezas del mundo incluyendo
“Chaconne” from Bach’s Partita No. 2 en D Menor.
De 1097 personas que pasaron por ahi, solo un hombre lo reconocio. Solo dos escucharon su musica. Y cada niño que intento escucharlo fue reprendido por su padre o madre.
Nadie tiene tiempo de apreciar la belleza que nos rodea a diario. No sabemos apreciar la belleza ya sea diminutiva o lo mas bello que el hombre ha creado.
In a curious experiment, Joshua Bell, one of the top violinists of our time, played as an incognito street player at the metro station L’Enfant Plaza in Washington, D.C. He used one of the most expensive violins in the world ($3.5 million) and played some of the greatest pieces of music including “Chaconne” from Bach’s Partita No. 2 in D Minor.
Among 1,097 people who passed by, only one recognized him and only a couple more were drawn to his music. However, every single child who passed by attempted to stop and listen, before being hastened on by their parents. For his nearly 45 minute performance, Bell collected $32.17 (not counting $20 from a passerby who recognized him).
“At a music hall, I’ll get upset if someone coughs or if someone’s cellphone goes off. But here, my expectations quickly diminished. I started to appreciate any acknowledgment, even a slight glance up. I was oddly grateful when someone threw in a dollar instead of change.” This is from a man whose talents can command $1,000 a minute.
