关于音乐之与生活，我看过最好的描述

来自电影Liberal Arts中的一封信，男主感谢女主向他介绍古典音乐，十分让人感同身受，也和最近很火的Soul有异曲同工之妙，网上找到了脚本，抄录留存如下：

"Dear Zibby,

I can't thank you enough for introducing me to this music. Beyond just genuinely loving it, I feel it's quietly altering my feeling about New York City, with which I've always had a slightly conflicted relationship.

I've found that if you replace the horns and the shouting with, say, Schubert or Telemann, the city becomes unbearably beautiful. After years of thinly disguised rage on both our parts, it's like the music has mediated a truce between us.

Some early favorites. Massenet's Meditation. If a more beautiful piece of music has ever been composed, I don't know it.That Brandenburg concerto is no joke, and I echo your sentiment regarding Beethoven. I have no idea what the Vivaldi piece from Giustino is actually about, but to me, it suggests deception, some kind of elegant double-crossing. It makes me feel like I'm a double agent knee-deep in some kind of sexy espionage. I've decided the Wagner overture you included should come with a warning label. According to some quick online research, the opera deals with the struggle between sacred and profane love, which is arguably the only struggle there is.

The other day, I was crossing the street, lost in my head about something, a not uncommon state of affairs. I was listening to the overture, and as the music began to swell, I suddenly realized that I had hands and legs and a torso and that I was surrounded by people and cars. It's hard to explain exactly what happened. But I felt in that moment that the divine, however we may choose to define such a thing, surely dwells as much in the concrete and taxicabs as it does in the rivers, lakes, and mountains.

Grace, I realized, is neither time-nor place-dependent. All we need is the right soundtrack. I suppose this new infusion of music in my life is, at the very least, making me reconsider my hostility to dead, white males. And I've you to thank for that.

How's things, by the way?

Your friend,

Jesse Fisher
