Something to think about... We Are Missing A Lot In Life
A man sat at a metro station in Washington DC and started to play the violin
; it was a cold January morning. He played six Bach pieces for about 45
minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, it was calculated that 1,
100 people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.
Three minutes went by, and a middle aged man noticed there was musician
playing. He slowed his pace, and stopped for a few seconds, and then hurried
up to meet his schedule.
A minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a woman threw
the money in the till and without stopping, and continued to walk.
A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him, but
the man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late
for work.
The one who paid the most attention was a 3 year old boy. His mother tagged
him along, hurried, but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally,
the mother pushed hard, and the child continued to walk, turning his head
all the time. This action was repeated by several other children. All the
parents, without exception, forced them to move on.
In the 45 minutes the musician played, only 6 people stopped and stayed for
a while. About 20 gave him money, but continued to walk their normal pace.
He collected $32. When he finished playing and silence took over, no one
noticed it. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.
No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the most
talented musicians in the world. He had just played one of the most
intricate pieces ever written, on a violin worth $3.5 million dollars.
Two days before his playing in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out at a theatre
in Boston where the seats averaged $100.
This is a real story. Joshua Bell playing incognito in the metro station was
organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment about
perception, taste, and priorities of people. The outlines were: in a
commonplace environment at an inappropriate hour: Do we perceive beauty? Do
we stop to appreciate it? Do we recognize the talent in an unexpected
context?
One of the possible conclusions from this experience could be:
If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians
in the world playing the best music ever written, how many other things are
we missing? | a*f

初听比较晦涩，如果之前没仔细听过的话是不会觉得特别好听的，而且那中嘈杂的场合
不适合演奏这样深沉的曲子。我觉得只能说明这四十五分钟里面没有古典音乐爱好者经
过，并不过代表人们不再为自己喜欢的东西停留。不过我在DC呆过半年多，那个地方给
我的印象就是以很实际的人为主，街上大多数人都是西装革履，不会为街头艺人停留也
是正常的。 | C******d
发帖数: 1022 | 3 昨天坐地铁就有个自吹自唱（布鲁斯口琴）的老头，我靠在旁边柱子看了一会儿，车来
了我就走了。有几次这种情况，我也会纠结地想，也许再等下一班车，也不差这么几分
钟，也许还能拍到不错的照片。
某个地铁站出口每周日晚上会有个人固定在表演，以前天气好的时候我有时候会专门去
看。
说实话像视频里这个地点，我不会停下来的。

也许拍摄者一时感动，或者看到了什么故事，
但是拍下来再给别人看，别人就不一定能感受到了

Bell被一个日本人认出,就是video里最后拿白塑料袋的,
她给了$20 | b*******e
发帖数: 6482 | 15 这是NY Times和Joshua Bell在5年前？打得一个赌，故事还挺有趣的。
但作为街头艺人丫差远了。选歌忒不认真。
他要是能拉MJ的Beat it，绝对无数人回头。
拉个莫扎特的40回头率都回比这首高。
