I am a boy who loves baroque music, especially the works of Johann Sebastian Bach. At my age, loving classical music is seen as an exceptional taste, but I don't agree with this. For me, age is irrelevant when it comes to music. The most important thing about listening to classical music is to have a heart of godliness.
Bach is considered now to be one of the greatest musicians ever. Why is that? I feel it is because of his devotion towards god. Bach had devoted his whole life to revealing the glory of the lord by music. Composing, for Bach, was a way to connect the divine world and the mortal world. Similarly, I have devoted my musical taste and life towards listening to Bach's music. In other words, the way I view Bach is how Bach viewed god. With this same kind of piety, I am able to connect with Bach on an emotional level, which allows me to overcome the difficulties and frustrations I face in life. I consider myself to be very similar to Bach because we are both persistent in setting and achieving goals.
The spirit of Bach's music inspires me and helps me to face my life with a new determination to fulfill my goals. It is evident that Bach's music has and will continue to shape my life in years to come.
If you're able to listen to classical music with emotion even just once, I know that you'll find a new positive influence in your life just as I did.
我是一个喜爱巴洛克音乐的男孩，尤其是约翰·塞巴斯蒂安·巴赫的作品。在我这个年龄，喜爱古典音乐似乎是一种特别的品位。我不这样认为，我认为在音乐的问题上年龄是无关紧要的。聆听古典音乐最重要的是要有一颗虔诚的心。
巴赫如今被认为是有史以来最伟大的音乐家之一，为什么？我认为是因为他对上帝的虔诚。巴赫一生都致力于显露上帝的荣光。作曲对他来说是一种联系天国与世俗世界的方式。相似的是，我也将自己的音乐品位与生活投入到聆听巴赫当中。换句话说，巴赫之于我就如同上帝之于巴赫。这种同样的虔诚使我可以与巴赫在感情上交流，使我可以度过生活中的困境与难关。我发现我与巴赫有些相似，因为我们都在设立与达到目标的方面异常执着。
巴赫音乐的精神鼓舞并帮助我使我可以以一种新的实现目标的决心面对生活。可以肯定的是，巴赫的音乐已经并会持续长期影响我的生活。
假如你可以带着感情聆听古典音乐，哪怕只有一次。我保证你一定会发现同我一样的对生活的正面影响。
