Without it, we will not wonder what perfection is.
A world with everything being perfect,
You will see that it eventually turn defect.
Imperfection is Perfection itself.
As a perfect world will be a world of complacency.
It is a world which lacks the joy of the Aha moments.
It is a world which lacks the breath taking [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=joycelee.wordpress.com&blog=141287&post=708&subd=joycelee&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[《My Way》是一首欧美著名英文流行曲，旋律源自法国名曲Comme d&#8217;habitude（一如往日），法文原版由克罗德·法兰索瓦（Claude François）、雅克·赫霍（Jacques Revaux）及吉尔·提伯（Gilles Thibaut）在1967年共同创作，随后由保罗·安卡（Paul Anka）改编成英文版，1969年首次收录在法兰·仙纳杜拉同名大碟，自此风靡全球。这首歌不但成为仙纳杜拉的代表作，在流行文化上亦常被用作为告别曲，表示一场表演的结束或一个人的离开。这亦是英国最受欢迎的丧礼挽曲。相比英文版哀伤的曲调，法文版的配乐则有忧伤、轻快、或摇滚版本。
My Way以一句&#8221;And now, the end is near&#8221;（现在快要离别）作开始，讲述一名快将离世的老人。他向身边的朋友回望自己的一生，讲述如何坚强、自信面对人生中的挑战。匆匆岁月中，他为很少事后悔，为自己一生顾昐自豪，走出自己的人生路：
    &#8220;And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing&#8230;&#8221;／现在泪水已干，往事如烟
    &#8220;To think, I did all that, and may I say, not in a shy way&#8221;／原来我曾做过这种事，但我不会害羞说
    &#8220;Oh no, oh no not me, I [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=joycelee.wordpress.com&blog=141287&post=683&subd=joycelee&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[光明行：二胡独奏曲，作于１９３１年春，是一首振奋人心的进行曲，旋律铿锵有力，气势豪迈，节奏富有弹性。刘天华创作此曲时曾说：“因外国人都谓我国音乐萎靡不振，故作此曲以证其误”。
在这首曲中，他借鉴了西洋音乐的进行曲曲式和转调手法，但音调风格仍然完全保持了民族音乐的语言特色，并在技法上创新立异地把小提琴跳弓、颤弓用到二胡上。调性明亮，音区的递换也极富色彩。林石城在1958年将此曲改编成琵琶曲。
乐曲浅析
乐曲敏捷欢快，生气勃勃，表达了勇往直前的进取精神和对光明前途的乐观自信。 
全曲采用复三部曲式结构，除引子和尾声外，共分四段。
引子节奏有力齐整犹如步伐，然后是小军鼓的敲击节奏和昂扬的音调；
第二段旋律优美流畅，运用内外弦不同的特性在Ｇ、Ｄ调上分别重复主题，使音乐形象更为饱满，开朗；
第三段采用重复、模进等手法，表现人们踏着矫健的步伐,昂首前进。
尾声则利用颤音的特殊效果再现第二段的主题并加以扩展，最后又出现模拟军号声的主三和弦分解旋律，使全曲生气勃勃，充满积极向上，不断进取的乐观精神和探索光明的坚定信念。

		<description><![CDATA[Sun Wenming&#8217;s &#8220;Song of Flowing Waves&#8221; (Liú bō qǔ  流波曲)
二胡曲，盲艺人孙文明的流落异乡困苦生活的自我写照，乐声凄苦缠绵深沉，表现感情真挚。
　　流波曲：二胡曲，是盲艺人孙文明的代表曲，是他流落异乡困苦生活的自我写照，把自已比作默默流逝的水波，借琴声倾吐痛苦的心声，凄苦缠绵深沉，表现感情真挚。
　　乐曲结构短小，结构布局合理，特性音调贯穿全曲，起到点题作用，并以此把全曲划分为五个段落：
　　第一段旋律向上引发，旋即下落，表达了欲诉还休的痛苦。
　　第二段在高音区上作多次八度来回跳跃，抑扬有致，深沉悱恻。
　　第三段是进一步发展了前段的乐思，表达了作者对现实生活的愤懑不平。
　　第四段进入高音区，是一个展开性段落，因受阿炳曲《二泉映月》的影响，出现与其相似的旋律。
　　第五段融合了一、二段的特性音调，以第一段的末句作为乐曲的终止。全曲节奏舒缓，首尾呼应。
