Albert Einstein 4 - Albert's Tryst With Music Poem by Geeta Radhakrishna Menon

Albert Einstein 4 - Albert's Tryst With Music

Rating: 5.0


Albert Einstein loved music.
He began lessons in playing violin
Right from the age of six.
He enjoyed music,
As a player and as a listener too.
Later, he learnt to play piano as well.
This love for music lasted throughout his life.

Albert's passion for music has been discussed
And written about by many writers and musicians.
He played his violin with much enthusiasm.
There have been both praises and criticism for his music.
A professional violinist, once remarked that
Einstein "fiddled like a lumberjack",
Many others thought that his music did not
Deserve world recognition,
As there were many great violinists,
Who were experts and played violin in a superior way!
Whatever people may have opined or remarked
About Einstein's ability to play violin,
What mattered most was his keen enjoyment of music.
Music had a soothing and calming influence on his mind.

Albert once remarked in an interview in 1929,
"If I were not a physicist,
I would probably be a musician.
I live my day dreams in music,
I see my life in terms of music.
I get most of my joy in life out of music."

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I have always been fascinated by autobiographies and biographies of some great people, who have contributed a great deal to the society and humanity as a whole. Last one year, I have been reading on the life of Albert Einstein. Here are few poems on this great ‘Spiritual Scientist'. Albert Einstein is famous for his sparkling quotes as well. There are books on his quotes too. I am concluding each poem with a famous quote of this great Scientist. Reference: Albert Einstein - A biography by Alice Calaprice & Trevor Lipscombe
