I FEEL HOPEFUL FROM MUSIC

I want to describe Sergey Prokofiev's violin concerto no.2. I'm not only learning this piece but also like it very much. Because its melody is so beatiful and characteristics of art is special. Sergey Prokofiev is Russian and lived in 20 century. So his style is so different than classical or romantic music. He uses dissonant harmomy and original orchestration. I like the second movement specially. It's andante and very lyrical. I feel hopeful and dream of live from music. He uses 2 against 3 in rhythm, melody is in the high pitch that shows violin's sweet and light sound. If player can use better vibrato and dynamic. I think the music is perfect. I feel the music with hopeful and dream is from his innerness. The accompany is pizzicato in other to set off melody.
Now, please listen this piece!

My name is Zhong qian. I'm 19 years old and from China. My major is violin. I have many hobby in childhood. I learned dance and handwriting before studying the violin. When I was 8 years old , my father chosen violin for me.This is a interesting story.
Once International Children's Day, my parents went to watch a program with me in my primary school. Most of people watched dance and sing , including my mother and me. But my father was interested in children who were playing the Erhu that is one of the traditional instrument in China. After we went back home,father was excited to talk about erhu performance. He thought I should learn music. He don't like erhu's sound because the sound listen too sad. He also don't like piano because piano is too heavy to convenient. So he decided I learn the violin.
The next day, he visited a violin teacher for me and always accompanied me to class. My parents are serious for my study but they never press me to do anything. So I also like violin.
After a few years, I enter Wuhan conservatory of music to study violin. This is new stage, violin became my major not only hobby. I start felt pressure in school.I think this is also a reason to make me get progress ceaselessly.
Now, I'm a student of YST conservatory of music. I have a excellent major teacher and learning conditions. I think I like violin more much than before.
