Albert Einstein was a piano lover! !

Albert Einstein was born in Germany and is the world’s most famous physicist.
He overturned the common sense of physics and announced many important discoveries that became the basis of current physics, and he is called “the best physicist of the 20th century”.

Einstein is famous as a physicist, but he is actually a musician who plays the piano and violin.

In this article, I will approach the face as Einstein’s musician!

Einstein is a musician

It is the figure of Einstein playing the piano. Einstein was very fond of the piano, he played it all his life since he was a boy.

It is said that Einstein’s sister (Maya Einstein) and his mother (Pauline Einstein (née: Koch)) were both piano enthusiasts, which influenced his love of the piano.

As is well known, Einstein was also a violinist.

Albert Einstein, who was familiar with music from an early age, later said, “If he had not devoted his life to science, he would have wanted to be a musician.”

“If I hadn’t been a physicist, I probably would have been a musician. I often think in music. I daydream in music. I see my life in terms of music.. I get most of my joy in life from music.”

Albert’s mother, Pauline Koch, was a musician and encouraged him to study music at an early age, but at the age of five, the future Nobel laureate was unfazed. At the age of thirteen, he discovered Mozart’s Violin Sonata, taught himself how to play the violin, and was awakened to music.

In addition to Mozart, Einstein was known to be a huge fan of Bach, and he often played the Concerto for Two Violins.

Many people know that Albert Einstein was gifted with the violin, but his second wife, Elsa, fell in love with the physicist because he played Mozart so sublimely. I’m telling you it’s because of it.

In addition to Mozart and Bach, Albert Einstein liked to play Vivaldi, Schubert, Scarlatti, Arcangelo Corelli, and other German, Austrian, and Italian classical and romantic composers. .

Physics = music is common

Einstein has inspired many pioneers throughout history, but music played a very special role in the development of his own conceptual thinking.

During his lifetime, Einstein, who is said to have played the violin, the piano, and even the electric guitar in his later years, his undying love for music is not just a curiosity, but forms his view of the world and the universe. It was an enduring passion.

Behind Einstein’s deepening of physics, there was always an artistic and musical sensibility.

Einstein left the following words:

“You cannot truly study science unless you have the same passion for science that you have for music.” “Science, art, and religion all stem from the same stem.”

Einstein and the Piano at the Nara Hotel

In the reception room “Sakura no Ma” on the first floor of the Nara Hotel, there is an old Harrington upright piano that Einstein played when he visited the hotel in 1922.
(It’s a piano that you can’t usually touch.)
