“Tchaikovsky & Solitude” is the name of one of my favorite songs by Miniature Tigers. I think I simply am drawn by the title, that although so short, I find very relatable. It encapsulates how I have spent, and spend most of my free time. In solitude, occupied with books, music, movies, crafts, or whatever else I am engulfed in at that moment. To many, being alone is frightening, and automatically inspires feelings of desolation. For me, being alone does not equate being lonely, but is rather a gift. As a child, my parents constantly worried about me. For many reasons, like most parents, but mainly because of my quiet and withdrawn personality. Teachers would congratulate my mother because of my outstanding grades, and then proceed to alarmingly ask my mother if something was wrong with me that kept me from talking in class or making friends. My older sister was the only person who thought I was loud and outgoing. At home, I would …show more content…
I learned many things about myself and the world around me that shaped my way of thinking and feeling immensely. Today, I cherish those moments where I can sit in silence on my own and do something that I enjoy, which have become rare amongst the constant homework, a job, school activities, and of course, my friends. I realize that company can be wonderful to inspire and console you when you are not feeling your best, but that is only if the company is one you feel comfortable with. I am still working on voicing my thoughts and feelings to those around me, and on not being afraid to be loud amongst large groups of people, but unlike before, I am aware that these are things I need to improve. At the end of the day, I am still that quiet, smart girl that sat alone for hours lost in a story, song, of puzzle, but I am grateful I have learned to embrace and share my solitude with the
The Five, The Mighty Handful, and The New Russian School all depict the five Russian composers who came together in 1856-57 in St Petersburg. Their ultimate goal was to portray and produce a Russian style of music , and this is exactly what they would accomplish. Though one of "The Five" goes farther than this with his works, this being Modest Mussorgsky. Mussorgsky was a composer born march 21st 1839, with one of the most controversial names and spellings of a name. He was born to wealthy land owners and was raised for the military life. Studying piano at a young age in St. Petersburg, then later arriving at a cadet school.
Everyone feels alone at times, but the way we cope with it internally, is different. In Marie Howe’s poem Watching Television she starts by telling us about a mother spider who has a hundred babies, who were learning how to spin their webs. But, the poem switches and she starts talking about herself and how she imagines herself places where she is isolated. She explains that she is arguing with the man she loves, she hasn’t heard from him and she stands and waits for him to show up, but he never does. She finishes the poem with saying “Anything I’ve ever tried to keep by force I’ve lost,” which is a harsh ending.
I love and am extremely defensive of my own picked snippets of isolation, however I additionally realize that drawn out stretches of time alone can send me into a depressive state, or make me feel like I 'm going insane. All the more particularly, a sort of frenzy sets in when I understand only i 'm with my considerations with nobody to attest or prevent the legitimacy from claiming what I 'm considering. When I 'm without anyone else 's input for a really long time, I begin to notice my own sense of reality of who I truly am and what the world is truly like. I needed to be with other people in light of the fact that they are such a critical piece of how I learn and make the most of my life and my explanation behind living. All individuals appear to rely on upon differing sums and emotion of socialgatehrings to keep

In what circumstances do you feel isolated? People feel isolation on a large spectrum. Some may feel the most isolated when in public surrounded by people they know well and others may feel isolated when surrounded by no one at all. The meaning of isolation varies considerably. However, I believe many can find common ground in how Merriam Webster defines isolation. According to Merriam Webster isolation means: the state of being in a place or situation that is separate from others : the condition of being isolated. I think the most severe form of isolation is where you have been separated from the rest of the world. In the short story “The Dead Child” written by Gabrielle
Modest Mussorgsky (1839-1881) was a Russian composer and considered an innovator of Russian music during the romantic era. Mussorgsky began to receive piano lessons from his mother, a trained pianist, at the age of six . The production and popular success of Mussorgsky’s Boris Godunov early in 1874 had marked the peak of Mussorgsky’s career. However, during this time, many problems arose from betrayal and harsh criticism towards many of his works that caused a negative attribute to his life.. Mussorgsky expressed this feelings of loneliness though his dark pessimistic sounding song cycle, Bez solntsa, completed in August 1874, prior to that composition, Mussorgsky wrote Pictures from an Exhibition revealed by a memorial exhibition of the architectural drawings, stage designs and various watercolors of his friends Viktor Hartmann, whom died the year before.

Tchaikovsky’s Serenade in C Major has been considered to be one of his most favourable works. Composed in the late months of 1880, Serenade was performed for the first time on December 3rd 1880 at the Moscow Conservatory. It then landed its first public performance in St Petersburg on the 30th of October 1881; the premier was indubitably well received under the direction of Eduard Napravnik. Tchaikovsky was quoted saying that he “wrote from inner compulsion, this is a piece from the heart” as he attempted to compose a tribute to Mozart’s own serenades; a very fond idol of his.
In life people are be alone by choice, no matter if it was flat out what the wanted or alone due to some kind of forced circumstance that grew out of a previous choice they made, but when it comes down to it loneliness is never truly desired. In the short stories A Painful Case and Eveline we see examples of each type of loneliness. In A Painful Case Mr. Duffy for the most part of his life chooses to be alone. In Eveline, Eveline seems to be lonely because she’s unable to leave her duties to her family. In both stories the main characters display their desire to have someone near but when they’re finally given the chance it’s inevitably taken away from them, and then they’re driven back into the entrapment of loneliness.
"Alone" by Maya Angelou explains how happiness can not be achieved if you don't have anyone to enjoy it with. She shows that no matter who you are or what you do, no one "can make it out here alone" (10). The poem is spoken by what is most likely a woman who is pondering her loneliness and unhappiness. She is not speaking directly to a specific person or group of people, but to humans as a whole. This poem describes to the reader how if they do not have friends, family, and their community to be there to help them in trouble, then they will be unhappy.
Neglect is something that everyone deals and has dealt with. Whether it’s relationship neglect, parental neglect or just feeling like no one is there to help when you need it the most. I have felt loneliness in all of those areas. I have felt like I was putting in so much effort in a relationships with my friends than the others were putting in and I felt so neglected and alone. One thing that I can say that effected me the most is parental neglect. In most cases people who say they have felt parental neglect will probably say it was the father that was or is missing from their lives. In my case it is my mother.

Everyone has times when they are alone for situational reasons, or because they have chosen to be alone. Being alone can be experienced as positive, pleasurable, and emotionally refreshing if it is under the individual's control. Being alone and lonely, and even
I feel uncomfortable in my own world. Being alone unnerves me. I always have felt the need to share my world, my mind and my feelings with somebody. My feelings about myself seem less important than what others think of me. I'm scared of being lonely. And so are we all. We all seem to be on a continuous search for someone who will really love and understand us. Someone to provide us with a purpose for life. And yet I think we are all essentially alone. We are alone in our thoughts an emotions.
