Examining the Parallel Relationship of Feng Shui and Classical Music

<p>Mark Ainley has become quite an authority in historic recordings of classical pianists. His highly-regarded Facebook page, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ThePianoFilesWithMarkAinley/">The Piano Files with Mark Ainley</a>, delves into how pianists in the late 19th and early 20th centuries played the instrument. &nbsp;Concurrently, <a href="https://www.senseofspace.com/feng-shui/">he is a consultant in the Chinese art of Feng Shui</a> and has been helping people integrate principles of nature to create a sense of balance in their homes and businesses.</p> <p>I spoke with Mark specifically on how you could draw parallels between these two worlds -- the Western art of classical music and the Eastern art of Feng Shui. To my surprise, there are more related ideas than you might think.</p> <p>Mark articulates both art forms in a way that is digestible, and I hope it stimulates your own thoughts as you approach your work. I know I personally find value in being able to look at something that might seem disparate, but draw parallels. That drive for curiosity keeps me fresh and I hope it will for you, too.</p> <p>--</p> <p><a href="https://classicalpost.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Classical Post</em></a> explores the intersection of classical music, style, and wellness, diving into meaningful conversations with leading artists from an array of different backgrounds.
