A concert violinist went to New York City to play at Carnegie Hall. It was his one visit to the city, so he got lost on the way from his hotel to the concert. After wandering up or down several streets, he decided to ask for directions. “Excuse me,” he said to a woman on the corner. “How do I get to Carnegie Hall?” The woman looked at the man hold his violin case and answered, “Practice, practice, practice.”
In this old joke, “get to Carnegie Hall” has two meanings: (1) arrive at the building called Carnegie Hall; (2) reach the top of the music profession, symbolized by Carnegie Hall. To perform at Carnegie Hall is a honor for any musician. It’s the highlight of his or her career. It true takes a lot of practice and hard work to be good enough to play at Carnegie Hall.
Carnegie Hall was built by Andrew Carnegie, one of the richest men of his time. It opened in May of 1891. It’s famous for its superb acoustics (音响设计), which make it a wonderful place to both perform and listen to music-all type of music. The famous Russian composer Tchaikovsky played there, and so do the Beatles.
Since the opening night over 100 years ago, many prominent classical, jazz, and pop musicians performed at Carnegie Hall. No matter what they arrived on the night of their performances such as by subway, taxi, or on foot, they all got to there by dedication to their art, talent-and practice, practice, practice.
