1. Combined with "Blue Danube Waltz", talk about the outstanding characteristics of Vienna Waltz in terms of musical expression and musical character, as well as your feelings (musical emotions) and associations in the introduction of the work. (20 points)

The grand trend and bright rhythm of "Blue Danube Waltz" will always give people strength and make people yearn for life. It is the pace of progress of human civilization and is The world is moving forward.

"The Blue Danube Waltz" is divided into seven parts: the introduction, five waltzes and the ending. The introduction is played by a violin, and the melodious flute sound comes from a distance, presenting a vibrant scene. The tunes of the five waltzes are relaxed, natural, and the mood is soft and bright. Some parts are lively, and the overall feeling is beautiful and pleasant. Finally, the whole song ends in a warm and joyful atmosphere.

At the beginning of the performance, the violin played a slow tremolo in the key of A major, as if the waves of the Danube River were gently stirring. On this background, the French horns brought out the soft waves of the Danube River against the vibrato of the violin. After the prelude, five small waltzes with different characteristics were played together. The music is like the water of the Danube River, from quiet and steady to uproar, with splashing waves. Diverse transformations form the unique effect of "Blue Danube Waltz".

The First Waltz describes the scene of people dancing in nature on the banks of the blue Danube River.

The Second Waltz first appeared in the key of D major. The clever and varied Second Waltz describes the little girls under the Southern Alps, dancing happily in velvet skirts; suddenly the music changes to In the key of B flat major, the changing colors are particularly moving.

The third waltz is a singing melody. This music adopts syncopated rhythm, giving people a friendly and novel feeling.

The tempo of the Fourth Waltz is relatively free at the beginning, and the ascending arpeggio melody is so beautiful that it feels like spring, refreshing.

The Fifth Waltz is the continuation and development of the musical mood of the Fourth Waltz, but it is moved to the key of A major. The undulating, wavy melody is reminiscent of carefree boating on the Danube.

What follows is the climax and ending of the whole song. The music ends in a stormy carnival. The whole piece of music has a cheerful melody, permeating the Viennese people's deep love for their hometown. There are two endings of the music. One is a choral ending, which follows the fifth waltz and is very short. The other is the ending of the orchestral piece, which is longer and reproduces the themes of the third waltz, the fourth waltz and the first waltz in sequence, and finally ends in a stormy carnival atmosphere

2. The introduction of "Blue Danube" depicts the dawn scene of the Danube: the background of the violin's broken bow is gentle and gentle, like the gurgling water in the hazy dawn mist, gently rippling; the tones of the horn theme coming from far and near are broad and cheerful, attracting people's imagination. ; The brief and harmonious echo of the woodwind section seems to be a distant memory; the cello repeats the horn tone and gradually develops gradually louder and higher, as if the east is white; the bright melody that follows symbolizes the rising sun, and then gushing out all over the world. It shines and illuminates the earth, bringing light and warmth to both sides of the Danube; people can't help but gather on the river banks, full of hope and joy, to welcome the "dawn of the Danube". After listening to this piece, I had endless aftertaste. Its musical image is distinct, and its styling factors are particularly prominent in the introduction. This is a "rippling water" background. The vibrato effect of the violin seems to depict the morning light on the riverside and nature waking up from sleep. The slow-flowing river water forms the basic melody of the music. It seems to depict the beautiful scenery on both sides of the area where the Danube River flows.

This piece of music not only retains the national characteristics of Austrian country dance music, but also incorporates the new romantic characteristics of Vienna city music. Especially the finale with its magnificent structure - Johann Strauss boldly introduces some new thematic material. This ending made me immersed in the artistic conception of the work for a long time.

Second, Thunder and Lightning Polka

This song consists of two contrasting parts. The powerful introduction is followed by the first part of the theme, which seems to let people see a group of infantry walking briskly through the street. After repeating it, the music goes through a transitional sentence played by the whole band, and then there is a soft theme that contrasts with the previous theme, which is beautiful and beautiful. The music finally ends after repeating the theme of the first part.

The whole song is a trilogy of "ABA", showing a warm atmosphere from beginning to end.

Section A has two themes. The first theme is a foreshadowing of the coming storm, and the atmosphere is lively; in the second theme, the sound of "thunder and lightning" can be clearly heard, as if it really happened. It depicts the scene of thunder and lightning and heavy rain. This is the splendid part of the whole song.

The theme of Section B is interspersed with the singing-like melody from time to time with "thunder and lightning"-like scenes, with intertwined colors and extremely vivid colors. The total duration of the song is not long, but it is enough to leave an indelible impression on the listener.

On a summer night, the blue sky is like a wash, the moon is like a disk, the moonlight is melting, and the stars are dotted; occasionally, there are bursts of insect chirping, which embellishes the beauty of the night. The broad shadow of the sycamore tree slants on the ground, revealing the mottled leaves. Suddenly, there was a "rumbling" of thunder in the distance, breaking the tranquility of the night.

"Crack!" Several flashes of lightning pierced the sky. A large dark cloud came rushing from afar, gathering thicker and thicker; the wind blew loudly, the sky became darker and darker, and the wind became stronger and stronger. In an instant, big raindrops fell like thunder, and soon it began to rain heavily. The water flowed down the eaves like a waterfall, and the water splashed on the ground, and the small stream formed a river. The thunder came closer and closer, ringing overhead. The sound of wind, rain and running water outside the window is sometimes as shocking as a symphony, sometimes as strong as rock music, and sometimes as smooth and smooth as light music. The pouring rain sometimes resembles thousands of horses galloping, sometimes it resembles the gurgling of a small stream... The rain gradually became lighter, and the dark clouds gradually faded away, as if everything had returned to calm. The air is much fresher and everything is full of life.

3. Combined with relevant knowledge, talk about the outstanding features of Chopin's "Etude in C Minor (Revolution)" in terms of musical expression means (musical language), as well as your feelings about the musical work (musical mood) ) and Lenovo. (20 points)

1. This piece is different from ordinary purely technical etudes. It not only has difficult skills, but also has profound ideological content, rich artistic charm and distinctive musical image. The music is in a complex three-part form.

What is presented at the beginning is the eight-bar introduction: starting from the subordinate ninth chord, the melody pours out rapidly from top to bottom, showing the author's uncontrollable anger and pain. Subsequently, the piano played a deformed horn tone composed of decisive and powerful chords in the high range, which was strong and resolute, turning the music from sorrow and anger to passion, expressing the resistance spirit and heroism of the Polish people.

Then, with the ups and downs of arpeggiated accompaniment, the music presents a tragic theme with alternating strong and weak phrases, like an excited shout and a turbulent echo; the second half of the theme It has obvious recitative characteristics, as if expressing inner pain. In the middle part of the music, the shouting tone with dotted rhythmic progression is repeated again and again in the sharp ups and downs of the accompaniment, making the mood of the music more and more exciting; then, the introduction at the beginning is used as a transition, so that the theme is based on the original main melody Reproduced with grace changes. At the end, a melody containing sadness and sadness appeared, expressing deep sorrow and sorrow. But then, the heroic passion revived the mood of the music; finally, the introduction's rapidly descending melody line and the powerful four chords were used to end.

2. This is a piece of music with a single image. The whole song is filled with emotions of anger and grief from beginning to end. The entire musical image is reflected through the combination of the rushing sound flow of the left hand and the resolute melody of the right hand. The etude of this work begins with a discordant dominant ninth chord, leading to a series of surging sixteenth notes. Then, the left and right hands move forward at the same time, and the two sound streams rush uninhibited, like thousands of troops and horses, so majestic. Suddenly a resolute tune appeared in the high notes. In addition to expressing Chopin's inner indignation and anxiety, this music also contains unwavering faith. It seems like a struggle in anger, a struggle in pain. As the music unfolds, it becomes more and more tense, and a series of modulations and changes of tone push the whole song to a climax. The climax of the etude is an image of victory and triumph, which seems to be a moment of fantasy in the face of severe reality, but it is not a poetic reverie, but a memory of the moment when the Warsaw Uprising broke out. Near the end, the music changes from strong to weak, and a sad tone appears. It is like crying, full of sorrow and sorrow; it is also like telling, coming from the heart. However, its background is still undulating waves. This heartfelt cry is Chopin's lament for the entire fate. At the end of the music, the song returns to its proud and resolute image. The music hits from high notes to bass with strong intensity, and the left and right hands play in unison in octaves, which is impressive. Finally, with extremely strong intensity, the main chord of the major key was played, which symbolized Chopin's inner hatred and belief in the victory of the revolution.

Fourth, combine specific musical works and your own experience to talk about what aspects should be paid attention to in the process of music appreciation, so as to continuously improve your understanding and sensitivity of excellent musical works from ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad.

Music appreciation is a special spiritual activity that occurs when people come into contact with works of art. Music appreciation is actually an aesthetic activity. By grasping the perceptual image provided by the work, the appreciator can associate with it, mobilize his artistic thinking and aesthetic emotions, and concretely understand the appearance and essence of social life reflected in the artistic image, and experience the It contains the author's thoughts and feelings, thus obtaining a kind of emotional satisfaction and beautiful enjoyment, and feeling happy and joyful. In the process of music appreciation, we should generally pay attention to three aspects: image perception, aesthetic judgment and artistic experience.

(1) Image experience.

On the basis of image reproduction, the audience will concretely feel the series of events, scenes, characters, social environment, and natural scenery depicted in the work, and be specifically exposed to the intricate relationships and contradictions between the characters. , attracted by the vivid plot, unknowingly intoxicated by the charming artistic realm, and introduced into the world of life depicted in the work; at the same time, it mobilized the relevant impressions stored in his own memory, arousing a series of memories. Thinking activities such as association, imagination, etc. make the artistic images in the works emerge, become vivid, and active in the mind, so they feel very real, as if they are immersed in the scene. For example, when listening to Solveiglied, the lyrics are just one word: Ah, the verse is by a coloratura soprano.

It is a combination of difficult skills, and it seems to reach the limit of the human voice. "Song of Solveig" has a beautiful and moving melody, which sounds distant and desolate. Therefore, when listening to "Song of Solveg", there is always a kind of calm desolation, like a Nordic lake covered with ice and snow, with an undercurrent flowing slowly. , the short section of Allegro is like a fish in ice water, jumping with difficulty with meager happiness. This process of listening to the work and obtaining a clear and distinct impression of the image depicted by the work is the initial psychological activity during music appreciation and is also the starting point of music appreciation.

(2) Aesthetic judgment.

In the image perception stage, the audience obtains a relatively clear and distinct impression of the image depicted in the work, but it is also perceptual, superficial, preliminary, and even scattered. Therefore, the appreciator needs to further understand each aspect. The relationship between the specific image and the image picture, trying to understand the meaning contained in the image, so as to make one's own aesthetic judgment. For example, the piece "Radeski March" was originally dedicated to General Radeski by the elder Johann Strauss, but in fact Radeski was a strongman who brutally suppressed the people of neighboring countries. Uprising can be said to be a reactionary warlord. However, its popular melody and sonorous rhythm conquered a large number of listeners and became the most widely circulated march.

(3) Artistic experience.

As the audience feels and understands the image, they will naturally "connect from the object to me" and "from me to the object", and connect their own life experience and emotional experience to understand the characters represented in the musical works. Or the author's thoughts and feelings, reaching the point of "forgetting both the object and myself", and being fascinated and crazy, thus obtaining great aesthetic pleasure. This is what we call artistic experience. As for music appreciation, the appreciator will always have a certain degree of artistic experience. Otherwise, the image feelings and aesthetic judgments mentioned above will become incompatible and meaningless. In the process of music appreciation, we generally pay attention to three aspects: image perception, aesthetic judgment, and artistic experience. Only in a theoretical sense and in terms of the general laws of aesthetic understanding, the three stages of the appreciation process are difficult to separate clearly. They often penetrate and intertwine with each other. In the process of music appreciation, we should pay attention to the three aspects of image perception, aesthetic judgment and artistic experience, combined with specific musical works and our own experience, so as to continuously improve our understanding of excellent music works at home and abroad, both ancient and modern. understanding and sensitivity.
