The methods of appreciating music can be divided into three aspects: perceptual appreciation, perceptual appreciation and rational appreciation. Listening to music is just pleasing to the ear, just perceptual appreciation; After listening to it, it can arouse your emotions and be regarded as emotional appreciation; It is a rational appreciation to explore the structure of music, the change of theme and the application of the author's skills.
1. perceptual appreciation: the four basic components of music can arouse our perceptual pleasure, and vivid or powerful rhythm can make us dance unconsciously; Light or euphemistic melody, rich or magnificent harmony also bring us all kinds of pleasure in perception; What attracts the audience most is the beauty of timbre. Full orchestral music and loud singing voice are touching because of their expressive timbre.
2. Emotional appreciation: the material of music is sound, which cannot express sadness or joy as clearly as words. Composers can only arouse our emotions with sound expression; Usually with different tonality (cheerful and vigorous in major and sad and worried in minor), the rhythm is slow (for example, the rhythm is tense and short when angry). When euphemistically and softly expressed, the rhythm is slow and long), the level and strength of the voice (high when it is warm, high and low when it is quiet), the change of harmony (disharmony is often used for struggle and dispute, harmony is often used for peace and tranquility), and the change of timbre (copper tube means war, wooden tube means field).
3. Rational appreciation: Some people say that music is a flowing building because it attaches great importance to structural beauty. The starting point of rational appreciation is to be able to recognize the theme and its characteristics (the length of notes and the organization of rhythm); Secondly, let's see how the composer changed and developed this theme, so as to further understand the overall layout of music; Finally, we should know the forms of various important tunes and the different styles of different factions and individuals in different periods.
These three points are indispensable for people who really want to understand music; Only perceptual appreciation can never get the true meaning of music; Even if music inspires your feelings, you don't understand music; We should go further and strive to seek the mystery of music on the road of rationality, because profound music is absolutely inseparable from rationality. In addition, people who really want to understand music must also understand the basic theory of music and the common sense of musical instruments, and then often concentrate on listening and appreciating. Over time, they will become masters of music appreciation.
