1. Preliminary knowledge:

1. Audio knowledge:

Everyone usually listens to music with a walkman or stereo. In the initial stage of music appreciation, you can use a Walkman to enjoy it. Its advantage is that it is easy to carry and requires a small investment. The disadvantage is that the mid-range and bass performance are poor, especially the mid-range performance is not delicate enough, the layering is not enough, the bursting effect is lacking, and the sense of presence is not good enough. Some netizens will say that the sound quality of my Walkman is very good, how can I say it is not good? In fact, this view is the same as my previous view. But "I don't know if you compare, but you will be shocked if you compare!" If you listen to the sound effects of high-end speakers, I believe your opinion will change. Especially when listening to symphony, their differences are obvious. In the intermediate and advanced stages of appreciation, in order to better enjoy music, it is best to listen to it with high-end speakers. (Except for fever headphones) (High-end audio is much more expensive than the Walkman. Without the above advantages, especially the midrange, it would have been replaced by the Walkman.)

There is such a term circulating in the audio industry : Audio equipment is "you get what you pay for, you get two cents for the price, and you get three cents for the price of one yuan." The best strategy for purchasing equipment is to choose the second "you get two cents for the price" option. When purchasing speakers, it is best not to purchase packaged speakers. This is because most packaged speaker manufacturers, in order to obtain high profits, often focus on the fancy appearance and lower their requirements for sound quality. (The most difficult thing about audio is the midrange part). Manufacturers often make the bass and treble very sufficient, so that inexperienced customers can feel that the bass is strong and the treble is clear during the sound test. Correct audition method: Prepare two CDs, "Tsai Chin's Old Songs" and "Flowing Songs" (male and female duet). Play them first on a speaker with known good sound quality. Remember the charm and "Tsai Chin's unique singing voice". The magnetic voice of the baritone in "Flowing Singing" can then be played in the speakers that need to be purchased. See how the midrange playback effect of the speakers is, and you can often quickly test out the sound quality of the speakers.

When purchasing speakers, it is recommended to adopt a building block approach and buy them separately. The following are suggestions for purchasing speakers for your reference:

Speaker: It is recommended to purchase Swans D[wmv].1 (2000 (around 1,000 yuan) or Hivi D[wmv].2 ([wmv], 000 yuan or so), which use the D6 mid-range and bass unit designed and produced by Hivi. This unit uses an integrated diaphragm and high-strength cast aluminum alloy. A series of optimized designs such as the basin frame, large-diameter voice coil, and symmetrically designed magnetic circuit system enable the unit with a diameter of only 6.5 inches to have powerful linear sound pressure output, well-extended low-frequency characteristics, and pure and natural timbre, making the unit instantly Excellent performance characteristics. The X1 tweeter unit it uses is a top-level tweeter designed and produced by Hivi itself, which has the best of both worlds. This unit is a dome-type unit with a metal panel. It is characterized by wide frequency response, good directivity, low distortion, high linear output, detailed, soft, clear and natural sound, and a certain sense of force change. This speaker was designed in 1999, but because of this, the price is now falling again and again. They are currently the most cost-effective speakers on the market. The workmanship of the speaker is very fine, and it won the first prize for domestic speaker sound quality in 2000. Its sound quality is comparable to British and Danish speakers costing 6,000 to 7,000 yuan. When it was first launched in 1999, a pair of speakers sold for $200 [wmv] in the United States.

Power amplifier: It’s hard to say what model it is. The principles to grasp are: 1. It must be the latest designed product, which represents new technology, new functions, new circuits and higher technical indicators. ② It is best to buy domestically produced machines, which means that at the same price, you can get machines with higher indicators. ③The price should not be too cheap, at least 2,000 yuan or more. Only in this way can the quality of the machine be guaranteed. ④The power amplifier must have optical fiber input; DT [swf], Dolby decoding; 5.1 channel output; various complete sound effect functions; the power must be greater than 110W×2. (Double transformer)

DVD player: must have optical fiber output. The digital-to-analog conversion chip of the best machine is specially designed for [swf]i-[swf]i. The machine can play [wmv][wmv][wmv], [swf]DCD.

([swf]DCD is the direction of CD playback in the future).

If the economy permits, you can add an electronic equalizer controlled by C[wmv]U.

If you are financially strapped, there is another solution, and the sound quality will not be inferior to that of high-end speakers! That is to use computers to transform them into high-end speakers.

Specific methods:

① You must install Singapore’s “innovative” hard sound card, which costs about 500 to 700 yuan.

②Purchase Swans T200[swf] multimedia speaker. (Preferred recommendation) The price is about 2,000 yuan. Its advantages are: currently the top product of multimedia speakers on the market, with high output power, T200[swf] adopts Hivi's famous T[wmv]I[swf]-T tweeter unit and bass[wmv]5N speaker unit. HiVi T[wmv]I[swf]-T 25[wmv][wmv] uses a soft-sounding German natural silk film woven dome and high-energy neodymium iron boron magnet. Its sound is very musical, like a mature and charming girl. , with a light sweetness and a fresh texture. Low-frequency Hivi 5-inch M5N magnesium alloy long-stroke large-dynamic anti-magnetic speaker also shows full sense of volume and power; it adopts industry-leading optimization [swf][wmv][swf][swf][swf]/T[swf]ie [swf]e parameter is a professional acoustic design. It is strong and stable at high volume, fast and clean, and is especially good at expressing beautiful human voices. The output power of the speaker is 40×2 watts. (Suitable for close-range appreciation)

③If it is economical, you can also purchase the Swans [wmv] 200 multimedia speaker. (Recommended) The price is about 1,000 yuan. In order to ensure the quality of the unit, [wmv]200 adopts a professional audiophile-grade top-level design. The main components of the treble are made of German-made 25?swf] natural fiber top-level spherical diaphragm that is only used in top-level equipment, ensuring that the treble is round and sweet. It adopts ultra-small shielded high-performance neodymium iron boron magnets with a sandwich linear uniform magnetic field structure and a high-power high-temperature-resistant aluminum alloy skeleton voice coil, and American professional-grade liquid magnetic cooling. The output power of the speaker is 20×2 watts. (Suitable for close-up viewing)

Except for the two HiVi multimedia speakers above, speakers of other models and brands are not competent, so it is recommended not to buy them.

④The computer audio playback method uses [wmv][wmv][wmv] playback. Although the sound quality of [wmv][wmv][wmv] is worse than CD, it is compensated for by excellent software. The sound quality is not inferior to that of high-end speakers. (Because my home has both computer audio and high-end audio.) The playback software is WIN[swf]N[wmv]2.8, which currently has the best sound quality for playing [wmv][wmv][wmv]. The very excellent sound effect plug-in D[swf] grade. Note: You must use WIN[swf]N[wmv] versions below 2.85, because no matter how high the version is, the D[swf]X plug-in must be registered before it can be used.

When playing a CD bought on the street with a computer stereo, it is best to convert it to [wmv][wmv][wmv] so that you can take advantage of the effects of the excellent D[swf]X plug-in. At the bottom of this post, I present the best [wmv][wmv][wmv] manufacturing software [swf][swf]to[wmv][wmv][wmv][wmv][swf]ker, with Registration code. The sound quality of [wmv][wmv][wmv] it produces is first-class!

1. Preliminary knowledge:

2. Brief discussion on music theory knowledge:

Intervals:

The distance in pitch between two musical tones is called the interval. Intervals are divided into two forms: melodic intervals and harmonic intervals: intervals pronounced in sequence are called melodic intervals, and intervals sounded simultaneously are called harmonic intervals. Musical intervals are measured in degrees.

The number of sound levels between two tones is the number of "degrees". For example, do and re are the second degree, do and [wmv]i are the third degree, and so on. Intervals within four degrees are called short intervals, and intervals beyond four degrees are called long intervals. What we are going to discuss next are melodic intervals.

Most of the melodies of today's popular popular songs use short intervals. Usually only two or three degrees. Its advantage is that even a tone-deaf person will not easily be out of tune when singing, and it will not be easy to hear if it is out of tune. It is also simple and easy to learn, so it is very popular among teenagers. But its shortcoming is that the melody is dull, like talking or a monk chanting sutras. Therefore, composers usually add two long-sounding melodies to the chorus of the song as compensation. Most authors today compose music according to this model. There are very few high-quality songs of this kind, and you can just hum them normally. But the grade is too low, not worth appreciating as high-quality music, and does little good in improving musical literacy. (This is also the reason why popular songs cannot be sung in Chinese concert halls.) The melody of ethnic and bel canto songs and popular old songs of the past is performed with long intervals and is beautiful. It fluctuates with the expression of emotions. There are many fine works of this kind, and some have become masterpieces handed down from generation to generation. Not only is it fun to listen to, it's also a pleasure. When we appreciate music, we mainly appreciate this kind of works.

Chord:

The combination of three or more different tones is called a chord. Traditional harmony uses the superposition of thirds as the principle of chord formation.

The function of chords is to make the melody fuller according to the needs of the work. It is often widely used in chorus and instrumental ensembles. When we appreciate this kind of work, it is necessary to understand the chord progression.

There are four main chords, and their characteristics and functions are discussed separately:

Major triad: It consists of a major third and a minor third. It is characterized by being stiffer and brighter. It is generally used in major modes. (That is, the main sound is do).

Minor triad: It consists of a minor third and a major third. It is characterized by softer and darker colors. It is generally used in minor modes. (That is, the main tone is [swf][swf]).

Dominant seventh chord: It is composed of a major triad plus a minor third. The characteristic is that it sounds disharmonious. It plays the role of embellishment and stimulation in the music. Just like when we eat noodles, we need to add some chili pepper.

Diminished seventh chord: It is composed of a minor triad plus a minor third. The characteristic is that the sound sounds more disharmonious and tense than the dominant seventh chord. It is usually inserted in the middle of the modulation of the music to serve as a link between the past and the future.

The sequence of two or more chords constitutes a "harmonic vocabulary", which is like a "word" composed of several "words". Generally, the harmonic vocabulary consists of three chords. Harmonic vocabulary is the basis of accompaniment.

When I say it this way, your understanding may be a little deeper, but it doesn’t matter, as long as you know it. Except for the need to master instrumental music, it has no impact on our appreciation of music. It’s just that I will use this knowledge later when I talk about appreciating music.

Specific applications:

①Rhythm application: (producing exciting effects)

[swf], when the music describes the sound of horse hooves or the scene of thousands of galloping horses , usually expressed using rhythm chords.

B. When the music describes fighting against the forces of darkness, or when the music is intended to reach a climax, rhythm and chords are generally used to perform and advance the music.

C. When singing and music ends with a majestic and powerful ending, the musical accompaniment often uses chords to complete the climax.

②Chorus application:

The four-part chorus actually consists of chords forming a melody. The chord structure of China's official chorus is too simple and sounds like singing in unison. The Christian sacred choir has rich harmonies and beautiful melodies. You can truly appreciate the charm of chords (harmony). I suggest everyone listen to it.

Arpeggio:

Playing the sounds composed of chords in sequence is called arpeggio. Also called chord breakdown. It is an important means in accompaniment. This type is often used when playing guitar accompaniment, piano, and harp. It is to play the chords in the harmonic vocabulary mentioned earlier. It plays the role of imitating and highlighting the theme.

Specific application:

[swf], when the music wants to describe the scenery of beautiful mountains and clear waters, gurgling water, and the fragrance of birds and flowers, it uses a lot of arpeggios to show it.

B. When singing songs, especially when singing extended tones, accompaniment often uses arpeggios to add flowers, foreshadowing, and background.

C. When a piece of music or a song ends, arpeggios are also often used to foreshadow and modify it.

Polyphony:

It is called when two pieces of music with different melodies and rhythms are played at the same time. It is used in almost every instrumental piece. Bach's piano etudes are basically polyphonic. It allows the music to be divided into two themes that go hand in hand. Make the music sound more colorful. I will talk about how to train the ability to appreciate polyphony later.

Transposition and transposition:

When a composer wants to emphasize a certain phrase, he often modulates the phrase. When the phrase ends, it switches back to the original key, which is called To leave the tune.

When a composer wants to bring the entire movement into a new world, he often changes the key of the entire movement. It can go back to its original tune or not. Call it transposition.

Modes and modulations are widely used in music. When we appreciate music, we can understand the meaning of the composer based on its changes.

Pitch ups and downs:

Changes in pitch will bring an up and down movement to the hearing. When appreciating music, it is easy to discover the levels of pitch ups and downs. Many small ups and downs form big ups and downs, or even bigger ups and downs, so that you can experience the joy of sinking and sinking in music.

[swf], ascending: sometimes accompanied by crescendo, the tension increases and the mood rises; sometimes accompanied by diminution, the music becomes ethereal and elegant.

B. Downward: If upward is more driving force, downward is more expressive. Rapid descent has strong dive force.

C. Parallel: Except for long tones and unison movements, a smooth progression with small fluctuations is considered parallel to a progression with considerable ups and downs. The most typical parallelism is cyclic. Parallel progress is mostly a transitional stage between up and down.

When we appreciate music, we pay attention to the ups and downs and changes in intensity of the music. Our emotions will be integrated into the music and we will enjoy the happiness that music brings us!

Talk about how to appreciate music (3)

2. About ethnic music and Western music:

Ethnic music is divided into folk songs and modern ethnic music, which are discussed below. :

Folk songs are composed of "pentatonic scale", that is, "4" and "7" without minor second in the scale. In this way, the melody composed of it is relatively simple, very easy to learn, and has the feeling of familiarity. The easier the melody is to sing, the harder it is to sing. But its melody is produced through hundreds or thousands of years of cultural accumulation and has very strong vitality. Before the Cultural Revolution, the Conservatory of Music had a slogan: "Music creation must be integrated with the workers and peasants, otherwise the work will have no vitality." The workers and peasants here refer to folk songs. As a result, many music workers went to the grassroots to collect folk songs and absorbed a large amount of folk song materials. Then it was polished with modern composition methods, resulting in modern national music. It is composed of "septatonic scale". "4" and "7" were added. The melody is richer and more singable. Practice has proved that the slogan of the Conservatory of Music is correct. Songs adapted from folk songs at that time are still sung to this day. Examples: "Meeting in Aobao", "The Sun That Never Sets on the Grassland", "Who doesn't say good things about my hometown", "Red Guard Interlude in Honghu Lake", "Why are the Flowers So Red", "Ussuri Boat Song", "Colorful Clouds" and "Prairie" "Hymn", "Sanjie Liu", "Five Golden Flowers" and so on.

The world-famous violin concerto "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" was composed by its author Chen Gang based on the melody of Yue Opera. Although he created a large number of works in the future, without the soil of folk music, his life span was very short and he was quickly forgotten. Nowadays, many writers of popular songs write in isolation. Although the songs may be popular for a while, they soon disappear without a trace.

On the basis of the "septatonic scale", Western music adds the changing tones of sharp "4", sharp "5", and flat "7". The melodies formed from it are more complex, more layered, and more difficult to understand.

But it’s also more listenable.

When we appreciate music, we first appreciate Chinese music from simple to complex, and then slowly transition to Western music.

3. Specific training steps for music appreciation:

Let me give you some reminder before explaining:

1. There are certain steps to achieve a certain level of music appreciation. It is of a certain degree of difficulty and cannot be accomplished overnight. It requires a period of training. It is best to train according to the stages I have listed and gradually improve.

2. Move a comfortable chair and sit in the best position for the speakers. Focus on listening to music and don't do anything else. Don't be distracted by other sounds either. Of course you have to be in a good mood!

The first stage: (entry stage)

Appreciating music means understanding music and being moved by music. When you first get started, listen to songs first, because the meaning of the song can be understood through the lyrics, and the lyrics of the songs are often very exciting, (except for the lyrics of the popular popular song Dog × Unreasonable)

Words The author uses personification, metaphor, parallelism, parallelism, rhyme, repetition and other modification techniques in the poem to make people feel inspired and full of awe-inspiring righteousness after reading it aloud. Great lyrics abound. After we understand the meaning of the song, we can listen to how the composer and singer interpret and express the meaning of the lyrics.

You can start with "Tsai Chin's Old Songs". ① Tsai Chin’s articulation is clear and her timbre sounds very comfortable, which is a pleasure. ② Tsai Chin handles the emotions of songs very delicately. ③The songs she sings are basically long-range and have beautiful melodies.

When appreciating, pay attention to the ups and downs of the music, the changes in intensity when Tsai Chin sings, the application of voice and breathing, combined with the meaning of the lyrics, and try to integrate your own mood into the song. You can also compare Tsai Chin with singers such as Teresa Teng and Meng Tingwei to find out their respective strengths and weaknesses. After passing the first stage of training, when we listen to songs in the future, our emotions will be easily infected by the songs, and we will enjoy the happiness that music brings us!

The second stage:

The songs selected are episodes 1-16 of "Flowing Song". (Male and female duet) ① The songs sung are all classic old songs with beautiful melodies. ② Recorded in [swf]DCD format, the sound quality is better than ordinary CD. ③The timbre of the male voice is quite good, full of magnetism, and fully demonstrates the charm of the man. ④The most important thing is the duet, which we will discuss below.

We have now entered the second stage. When listening to songs, we must allocate part of our energy to listen to the second part. Pay attention to how the chorus and the main melody are matched, interspersed, and foreshadowed. How the submelody changes. It may not be easy to get used to at first, but just focus. After a period of serious training, you will find that listening to two voices is much more interesting and exciting than listening to one voice.

Talk about how to appreciate music (4)

Continued from the previous article in the second stage:

When we listen to songs, in addition to the actor’s timbre, we must also pay attention to The actor’s understanding and emotional expression of the song. (This is related to the actor's own musical quality), now let's do an appreciation exercise - a comparison of Tsai Chin's and Teresa Teng's emotional handling of singing. What best expresses an actor's emotional processing is a cappella singing. Two songs, "No Love and No New Love" by Tsai Chin and "Up to the West Tower Alone" by Teresa Teng, are now uploaded for everyone to download and compare. (Waiting for the upload space that Lao Zhang gave me) so that everyone can further improve their appreciation level. You will find that the two of them are not at the same level at all. You will know who is better and who is worse after listening to them.

The third stage:

We can increase the difficulty a little, or listen to "Flowing Song" (can be downloaded from the following website:)

First of all, pay attention to the music Positioning: Female 1 stands on the left, female 2 stands on the right, male vocals stand in the middle to the right, and instruments are in the middle. Try to divide your energy into four parts, and pay attention to the four positioning directions at all times and how the four parts intersect and cooperate. Hope you stay focused and try not to get distracted. It may be difficult at first, but after a period of training, you will get used to it.

At the same time, you can also enjoy the male quartets "Eight Eyes Male Quartet" and "Black Horse Male Quartet", both of which are very nice. If possible, I will upload the MP3s of these two episodes for everyone to enjoy.

The fourth stage:

Appreciation of instrumental music works: Because instrumental music does not have lyrics, the meaning of the work has to be understood and imagined by oneself. Therefore it is more difficult. Let's start with the instrumental piece. (That is, instrumental solo music) In order to better appreciate it, we must first understand the characteristics and playing methods of the instrument we want to listen to. Let me give a few examples here:

1. "Clayderman's Romantic Piano Music"

Here I will talk about some digressions: the piano is touched by fingers. Hitting the keyboard drives the hammer to strike the steel string to produce a sound. According to statistics, there are more than 20 ways to hit piano keys with your fingers. Different people play different sounds on the same piano. Some people play with bright and clear sound. The sound played by someone is darker and more mixed. This is related to everyone’s basic piano skills. The best basic skills cannot be seen in the textbooks. They all depend on the instructor's words and deeds. Therefore, many schools have been formed in the music industry. Therefore, if you want to learn an instrument well, it is crucial to find a good instructor, otherwise it will be difficult for you to learn well. Two famous Chinese pianists, Liu Shikun and Yin Chengzong, play different timbres. Who is better and who is worse cannot be commented on the Internet. To play a piece of music well, in addition to having solid basic skills, the performer must also have good musical literacy and understanding of the piece.

In the same way, there are two contacts before and after the key of the electronic keyboard. When the key is pressed, the contact time of the two contacts is different. The faster the key is pressed, the longer the time difference between the two contacts. Short, after calculation by the CPU in the electronic keyboard, the sound produced by the electronic keyboard will be louder. Therefore, the keyboard of the current electronic keyboard is called the emotional keyboard. Its touch method is similar to that of a piano, and there are many methods. Coupled with the pulleys with up and down pitch bends, the vibrato pulleys, and the echo and sustain pedals, the electronic keyboard has rich emotional and imitative functions. When I teach students, I pay great attention to training students' best basic skills. At the same time, in the long-term training, students' musical quality and music appreciation level are constantly cultivated, and students' understanding of musical works is deepened. Because of this, my students' scores have always been among the best in previous electronic keyboard competitions.

Some people say that Clayderman’s romantic piano music is very difficult, and only reaches the third or fourth level of the piano examination (the highest level is level 10). How can you become an international master? First of all, Clayderman's playing has a bright tone, comfortable sounding, and is a masterful performance. Secondly, he adapted serious classical music into relaxed and romantic music, which was loved by the masses. Often many simpler songs can play to a high level in the hands of a master. When we appreciate Clayderman's Romance, we should pay attention to dividing our energy into four parts, two of which pay attention to the left and right hands of the performer. The melody of the right hand and the arpeggio of the left hand. Sometimes the left hand will play another melody that echoes the melody of the right hand, which is polyphony. The other two parts pay attention to the accompaniment and harmony of the band. Generally, the accompaniment uses another melody to set off the main melody.

2. Other instrument solos: ①Violin solos can be divided into Chinese and foreign repertoire. The playing style is divided into classical and modern. The classical style is more formal. The modern style is more wild and unrestrained. When appreciating, in addition to paying attention to the melody, you should also pay attention to the timbre of the violin (almost every solo violin has a different timbre), the use of vibrato, double stops, and bow jumping. Especially the use of string bows. (Similarly suitable for cello, erhu, banhu, morinouqin and other musical instruments) The severity of the bow strings can express the joy, anger, sorrow and joy of the music! ②Performance of various wind instruments such as: breathing of brass, flute, suona, clarinet, etc. (i.e. the strength and ventilation of the breath), single and double tongue protrusions and the use of triplet in music, emotional Processing and so on. ③The characteristics of the percussion rhythm and timbre matching of various percussion instruments such as dulcimer, xylophone, timpani, drum set, Chinese gongs and drums, celebration gongs and drums, etc.

[wmv], instrumental solos are more complex in structure than songs. A solo is often divided into several parts to display the theme. Specific examples are as follows:

I am teaching The instructions for the student electronic piano solo "A Day of the Herdsman" are as follows:

Part One: Introduction I asked the students to imagine this scene: in the early morning, the mist is gently floating on the grassland, and the dewdrops are rolling on the green grass. Smoke curled up from the yurt, and it was quiet and peaceful. When playing, the rhythm is free and soothing, the touch of the keys is lighter, and the legato playing is used, combined with slow and graceful body movements, to show the above picture.

Part 2: Theme This part has a beautiful melody and a slightly faster speed. I asked the students to imagine that the herdsmen were in a happy mood and making preparations for grazing. When playing, you should be in a happy mood, play harder, and use the pitch-bending pulley to imitate the morinouqur, and use sweet expressions and graceful body movements to increase the performance.

Part Three: Thousands of Horses Galloping This section is faster. Let students imagine the scene of thousands of horses galloping on the grassland, with billows of dust behind them. At this time, the timbre of the electronic keyboard is replaced by the superposition of the sound of horse hooves and the oboe. Students are required to play with round fingers and touch the keys with short and powerful force. Imitate the sound of horse hooves. Then, switch to rhythmic chords to play the rhythm of hoofbeats. Students are required to have proper control of their wrists, full and powerful chords, and strong expressions of expression and body to demonstrate the artistic conception required by the music.

The following are four fast 16th note sentences, requiring students to touch the keys powerfully, clearly, quickly and evenly. (Must have solid and good basic skills). Because the flow of these four lines of music is undulating, let students imagine groups of horses running continuously on the undulating hillsides of the grassland. The intensity and intensity increase as the music rises and fades as it decreases. In conjunction with the movements of the body, the audience is brought into the artistic conception depicted by the music.

Part 4: Theme Reappearance This section is the reappearance of the previous theme. The difference is that the entire piece of music has been modulated and the speed is faster than the previous theme, making the listener feel that they have entered a new world. Let students imagine that the herdsmen are engaged in joyful labor in the great situation of the prosperity of the motherland. The entire piece of music has been modified (based on the original melody, melody changes, additions, decorations, polyphony, etc.). Students are required to express this joyful mood with graceful dance movements when playing.

Part 5: Epilogue At this time, the music reproduces the melody of the introduction, but it has been modulated. Let students imagine that the sun is about to set, the gorgeous sunset illuminates the grassland golden, and the herdsmen are driving their horses home. There are two lines of polyphony in the music, which can be imagined as the herdsmen singing duet between men and women on their way home. At the end of the music, the volume decreases, and imitated horse neighing is added, allowing the audience to imagine the horses gradually disappearing at the end of the grassland.

In fact, instrumental solo music is divided into several parts similar to the above. We can draw inferences based on the above examples to appreciate other solo pieces.

The fifth stage: Concerto:

A solo piece is generally only five or six minutes long, while a concerto is generally two to thirty minutes long. Its structure is basically the same as that of a solo piece, except that Joined the orchestra. So that each part is displayed more fully and the momentum is more grand. To use an analogy: a solo is like the outline of a novel, and a concerto is like a polished novella. A large-scale symphony is equivalent to a novel that has been carefully polished and decorated. When we appreciate concertos, it is best to buy genuine CDs. Because the genuine CD comes with an introduction to the concerto: the meaning expressed by each movement. The composer's composing technique in this movement and the performer's instrument playing technique in this movement. Through these introductions, when we appreciate music, we can better integrate our emotions into the music and experience the charm of music. The following are recommended concertos: Violin Concerto "Butterfly Lovers", Piano Concerto "Defending the Yellow River", Erhu Concerto "River Water", Pipa Concerto "Little Sisters of the Grassland Heroes", Mendelssohn Violin Concerto, etc.

The sixth stage: symphony

Symphony is the king of music. The music played is magnificent, magnificent and has a strong sense of hierarchy. It is also a touchstone for audio.

A slightly inferior sound system will be muddy at a certain level when listening to a symphony. At the same time, symphony is also the touchstone of audio amplifiers. There is a huge difference in the volume of the symphony, which is the so-called bursting effect. When the volume is high, the sound should not be hoarse, distorted or vibrated at all. The frequency of the symphony is very wide, which is also a test for the sound. When the bass drum is struck, it must be clear and powerful. When hitting the triangle, the high notes must also be clear. In the midrange part, strings, harp, etc. must be real and beautiful.

Because a symphony has many instrumental ensembles, it involves a lot of harmony and orchestration knowledge, and the structure of the work is very complex. It is not easy to truly understand and appreciate a symphony. (So ??I put it at the end of my music training). To listen to symphony, first familiarize yourself with the timbres and characteristics of various instruments. Secondly, look at the symphony performance on TV and pay attention to the arrangement of the various instruments. It is fixed. In this way, when we listen to music with speakers, we can be more clear about the location of the instruments. When appreciating, it is best to listen to more than four parts, so that you can appreciate the essence of the symphony. It is recommended that when appreciating a symphony, you must first read the introduction of the symphony to understand it, and then enjoy it. When we appreciate it, we can start by listening to the highlights of the symphony. Each clip lasts approximately 2 to 6 minutes. The audiophile-level symphony CDs sold on the market are composed of more than a dozen such fragments.

Additional explanation: Foreign music has many semitones and has a complicated structure. It may not sound good when you first listen to it, but as long as you insist on listening to it a few more times, you will feel that it sounds better and better, and it is very durable. Just like listening to foreign symphonies, you can first transition to Chinese symphonies when appreciating them.

Now there is another way to enjoy music: if you have already set up a 5-channel home theater at home, you can try it. That is, when listening to DVD five-channel music, although it cannot reach the [swf]i-[swf]i level, the sound quality is quite good. Sitting there, you can be surrounded by a variety of different channels of music, and you can also enjoy the picture. It is indeed another kind of music enjoyment. It's much better than going outside to listen to a concert. Nowadays, there are many DVDs of such five-channel concerts. It is also the direction of future development. I recommend two works. "Kitaro America Concert" is a concert adapted by Japanese musician Kitaro based on Chinese folk songs and performed with electroacoustic instruments. It has beautiful melody and novel form. "Violin Hot Quartet UK Concert". Four beautiful and hot young female players perform a quartet of bass, alto and violin. Although he is playing classical music, his movements are bold and novel. The above two concerts will give us both visual and auditory enjoyment.

Summary:

1. Appreciating music is mainly about understanding the connotation of music and appreciating the hierarchical relationship between various types of beautiful sounds. To ensure the realization of the above conditions, good audio must be a prerequisite. If you really like music but it is impossible to buy a stereo, it is recommended to buy an iRiver550 Walkman, which can play [wmv][wmv][wmv] and CDs. The sound quality is only slightly inferior to high-end speakers, but it is enough for listening to music. It is the best [wmv][wmv][wmv] player on the market.

2. To appreciate music, you must listen to at least two parts. You may not get used to it at first, but as long as you persist for a long time, you will definitely get results. You must be able to appreciate the layering of music and the charm of harmony.

[wmv], through long-term music appreciation training, on the one hand, it improves the listening and speaking ability of the ears, on the other hand, it strengthens our attentiveness and sensitivity to music.

4. Appreciating music is not only a process of enjoyment, but also can reduce psychological stress. So it is also a process of cultivating sentiment.
