Question 1: How to appreciate music How to appreciate music

(1)

How to appreciate music is a very old topic. Over the years, there have been many monographs. But some people still don’t understand how to appreciate music. In fact, appreciating music can also be said to be a very simple matter, that is, as long as you like it. I often hear many people say: "The music is good, but I just can't understand it." But I often ask them: What do you want to understand? As for music, as long as it sounds good to you. Why do we need to understand it in such a utilitarian way? This is actually true. As long as you find a famous piece of music pleasant and touching, you don't have to think about the story it describes. What musical form, tonality, and theme are the next steps. In fact, those are not important yet. The most important thing is that you must first find it pleasant to listen to and be moved by the music. Otherwise, no matter how famous the song is, it will be of no use to you. As for those things it's the next step to learn about music. If you can be moved by music then anything will be easy. Because when you are moved, you will have an impulsive thought, and you will think about why this music moves people so much. What is the reason for this? In this way, you have the desire to learn more about music. It’s impossible to understand everything from the beginning.

When you first start to appreciate music, the sound it has is so infectious that it can move almost everyone who hears it. The music of this time is very mysterious. It has great charm and fascinates people. Whether it's the melody or lyrics, or even the accompaniment's harmony, etc., it will make people extremely excited. We can see the difference between pop songs and romantic music in people who like different types of music. It is very obvious that music is too tempting to the senses at this time, especially for those who have not really been exposed to music or have less exposure to music. They will be immediately attracted by its euphemistic melody or distinctive rhythm or melodious lyrics or even lingering lyrics. It is precisely because of this that many people at this time often regard music as a kind of sustenance, as an ideal, as a gift, as an escape from reality, or even as their own fantasy world. Because of this, some people often participate in song request programs on radio and television stations and give their favorite songs as gifts to others as a kind of personal feeling. Because they feel that this music (song) moves them, as if it is an expression of their own mood. Of course, this is understandable. What you give to others is your own business. Everything is moving forward. People cannot stay in an appreciation stage forever. One thing is clear among people who like pop songs, that is, there are definitely very few people over the age of thirty. Why? In terms of experience alone, those "dream for love all your life" and "always believe in love" are really a relatively empty thing. No one will live in such a song forever. If you can't stand it, others can't stand it either.

There is a process of music appreciation from shallow to profound, that is, from perceptual (being moved by music) to rational understanding (exploring music knowledge) and back to perceptual understanding (deeper understanding). level of appreciation) such three stages. This is the only way to enjoy music. A person who learns an instrument may not necessarily be a good music listener because he focuses on technique. Expression and understanding are not the same thing. Music has its own language, just like every move in dance has its own meaning, the rhythm, score, speed and tonality in music also have their own meanings. In the beginning, music can touch you from the senses, excite you and delight you. This is an unconscious aesthetic activity. But if that's it, you still can't really listen to the music.

Music has a huge power of contagion. This kind of appeal is not only for young people who have just come into contact with music, but also for an old man who has been through many hardships and hardships in the world. It's just that the stages of appreciating music are different, and the ideological content they bring is also different. In the stage of perceptual knowledge, your understanding of music is limited to sensory feelings. If you are not active in appreciating music, then you may not be able to truly understand the music... >>

Question 2: How to appreciate music? Please provide four ways for everyone The above method is basically concluded with a score of 5 points. Copland has an incisive discussion about music appreciation. Generally speaking, the world accepts his point of view, which roughly means this: Alan Copland divides listening to music into three stages: 1. Aesthetic stage; 2. Expression stage; 3. Pure music stage. 1. The simplest way to listen to music is to listen purely for the pleasure of the sound. This is the aesthetic stage. Listening to music at this stage does not require any kind of thinking. When we are doing other things, we turn on the radio and are absent-mindedly immersed in the sound. At this time, the appeal of music alone can bring us to an unconscious yet charming state of mind. You are probably sitting in your room reading this book right now. Imagine that a note is played on the piano. This note is enough to immediately change the atmosphere of the room, proving that the acoustic component of music is a powerful and mysterious force. Anyone who laughs at or underestimates this will look stupid. Surprisingly, many music lovers who thought they were qualified music lovers developed bad music listening habits at this stage.

They go to concerts to forget themselves and use the music as a form of comfort or relief. They enter an ideal world where people do not need to think about the realities of daily life. Of course they weren't thinking about music either. Music allows them to leave music and bring them to a realm of fantasy. This fantasy is caused by music and about music, but they don't listen to music much. Yes, the appeal of musical sound is a powerful and primitive force, but you should not let it occupy an inappropriate position in your interests. The aesthetic stage occupies a very important position in music, but this is not That's where the whole problem lies. There is no need to go too far into the aesthetic phase. The appeal of music is self-evident to every normal person. However, there is also the issue of greater sensitivity to the different acoustic materials used by different composers. Because not all composers use sound materials in the same way. Don't think that the value of music is equal to the degree to which it appeals to beauty, and don't think that the best music is written by the greatest composers. If this is indeed the case, Ravel should be a greater creator than Beethoven. The problem is that the way a composer uses the elements of sound varies from person to person, and the way he uses sound forms an integral part of his style, which must be taken into account when listening to the music. So, the reader can see that even at this preliminary stage of listening to music, it is worthwhile to adopt a more conscious approach to listening. 2. The second stage of listening to music is the expression stage. I personally believe that all music has the ability to express itself, some are stronger, some are weaker, and all notes have a certain meaning behind them, and this meaning after all constitutes the content of the work. The whole question can be simply explained by the following question and answer: "Does music have meaning?" My answer is: "Yes." "Can you express this meaning clearly in words?" My answer is: "No." This is the crux. At different moments, the music expresses emotions of serenity or exuberance, regret or triumph, anger or joy. It expresses each of these emotions and many others in countless nuances and variations, and it can express even a meaning for which no adequate words can be found in any language. In this context, musicians like to say that music has only a purely musical meaning. They sometimes go even further and say that all music has only a purely musical meaning. What they really mean is that there are no words to express the meaning of the music, and even if they could be found, there would be no need to find them. But no matter what professional musicians say, most beginning musicians still have to formulate explicit words to describe their reactions to music. Therefore, he still always feels that it is easier to "understand" Tchaikovsky than to "understand" Beethoven. First, it is easier, much easier, to develop a clear meaning for a piece of music by Tchaikovsky than for one by Beethoven. Especially, as far as this Russian composer is concerned, every time you go back to one of his pieces of music, it almost always tells you the same thing; but it's hard to figure out what Beethoven is talking about. Often it is difficult. Any musician will tell you that this is why Beethoven is the greater composer. Because music that tells you the same story every time will quickly become boring; music that has slightly different meanings every time you listen to it has greater vitality. If possible, you might as well listen to the forty-eight verses in Bach's "Well-Tempered Clavier"... >>

Question 3: In-depth analysis: How to appreciate music Music is how people express their emotions The art of expressing emotions and expressing feelings, whether it is singing, playing or listening, contains and is related to people's inextricable emotional factors. I believe everyone has their own feelings about music, but when it comes to truly appreciating music, it may not be the right way for everyone. You need to know how to appreciate music. How to appreciate music is a very old topic. Over the years, there have been many monographs. But some people still don’t understand how to appreciate music. In fact, appreciating music can also be said to be a very simple matter, that is, as long as you like it. I often hear many people say: "The music is good, but I just can't understand it."

Because when you are moved, you will have an impulsive thought, and you will think about why this music moves people so much. What is the reason for this? In this way, you have the desire to learn more about music, but if you want to understand everything from the beginning, it is unlikely. ● Talking about the appeal of music. When music is just beginning to be appreciated, the appeal of its sound is so great that it can move almost everyone who hears it. The music of this time is very mysterious, it has great charm and fascinates people. Whether it's the melody or lyrics, or even the accompaniment's harmony, etc., it will make people extremely excited.

We can see the difference between pop songs and romantic music in people who like different types of music.

It's just that the stages of appreciating music are different, and the ideological content they bring is also different. In the stage of perceptual knowledge, your understanding of music is limited to sensory feelings. If you are not proactive in appreciating music, then you may not be able to truly appreciate the true meaning of music. For example, "The Blue Danube" is a popular famous song. In the stage of perceptual understanding, we will find it very beautiful. In fact, we are only attracted by the ups and downs of the melody and the three-beat waltz rhythm, as well as the story, fame and other reasons of this famous song. .....>>

Question 4: Steps in Music Appreciation Alan Copeland divides listening to music into three stages:

1. Aesthetic stage;

2. Expression stage;

3. Pure music stage.

1. The simplest way to listen to music is to listen purely for the pleasure of the sound. This is the aesthetic stage.

This fantasy is caused by music and about music, but they don't listen to music much.

Yes, the appeal of music sound is a powerful and primitive force, but you should not let it occupy an inappropriate position in your interests. The aesthetic stage is very important in music. location, but that's not the whole problem.

There is no need to go too far into the aesthetic stage. The appeal of music is self-evident to every normal person.

If possible, you might as well listen to the forty-eight fugue themes in Bach's "Well-Tempered Clavier". Listen to one topic after another. Soon you'll realize that each theme reflects a different mood. You will also quickly realize that the more the topic... >>

Question 5: How to write about music appreciation 1. Write the source of the music and what is its background (eg: is Why did the singer sing, and at what stage of life the composer wrote the song)

2. Start with the instrument chapter

3. Introduce other people’s thoughts on the song

4. Write down your own feelings (from multiple perspectives such as: art, how it sounds, and your own understanding of the song, under what circumstances it is suitable for listening)

Hope it helps. Up to you

Question 6: How to appreciate classical music. In fact, everyone has different feelings about listening to classical music.

I like Bach’s unaccompanied violin sonatas and suites very much. My friend heard them and said they were noise (just kidding, he actually likes classical music very much).

So, don’t care about what others say, and don’t care about which artistic achievement is higher - what you should care about is your own love for music. If you care too much about academic things, it will affect the experience of listening to music.

Taking a step back, which great musicians left so many classics and why?

Is it for future generations to study?

I think the biggest significance is not this (of course it is not against the study of music theory), but it should allow us to share this beauty with them.

Therefore, don’t care about authoritative evaluations - because your love for classical music is the greatest comfort to those deceased masters.

Back to business

First check the information about the author to find out more. Then divide the symphony into several parts and enjoy them in sections. Listen to what instruments are used in each part, and finally write down your feelings. Talk to a friend or teacher to share ideas.

In fact, I am not a professional musician, I just like to enjoy it. I suggest you start with the Waltz of the Strauss family! The music of the Strauss family is relatively simple, neither as rigorous as the music of the classical era, nor as complex as the music of Shostakovich and others. Of course, my favorite is Baroque music, especially Bach's organ music and Vivaldi's concertos. I feel that they express the true meaning of life. However, these pieces are more rigorous and not easy to accept at first.

As for books, I feel like there is no need if you don’t want to be a professional, just like you don’t need to read grammar books if you don’t want to specialize in English linguistics. The main thing is to appreciate it more. I have this feeling: Sometimes when I think back to a piece of music I listened to a few years ago, I suddenly feel that I understand it completely, but no matter how I thought about it at the time, it didn't work.

How to enjoy a symphony?

Some people think symphony is unattainable and incomprehensible. As everyone knows, like articles, it also has depth and depth. As long as you know how to appreciate it, it is not difficult to get started.

Because what it reflects and describes is, after all, human life and human thoughts and feelings. Ordinary people, after getting started, can go from not understanding to understanding, from not knowing deeply to gradually becoming better. Of course, when appreciating higher-level symphonies, you need to have certain and corresponding life experiences and a higher cultural level. "You must use your own experience, impressions and accumulation of knowledge to supplement it."

The following introduction Several different symphonies, briefly talk about the methods of appreciation:

There is a type of symphony called "music painting", which mainly describes the scenery of nature and life, which is relatively easy to understand. For example, the Russian composer Mossorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition", Borodin's "Central Asian Steppe", the great German composer Beethoven's "Pastoral Symphony", the French composer De Biao Xi's "The Sea" can be said to be this type of work. Listening to the music "The Sea", the listener feels like he is on the shore of the sea. From dawn to noon, he appreciates the changes in the color, light, sound and shape of the sea. Sometimes he feels the roar of the wind, sometimes the waves hit the shore, and sometimes the waves are floating. Sometimes there are waves splashing, it’s really ever-changing. Appreciating these works, coupled with rich imagination, you can invisibly get conceptual associations - how beautiful nature is, how interesting life is, and how everything grows endlessly.

There is a type of symphony called "dance music", which has a strong national style. The music is relatively short, the emotion is relatively simple, and the melody is relatively clear. Most of them describe customary festive activities and have the characteristics of singing and dancing. There are also excerpts from dance dramas cut into individual instrumental pieces. This type of symphonic dance music is easy to understand and will soon become popular, such as the more than 400 waltzes by Austrian John Strauss, the "Bolero" by French Ravel, and the Czech composer De Vo?ák's "Slavic Dances", German Brahms's "Hungarian Dances", Chinese composers' "Yao Dances", etc., are all symphonic dances.

Among symphonies, there is a type of music with a storyline, usually with a title or a subtitle for each movement. Most of this type of music is based on familiar and widely circulated dramas, poems, legends, myths, novels, stories, etc., such as "Arabian Nights" (suite) by Russia's Rimiki Kausakov, which is from * ** Based on the mythological novel "One Thousand and One Nights"; France's Bizet's "Carmen Suite" is based on the music of the opera of the same name; my country's He Zhanhao and Chen Gang's "Butterfly Lovers Violin Concerto" is based on the folk story of "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" .

These pieces of music are not like drama, literature, poetry, folk art,...>>

Question 7: How to write about pure music appreciation? 1. The feeling you feel at the beginning

2. The emotions contained in the song (instruments used, sounds imitated, etc.)

3. Final feelings and experiences

Question 8: How to Appreciate Music Music is an artistic image formed through organized sounds (mainly musical sounds), which expresses people's thoughts and feelings and reflects the real life of society

. Creation, performance (singing) and appreciation are the three aspects of musical art practice. Appreciating music is an aesthetic activity. The standard of beauty is determined by the aesthetic taste of a certain era, a certain nation, and a certain social group. There are three stages in appreciating music: 1. Sensory appreciation; 2. Emotional appreciation; 3. Intellectual appreciation. Sensory appreciation is mainly satisfied with the pleasantness of the ear (that is, it sounds good), which is a relatively elementary appreciation. To fully appreciate a musical work and obtain perfect artistic enjoyment, you must enter into emotional appreciation and intellectual appreciation.

To fully appreciate a work from the three aspects of sense, emotion and reason, one must possess the following knowledge: 1. The author and the historical background of the work. 2. The national characteristics of the work. 3. The author’s creative personality. 4. Contents of the title of the work. 5. The expressive function of musical language. 6. Music form and genre. Among them, the expressive function of musical language and knowledge of musical form and genre are common sense of basic music theory. The following is a brief introduction to the common sense of these two basic music theories.

Melody, also called tune, is a line of sounds composed according to a certain relationship between high and low, length and strength. It is the most important means of shaping the image of music

and is the soul of music.

Rhythm is the relationship between the length and strength of each sound in progress. Since sounds of different pitches are also sounds of different lengths and strengths, the melody must contain the element of rhythm.

The beat is an even alternation of strong and weak beats. There are many different ways to combine beats, called "beats." Normal rhythm is carried out according to a certain beat.

Speed ??is the degree of speed. In order for the music to accurately express the thoughts and feelings to be expressed, the work must be sung or played at a certain speed.

Intensity is the degree of strength or weakness. Changes in the intensity of sound also play an important role in shaping the musical image.

The pitch range is the range of pitch. Sounds in different registers have different functions and characteristics when expressing thoughts and feelings.

Timbre is the acoustic characteristics of different voices, different musical instruments and their different combinations. Through contrast and changes in timbre, the expressiveness of music can be enriched and enhanced.

Harmony is the simultaneous combination of two or more tones according to certain rules.

*** Progressive strong and weak, stable and unstable, consonance and dissonance, as well as dis

Stability and dissonance*** The tendency towards stability and consonance*** constitutes harmony functional system. The function of harmony directly affects the strength of intensity, the tightness of rhythm and the amount of power. In addition, harmony plays a role in rendering color.

Polyphony is the simultaneous combination of two or more melodies. The simultaneous combination of different melodies is called contrastive polyphony, and the sequential imitation of the same melody separated by a certain period of time is called imitative polyphony. The use of polyphonic techniques can enrich the musical image, strengthen the momentum of music development and the independence of the voices, and create the effect of echoing one after another, and one after another.

Mode is a sound sequence summarized from the different pitches used in the melody and harmony of musical works. These sounds are related to each other and maintain a certain tendency. The tonality is the pitch of the central note (the tonic) of the mode. In many musical works, the conversion and contrast of modes and tonality are important techniques to reflect changes in atmosphere, color, mood and image.

The various elements of musical language cooperate with each other and have ever-changing expressive power. Although melody is the soul of music, if other elements change, the image of the music will change to varying degrees. Under certain conditions, other factors may even play a major role. For example, the first section of He Luting's orchestral piece "Senji Dema" is soft and slow, using protracted *** and supporting parts to accentuate the melody. The oboe and flute play a pastoral melody at the beginning. Against the background of string instruments, the tone appears soft and calm, describing the beautiful scenery of the vast Mongolian grassland. Later, the melody was successively played by French horn, violin and trumpet, and the color gradually became brighter. The second section is fast and powerful. The string instruments play a light and active accompaniment pattern. The melody is the same as the first section, and the timbre has not changed much. However, due to the changes in speed, intensity and the rhythm of the accompaniment instruments, it expresses Different musical images reflect the happy life of people in Inner Mongolia singing and dancing.

In addition, there is musical form, which is the arrangement of musical materials, which is the structural layout of music. Musical forms include segment, multi-section, rondo, variation, sonata, rondo-sonata, medley, suite, etc. In addition, there are unique musical forms of Chinese classical and ethnic music. Musical forms are set up to express different musical images and contents.
