Ah Hu is seamlessly connected with classical music from rock music lovers, so there is no threshold for the introduction of classical music. As long as he is willing to listen more, he will definitely have his favorite style, composer, performer and repertoire.
After listening to it more, I naturally began to understand some related contents: the composer's style, the repertoire that the performer is good at, the history of music style, and so on. The fragmentary knowledge seems to be a subject that I have never touched before.
So Ah Hu began to learn about classical music in an all-round way by learning a new subject:
First, understand the historical background and evolution of classical music.
classical music originated in the baroque period in the 17th century, and then developed into classicism in the 18th century and romanticism in the 19th century. Baroque music is famous for its complex harmony and magnificent style, while classical music is more concise, balanced and pays attention to symmetry and clear structure. The Romantic Period focused on expressing personal feelings and imagination, and music became more passionate and dramatic. Studying the characteristics and evolution of these periods can better understand the style and creative concept of music in different periods.
Classical music in each period has distinct styles, so you must listen to each style when you first listen to classical music. However, Ah Fu still recommends starting with baroque style, which is the easiest part to learn, because the melody catches the ear and won't fall asleep. At the same time, it is not necessary to understand the history of classical music in chronological order. Just like painting style, there is no clear boundary between styles. Just start with your favorite style and understand the story behind it. After all, it's just a hobby, and I don't take the postgraduate entrance examination.
Then, study composers and works of classical music. Select several important classical composers for in-depth study.
for example, Johann Sebastian Bach is a representative figure of baroque music, and his works are deeply influenced by church music and religious feelings. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was one of the most important composers in the classical period, and his music was elegant, exquisite and expressive. Beethoven was the pioneer of romantic music, and his works expressed inner conflict and firm will.
By studying the lives and works of these composers, we can better understand their musical styles and creative techniques. Beethoven should be the most familiar composer in China. Several setbacks in his life failed to knock him down, and this fortitude was also reflected in his works-the shocking Destiny was completed after the blow of deafness. So if you have a favorite composer, Ah Hu suggests that you can learn about your life, and you can better understand their works by combining the composer's life experience.
the most important link is: listening to the classic works of classical music.
By listening to some classic works of classical music, you can appreciate their outstanding artistic value and expressive force. For example, Bach's "Brandenburg Concerto" is famous for its gorgeous music decoration and complex counterpoint skills, which embodies the beauty and accuracy of baroque music. Mozart's "The Magic Flute Overture" is a lively and dramatic work, which shows his unique melody and harmony ideas. Beethoven's Ninth Symphony represents the pinnacle of romantic music, among which the affectionate and passionate chorus is highly praised all over the world.
By listening to these works, you can feel the beauty of classical music and the power of emotional expression. You must listen more when you understand the system. If you have a record, listen to it. If you can go to a concert, go to a concert. Simply download a music APP, and almost all famous tracks can be found. Ah Hu especially recommends going to the concert here. Although the expression of music needs the help of musical instruments, it can still convey emotions. Some tracks may be ordinary to listen to with headphones, but the atmosphere at the scene will directly convey the composer's feelings and the performer's expressions to your heart. The charm of the music scene will never be replaced!
In addition, we can explore the form and structure of classical music.
Understanding the common forms and structures in classical music is helpful to better understand its creative rules and internal logic. For example, sonatas and symphonies are common forms in classical music, which are composed of multiple movements with clear structural and stylistic characteristics among them. Concertos are often presented in the form of dialogues between solo instruments and orchestras.
Learning these forms and structures and analyzing the composition of movements and the development of music in the works can help you better understand the structural beauty and organizing principles of classical music. Don't think this is complicated knowledge. These are very basic theories and easy to understand. Because classical music is made up of these rules, if you want to understand it systematically, you must dabble in it, just like when you studied Tang poetry as a child, you must also learn metrics!
Finally, read relevant music books and documents.
reading professional music books and documents is very important for deeply understanding the historical, theoretical and background significance of classical music. Books on classical music are rich and varied, covering the composer's life, music analysis, music history and music criticism. Some classic works such as The Classic Style: Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven by Charles Rosen and The Classic Music: A Listener & by Richard Taraskin; #x27; Companion) is an indispensable and important reference for in-depth study of classical music.
By reading these books, you can gain professional knowledge and a more comprehensive perspective, and further deepen your understanding and appreciation of classical music. Through the above-mentioned in-depth understanding of classical music, we can gradually broaden our horizons and improve our understanding and appreciation of classical music.
