Music appreciation can be divided into three stages.
1. Functional appreciation, which some people call the aesthetic stage, does not require any way of thinking when listening to music at this level. (Satisfied with being pleasant or harsh) For example, when we are doing other things or in cafes and dance halls, we are absent-minded and immersed. At this time, the appeal and atmosphere of music alone can bring us into an unconscious but charming state of mind. While many music lovers listen to concerts just to forget themselves and take music as a comfort or relief. They have entered an illusory world, an ideal world, in which people don't have to think about the reality of daily life, and of course they don't think about music.
2. Emotional appreciation (emotional response), Some people call it the expression stage. Although many composers tend to avoid discussing the content of music, although it is very difficult to explain the meaning of a musical work in words, it should not lead to the other extreme, that is, denying what music wants to "express". At different moments, music expresses peaceful or overflowing emotions, regrets or victories, anger or joy. It expresses every emotion and many other emotions with countless subtle differences and changes, and it can even express the meaning of a kind of words that can't be found in any language. We listened to the theme of the second movement of Lao Chai and De Huo Shaq, and we were wet with tears. This is not because we associate with other sad events, that is, empathy (of course, some people associate with empathy), but purely because of the charm of music itself. It is the composer who expresses this emotion in music. After being played by a band, it is accepted by the appreciator, which can't be expressed in any language, only by listening with one's own ears.

3. Rational appreciation (theoretically analyzing why the music is pleasant to listen to, why it is so emotional, etc.) is called pure music stage. Besides its sound and expressed emotions, music is created by the composer using "music language". Harmony, timbre and other musical materials, in order to follow the composer's ideas, we must also understand some principles of musical form structure. Only in this way can we have a comprehensive understanding of musical works, so as to obtain perfect artistic enjoyment.
To appreciate a work from three aspects: function, emotion and reason, we need to know the following knowledge:
1. The background of the author and works. A musical work, The problem shows the composer's feelings about real life.
2. Ethnic characteristics. Russian composer glinka said, "It is the people who create music, and the composer just composes it into music." All music works are rooted in folk music, so they all have their own national characteristics. Some works generally reflect some characteristics of the national music language (for example, 999 roses are based on Yi dance music). Other works are closely related to the specific national folk monotony (for example, the violin concerto uses Yue Opera tunes.
3. The author's creative personality. Composers have different creative personalities due to their different life times, environmental literacy, experiences and artistic interests. Different composers have different creative styles, and the same composer's creative styles are different in different periods.
4. Titles and untitled.
5. The expressive function of music language. Music language includes many elements, among which there are four main ones: rhythm, melody, harmony and timbre. In addition, there are beat, speed, dynamics, tone, tonality, etc.
6. Form and genre. Form is the arrangement style of music materials, that is, the structural layout of music, such as paragraph, two-stage, three-stage and complex. Divertimento, etc. Genre is the variety of music, such as songs, dance music, marches, scherzos, ballads, serenades, overtures, symphonies, concertos, suites, operas, ballets, oratorios, etc.
Besides the expression of the music language itself, each conductor will make different interpretations of the same musical work, and each orchestra will also use its different timbre. URL="/uploadfile/259111917758.doc"
