Foreign classical music relies on musical images to infect the audience, and uses the language and artistic conception of the music to leave room for thinking and aftertaste.

If you want to understand classical music, you should proceed step by step. First, listen to works that depict very specific objects, such as the orchestral rhapsody "Carnival of the Animals", which describes the various postures of lions, pigeons, kangaroos and other animals. Listen to Then I heard his voice. Secondly, read some biographies of musicians to understand their life experiences, thoughts, feelings, and personality. Composers always express their true feelings to the audience through their works. For example, Beethoven's "Fifth Symphony" ("Symphony of Destiny") is world-famous. The "motivation" of the first movement symbolizes "fate knocking on the door." What did fate bring to Beethoven, and how did Beethoven deal with the challenges of fate? Second movement: The protagonist is thinking. He reflects on his weaknesses, strengthens his belief in victory, and prepares to fight fate again. The third movement: The forces of darkness are aggressive. People who demand freedom must persevere in difficult times! The fourth movement: Light finally defeated darkness, glory belongs to the heroes who dare to resist, and the song of victory resounded through the sky. In this way, you will involuntarily mobilize your emotions and resonate with the music. Third, you can choose works from the shallower to the deeper, listening to short ones first, and then to big ones; first listen to those whose content is elusive, such as Mussorgsky's "Night on Barren Mountain" and Rimsky-Kosa Kove's "Arabian Nights", and then listen to untitled, more abstract works; first listen to dances, overtures, symphonies, and then concertos, sonatas, etc.

Music expresses people's mood. Only by understanding the author's mood can we truly appreciate music.

Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, also known as "Ode to Joy", was a bold attempt by Beethoven in art. He integrated chorus and symphony into one. The music is full of solemnity and joy.
