ways to appreciate music
1. Music has a strong appeal at the beginning of appreciation
Music at this time is very mysterious, with great charm and fascination. Whether it is melody or lyrics, or even the harmony of accompaniment, it will be very exciting. We can see the difference between pop songs and romantic music from people who like different music types.
It is very obvious that music is too attractive to the senses at this time, especially for those who have not really touched music or have little contact with it. They will suddenly be attracted by its euphemistic melody or bright rhythm or sweet chord or even lingering lyrics. It is precisely because of this that many people often regard music as a kind of sustenance, as an ideal, as a gift, as an escape from reality, and even as their own fantasy world at this time.
Because of this, some people often take part in the song-ordering programs of radio and TV stations and give their favorite songs as gifts. Because they feel that this music (song) makes them moved, as if it is an expression of their own state of mind. Of course, this is beyond reproach. What you give to others is your own business. Everything is moving forward, and people can't stay in an appreciation stage forever.
among people who like pop songs, one thing is clear, that is, there must be few people over the age of 3. Why? As far as experience is concerned, those? For a lifetime of love dreams? 、? Always believe in love? It's really a virtual thing. No one will live in such songs forever, and they can't stand it, nor can others.
second, there is a process of music appreciation from shallow to deep
that is, from perceptual (moved by music) to rational understanding (exploring music knowledge) and back to perceptual understanding (deeper appreciation). This is the only way to enjoy music.
A person who studies musical instruments may not necessarily be a good music appreciative, because he is concerned with skills, and expression and understanding are not the same thing. Music has its own language, just like every move and style in dance has its own expression meaning, so do chords, scores, speed and tonality in music. At the beginning, music can move you from the senses, make you excited and make you happy. This is an unconscious aesthetic activity. But if that's all, you still can't really listen to music.
Music has great appeal, not only to young people who have just come into contact with music, but also to an old man who has experienced many hardships. It's just that different stages of listening to music bring different ideological contents.
at the stage of perceptual knowledge, your understanding of music is still limited to sensory feelings. If you are not active in listening to music, then you may not be able to really understand the true meaning of music.
For example, in the perceptual stage, the well-known song Blue Danube is very beautiful. In fact, we are only attracted by the undulating melody, the waltz rhythm in triple time, the story reputation of this famous song and other factors. We don't know why the waltz form in triple time is so attractive; I don't know what kind of small waltzes this piece consists of; We don't know the substantial difference between Strauss Waltz and other waltzes, but first we will be attracted and moved.
if you are indifferent to a beautiful piece of music, that's the last thing you can do. When you appreciate music, you must be an active listener, never satisfied with simple sensory feelings and unconscious appreciation. Only in this way can you have a deep understanding of the other contents of this work, from the creative background to the musical genre to the theme, ideological connotation and artistic attainments of musical forms. In this way, you will have a deeper understanding of music than others.
In the first stage of perceptual knowledge, we usually borrow some composers' captions of the tracks or their descendants' annotations to deepen our understanding of music. For example <: < Dedicated to Alice > > This piano sketch made by Beethoven, combined with music and the association of title words, we can understand this warm and lively lyric sketch well; Another example is the Mexican composer rosas's < < Waltz riding the wind and waves > > From the title, we can appreciate the free and happy mood of splashing waves, seagulls flying and sailing in the waves described by music; Chrysler's violin music <: < China Flower Drum > > As soon as you listen to the title of the song, you will know that it is China's five tones that show a warm and cheerful emotional appeal. There are a lot of title music in the vast music river. As long as you are willing to walk into this music temple, you will find that this hall is full of the essence of human civilization, which is like a huge wealth that you can enjoy for a lifetime.
in the initial stage, music appreciation mainly depends on the sense of sound: beautiful melody, pleasant harmony, regular rhythm, ups and downs of loudness, etc.
A music lover, especially an audio lover, mostly feels that the first thing he pursues is sound effects. At first, using audio equipment to replay music was to listen to and compare audio equipment, and to teach many concepts about audio such as rhythm, timbre, dynamics and so on about different replay effects. As for what content, polyphony, fugue, counterpoint, what is Tarantella and what is sonata form, I don't know anything. In fact, it is not entirely unknown to some audio lovers, and many people do not know these musical concepts.
Actually, it doesn't matter. Music appreciation doesn't require everyone to be a musician. Everyone who listens to music will go through such a primary stage, whether he listens to pop songs or pop symphony music at first.
Over the years, I have also seen a phenomenon that some young people, mainly middle school students, will soon fall in love with Michael if he is not influenced by music culture as a child. Rock music like Jackson soon became a crazy follower. Because they are immediately confused by the crazy rhythm and exciting sound, they don't understand and won't understand what the content is. Compared with those rational rock music lovers, they are only pediatrics. Sometimes some junk music programs are broadcast on TV stations. Although they are not many, they are disgusting, but these programs have a large group of followers. We can no longer say that the TV programs in socialist China are all healthy and progressive programs, and sometimes we will consider the ratings of sponsored advertisements. A passive person with no discriminating ability can easily regard dross as the essence.
