At first, I only knew Beethoven, Mozart, and Tchaikovsky. Later, through elective courses, I learned about Strauss, Chopin, Vivaldi, Britten, and Dvosha. Gram and other great musicians.
I think the appreciation of classical music is not only the appreciation of the music itself, but also the appreciation and exploration of the connotation expressed by the music. Through the style and characteristics of classical music, we can understand the inner world of the musician. and personal character. Therefore, it is impossible for a musician without profound connotation to write a great work, and at best he can only become excellent. I think this is also the goal that a musician wants to achieve, to express his understanding of life, society, and art to the audience through the form of music. When they compose music for themselves rather than to cater to nobles and audiences, great works will be produced, even though they may not be heard at the time. Because of this, when I listen to classical music, I must first understand the background and origin of the piece. Otherwise, if you just appreciate its melody, you may gain nothing.
"Mozart" is the film that touched me the most, and it is worthy of being an Oscar-winning film. The film highlights Mozart's genius and Salieri's jealousy (the film vilifies Salieri in order to highlight his personality and contradictions). Mozart was extremely talented in music. When Salieri saw his manuscript, Salieri was shocked. Mozart did not change a single step, and he could not change every part because it was too perfect. Salieri believed that Mozart was not composing music. All he had to do was copy the notes in his head. He also lamented why God did not give him such a talent.
And Salieri’s jealousy of Mozart was not only because of his talent, but also because of Mozart’s arrogance and self-confidence, as well as his contempt for the traditional internal system of the palace, because he always Thinking that he is the best composer in the world, he is not bound or controlled by anyone.
Mozart's "Requiem" is really a great work that shakes the soul. It vividly expresses Mozart's psychological state before his death. There is helplessness, depression, and sadness. The complex psychological state makes the listeners feel sorry for it. No wonder some people say how could there be such a sad melody in the world!
It can be said that Beethoven has always been a person fighting against fate. Because of his ugly appearance, he was rejected by the women he loved several times, which was a big blow to him. His later deafness further showed that he was not God's favorite. Under such difficulties, he was able to create works like the Ninth Symphony, which further reflects Beethoven's greatness. You know what it means to a composer to lose your hearing. It's like a chef losing his sense of taste or a painter losing his eyes. And it was Beethoven who created the pinnacle of symphony that cannot be surpassed by future generations. So Beethoven’s music cannot but be listened to. His "Pastoral", "Destiny" and "Ninth" were all put into my computer.
Later came the waltz master Strauss. His "Blue Danube", "Vienna Woods", "Emperor's Waltz" and "Sound of Spring Waltz" can be said to be classics among classics. I am also in At that time, I listened to these songs repeatedly.
It was also at this time that I heard what I think is the best symphony - Dvo?ák's "New World". Especially the majestic fourth movement, I never tire of listening to it.
In short, I feel lucky that I have been exposed to classical music. I am also grateful that classical music has brought me happiness. I hope that more people can share this happiness with me.
