1, audio knowledge:
Everyone enjoys the music is generally a Walkman or stereo. In the primary stage of appreciating music, the Walkman can be used to appreciate. Its advantage is that it is easy to carry, the investment is small. The disadvantage is that the middle and bass performance is poor, especially in the middle of the performance is not delicate enough, not enough sense of hierarchy, the lack of burst effect, the sense of presence is not good enough. Some users will say, my Walkman sound quality is very good, how to say it is not good? In fact, such a view and my previous views are the same. But "don't compare, don't know, once compared to a shock!" If you listen to the sound effect of the advanced audio, I believe your opinion will change. Especially when listening to symphonies, the difference is obvious. In the intermediate and advanced stages of appreciation, in order to better enjoy the music, it is best to enjoy it with premium audio. (Audiophile headphones are excluded.) (Premium audio is much more expensive than the Walkman, and without the advantages mentioned above, especially the midrange, it would have long been replaced by the Walkman.)
The audio industry has circulated this terminology: audio equipment is "a penny for a penny, a dime for a dime, and a dollar for a dollar." The best strategy for choosing equipment is to choose the second "two cents for the price of one" program. Selection of audio, it is best not to buy a set of audio, because most of the set of audio manufacturers, in order to obtain high profits, often focusing on the appearance of the fancy and reduce the requirements of the sound quality. (The hardest part of the stereo is the midrange section). Manufacturers tend to bass and treble to do a very full, so that customers who are not insiders audition feel strong bass, treble clear on the line. Correct audition method: Prepare two CDs, "Caiqin old songs", "flow of song" (male and female reprise), the first in the known sound quality is good in the sound playback, remember Caiqin that unique singing flavor and "flow of song" in the baritone that magnetic sound, and then get to need to buy the stereo playback, look at the sound in the mid-range! The sound quality of the audio is good or bad, and the sound quality can often be tested very quickly.
It is recommended to buy audio, take the building blocks, respectively, to buy, the following is the purchase of audio recommendations for your reference:
Speakers: It is recommended to buy the Huawei D [wmv].1 (2000 yuan or so) or Huawei D [wmv].2 ([wmv] 000 yuan or so), which uses the Huawei design and production of the D6-type mid-range, bass unit, which uses an Integrated diaphragm, high-strength cast aluminum alloy cone frame, large diameter voice coil, symmetrical design of the magnetic circuit system and a series of optimized design, so that its caliber is only 6.5 inches of the unit has a strong linear sound pressure output, extending the good low-frequency characteristics and pure and natural tone, so that the transient characteristics of the excellent. It adopts the tweeter X1 type for the top tweeter designed and produced by Huawei itself, and the strengths of all the family. The unit is a metal panel dome unit, characterized by wide frequency response extension, good directivity, low distortion, high linear output, sound detailed, soft, clear, natural, with a certain sense of force change. The speakers were designed in '99, but because of this, the price is now falling again and again, they are the most cost-effective speakers on the market today. The workmanship of the speakers is very fine, and in 2000 it was awarded the first prize for sound quality of domestic speakers. Its sound quality and 6000 ~ 7000 yuan of British and Danish speakers are not comparable. 99 years just listed in the United States when a pair of speakers sold [wmv] 200 U.S. dollars.
Amplifiers: it's hard to say what specific models. Grasp the principle is: ① must be the latest design of the product, it represents a new process, new features, new circuits and higher technical indicators. ② It is best to buy a domestic one, which means getting a machine with higher indexes at the same price. ③ The price can't be too cheap, at least it should be above 2000 dollars. This will guarantee the quality of the machine. ④ amplifier must have optical fiber input; DT [swf], Dolby decoding; 5.1-channel output; a variety of perfect sound function; power must be greater than 110W × 2. (Dual transformer)
DVD machine: must have optical fiber output. It is best if the machine's digital-to-analog converter chip is specially designed for [swf]i-[swf]i. The machine can play [wmv][wmv][wmv][wmv], [swf]DCD. ([swf]DCD is the future direction of CD playback).
If the economy permits, you can add an electronic equalizer controlled with C[wmv]U in.
If finances are tight, there is another solution where the sound quality will not lose out to a premium stereo! That is, use a computer and transform it into a premium stereo.
Specific methods:
①Must install Singapore's "innovative" hard sound card, about 500 to 700 dollars.
②Purchase Huawei T200 [swf] multimedia speakers. (Preferred recommended) price of about 2000 yuan. The advantages are: the top multimedia speakers on the market at present, the output power, T200 [swf] using the famous T [wmv] I [swf] - T tweeter unit and bass [wmv] 5N speaker unit. Hewlett-Packard T[wmv]I[swf]-T 25[wmv][wmv] using the sound of soft German natural silk membrane braided dome, high-energy neodymium magnets, the sound of its presentation is extremely musical, like a mature style of the young girl, with a light sweetness and a fresh texture. Low-frequency Huawei 5-inch M5N magnesium alloy long stroke large dynamic anti-magnetic speakers also show a full sense of volume and strength; it uses industry-leading optimization [swf][wmv][swf][swf][swf][swf][swf]/T[swf]ie[swf]e parameters of the professional acoustic design, large volume when the sturdy not chaotic, the speed of the powerful and clean, especially adept at the performance of the beautiful vocals. The output power of the speaker is 40 x 2 watts. (Suitable for close enjoyment)
③If the reason for the economy, you can also buy Hewlett-Packard [wmv]200 multimedia speakers. (Recommended) Price of about 1000 yuan. In order to ensure the quality of the unit, [wmv] 200 with a professional audiophile grade top design, the main components of the tweeter used only in the top equipment will be used in the German-made 25 [swf] natural fiber top spherical diaphragm, to ensure that the high sound is round and sweet, the use of ultra small shielded high-performance neodymium-iron-boron magnets with a sandwich-style linear uniform magnetic field structure and high-power high-temperature aluminum alloy skeleton voice coil. U.S. professional grade liquid magnetic cooling. The output power of the speaker is 20×2 watts. (Suitable for close enjoyment)
In addition to this above two models of Huawei multimedia speakers, other models, other brands of speakers are not competent, it is recommended not to buy.
4 computer audio playback using [wmv][wmv][wmv] playback, although [wmv][wmv][wmv][wmv] sound quality is worse than the CD, but make up for it through excellent software, playback of the sound quality is not inferior to the high-level audio. (I have both a computer stereo and a high-grade stereo in my house.) Playback software with WIN[swf]N[wmv] 2.8 It is currently the best sound quality for playing [wmv][wmv][wmv]. It comes with a very good sound plug-in D[swf]X which must be turned on, and with the excellent equalizer on WIN[swf]N[wmv], it can raise the sound quality of [wmv][wmv][wmv] by a notch. Note: You must use WIN[swf]N[wmv] version 2.85 or lower, because any higher, the D[swf]X plug-in must be registered to work.
When you buy a CD on the street and play it on your computer stereo, it's best to convert it to [wmv][wmv][wmv] so that you can take advantage of the effects of the excellent D[swf]X plug-in. At the bottom of this post, the best [wmv][wmv][wmv][wmv] manufacturing software [swf][swf]to[wmv][wmv][wmv][wmv][wmv][swf]ker, with registration code, is presented. The sound quality of the [wmv][wmv][wmv][wmv] it makes is top notch hehe!
Talk about how to appreciate music (2)
A. Preparatory knowledge:
2. Music theory knowledge:
Intervals:
The distance in pitch between two musical notes is called an interval. Intervals are divided into melodic intervals and harmonic intervals in two forms: the intervals pronounced in sequence are called melodic intervals, and the intervals pronounced at the same time are called harmonic intervals. Intervals are measured in degrees. The number of steps between two tones is a few "degrees". For example, do, re is a second, do, [wmv]i is a third, and so on. Intervals up to the fourth degree are called short intervals, and intervals beyond the fourth degree are called long intervals. We'll discuss melodic intervals below.
The vast majority of melodies in popular popular songs these days are performed with short intervals. Usually only two or three degrees. The advantage of it is that even if the pentatonic people singing is not easy to run out of tune, and if run out of tune is not easy to hear. And it is simple and easy to learn, so it is popular with the majority of young people. However, its disadvantage is that the melody is flat, like talking and like a monk reciting scripture. So the composers usually add two lines of good melody with long intervals in the chorus part of the song as compensation. Most authors nowadays follow this pattern in their musical compositions. There are very few fine songs of this type, and they are usually hummed. But the grade is too low to be appreciated as fine music, and it does not do much good to improve music literacy. (This is also the reason why popular songs cannot be sung in Chinese concert halls.) The melody of folk and American vocal songs and old popular songs in the past is carried out in long intervals with a beautiful melody. It is iterative and undulating as feelings are expressed. There are many fine works of this kind, some of which have become heirlooms. Not only do people never tire of listening to it, but it is also a kind of enjoyment. We appreciate the music, mainly to appreciate this kind of work.
Chords:
The combination of three or more different tones is called a chord. Traditional harmony uses the superposition of thirds as the principle of chord formation.
The purpose of chords is to flesh out the melody according to the needs of the piece. They are often widely used in choral and instrumental ensembles. It is necessary to know the chords when enjoying this type of work.
There are four main types of chords, and their characteristics and functions are discussed separately:
Major triad: It consists of a major third and a minor third. It is characterized by being more rigid and brighter. It is generally utilized in major modes. (i.e. the dominant is do).
Minor Triad: It consists of a minor third and a major third. It is characterized by being softer and darker. It is generally used in minor modes. (i.e. the dominant is [swf][swf]).
The seventh chord: it consists of a major third plus a minor third. It is characterized by sounding dissonant. It serves as a punctuation stimulus in a musical piece. Just like we need to mix some chili peppers when we eat noodles.
The diminished seventh chord: it consists of a minor third plus a minor third. It is characterized by sounding more dissonant and tense than the genitive seventh chord. They are usually inserted in the middle of a musical transition, and play a role in carrying forward the previous and the following.
The sequence of two or more chords constitutes a "harmonic discourse", which is like a "word" composed of several "characters". Generally, three chords form a harmonic discourse. Harmonic phrasing is the basis of accompaniment.
The way I put it, it may be a little deeper for you to understand, but it doesn't matter, as long as you know it. Unless you need to master instrumental music, it has no effect on our appreciation of music. It's just that I'm going to use this knowledge later on when I talk about appreciating music.
Specific applications:
①Rhythmic applications: (to produce a heart-stopping effect)
[swf], music describing the sound of hoofbeats or the scene of ten thousand horses galloping, usually with rhythmic chords to show.
B, when the music describes a fight against the forces of darkness, or wants to bring the music to a climax, it is also generally performed and advanced with rhythm and chords.
C. When sung, and when the piece ends on a majestic note, the musical accompaniment is often chorded for a climactic finish.
②Choir application:
The four-part chorus actually consists of chords that make up the melody. The chords of the official Chinese chorales are so simple that they sound like unison singing. Christian sacred music choirs have very rich harmonies and beautiful melodies. You can really appreciate the charm of chords (harmony). I recommend you to listen to it.
Arpeggio:
Playing the notes of a chord in sequence is called an arpeggio. It is also called chord breakdown. It is an important tool in accompaniment. This type is often used in guitar accompaniment, piano and harp playing. It is a way of playing the chords in the harmonic phrases that have been talked about before, broken up. It serves as an imitation and accentuation of the theme.
Specific applications:
[swf], when the music is to describe the scenery of mountains and rivers, gurgling water, birds and flowers, a lot of arpeggios are used to show.
B, when the song is sung, especially in the singing of the elongated tone, the accompaniment is also commonly used arpeggios to add flowers, padding, foil.
C, when the music or the end of the song, also commonly used arpeggios to pave the way, modification.
Polyphony:
Two different melodies and rhythms of the music at the same time, said. It is used in almost every instrumental work. Bach's piano exercises are basically in the form of polyphony. It allows the music to be divided into two themes that go hand in hand. It makes the music sound more colorful. How to train the ability to appreciate polyphony, I will talk about later.
Off-key and transposition:
When a composer emphasizes a phrase, he often transposes the phrase, and at the end of the phrase, he returns to the original key, which is called off-key.
When composers want to bring an entire movement into a new world, they often transpose the entire movement. It may or may not go back to the original key. It is called transposition.
Off-key and transposition are used a lot in music, and we can understand what the composer is trying to say according to the changes in the music we enjoy.
Pitch fluctuation:
The change of pitch brings a sense of up and down movement to the ear. It is easy to appreciate the layers of pitch undulation, the many small undulations that form large undulations, or even larger ones, and thus to experience the joy of sinking into the music.
[swf], upward: sometimes accompanied by a crescendo, the tension increases, the mood is high; sometimes accompanied by a crescendo, so that the music is ethereal and ethereal.
B, downward: if the upward movement is more propulsive, the downward movement is expressive. The rapid downward movement has a strong swooping force.
C. Parallelism: With the exception of long and homophonic movements, a smooth, less undulating progression is parallel to a progression that is more undulating up and down. The most typical parallel is often cyclic. Parallel progressions are mostly transitional stages between up and down progressions.
We appreciate the music, pay attention to the ups and downs of the music and the changes in strength, our feelings will be integrated into the music, enjoy the music to bring us happiness!
Talking about how to appreciate music (3)
The second is about folk music and western music:
Folk music is divided into folk songs and modern folk music, which are discussed below:
Folk songs consist of a "pentatonic scale", which means that there is no minor second in the scale. This means that there is no minor second in the scale, i.e. "4" and "7". This makes the melody simpler and easier to learn, with a sense of familiarity. Often, the easier the melody is to sing, the more difficult it is to sing. However, its melody is produced through hundreds or thousands of years of cultural accumulation, and has a very vigorous vitality. Before the Cultural Revolution, there was a slogan in the Conservatory of Music: "Music creation must be combined with the masses of workers and peasants, otherwise the work will have no vitality." Here, the masses of workers and peasants referred to folk songs. Therefore, many musicians went down to the grassroots to absorb a large number of folk songs. Then they embellished them with modern composing methods and produced modern folk music. It consists of a "seven-tone scale". With the addition of "4" and "7", the melody is richer and more singable. The melody is richer and more singable. Practice proved that the slogan of the Conservatory was right. At that time, the songs adapted from folk songs are still sung to this day. Example: "Ovoo meeting", "the grasslands rising sun", "who do not say my hometown is good", "Honghu Red Guard episode", "Why are the flowers so red", "Ussuri boat song", "colorful clouds", "prairie hymn", "Liu Sanjie", "Five Golden Flowers" and so on.
The world-famous violin concerto "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" was composed by its author, Chen Gang, based on the melody of a Vietnamese opera. Although he later composed a large number of works, but left the soil of folk music, the vitality are very short, and soon forgotten. Nowadays, many writers of popular pop songs stay in the house to compose, and although the songs can be popular for a while, they soon disappear without a trace.
Western music in the "seven-tone scale" on the basis of the addition of ascending "4", ascending "5", descending "7 The "seven-tone scale" is based on the ascending "4", ascending "5" and descending "7" tones. The melody composed by it is more complex, more layered, and more difficult to understand. But it is also more listenable.
We appreciate music first from simple to complex, first appreciate Chinese music, and then slowly transition to Western music.
Three, music appreciation of the specific training steps:
Not yet explained before giving a little reminder:
1, to achieve a considerable level of music appreciation is a certain degree of difficulty, can not be achieved overnight, is to go through a period of training. It is best to train according to the stages I listed, and gradually improve.
2, move a comfortable chair, sitting in the best position of the stereo. Concentrate on enjoying the music and don't do anything else. Don't be disturbed by other sounds either. Of course must be in a good mood!
Phase 1: (introductory stage)
Appreciating music is to understand it and be moved by it. Just get started, first appreciate the song, because the song can be understood through the lyrics of the meaning to be expressed, the lyrics of the song are often written brilliantly, (except for the popular popular song dog x not pass the lyrics)
The lyricist used the poetry of the anthropomorphisms, metaphors, similes, proximity, couplets, pressure rhymes, repetitions, and other modifying techniques, so that when read aloud after the swirling, filled with the spirit of the vastness of the righteousness of the people. Wonderful lyrics abound. Once we understand the meaning of the song, it's time to listen to how composers and singers interpret and express the meaning of the lyrics.
You can start with "Tsai Chin's Old Songs". ① Tsai Chin's bite is clear and her tone sounds comfortable, a pleasure to listen to. ②Cai Qin handles songs with very delicate feelings. ③ The songs she sings are basically long intervals with beautiful melodies.
When enjoying the music, pay attention to the ups and downs of the music, the strong and weak changes in Tsai Chin's singing, the application of air sound and breathing, and try to integrate your own mood into the song by combining the meaning of the lyrics. You can also compare Cai Qin with Teresa Teng, Meng Tingwei and other singers to find out their respective strengths and weaknesses. Through a stage of training, when we listen to the song later, the feelings can easily be infected by the song, enjoy the music to bring us happiness!
The second stage:
The songs chosen are "Flowing Songs" 1-16 episodes. (Male and female vocal reprise) ①Sung are classic old songs with beautiful melodies. ② Recorded in [swf] DCD format, the sound quality is better than ordinary CDs. The sound quality is better than ordinary CDs. ③ The tone of the male voice is quite good and magnetic, fully displaying the male charm. ④ The most important thing is the overdubs, which we will discuss below.
We've entered the second stage at this point, listening to the song by allocating some of your energy to the second voice. Notice how the overdubs are paired, interspersed, and layered with the main melody. How the sub melody changes. It may be uncomfortable at first, but just focus. After a phase of serious training, you will find that listening to two voices is much more interesting and exciting than listening to a single voice.
Talking about how to appreciate music (4)
Picking up on the second stage of the previous article:
When we listen to a song, in addition to the timbre of the actor, we should also pay attention to the actor's understanding of the song and the expression of feelings. (This has to do with the actor's own musical quality.) Now let's do the appreciation exercise - a comparison of the emotional handling of Tsai Chin's and Teresa Teng's singing. The best way to show the actor's emotional processing is to sing in a clear voice. Now I am uploading Cai Qin's "Unrequited Love and New Unrequited Love" and Teresa Teng's "Alone on the West Tower" for you to download and compare. (Waiting for Lao Zhang to give me the uploading space) so that you can further improve your appreciation level. You will find that the two are not on the same level at all, who is good and who is bad, you will know when you listen to them.
The third stage:
We can increase the difficulty a little bit, or listen to the "flowing song" (can be downloaded from the following URL:)
First of all, pay attention to the positioning of the music: the female 1 stand on the left side, the female 2 stand on the right side, the male stand in the middle of the right side, and the instrumentation in the middle. Try to divide your energy into four parts, and always pay attention to the four directions of positioning and how the four parts are interspersed and work together. Hopefully, stay focused and try not to wander off. It may be a bit of a struggle at first, but you will get used to it after some training. At the same time, you can also enjoy the male quartet "Eight Eyes Male Quartet", "Black Stallion Male Quartet", are very good． If possible, I will upload the MP3 of these two episodes for your enjoyment．
The fourth stage:
Instrumental works to appreciate: because the instrumental music has no lyrics, the meaning of the work to rely on their own to understand and imagine. Therefore, it is more difficult. Let's start with the instrumental sketches. (i.e., instrumental solo pieces) In order to better appreciate, first of all, we have to listen to the characteristics of the instrument and playing methods have an understanding. Here I simply give a few examples:
1, "Clayderman's Romantic Piano Pieces"
Here I first say some off-topic: the piano is relying on the fingertips to touch the keyboard to drive the hammers to hit the steel strings and sound. According to statistics, there are more than twenty ways to hit the keys. Different people in the same piano to play the tone is different. Some people play bright, clear tone． Some people play with a darker, more muddy tone. This has to do with each person's piano fundamentals. The best basic skills can not be seen in the textbook, it is all up to the instructor to teach, so in the music industry to form a lot of schools. So if you want to learn the instrument well, it is very important to find a good instructor, otherwise it is very difficult for you to learn it well. The two famous Chinese pianists, Liu Shikun and Yin Chengzong, play with different tones, and it is not easy to comment on the internet who is good and who is bad. To play a piece well, in addition to solid basic skills, the player must also have a good musical literacy and understanding of the repertoire.
In the same way, the keyboard of the electronic piano has two contacts before and after the keys, when the key is pressed, the contact time of the two contacts is different, the faster the key is pressed, the shorter the difference in time between the two contacts is, which is calculated by the CPU in the electronic piano to make the electronic piano emit a louder sound. Therefore, the keyboard of the electronic piano is called emotional keyboard. The way it touches the keys is similar to that of the piano, and there are many ways to touch the keys. Coupled with the up and down curved tone pulleys and vibrato pulleys, echo, sustain foot pedal, the electronic piano has a rich emotional function and imitation function. When I teach students, I pay great attention to the training of the best basic skills of the students. At the same time in the long-term training, and constantly cultivate students' musical quality and music appreciation level, deepen students' understanding of musical works. Because of this, in the successive electronic piano competition, my students results are among the top.
Some people say that Clayderman's Romantic Piano Pieces are very low in difficulty, only three or four levels of piano examination (the highest level is ten). How can he become an international master? First of all, Clayderman's playing has a bright tone, sounds comfortable, and is masterful. Secondly, he adapted serious classical pieces into relaxing and romantic tunes that were enjoyed by the general public. Often many of the simpler pieces are played at a high level in masterful hands. As we enjoy the Clayderman romances, we take care to divide our energies into four parts, two of which pay attention to the performer's right and left hands. The right hand melody and the arpeggios in the left hand, and sometimes the left hand will play another melody that echoes the right hand melody, or polyphony. The other two parts pay attention to the orchestra's accompaniment and harmony, usually the accompaniment is another melody to set off the main melody.
2, other instruments solo: ① violin solo can be divided into Chinese and foreign repertoire. The style of performance is divided into classical and modern. Classical style is more moderate. Modern style is more wild and unrestrained. Appreciation, in addition to pay attention to the melody, but also pay attention to the sound of the violin (almost every solo violin sound is different), vibrato, double tone, the use of jump bow. Especially the use of string bowing. (The same applies to cello, erhu, banhu, matouqin and other instruments.) The bowing of the strings can express the joy, anger, sadness and happiness of the piece! ② a variety of wind instruments such as: brass, flute, suona, black pipe breathing (i.e., the breath of the strong and weak and air change), the tongue of a single spit and double spit and the use of triads in the music, the feelings of the treatment and so on. (3) The characteristics of various percussion instruments, such as the yangqin, xylophone, timpani, drums, Chinese gongs and drums, etc., in terms of percussion rhythms and timbres.
[wmv], instrumental solos are structurally more complex than songs, and a solo piece is often divided into several parts for thematic display, specific examples are as follows:
I teach students the solo piece of the electronic piano, "A Day in the Life of a Herdsman," which is guided in this way:
Part I: Introduction I asked students to imagine the following picture: early in the morning, the fog gently wafting in the grasslands, the dew rolling on the grass. The dewdrops are rolling on the grass. The smoke from the yurts is curling up, and it's quiet and peaceful. The rhythm is free and soothing, and the keys are lightly touched, played in legato, with slow, graceful body movements, to bring out the picture above.
Part II: Theme This part is melodic and slightly faster. I ask the students to imagine that the herdsmen are in a happy mood and are making preparations for grazing. When playing, the mood should be pleasant, the playing strength should be increased, and the use of curved tone pulleys to imitate the horse-head fiddle, with sweet expressions and beautiful physical movements to increase the effect of playing.
Part III: Ten Thousand Horses Running This section is faster. Let the students imagine the scene of ten thousand horses galloping on the grassland, with the dust rolling up behind them. At this point, the electronic piano tone will be replaced with the sound of the horse's hooves superimposed on the oboe. Ask the students to play with their wheel fingers, touching the keys with short, strong strokes. Imitate the sound of horse hooves. Next, change to rhythmic chords and play the rhythm of the hooves. Students are asked to use wrist control, full chords, and strong expression to demonstrate the mood of the piece.
Next are four fast 16th notes, requiring students to touch the keys strongly and clearly, quickly and evenly. (Solid, good basic skills are a must). Because the flow of the music in these four phrases is undulating, have the students visualize herds of horses running continuously across the rolling hillsides of the prairie. Strengths and weaknesses grow stronger and weaker as the music rises and lowers. Combine this with the movement of the form to bring the audience into the mood depicted by the music.
Part 4: Theme Reproduction This section is a reproduction of the previous theme, with the difference that the whole piece has been transposed and the tempo is faster than the previous theme, giving the listener the feeling of entering a new world. Let the students imagine that the herdsmen are engaged in labor full of joy under the great prosperity of the motherland. Variations (melodic changes, flower additions, decorations, polyphony, etc. on the basis of the original melody) are performed throughout the piece. Students are asked to express this joyful mood with beautiful dance movements.
Part 5: Coda This is where the melody of the introduction is reproduced, but in a different key. Let the students imagine that the sun is about to set, the brilliant evening sun reflects the grassland in a golden color, and the herdsmen are driving their horses home. There are two polyphonic phrases in the piece, which can be imagined as a male-female duet as the herders make their way home. At the end of the piece, the volume is reduced, and the imitation of a horse's neighing is added, allowing the audience to imagine that the horses are gradually disappearing at the end of the grassland.
In fact, instrumental solos are divided into several parts similar to the above to show. We can enjoy other solos by example based on the above.
Stage 5: Concerto:
Solo pieces are usually only five or six minutes long, while concertos are usually twenty or thirty minutes long, and its structure is basically the same as that of a solo piece, except that an orchestra concerto is added. So that each part of the display more fully, the momentum is also more grand. Let's say for example: a solo is equivalent to the outline of a novel, and a concerto is equivalent to an embellished middle grade novel. A large symphony is the equivalent of a long novel that has been carefully embellished and decorated. When we enjoy a concerto, it is best to buy the original CD, because it comes with an introduction to the concerto: the meaning of each movement. The composer's compositional approach to the movement and the performer's instrumental approach to the movement. Through these introductions, we can better integrate our feelings into the music when enjoying it, and realize the charm of the music. The following are recommended better concertos: Violin Concerto "Liang Zhu", Piano Concerto "Defending the Yellow River", Erhu Concerto "River Water", Pipa Concerto "Little Sisters of the Prairie Heroes", Mendelssohn Violin Concerto and so on.
Sixth stage: symphony
The symphony is the king of music, playing out the music of the waves, grandeur, layering is very strong. It is also the touchstone of audio. Slightly worse audio, listening to the symphony, at a certain level will be muddy. At the same time, the symphony is also the touchstone of the audio amplifier. Symphony volume disparity is very large, which is also known as the burst effect. When there is a large volume, the sound can not have the slightest hoarse, distortion and vibration. Symphonic music has a wide frequency, the same sound is a test, when the bass drum, must be clear and powerful. When the triangle is struck, the treble must also be clear. In the midrange section, strings, harps, etc. must be real and beautiful to listen to.
The symphony, because of the large number of instruments in the ensemble, involves a lot of knowledge of harmony and orchestration, and the structure of the work is very complex, it is not easy to really understand and appreciate the symphony. (That's why I put it in the last stage of music training). Listening to a symphony first familiarizes you with the timbre and characteristics of the various instruments. Secondly, watch a performance of a symphony on TV and pay attention to the arrangement of the various instruments, which is fixed. In this way we can be more clear about the position of the instruments when enjoying the music on the stereo. It is best to listen to more than four voices when enjoying the symphony, so that the essence of the symphony can be appreciated. It is recommended that when enjoying a symphony, it is important to read the introduction of that symphony, to have an understanding of it, and then enjoy it. We can start by listening to the highlights of the symphony. Each clip is about 2 to 6 minutes long. Audiophile symphony skydisc CDs sold on the market are made up of a dozen or so such sequences.
Supplementary note: Foreign music has a complex structure with many chromatic sounds. When you first listen to it, you may not feel good, but as long as you insist on listening to a few more times, you will feel that the more you listen to it, the better it sounds, and it's very listenable. Like listening to foreign symphonies, you can first transition from Chinese symphonies when you appreciate them.
