I prefer to use the lines in The Shawshank Redemption to answer the question of what music is depicting: Although I don't know what that woman is singing, I hope she is singing the most beautiful things in the world with the most beautiful voice in the world. Music lovers, after learning a series of music knowledge, get the music image directly from the senses, which is more direct than analyzing the music image. Now, after a series of music appreciation training, I find that I can't go back to the level of directly enjoying music. The two kinds of appreciation can be said to have their own advantages. The former is more abundant, imagination and creativity can be greatly mobilized, and the re-creation process of music works can be completed from more angles; After the latter is trained, listening to music becomes an analysis from various elements of music, such as melody, timbre, rhythm, mode, harmony, texture and form. Its appreciation can be said to be hard work. But the information that can be obtained from music in the end is undoubtedly the most abundant and profound. Of course, choosing one and the other does not mean that it is impossible. It's just that I'm a little afraid of water and I haven't been able to jump out yet. Back to the topic of the landlord, the answer is actually very simple. Yale University has an open course called Listening to Music. Although it is very long, it is definitely an advanced work for ordinary music lovers. Professor Satoshi Nakamoto talked about how to listen to western classical music from these musical elements. Personally, I think it is necessary to watch this class. After reading it, I will feel that I am in another world upstairs.
Please accept it, thank you!
