The eyebrows of several professors twitched slightly.
This question is actually really difficult to answer.
Because the scope is really too broad!
Who knows what answer you want to hear?
That's the topic.
It is perfectly fine to develop hundreds or even thousands of non-duplicate papers.
"I feel that the Chinese music system now needs to learn as much as possible from Western music to expand and develop while maintaining its unique foundation."
Xu Xin spoke.
first sentence.
It's very vague.
Li Jinglin frowned imperceptibly.
But soon.
Following Xu Xin's next words.
Li Jinglin's brows began to relax.
"Chinese mastered the seven tones very early, but preferred the harmonious five tones. Therefore, over time, it has increasingly pursued melody and rhythm, but underestimated the role of harmony, while Western music pays more attention to harmony."
"Western music pays more attention to width and is more integrated. If it is described as a painting, it is an oil painting layer by layer, with lines, colors, sensitivity, and the laying out of paint layer by layer. It is more sophisticated in every aspect. balanced."
"If Chinese music does not have an obvious melody, it is not called music. Harmony is dispensable. It is like some ink paintings, with lines and outlines, but it is extremely simple and pays more attention to artistic conception."
"Just like Chinese painting's perspective is not obvious, Chinese music is not without harmony, but it is very unclear and rarely used."
"These differences are mostly due to other aspects."
Xu Xin's thinking is clear and her explanations are very organized.
Moreover, it is from a very objective perspective to compare the differences between the two.
There is no emotional overtone.
There is no feeling of stepping down or pandering to speculation.
"So, if Westerners who have not been exposed to Chinese music listen to Chinese music, they will feel as if there is only a thread floating in the air, which is not solid enough. When Chinese people listen to Western music, they also feel that because they are not used to the harmony, Western music is like a jumble of noise.”
“From a personal perspective, I feel that Chinese music is more profound in artistic conception, while Western music is more profound in form. Today’s development of Chinese music needs to focus more on maintaining the profound artistic conception. The functions and effects of harmony focus on exploring more ways of operating the foundation of music.”
After hearing these words.
Li Jinglin couldn't help but nodded.
This student can indeed see the essence of things very clearly.
Chinese music is greatly influenced by Chinese culture.
Are some things in China's traditional culture necessarily correct today?
You definitely can't stick to stereotypes mindlessly.
It’s about being discerning and inheriting it reasonably.
What about your views on Western art?
Is patriotism something that must belittle others?
The student Li Jinglin is looking for.
They must be students who can put aside their prejudices and see the essence. They must be students with brains.
Be it East or West.
They won’t brag mindlessly.
I won't brag mindlessly.
Discuss matters as they stand and only study artistic issues.
Since Chinese music strictly followed etiquette at the beginning, and the pentatonic scale was also based on the principle of complete fifth and fourth consonance, the harmony of these notes was not only loose and empty, but also had very limited changes.
The pentatonic itself is very consonant, and the harmony's power to enhance the rhythm is very limited, and it is even more difficult to promote emotional ups and downs.
Coupled with the thoughts and lives of scholar-bureaucrats at that time.
The five tones are enough to express the ideas of "accommodating nature in order to seek comfort" and "being quiet and indifferent, wandering leisurely and leisurely", which is in line with Confucius' golden mean and Laozi's tranquility and inaction.
Therefore, the ancient Chinese people, on the basis of following the ethics and loving the pentatonic scale,
There is really no need to develop harmonies.
Therefore, the harmony of Chinese music is more often found in the music of ethnic minorities.
The systems are just different. The music of each system has its own form. It is obviously wrong to say that Eskimos are backward if they do not use refrigerators.
But harmony is as important as the refrigerator.
There is no ancient Chinese music, but it does not mean that modern Chinese music does not need to be ordinary.
Of course, the Eskimos can draw a circle and only circle themselves in the polar regions, without pursuing a life that requires refrigerators.
But want to develop.
After all, you still need to get out.
Prosper in poetry, establish in etiquette, and achieve in music.
Development is still necessary.
The golden mean and tranquility and inaction are good and have great wisdom.
"Follow nature for comfort" and "Be quiet and indifferent, enjoy leisurely travels" are also good attitudes towards life.
But if you want to develop, you can't just do this.
If there is a misunderstanding or excessive practice of "quiet and inactive", it will easily lead to a very negative concept of life, which will limit the expression and development of all content. This includes not only philosophy, thought, technology, but also art.
Chinese music, in fact, is in such a situation.
This is especially true for the general public.
And this time.
Xu Xin spoke again.
"Furthermore, the reason why musical emphasis is different also includes language."
"Western languages tend to be one-dimensional rhythmic languages. Therefore, in terms of their melodic development, the rhythm of the language does not affect the melody and gives harmony a broader space for development."
"Chinese language is a melodic language. On the two-dimensional basis of strokes and pictograms, the three-dimensional concept of tone is added, giving different pronunciations. One word, different pronunciation tones, may cover Different meanings.”
"Therefore, Chinese language has melodies. The ups and downs are more likely to be melodious. Naturally, more attention is paid to the melody and the development is deeper. And the harmony sometimes affects the melodic nature of the language."
Speaking of which.
Xu Xin smiled slightly.
What he said was very high standard.
Even several professors nodded with admiration.
"So, if we look at music as a whole, our country's music has formed a unique music system and music aesthetic habits under special historical conditions."
"Explore the laws and origins of its development, and understand the conditions and reasons for its formation."
"Only by summarizing the elements that have been ignored in development and maintaining our own competitive advantages can we push China's long-standing national music into a more prosperous, magnificent and colorful situation."
Snap, snap, snap.
Several interviewers couldn't help but applaud Xu Xin.
The beautiful girl in front of me is not only good at winning awards, but also has strong performance skills.
From the discussion just now.
It's completely visible.
Xu Xin has a very academic exploration of Eastern and Western music and her own independent thinking.
Don't say it.
He really gets to the point.
at least.
Just what I just said.
If you want to sort it out.
And it is specific and concise, giving examples to demonstrate and expounding some suggestions and directions for development.
Be humble.
There is absolutely no problem with a master's thesis in C publication.
"Very good, very good."
Li Jinglin also nodded with satisfaction.
To have such insights and thoughts
Xu Xin is practicing the development of Chinese music.
In fact, it is equivalent to entering a door!
This is the entry point.
It's actually really difficult.
Because we can look at the essential development of music calmly, without any colored glasses or prejudice.
is the hardest.
Bias here.
Whether it is mindless praise of Chinese music or mindless belittling of Chinese music.
Or is it kneeling down to Western music, or is it dismissive of Western music.
It’s all a bit of both.
Forget about ordinary people's diodes.
As a music researcher or practitioner, even if you have reached the level of a master's or doctoral degree, you still have these bad prejudices.
That's the disaster of music.
Next.
It's just an interview with some other questions.
have to say.
Xu Xin is indeed a great person.
The words are clear and logical, very objective and pertinent, and the theoretical foundation is also very high.
even though.
The interview results are not out yet.
But almost everyone knows it.
This Xu Xin.
Designation is admitted.
"It's really hard to imagine that she is just an undergraduate."
Zhang Yi raised his eyebrows.
"My thinking is sharp, my logic is clear, and my theoretical knowledge is solid enough. I can quickly find the direction I can answer from Professor Li Jinglin's questions. I also have a profound understanding of the music systems and development sources of the East and the West."
"Not bad, Professor Li, your first apprentice is in place."
Li Jinglin raised his eyebrows.
Hehehe smiled.
"This girl is indeed quite interesting, she has something."
"Keep going!"
soon.
The interview continued.
I interviewed several in a row.
The problems are also varied.
"What needs to be done in the performance techniques of Josef Suk's works to make them more in line with the characteristics of 20th century music?"
"What do you think are the essential differences between today's performers in terms of mood, timbre, narrative expression, and technical methods from performers of the last century?"
period.
Some Professor Zhang Yi is very satisfied, and some Professor Fang Ping is very satisfied.
However, Li Jinglin has always been non-committal and gave relatively average evaluations.
Until a boy who looked a little dull walked in.
Li Jinglin showed a more interested expression again.
"If you performed Li Jinglin's work, "Venice Carnival," how would you interpret it?"
The dull boy raised his hand and scratched his head.
He looked dumbfounded and not too smart.
"I don't know."
"."
Several teachers were slightly numb.
Such an honest and straightforward "I don't know" really made the teachers a little confused for a while.
"Every time I play the piano, my mood is different, so it is definitely difficult to understand and express this specific thing."
The dull boy frowned.
It seems that he is trying his best to express his feelings.
But it seems like I am scratching my head and I don’t know how to express it specifically.
So, he spoke in a way that can only be understood but not expressed.
"Well, yes, that's it, you know!"
"."
Professor Zhang Yi and Professor Fang Ping looked at each other.
Somewhat helpless.
This boy performed very well in the re-examination.
Not as good as Xu Xin.
But it's definitely in the top five.
I originally thought this student was pretty good.
But when I answered like this, I felt a little unsure.
"In other words, your interpretation of the work is different every time. After you interpret and understand the work, you make different interpretations based on your mood during each performance?"
Li Jinglin suddenly became interested.
Couldn't help but ask.
"Well, that seems to be the case!"
Don't say it.
This is what a dull boy says.
It really made Li Jinglin take it seriously.
That kind of people.
in the industry.
There are two titles.
One is a genius.
One is a madman! !
They will not interpret the same work according to the rules, but "I can interpret it however I like, it all depends on my mood today."
That is to say
Normally, the same piece of music is interpreted differently by different musicians, but if the same musician plays the same piece of music, the interpretation and interpretation will be extremely similar.
But this kind of person is different.
Every interpretation he gives will be affected by his mood, so the content expressed is completely different.
He can change it however he wants, as long as it suits his inner world, he will play it.
Although, it seems very willful.
But Li Jinglin knew.
Perhaps he is not suitable for romantic title music.
But if it is the classical period, some non-title music can blossom into quite a lot of different imaginations under the interpretation of such people.
This is a crooked talent, he looks crooked, but he is so crooked that he is awesome.
"In other words, in the B minor Violin Sonata you played in the re-examination, your idea of changing the continuous bow to a throwing bow from bars 72 to 78 was an improvisation on your whim?"
"Well, yes, because when I got to that section, I suddenly felt a bit like a kitten seeing an elephant."
Hear this answer.
Li Jinglin became interested immediately.
The sonata has no title, which means it has no obvious story content.
The little cats and elephants were all created by him.
As for the slurring section, it starts from the front and ends in a weak tone, reaching a crescendo, and then performs a sudden and strong processing in measures 72 to 78 to achieve a dramatic effect.
The dull male classmate in front of me did not follow the rules. Instead, when he suddenly felt strong, he changed the continuous bow into a throwing bow.
Although the sudden feeling is not particularly obvious, the overall color has produced a particularly active change.
Don't tell me, it's quite reasonable.
It's like a kitten with light footsteps heard the increasingly strong steps in the distance, then saw an elephant, and jumped up at this moment of sudden strength.
If a more rigid judge heard this, he would be very unhappy.
Because the changes are indeed very big and very different.
But Li Jinglin felt that this kind of treatment was really imaginative.
"Okay, okay, great, art requires imagination, art is imagination!"
Li Jinglin's eyes lit up.
"May I have your name?"
"Liu Liu Chenyang."
Take a disciple!
It’s time to take on some weird disciples.
There’s no guarantee that he will evolve into some kind of demon king!
