"The title music can be a macro or specific topic, and it is easy to talk about it for days and nights." Fan Ning sat down somewhere in a group of four single sofas, poured himself a glass of prune juice, and tried to expand on it.
Lenovo.
"This topic selection is very good." Lou Adair, who was sitting next to him, agreed, and then repeated the old tune, "Mr. Fanning, do you have any other works that need to be published recently? Compared with the last one,
Bid, I can also add some budget..."
Fan Ning marveled at this guy's persistence: "I did reserve some works for you, but let's listen to the gentlemen and ladies discussing the title music first."
Lu's face beamed with joy: "I pay tribute to your promise-keeping character and artistic inspiration."
"Title music" is actually simply a serious musical work for which the composer uses certain specific words as a title. For example, in Fan Ning's previous life, Vivaldi's Violin Concerto "The Four Seasons" and Beethoven's No. 6 "Pastoral Symphony"
”, Berlioz’s “Symphonie Fantastique”.
The opposite concept is "non-title music" or "pure music", which are not equipped with directional instructions. The work titles are often directly "Third Symphony", "First Violin Concerto" and "B Minor Piano Sonata"
wait.
It is worth noting that there are some works with familiar names that are not title music, such as Haydn's symphony "Astonishment" and Beethoven's piano sonatas "Moonlight" and "Passionate". These titles were added by publishers or music critics.
The purpose is to guide the audience's imagination and appreciation ideas, and there are also some commercial motives. They are actually still in the category of "pure music".
Title The title of the music must be added by the composer himself. Generally speaking, it is only recognized as "official announcement". It is a summary of the true ideological content of the work and a display of the composer's creative intention.
Moreover, the distinction between "title music" and "pure music" only applies to instrumental music works. Vocal music works do not participate in this distinction because they contain clear lyrics.
The period of authenticism in this world ended in the year 863 of the New Calendar, with the death of the great music master Giles. Since then, since entering Romanticism, "title music" has always been a well-deserved hot topic, and everyone has focused on "title music".
The rights and wrongs of "music" and "pure music" have been debated for half a century.
According to the salon process that Roy had communicated with Fanning before, several senior music fans, literary critics or music scholars would give introductions. The logic of these introductions was relatively more complete and they were equivalent to opinion leaders or authorities using the salon platform.
Export your own ideas, opinions or research results to the society.
However, the introduction is only a weak speech in nature. Participants can reject its views and choose not to listen, but whisper with other guests to discuss what they are interested in. According to the principle of freedom in the imperial salon culture, this is not considered a violation of etiquette.
He was the last one to give an introduction, which coincided with the premiere of the string quartet. After the performance, the salon entered the second half of the free discussion and social session.
At this stage, people break up completely and chat in groups of twos and threes, joining at will and exiting at any time. The experienced hostess will often flexibly intersperse among them to guide the topic, collect opinions, promote social interaction, and summarize the final moment.
Find material and inspiration.
A small number of guests were still not seated. While waiting for the main topic to begin, Fan Ning spoke to the little girl sitting on the sofa opposite him. "Qiong, there are so many snacks today, why don't you go get them?"
Qiong was still holding the score, and seemed a little restless: "The performance will be performed in just over 20 minutes. I can't eat too much, otherwise I may forget the score even more."
"Miss Nehemiah, were you full at the dinner just now?" Lu asked at this time.
"I eat very moderately." Joan said sadly, "Caron, I have an idea for you, I don't know if you can accept it..."
"What kind of thoughts?" "What kind of thoughts?"
Fan Ning asked subconsciously, but he didn't expect his voice to overlap with that of Sheeran who spoke at the same time.
"You first tell me whether you can accept it."
"First tell me what your thoughts are." Fan Ning insisted vigilantly.
"Can you just replace the second violin in your piece with a flute? It's all in treble clef anyway..."
Fan Ning, who was drinking prune juice, almost choked.
At the beginning of the introduction, a well-known female music critic holding a gold-lined fan stood up and spoke first. She pointed out that title music is not a new thing, but has appeared since the Middle Ages. The reason why it has become popular nowadays is because
It was literature, drama, painting and other sister arts that moved to the forefront of the development of Romanticism, thus inspiring composers to use literary titles to express their creative intentions and humanistic philosophy.
Vice President Huxley expressed a different view. He believed that the underlying reason for the rise of title music in recent years was that after the death of music master Gilles, the classical symphony was in crisis, which was reflected in the early days of romanticism such as Svelink and Al
When Finn and other composers faced difficulties in symphony creation, Gilles's great achievement became an insurmountable monument standing in front of them.
He further analyzed that as the new generation of composers has greater influence, music fans are increasingly looking forward to the new symphonies they will create, but this has brought about anxiety and questioning. These composers are balanced and rational.
, bound by the original game rules dominated by order and moderation, we can only find breakthroughs from new angles.
After the two people finished speaking, Roy, who was wearing a cream-colored silk dress, walked to Fan Ning's side, covered his collar and leaned over to remind him gently: "Mr. Fan Ning, there are still about 15 minutes until the performance."
Fan Ning nodded slightly: "Well, everyone, please follow Miss Roy to the backstage to prepare."
Xilan was the first to respond with action, and then Lu took a deep breath and stood up: "I'm already eager to try."
"Caron, I suddenly feel hungry again." Joan looked at Fan Ning pitifully.
"When you finish your performance, the entire cake tower here, Miss Roy, will be yours," Fan Ning said.
Sheeran gave practical advice: "Joan, you have performed very well in recent rehearsals. Just treat the audience like cabbage later."
Fan Ning sent the four of them to the curtain at the corner of the corridor. Before they separated, Roy, who was holding the curtain at the end, looked back at him.
Looking at Qi Yi in her eyes, Fan Ning finally encouraged her softly: "Come on, I will always be watching from the audience."
Roy smiled, winked happily to himself, and then drew the curtain.
The sharing continued. The speaker at this time was a gentleman who spent more than 1,000 pounds in the city concert hall every year. He systematically sorted out the history of the dispute between "title music" and "pure music" and divided the opposition between the two parties into
There are two stages:
The first stage was the embryonic period of the debate in the first 30 years. The publication of Swearinck's piano music and painting collection "Steam and Speed" and Rolfing's symphony "Awakening" caused an uproar in the music world and a group of new era romantics.
They rallied around them and tried hard to follow their creative trends, while the composers who supported the originalism fell into a creative ebb and expressed their disapproval in a passive escape way.
The second stage was the heyday of the debate in the past 20 years. The "pure music" camp began to fight back. Master Nieman, who premiered the "Piano Concerto No. 1 in C minor" at the graduation concert of the University of San Lenia, issued an "Aesthetic Manifesto"
, criticizing the lack of form in the title music and calling the words "eccentric" to cover up "complete indifference and sterility".
The "Declaration Incident" officially formed a sharply opposing camp between the two sides. Next, Niemann's friend Schillings, who had been planning for nearly 30 years, successfully premiered the "First Symphony "Untitled", which was summarized with a high degree of classical techniques.
His successful breakthroughs in humanistic philosophy earned him the title of "Heir of Gilles" among music critics. At this time, the opposition between the two parties reached a higher point.
After sharing this, this gentleman, a senior music fan, made a pessimistic prediction: The third stage of the opposition between "title music" and "pure music" will arrive in recent years, when the aesthetic crisis will reach its peak, and serious music may
Moving towards an era where style and concept are separated...
Probably because this music fan's information and evidence were very systematic, his argument was logically complete, and he had some perceptual knowledge. The audience at the salon listened very carefully at this time, and many people even sighed repeatedly to express their approval.
Marquess MacAdam, who was standing straight to the side, had a strong smile in her eyes. High-quality output, content that can arouse emotions, clear viewpoints, and good feedback were all things she was happy to see in the music salon.
.
She said elegantly but powerfully: "Let us invite the last introductor, Carolyn Van Ning, to come on stage to share his thoughts with us."
Fan Ning walked slowly towards the center of the salon hall.
Everyone's attention followed closely. Before that, the young gentleman had already taken his seat at the dining table and attracted their greatest attention twice during his identity introduction.
"My conclusion is not so pessimistic." Fan Ning said with a smile.
"I predict that in the third stage, the debate between 'title music' and 'pure music' will gradually die down. Both sides will begin to praise each other, each will take note of its merits, and then jointly welcome the glorious moment when romanticism reaches its peak."
The gentlemen and ladies present were silent as they all waited quietly for Fan Ning to demonstrate the above point of view.
Fan Ning calmly raised his hand and made a "please" gesture.
