內容簡介
Whether they listen to Mozart or Duke Ellington, Aaron Copland invites readers to ask two basic questions: Are they hearing everything that is going on? Are they really being sensitive to it? With his provocative suggestions, Aaron Copland guides readers through a deeper appreciation of the most rewarding of all art forms.
作者簡介
Aaron Copland’s well-known and highly regarded compositions, performed and recorded extensively throughout the world, include the Pulitzer Prize–winning ballet Appalachian Spring, as well as Billy the Kid, Rodeo, Lincoln Portrait, and the film scores of Our Town and The Heiress. On being awarded a Congressional Gold Medal in 1986, Copland was praised for his “uniquely American music that reflects the very soul and experience of our people.” During his career, Copland taught composition at Harvard and the Berkshire Music Center, lectured all over the United States, and wrote Our New Music and Music and Imagination. He died in 1990.
精彩書評
This is a reprint of the enormously popular 1957 edition of Copland's guide to music. There is no new text by Copland, only a new introduction by composer William Schuman, which is more an encomium to the "Dean of American Music." In large measure, the book owes its success to its simple, jargon-free language and engaging style. One wishes, though, that Copland might have added an assessment of the musical scene of the past 30 years. The bibliography has not been updated and is thus virtually useless, with the most recent entry 1955. Nonetheless, the book remains an excellent guide for the novice.

我一九一五年生於日托米爾,在烏剋蘭。那時還不這麼叫,當時稱為"小俄羅斯"。我父親也生在那裏,雖然他是德裔。他住在那裏直到服役期。他後來去維也納學鋼琴和作麯,在那裏交瞭不少齣色的朋友,一些很齣名的德國作麯傢,例如弗朗茨.施萊柯爾。

繞瞭幾個圈子就是要說“隻可意會,不可言傳”,作者明顯很有空,所以將大把時間揮霍在廢話上。音樂普及本來就麵嚮大眾,簡單明瞭易懂是基本啊,你彆把彆人的時間不當時間啊。
