Chapter 882: Please Note It's Classical, Not Classic (Part I)
"Sister Liming, I said that my behavior was not wrong, of course there will be my own reasons. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Ye Zi said calmly, still with a shallow smile on his face.
After making a fuss for a while, Lin Liming definitely wanted to ask Ye Zi for the reason. For this problem, Ye Zi has spent a lot of time thinking about it, and it sounds orderly at this time.
Originally, especially after singing on the first day, Ye Zi was still a little apprehensive in his heart, and even he felt that such behavior seemed a little inappropriate, after all, it was a pop song at a classical concert, and that feeling was a little weird. However, Huang Baiwen's indiscriminate criticism, especially the "high profile" that despises pop music and classical music as the first in the world, successfully aroused the arrogance in Ye Zi's heart.
Originally, you could not have sung at all, but if you have such an attitude, then the master has to sing!
The support from teachers Sun Yun, Sir Cai Qingde and Wenhui made Ye Zi dispel the last trace of concern.
However, in between performances, Ye Zi has been thinking about this question, which is the focus of discussion in today's show - is it appropriate to sing pop songs in classical concerts? To this end, Ye Zi also had a good chat with Sun Yun and Cai Qingde, asked a lot about classical music, and asked their opinions. Finally, combined with some memories of Ye Zi's previous life, an answer finally took shape in his heart.
Tonight, he's going to say what he's thinking.
……
"Before I explain my reasoning, let me ask you a common sense question. We've been talking about classical music and pop music today, and we all know the concept of pop music, so I won't say more. But when it comes to classical music, the concept I've looked up these days is a bit confusing. So I would like to ask you, what exactly is classical music in everyone's mind? Ye Zi looked around and asked.
Li Renguang's face flashed with blue anger, the muscles in his neck suddenly shrank, and his teeth were already clenched. Now when he hears the word "common sense", Li Renguang can't help but be quietly excited.
Li Liang Fengxiu raised her eyebrows, she didn't expect Ye Zi to ask this question, but she was happy to teach the other party a lesson.
"Classical music in our usual sense refers to music composed in the mainstream historical and cultural background of Europe from the Baroque period, and it is famous for its complex and varied creative techniques and heavy carrying content. Its representatives can range from Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven and others in the 18th and 19th centuries to Rachmaninoff, Mussorgsky, Ravel and others in modern times. ”
"In my mind, this is classical music."
Li Liang Fengxiu's expression was pious, and his eyes were shining.
Steven raised his right hand and gestured, "I completely agree with Tiffany's definition of classical music, but I would like to add that classical music has a formal beauty, which means that it has a clear and balanced character, especially the form, so it has lasting value, and I think this is an important feature that separates classical music from pop music." ”
"Agreed, this is the sacred classical music in our hearts." Huang Baiwen's face was serious and serious, just like ...... It's the same as saying that I believe.
Perhaps for Huang Baiwen, classical music is really his belief. People of faith are at least respectable.
……
"Thank you Ms. Fengxiu, Mr. Steven, and Mr. Huang for your teaching, Ye Zi is ashamed."
Ye Zi put away his smile and stood up to thank the three of them. Even if we are opponents, we should show respect when it is time to show respect.
All three of them accepted him calmly.
"In the last few days, I've been looking up the definition of classical music, but after looking it up, I think it's very interesting, the explanation in the dictionary is a little different from the explanation just now." Ye Zi sat down again, and then spoke: "The explanation of classical music in the Oxford Dictionary is: music/in/traditional/and/serious/style (traditional and serious style music), this explanation is clear and concise. This is one of the most cited explanations, and can be found in many articles about classical music. ”
"In addition to the Oxford Dictionary, I also looked up another equally authoritative Longman Dictionary, which has a slightly more complicated explanation of classical music, but the general meaning is still similar: music/that/people/consider/serious/and/that/has/been/popular/for/a/long/time (serious music that people think has been around for a long time)."
Ye Zi moved out the homework he had done in the past few days, and everyone was looking at him, not knowing what he meant by saying the two dictionary noun explanations.
Ye Zi smiled faintly: "Generally speaking, in the absence of the latest developments, the explanations in the dictionary should be more authoritative, so the problem comes." ”
"Compared with the definition of classical music in the dictionary, the definition of classical music in the dictionary is obviously much narrower, and the classical music they define is much simpler than the classical music in the mouth of the three."
"So...... For someone like me who wants to explore classical music, which side should I take? ”
Li Liang Fengxiu, Steven, and Huang Baiwen looked at each other, and they were a little stunned for a moment. The precise definition in the dictionary is different from their understanding, isn't it normal, Ye Zi...... What exactly is he trying to say?
……
"Let's put that aside for now, let's look at another issue that has puzzled me a little bit before."
After Ye Zi asked, he paused for a moment and then continued, knowing that it was difficult for the three of them to answer the question just now. My personal opinion is indeed a bit unfair compared to the precise definition in the dictionary, so Ye Zi didn't plan to ask them to answer.
But this question is certainly useful, just for now, and I'll use it later.
"We know that the English name of classical music is classical/music, but in the hearts of many people, especially those who love classical music, its English name will subconsciously become classic/music."
"I'm a lover and learner of classical music myself, and I certainly understand and support that. But from a truly fair standpoint, the change from classical to classic is ...... Is it really proper? ”
Seeing that Li Liang Fengxiu and the others all had the intention of raising the microphone, without waiting for the three to speak, Ye Zi continued to speak.
This change is a bit close to the definition of classical music that the three of you just made, but in the strict sense of the word, your definition of classical music is not so much a definition as a celebration of it. Of course, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that, and I have a strong admiration for classical music as well. But when we talk about what classical music is, this kind of praise can skew our positions and opinions. ”
"I also know that such positions and views have long been formed in your hearts, and they cannot be changed at all. But at least one thing I would like to remind you of is that the name of classical music is classical, not classic, as you think it is. ”
"This is very important!"
Ye Zi said extremely seriously. (To be continued.) )
