Journal Essay - How High and Low is Music?!
The height of the music?!
In the past six months, I have listened to an hour of classical music audio programs almost every day if I have time, and I feel very fond of it.
When listening to classical music, there is always a rhythm in my heart that I used to have in my heart, and I feel curious from time to time, so I think about it more, is music really high and low?!
If you talk about the amount of information, there is; Simple pop songs contain little information, such as a child lying in bed listening to a sound by the window; Classical music, like adult thinking, naturally has a huge amount of information, and there is a slight difference between Chinese guqin (representative of Eastern classical music) and Western classical music (represented by symphonies).
The Chinese ancient music (Oriental classical music) represented by the guqin is an extension of time and space, and does not deliberately pursue the complexity of the information itself, while the Western symphony (the representative of Western classical music) is seriously conveying the information itself; For example, if a person sits slowly by the window for a day, Chinese classical music is conveying the picture itself, while Western classical music is trying to describe the sound of rain or wind outside the window, the life in the house, the swing of the window, and the whispering of children...... infinite complexity and make it beautiful; But other than that, is the music itself hierarchical, or high-low? If music has divinity, can we say that children's laughter is low, and adults' laughter is high? If music has no divinity, how can we divide this kind of high and low?! And if there is a sound that can be listened to by animals and animals, it must be a small simple sound by the window, as it is not complicated as a child hears it, so we should not have the impression that the music is high and low, but only feel the beauty with our hearts.
If a person can no longer accept modern pop music (including popular songs) after listening to classical music, it must be his own heart that is doing something wrong, and he may not be feeling anything at all but only comparing;
In the same way, if a person who only listens to pop music feels that he cannot like and feel the beauty of classical music, we can only say that he thinks too much, in fact, all he needs is a little time and patience, after all, he only needs to listen to the beauty in it, not let him express this beauty, everything is not so difficult!
The above two paragraphs are more words, so my text really has no level, just an expression, my readers and I should also talk like two ordinary people, and it will not hurt to be more or less beneficial, that's all, nothing else, please forgive me!
