簡單粗暴原始版

day22 總結(jié)反思

這篇文章一開始被安妮老師說的超級害怕嘱函,以為里面會包含很多專業(yè)的音樂術(shù)語甘畅。但是在解決一些單詞之后,發(fā)現(xiàn)文章并沒有那么可怕往弓。在讀的過程中疏唾,我就在想象要是這個Van就在作者面前的話,一定會被作者咄咄逼人的語言和氣勢壓制得一句話也說不出來函似。里面很多的諷刺和事實舉例仿佛一直在啪啪打Van的臉槐脏。我印象最深刻的就是作者反駁說classical music is for pretentious snobs的觀點部分,最后一句各種例證甩出來撇寞,真的是讓讀者都感到很爽快顿天。

文章結(jié)構(gòu)

這一篇文章的結(jié)構(gòu)很清晰,開頭直接提出有人認為classical music is dead的觀點蔑担,進而據(jù)三個例子進行反駁露氮。在第二段中作者表示對古典音樂一直以來的消亡和危機已經(jīng)習(xí)以為常。第三四段中作者反駁到這些外人根本沒根沒據(jù)钟沛、不懂藝術(shù)的根本畔规,胡亂諷刺挖苦。第五段之后便是每小節(jié)一個中心論點恨统,進行反駁與論證叁扫。

但是安妮的第二個邏輯思路的問題卻難倒了我,我能分辨出每個駁論的要點畜埋,但是為什么不把將經(jīng)濟部分的“資金來源”和“市場份額”放在一起莫绣,而要分開呢?我起初是覺得可能是逐漸深入的關(guān)系悠鞍,看來看去覺得不太對对室;又覺得是分為dying和crisis兩個方面,但這個區(qū)分也不是很明顯。所以一直感到一頭霧水掩宜。

古典音樂

至于古典音樂蔫骂,我記得安妮發(fā)的TED演講里面,那個演講者講到一個失去哥哥的貧苦兒童在聽到肖邦的鋼琴曲之后也會熱淚盈眶牺汤。其實每個人都有欣賞音樂的天賦(雖然在這之前我一直覺得自己真的就是音盲)辽旋,但是我們總是不愿承認、沒有認識到檐迟。

從個人而言补胚,要學(xué)會去欣賞不同種類的音樂吧。如果說“雅俗共賞”是不是又有點偏見追迟?但是就是應(yīng)該古典音樂和流行音樂一同欣賞吧溶其。但這就涉及到一個問題,如何讓普通人都懂得欣賞古典音樂敦间,而不是只有中上層階級的人才能握联?或許我們可以在教育課程體系中加入,或許我們可以一點點的去學(xué)習(xí)每瞒,最重要的是能有一些公益講座讓大家意識到這種藝術(shù)的重要性金闽,帶領(lǐng)大家一起學(xué)會欣賞他的美。

對美國的古典音樂如此剿骨,那我們中國的自己的傳統(tǒng)音樂形式呢代芜?仿佛這些道路都是任重而道遠…...
