内容简介
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.
作者简介
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.
精彩书评
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.

绕了几个圈子就是要说“只可意会,不可言传”,作者明显很有空,所以将大把时间挥霍在废话上。音乐普及本来就面向大众,简单明了易懂是基本啊,你别把别人的时间不当时间啊。

我一九一五年生于日托米尔,在乌克兰。那时还不这么叫,当时称为"小俄罗斯"。我父亲也生在那里,虽然他是德裔。他住在那里直到服役期。他后来去维也纳学钢琴和作曲,在那里交了不少出色的朋友,一些很出名的德国作曲家,例如弗朗茨.施莱柯尔。
