The language of music

A painter hangs his or her 1. （finish） picture on a wall， and everyone can see it. A composer writes a work， but no one can hear it until it 2. （perform）. Professional singers and players have great responsibilities， for the composer is utterly 3. （depend） on them. A student of music needs as long and as arduous a training to become a performer as a medical student needs to become a doctor. Most training is concerned with technique， for musicians have to have the muscular proficiency of 4. athlete or a ballet dancer. Singers practice breathing every day， as their vocal chords would be inadequate 5. controlled muscular support. String players practice moving the fingers of the left hand up and down， while drawing the bow to and fro with the right arm—two entirely different 6. （movement）. Singers and instrumentalists have to be able to get every note 7. （perfect） in tune. Pianists are spared this particular 8. （anxious）， for the notes are already there， waiting for them， and it is the piano tuners responsibility to tune the instrument for them. But they have their own difficulties： the hammers that hit the strings have to be coaxed not to sound like percussion， and each overlapping tone has to sound clear. This problem of getting clear texture is 9. that confronts student conductors： they have to learn to know every note of the music and how it should sound， and they have to aim at 10. （control） these sounds with musical knowledge and understanding. Great artists are those who are so thoroughly at home in the language of music that they can enjoy performing works written in any century.

音樂的語言

畫家將已完成的作品掛在墻上，每個人都可以觀賞得到。作曲家創(chuàng)作完了一首作品，它得由演奏者將其演奏出來，其他人才能欣賞到。因?yàn)樽髑彝耆蕾囉诼殬I(yè)歌手和演奏者，所以他們肩上的擔(dān)子可不輕。一名學(xué)音樂的學(xué)生要想成為一名演奏者，需要經(jīng)受長期而艱苦的訓(xùn)練，就像一名學(xué)醫(yī)的學(xué)生要成為一名醫(yī)生一樣。絕大多數(shù)的訓(xùn)練是技巧性的，因?yàn)橐魳芳覀兗∪獾氖炀毘潭缺仨氝_(dá)到與運(yùn)動員或芭蕾舞演員相當(dāng)?shù)乃?。歌手們每天都練?xí)吊嗓子，因?yàn)槿绻荒苡行У乜刂萍∪?，他們的聲帶將無法滿足演唱時的要求。弦樂器的演奏者練習(xí)的則是在左手的手指上下滑動的同時，用右手臂前后拉動琴弓——這是兩個完全不同的動作。歌手和樂器演奏者必須使所有的音符完全協(xié)調(diào)。鋼琴家們則不用操這份心，因?yàn)槊總€音符都在那里等待著他們來彈。給鋼琴調(diào)音是調(diào)音師的職責(zé)，但調(diào)音師們也有他們的難處：他們必須耐心地調(diào)敲擊琴弦的音槌，不能讓音槌發(fā)出的聲音像是打擊樂器發(fā)出的，而且交疊的音中每一個音都必須要清晰。如何得到清晰的樂章是學(xué)生指揮們所面臨的難題：他們必須學(xué)會了解音樂中的每一個音及其發(fā)音之道;他們還必須致力于用樂理知識和他們對音樂的理解去控制這些聲音。藝術(shù)家之所以偉大，就在于他們對音樂語言駕輕就熟，他們可以滿懷喜悅地演奏出任何時代的作品。
