Appreciation of the classical music performance at the scene,Often there are rules that are made in the following agreed: mobile phone adjustment into mute,Quiet seat,Keep quiet,Listening with concentratedly,and other works to applaud after the performance of the performance ... But,These seemingly correct ways to appreciate classical music performance are just unique phenomena in modern society,The era when these music works were born,Appreciation method is not so。

Classical music has a long religious tradition。For a long time,The development of European music is all dominated by religious music with churches as the core。Starting from the Pope Gurvi I (reigned from 590-604) to the Baroque period (17-18 century),The mainstream music performances in Europe are inseparable from the church。Although the earliest opera theater in Europe had started business at the beginning of the 17th century,But the composer at that time still mainly made a living for the church to create religious music。These music are worship in the church ceremony、Praise God's way,Need to participate in it。Take Bach as an example,Among the many works he created,Far song、Qingzhu and other music species are functional music for the church ceremony of the German Luther School,Two suffering songs "St. John's sufferings" and "Saint Horse Too Crusp" are the tracks performed on the day of Jesus,"Christmas Singing Drama" is a work performed on the birthday of Jesus (Christmas Day)bet365 best casino games ,And most of the other clearing dramas performed at the usual Sunday party。The praise in these tracks will usually be chorus with performers and the congregation at the time: when music performances are performed to the part of the praise,Convention Conference All stands up,Singing the melody of the highest sound of the four sounds together。Bach has created more than 400 songs or chorus that contains praise in the past,The quantity is so huge mainly because most of these works will not be performed publicly after the performance。And most of these works can only be published after Bach's death,Prove that the social functionality and times of these works are very strong,At that time, it was not appreciated by an immortal art for people at the time。In that era,Almost every major city church in Europe has a dweller musician,Perform the same responsibility。May,So far, there are still people in the concert hall quietly、Appreciate it focused。

In short,Most of the religious music during the Baroque period is music used in church etiquette,Need to participate together,to achieve worship、Praise function; not like the modern Bach music performance,Perform in the concert hall,Maintenance of the audience,Focus on、Passive appreciation。The secular music of that period was even more functional music,Many works of solo are to express personal emotions in daily life,Add an atmosphere to entertainment activities,or for teaching; the work of the ensemble is mainly the background music of the Yu Qing program or the background music of the palace or the nobleman's tea after dinner,Sometimes it is also used as a accompaniment of dance,Hendel's "Water Music" or "Royal Fireworks Bet365 app download Music" is a typical example of such works。This tradition has continued until the classical period (mid -18th century to early 19th century)。Haydon was once the richest for Hungary、The most influential family Estehaqi family has worked for more than 40 years。At the same time,In the classical period,Concerts facing the public began to rise,Liberty musician also begun to appear。

The French Revolution and Industrial Age in the late 18th century and early 19th century pushed public concerts to the peak。Convenience of traffic and the improvement of piano musical instruments also created a group of music stars。At that time,Germany、French and Austrian Opera House every music season hire the famous composer to create new operas at the time to expand the market。The concert hall of major European cities also scrambles to organize a popular concert,Invited the prominent performers to perform at the time,Attract the audience to buy tickets to enter the market for appreciation。Although the concert at the time was formally closer to modern,But the way of the audience to appreciate music is still very different from today's concert convention。The most different thing is that the performers and audiences in the concert will interact frequently,The interactive link was particularly popular at piano solo conferences that emerged in the 1930s。Liszt played several works created or adapted at the Italian solo in 1839,and the final improvisation of the concert, which is specified by the audience,This is also the climax of the concert all night。This link can be said to be a must -have part of the piano solo.,A paragraph in Mendel Songshu's letter reflects how this kind bet365 live casino games of performance is popular in Europe。He played Bether's "Fedeio" selection of Bether's "Fedeio" at the opening concert of the audience on December 3, 1836,。According to the literature record,Although Mendelson's impromptu performance has been unanimously appreciated by the audience,But he seems to have a micro -word about this practice。In a letter to his father, he wrote: "The last work of the first half of the concert is my" G Minor Piano Concerto ",At the end of the second half, I unfortunately need improvisation。Frankly speaking,I don’t like this way of playing,But the audience here must。"This historical record fully reflects the degree of fanaticism of the mainstream European audience at the time of the improvisation of performers at the concert。Before the Piano Soluper at Liszt began,The entrance to the concert hall will place a box similar to a voting box,The audience can write the melody or song name played by the hope performers improvised on the paper and put it in the box,For the improvisation of Liszt at the concert。If the audience cannot record the melody played by the player improvisation,or I don’t know the song name,You can also convey the melody to the stage in the form of a whistle,Let the performer improvise。

In the 19th -century concert,The participation of the audience is not only between works and works,Many times during the performance of a work: when the performer performed on the stage,The audience will applaud and cheer on the stage at the same time,To show appreciation。A picture painted by the 19th -century painter Hosman vividly records the behavior of the audience at the Liszt concert。It is said that,This painting Bet365 app download depicts a solo concert held in Berlin in 1842。Visible in the painting,Liszt's long hair fluttering、Yushu Linfeng,Sit in front of the triangle piano to open the music score。The audience under the stage mainly focuses on young and noble women,Each person's emotions are high: Some enthusiasts,Some pride drink,Some kisses to Liszt,Some throwing flowers on the stage,There are also some with a telescope to observe his heroic and handsome appearance,Everyone seems to be drunk。Liszt seems to enjoy the enthusiasm of the audience,A response: He flys on the key,Gently lift the audience under the stage with another hand,A gas field is full,Not inferior to today's Hollywood star,The atmosphere is no less than the modern rock concert。Of course,The scene in this painting may have a little exaggerated ingredients,And not every 19th -century performer can enjoy Liszt -like idol treatment at the concert。But at least one point can be sure,The way of appreciation of modern classical concerts "Silent and quiet、Ending Applause "was incredible in the 19th century。According to historical records,Even the 19th -century audience complained that the volume of the performers performed too much, so that they couldn't chat。We can speculate from another historical picture,This free and casual way of appreciation continues until the end of the 19th century。A oil painting existing in the Royal Opera in London, UK showed the grand occasion of the opening concert of the Queen's Concert in London on November 25, 1893: The command and orchestral bands were fully engaged in the stage,and the audience in the front row of the stage is in the end、Talking bet365 best casino games about laughter,The audience in the rear row does not have a seat,Stand or walk around and enjoy the performance。The tracks of the day include Mendelson、Tchaikovsky、Salvin、Gunuo and other 19th -century composers' works,It can be seen that the way to appreciate classical music at that time has a big gap with what we are used to now。

The recording technology of the 20th century brought tremendous changes to the appreciation of music, especially classical music。Recording through recording,Listeners of classical music can be absolutely quiet、Focus on without external interference、Appreciate the music "Performance" in one go。Some contemporary musicians think,Recording is a perfect "performance",On -site performance should be imitated by the effect of the recording。During the classic music live performance,Any factors that weaken this effect are regarded as disrespect for music performance。The legendary pianist Gurd once said,Music transmission does not require the existence of audiences,It can be achieved through the recording technology,The audience in the concert hall will only be the destructive of music transmission,Weaken the charm of music。Gurd's decision to give up live performances completely when the performance is as good,Become a "recording pianist",Pursue the kind of pure music performance。And his performance concept is still widely respected。

After the elegant music and popular music parted ways in the early 20th century,When the recording industry is booming,The free interaction between the performers accused of weakening the charm of music,Gradually disappeared in the live performance bet365 best casino games of classical music,Become a performance feature of popular music。This also contributed to the so -called "correct" appreciation method of classical music today。
