  Now the study of interdisciplinary research has become a new trend in the academic community。But,Because some concepts are sliding,When conducting interdisciplinary research,Lack of conceptual framework、Vague places need to be paid attention to。The "music" of literary works is one of the examples。At present, the research on literary criticism of literary works "music" is generally limited to simply comparing music with music or music characteristics,Therefore, it ignored the historical background of a certain type of music and the changes in the cultural significance of its experience,These are also the constituent factors of "music"。This article intends to take Western novels as an example,Review the music of Western literary works,Multi -layer dimensions included by discovering the concept of "music"。
  
  "Music" is a concept of sliding
  
  At present, when foreign scholars study the relationship between music and literature,The wording of "music", "music novel", "music in literature" is used。Domestic research on the interdisciplinary of music and literature,Some scholars have used the term "music",Some scholars also directly use "Music narrative" to summarize the narrative features related to music in literary works。This article believes that "music" is part of "music narrative",Therefore, the concept of "music" will be used with "music narrative" below。

  "Music" is a concept of sliding,Cultural coding meaning,Can't simply equate it with the meaning of "music characteristics similar to a certain music"。otherwise,"Music" should bet365 best casino games also include another dimension,That is the original cultural trace of a certain type of music,and the cultural runes and historical significance that has been precipitated after the changes of the times。The appearance of the concept of "music" is related to the historical evolution of music as an independent discipline。It originally refers to the music of music,This implies the difference between music and other disciplines,Become an independent discipline。Starting from the 18th century,Some experimental creations of music make absolute music — that is, it is simply composed of music itself、There is no clear title or text to explain its theme music form -starting to clear the line with other arts。In Western Music Aesthetic Critics,Absolute music is often considered a form of self -reliance from the artistic tradition,It will dance、Language exclusion is outside。Therefore, there are two oppositional views in music aesthetic criticism: a form of art that believes that music is defective,Because it lacks a characteristic element that helps it comprehensively express self,,For example, dance or language; the other thinks absolute music is real music,It can surpass the limitations of language,The essence of things that exist in the existence of transcendence。

  But,The music of music novels can only be interpreted in non -music context,How can it be defined? first,The environment and historical background generated by specific music forms are different。Based on this reason,British scholar Emily Krapley pointed out,"Music" concept "often play a role when culture changes,When the past artistic tradition is questioned、When the new art form is formed,This concept has become an important weapon in Bet365 app download people's debate,The two sides of the struggle waved their own 'music',Show your better understanding of music meaning and essence "。Music, therefore engraved the marks of the original culture。other,The same music type is not only different in the horizontal/common level,and at the durability level, I am constantly experiencing changes。The original cultural environment when a certain music type is generated,Perhaps the historical environment of the historical environment when we are currently looking at this form of music。Therefore,Some kind of music form has gone through the historical codes and codes set by the baptism of the times,The meaning of people give music in a specific culture and social context,It is also an indispensable element that constitutes the concept of "music"。 

  I take the work of British writer Virginia Woolf and the post -modern novelist E. L. Dortro as an example,Further explain the music of Western novels。 
  
  Woolf's understanding of literary works "music"
  
You can see in "Virginia Woolf Diary",Woolf has his own unique literary aesthetics,Think that literary works must have aesthetic value。Her disgust without beauty preaching novels,Hope literary works are read like admiring music works。Her emphasis on Chinese aesthetics of literary works is closely related to the aesthetic concept of 19th century。Eww Woolf's work "Waves" (The Waves) as an example,Critics have divergent opinions on their music,Different music styles and types they have interpreted from the work have conflicts with each other、Irreamed phenomenon,The root cause of the problem is that their understanding of "music" is from their own preferences。

  So how do Woolf understand music? She thinks,Music occurs when the author writes his perception Bet365 lotto review of life into the work,A pattern or pattern presented by philosophical thinking。The reason why its works are interpreted as a music type that contradicts each other,In fact, because this is her own music,Begamed a specific music style or a single song。Woolf believes "These are not integrated、seemingly messy sound,The greater ears created by the greater mind actually produced a kind of harmony "。It can be said,"Waves" shaped its own music with text。 

  Visible,To understand the music of Woolf's works,The writer's own music aesthetics should also be considered。But this is rare in literary criticism。Many scholars are when studying the music that they pay attention to,Both your views on the music of the music are limited to the past music involved in this music、Culture and aesthetic practice,instead of seeing Woolf's own commemorative viewing of the music of the old music。
 
  Therefore,"Music" is a music、Literature、The concept of walking in the author and other fields。Only when we realize it is a fresh life、sliding、When the concept of unjust boundary,We can correctly understand the implicit meaning provided by art works at the music level,can correct the concept of the novel correctly。Cross -media understanding of music,On the basis of viewing the past and current music aesthetics,Make a cross -media connotation discerning analysis of music。 
  
  Music narrative in "Lagatim Times"
  
  Dortro's novel "Lagatim Times" selected by the story background of the Lagatim Times (1897-1917),Witches the rise and fall of Ragtime (Ragtime)。Lagatim Music developed by African artists in southern and central regions at the end of the 19th century,prevailing in the 20th century of the 20th century,laid a solid Bet365 lotto review foundation for the rise of jazz about 1920,One of the source of becoming a jazz。

  The significant feature of Lag Tai Music is that the left hand is a balanced and stable double -shot bass rhythm,Use the scoring sound of the right hand to cause the strong and weak to shoot an abnormal level,Cutting sounds often appear continuously,Frequent changes in the melody rhythm,Forms uneven beats。It is this melody and shaped its unique contrast and tension,Lagatim song becomes humorous、lively、Cheer up,Created a unique multi -melody feature。
 
  Dortro's creation in the "Lagatim Times",I cleverly expresses the rhythm of Lagtim music、Frequent cuts、Broken、Division and other characteristics,The language of the novel、Structure and writing skills。Novel The text rhythm is clear,Sentence、Chapter to narrative skills、The style of style reflects the characteristics of the bilateral melody,and reflect a fragmentation of a post -modern image。The uneven beats highlight the unique music aesthetic value of the novel。European scholar Verna Wolf pointed out in the book "Music of Novels: Cross -Media Theory and History Research",This text、Music reflected in the structure and narrative skills,Music narrative that can be summarized as "intuitive presentation mode"。

  In addition to "Auditively presenting mode",Wolf also mentioned another "telling mode" of cross -media music narrative,Refers to the story of the musician、Shape the image of the musician,It also includes commenting and thinking about music。"Lagatim Times" while presenting the melody full of tension,Also outlines the image of the small Corchus in the book of the book and the tragic life story caused by the Bet365 app download counterattack racial discrimination,Music narrative that shows the mode of telling mode。

  At the same time,Novels present a hidden music narrative of double -channel theme: the sound of rolling wheels of industrial development fits the stable bass accompaniment of the left hand,The feminist movement represents the elephant when prosperous、Labor movement and other incidents echoed the changing melody of the right hand。In this right -hand turbulent and changing notes, there is an unchanged appeal of the times: the fighting practice of musician Korhaus and the gentle cultural improvement efforts of the Socialist Jewish father,It symbolizes the firm and continuous efforts of the US minorities in the early 20th century to fight for the coexistence of races,Echo the stable accompaniment of the left hand again。The two music narratives of the hidden music narrative and intuitive presentation and the description mode also echo the internal and external。Learn from the above two categories,Music narrative at this theme level can be summarized as "theme mode"。
 
  To sum up,"Lagatim Times" form and content level of music narrative inside and outside,complement each other。Readers are scattered、collage、Find a clue in the staggered text,Constructing a complicated social panorama in the early 20th century,This process is also similar to recognition when appreciating music、A pleasant experience of the melody and theme,The novel has a high degree of music aesthetic value and historical thickness。
