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.

科普兰(Aaron Copland,1900年11月14日—1990年12月2日),美国作曲家。祖籍美国,是第一位被认为有本土风味的美国作曲家。科普兰的老师是戈德马克,他的第一首作品是《管风琴交响曲》(第一交响曲,1924)。这首作品1925年首演后,科普兰被贬为不协和音的信徒,指挥家达姆罗什当时曾说:“才23岁就写出这种东西,再过5年会。”

Aaron Copland gives you an insight into the form and structure of music and how one should be listening to music. If you love music or have a passion for it whether as a musician or listener this book is invaluable. Invaluable is a strong word but I do not know how else to express the appreciation and rewards gathered by the reader from Copland's writings. It transcends all types of music making it universally adaptable for what one would hope to gain by reading it. The text is old but the message is eternal.
