The Language of Music
A painter hangs his or her finished pictures on a wall, and everyone can see it. A
[color=red]composer[/color] writes a work, but no one can hear it until it is performed. Professional
singers and players have great responsibilities, for the composer is utterly dependent
on them. A student of music needs as long and as[color=red] arduous[/color] 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 an athlete or a
ballet dancer. Singers practice breathing every day, as their [color=red]vocal chords[/color] would be
[color=red]inadequate[/color] without 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 movements.
Singers and instruments have to be able to get every note perfectly in tune. Pianists
are spared this particular anxiety, for the notes are already there, waiting for them, and
it is the piano tuner’s responsibility to tune the instrument for them. But they have
their own difficulties; the[color=red] hammers[/color] that hit the string have to be[color=red] coaxed[/color] not to sound
like percussion, and each[color=red] overlapping[/color] tone has to sound clear.
This problem of getting clear texture is one 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 controlling these sounds with fanatical but selfless authority.
Technique is of no use unless it is combined 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. composer 作家
