The Language of Music
A painter hangs his or her finished picture on a wall, and everyone can see it. A composer 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 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 an athlete or a ballet dancer. Singers practice breathing every day, as their vocal chords would be inadequate 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 instrumentalists 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 hammers that hit the strings have to be coaxed not to sound like percussion (撞击、碰撞) and each overlapping 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 (狂热的) 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.
According to the passage, performers could best meet their obligation to composers by doing which of the following?
选项
A、Taking courses in art appreciation.
B、Knowing how the music was intended to be performed.
C、Studying works written at different periods in history.
D、Rearranging musical scores for their particular instrument.
答案
B
解析
原文最后一段中“Technique is of no use unless it is combined with musical knowledge and understanding.(除非与音乐知识和理解结合起来,技术是无用的)”可知,要把音乐作品演奏好,最关键的是理解作品并具备相关知识。根据这些信息,再观察选项,可知选项B是正确答案。
