Tell us about the elements of musical art

1, the art of musical sound

Music is an art form that uses sound as its means of expression, and the shaping of musical imagery is accomplished with organized sound as the material. Therefore, as literature is the art of language, music is the art of sound. This is one of the basic characteristics of the art of music. As a means of expression of the art of music, sound has a number of characteristics that are different from other sounds in nature.

2, the art of musical hearing

Music is another art of hearing.

Psychology's directional reflex and probe reflex principle tells us that a certain distance from a variety of external stimuli, the sound of the most able to attract people's attention, which can force people's auditory organs to accept the sound, which determines the auditory art of the visual arts can play a more direct role in the people's emotions, shocking people's minds.

Music can only be expressed by sound and felt by the sense of hearing, but this does not mean that when people are creating and appreciating music, only the part of the cerebral cortex corresponding to the sense of hearing is excited, while the other parts of the cerebral cortex are in a state of inhibition.

In fact, the musician is not only through the channel of hearing, but with the whole body and mind to feel and experience, recognize and express life, which is no different from other categories of artists.

The difference is that in artistic conception and expression, the musician puts his personal multifaceted feelings into auditory imagery through figurative thinking, and then expresses them in concrete audio forms.

3, music emotional art

In all forms of art, music is the most skillful at expressing emotions, the art form most capable of stirring the heartstrings, which uses sound as a medium to truly convey, express and feel aesthetic emotions.

Music is superior to other forms of art in conveying and expressing emotions because it uses sensual materials and aesthetic forms - sound is the most suitable for the nature of emotions, the most suitable for expressing emotions. Or solemn, or passionate excitement, or grief and anger, or lingering delicate, or as sobbing ...... music can be more direct, more genuine, more profound expression of human emotions.

4, music time art

Sculpture, painting and other forms of art solidified in space, so that people at a glance. We appreciate the work of art, the first to see the whole of the work of art, and then, only to taste its details. Music, on the other hand, unfolds and flows in time.

We appreciate music, first from the details of the beginning, from the beginning of the local, until the whole song is played (sung), will leave us an overall impression. It is impossible to get a complete musical imagery by listening to only individual pieces of a musical work. Therefore, the art of music is again an art of time.
