Mr Ball goes through each component of music in turn to explain how and why it works,using plentiful examples drawn from a refreshingly wide range of different kinds of music,from Bach to the Beatles, and from nursery rhymes to jazz. If you can read music, you willfind yourself humming aloud to see what he means. If you can t, you might occasionally getlost among the technicalities. But before things get too rarefied, Mr Ball s facility forconveying complex facts in simple language comes to the rescue.
Ball先生曾通过依次检查音乐的每个成分来解释其运作机理,他从大量不同种类的音乐中抽取实例,从巴赫到披头士,从童谣到爵士乐。如果你能领悟音乐,你会发现自己通过大声哼唱来理解其中的含义。如果不能领悟,或许你会偶尔迷失在专业术语中。但是在事情变得简化之前,Ball先生以简单语言表达复杂实事的作用可以来救救场。
His basic message is encouraging and uplifting: people know much more about music thanthey think. They start picking up the rules from the day they are born, perhaps even before,by hearing it all around them. Very young children can tell if a tune or harmony is not quiteright. One of the joys of listening to music is a general familiarity with the way it is puttogether: to know roughly what to expect, then to see in what particular ways yourexpectations will be met or exceeded. Most adults can differentiate between kinds of musiceven if they have had no training.
