Procedures

▇Warming up by learning about “music”

What is music?

Music is often defined by contrast with noise or speech. Some definitions of music place it explicitly within a cultural context by defining music as what people accept as musical.

Broadly, here are some groups of definitions:

●Those that define music as an external, physical fact, for example "organized sound", or as a specific type of perception

●Those that label it, according to context, as a social construction or subjective experience

●Those that label it as an artistic process or product, with the related psychological phenomena

▇Before you read Now we shall take An Interview with Liu Fang on page 32. But first please go over the word list for this module, paying attention to the pronunciation of the word, the relationship between its pronunciation and its spelling. ▇While you read While reading the text try to cut/ the sentences into thought groups, blacken

the predicates, underline the useful expressions and darken the connectives. An Interview with Liu Fang Part 1

Liu Fang is

an international music star, famous/ for her work/ with traditional Chinese instruments. She was born /in 1974/ and has played the pipa since the age of six. She's given concerts/ since she was eleven，including a performance/ for the Queen of England/ during her visit/ to China. She graduated from the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, where she also studied

the guzheng/ in 1993．

What is your musical training and background? My mother is

a Dianju actress. Dianju is

a kind of Chinese opera, which includes

singing, dancing and acting. When I was

a child, she took

me to performances. I listened

to music/ before I could speak! When I was five years old，she taught me to play the yueqin In 1990, when I was 15 years old, I went to the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, where I studied

the pipa/ and the guzheng. After I graduated, I went back to

my hometown of Kunming/ and worked/ as a pipa soloist of the Kunming Music and Dance Troupe. In 1996, I moved to Canada /with my husband/ and I have been living there/ since then. What are the biggest challenges of playing the pipa and the guzheng? If your technique is not good enough，it is impossible/ to play classical Chinese pipa music. Also, the repertoire/ for the pipa is large—some pieces were written/ during the Tang Dynaasty. There are

many different pipa schools, and each one has its special way of interpreting the classical pieces. The biggest challenge is to respect the traditions/ but to add my own style. The same is true of my second instrument, the guzheng.

Part 2 Who or what are your musical influences? The main influence is traditional singing. I listened to traditional opera singing/ and folk songs/ in my childhood．Now when I am playing a tune, I am singing/ in my heart. When I'm playing a sad tune, l am crying/ in my heart. Listeners often say that/ they can hear singing/ in music. What characteristics of Chinese classical music do you try to show in your playing? Firstly, Chinese music is

similar/ to the Chinese language. In Chinese, the same pronunciation/ with different tones /has

different meanings. The same is

true/ for music. Secondly, classical Chinese music is closely connected/ to Chinese poetry, so/ it isn't surprising that/ most classical pieces/ have very poetic titles. Thirdly, classical Chinese music/ and traditional Chinese painting/ are like twin sisters. In Chinese art, there are some empty spaces, which are very important. They give life to the whole painting/ and they allow people/ to come into the picture, like a dialogue. It's the same/ with classical Chinese music. There are empty spaces, and people say/ the silence is full of music. The pipa sounds and the pauses/ combine/ to make a poetry of sound. Listeners

can experience the power and the beauty of the music, like enjoying a beautiful poem or painting. Part 3 What do you like best about performing live? I enjoy playing/ and I enjoy performing/ in public. I like the atmosphere/ in a concert hall/ and I always feel happy /when I have a concert. I feel a little depressed/ or lonely/ when there is no concert/ for a long time. I also enjoy the time/ immediately after the concert/ to share the feelings and ideas/ with friends/ and music lovers, listening to their impressions/ and understanding/ about the music. I love my career. I also enjoy travelling: I enjoy sitting in a plane/ dreaming, or staying in a hotel. What are your goals as an artist? I don't have a particular goal. But/ I hope

to work with many composers, and I also wish

to compose my own music. My background is traditional Chinese music. Since I moved to Canada, I have had

opportunities/ to make contact with other musical traditions/ and

play with master musicians. I wish to continue working with master musicians/ from other traditions/ and to be able to compose my own music, using elements/ from different cultures. I also wish

to introduce classical Chinese pipa /and guzheng music/ to every corner of the world.

(Keys: 1. internationally 2. traditional 3. musical 4.with 5.playing 6.learn 7.influence 8. classical 9. music 10.of ) Study the notes to the difficult sentences: 3.

I have been living there since then.从那时起，我就一直住在那里。have been living是现在完成时态，其基本用法是：

1）表示从过去某时开始一直延续到说话时还在进行，或可能还要继续下去的动作。它通常和“for+段时间”或“since+点时间(也可以是从句)”的时间状语连用。例如：I have been waiting for a letter from my parents.

我一直在等我父母的来信。It has been raining for three hours.

雨已经下了三个小时了。We have been studying here since 2004.自从2004年以来，我们一直在这里学习。2）表示从过去某时开始，一直延续到说话时刻，可能刚刚结束的动作。例如：She has been sweeping the street all day. She is too tired. 她一整天都在扫大街。她太累了。We have been waiting for you for two hours. We don't want to wait any longer. 我们已经等你两个小时了。不想再等了。

4.

It isn't surprising that most classical pieces have very poetic titles. 多数古典乐曲具有诗一样的标题也就不奇怪了。that到句号是主语从句，it是形式主语。

为了防止句子头重脚轻，通常把形式主语it放在主语位置，真正主语搁置于句末，如：

1）It is certain that he will win the match. 2）It is true that he has made a very important discovery in chemistry. 3）It is very likely that they will hold a meeting. 4）It is strange that he should do that. 5）It is important that we all should attend the meeting. 6）It is strange that the man should have stuck to his silly ideas. 7）It is a pity that we won't be able to go to the south to spend our summer vacation. 8）It is still a mystery what caused the accident. 9）It is said that he has gone to shanghai.(=He is said to have gone to shanghai) 10）It is known to all that the gun powder was first invented by the Chinese. 11）It is suggested that the work should be done with great care. 12）It seems that he has seen the film.(=He seems to have seen the film) 13）It happened that the two cheats were there. (=The two cheats happened to be there)
