现代音乐读者不禁要问,这些破铜烂铁是乐器吗?它们能演奏音乐吗?要回答这个问题,我们先来看看什么叫做乐器。乐器,顾名思义,就是“音乐的器具”,也就是使“音乐”这个抽象的东西变成为可以听得见的这样一件实在的物体。因此,乐器有两类,一类是自然的,另一类是人为的。自然的一类就是人声嗓喉;人为的一类包括人们刻意制作而成的,如钢琴、二胡等,还有人们将原来不是乐器的物体当作乐器来使用。 Modern music readers can not help wondering if these shoddy irons are musical instruments. Can they play music? To answer this question, let’s look at what is meant as a musical instrument. Musical instruments, as the name implies, are “instruments of music,” meaning that the abstract “music” becomes an audible object. Therefore, there are two types of musical instruments, one is natural and the other is artificial. The natural category is the vocal throat; artificial categories include people who deliberately made, such as the piano, erhu, etc., there are people who would not be the original instrument as a musical instrument to use.
