中西方古典音乐的差异来源于中西方古典生活与审美方式及思想传统的不同。“韵”和“律”这一对概念将中西古典音乐美学上的差异表达得很清晰。作为中西古典音乐代表性乐器的古琴和钢琴则分别呈现了“琴韵”与“琴律”两种不同的美感形态。 The differences between Chinese and Western classical music originated from the differences between Chinese and Western classical life and aesthetic methods and ideological traditions. The concept of “rhyme” and “law” express clearly the differences between Chinese and Western classical music. As a representative instrument of Chinese and Western classical music, the guqin and piano show two different aesthetic forms of “Qin Yun” and “Qin Lv” respectively.
