A composer writes a work, but no one can hear it until it is performed. Professional singers and players have great responsibilities, for the composer is utterly dependent on them. A student of music needs as long and as arduous a training to become a performer as a medical student needs to become a doctor. Most training is concerned with technique, for musicians have to have the muscular proficiency of an athlete or a ballet dancer. Singers practice breathing every day, as their vocal chords would be inadequate without controlled muscular support. String 4players practice moving the fingers of the left hand up and down, while drawing the bow and to and fro with the right arm two entirely different movements. Singers and instrumentalists have to be able to get every not perfectly in tune. Pianists are spared this particular anxiety, for the notes are already there, waiting for them, and it is the piano tuners responsibility to tune the instrument for them. But they have their own difficulties: the hammers that hit the strings have to be coaxed not to sound like percussion, and each overlapping tone has to sound clear. This problem of getting clear texture is one that confronts student conductors: they have to learn to know every note of the music and how it should sound, and they have to aim at controlling these sounds with musical knowledge and understanding. Great artists are those who are so thoroughly at home in the language of music that they can enjoy performing works written in any century. 画家将已完成的作品挂在墙上，每个人都可以观赏到。作曲家创作完了一曲作品，得由演奏者将其演奏出来，其他人才能欣赏。因为作曲家完全地依赖于职业歌手和职业演奏者，所以职业歌手和职业演奏者肩上的担子可不轻。一名学音乐的学生要想成为一名演奏者，需要经受长期而严格的训练，就像一名学医的学生要成为一名医生一样。绝大多数的训练是技巧性的。音乐家们控制肌肉的熟练程度必须达到与运动员或巴蕾舞演员相当的水平。歌手们每天都练习吊嗓子，因为如果不能有效地控制肌肉的话，他们的声带将无法满足演唱时的要求。弦乐器的演奏者练习的则是在左手的手指上下滑动的同时，用右手前后拉动琴弓这是两个截然不同的动作。歌手和乐器演奏者必须使所有的音符完全协调。钢琴家们则不用操这份心，因为每个音符都在那里等待着他们来弹了。给钢琴调音是调音师的职责。但调音师们也有他们的难处：他们必须耐心地调敲击琴弦的音锤，不能让音锤发出的声音像是打击乐器发出的，而且交叠的音中每一个音都必须要清晰。如何得到清晰的乐章是学生指挥们所面临的难题：他们必须学会了解音乐中的每一个音及其发音之道。他们还必须致力于以热忱而又客观的权威去控制这些音符。除非是和音乐方面的知识和悟性结合起来，否则单纯的技巧没有任何用处。艺术家之所以伟大，就在于他们对音乐语言驾轻就熟，他们可以满怀喜悦地演奏出任何时代的作品。（二）（二）TheThe MusicMusic WithinWithin 心灵深处的音乐心灵深处的音乐生命是什么？这是个见仁见智的问题。生命在四季变换中流转演绎，一季有一季的风情。或许春有骤雨连绵，夏有骄阳似火，秋有落叶寂寥，冬有风雪凛冽5Life .
