situation, think of a traffic light as being
like tossing a coin, with a 50 per cent
chance of being red, and 50 per cent of
being green.(In fact most traffic lights
spend more time on red).If you encounter
six traffic lights on a journey, then you are
no more likely to escape a red light than
you are to toss six consecutive heads, the
chance of which is 1 in 64.
17 Red lights come up just as often
when the driver is not in a hurry; it's just
that the disadvantage of the red light is
considerably less if time is not
false part of the perception is that red
lights happen more than green
reason for this is simply that a driver has
more time to think about a red light than a
green light, because while the latter is
gone in seconds—and indeed is an
experience no different from just driving
along the open road—the red light forces
a change of behaviour, a moment of
exertion and stress, and then a deprivation
of freedom for a minute or lights

How we listen
1 We all listen to music according to our
separate , for the sake of
analysis, the whole listening process may
become clearer if we break it up into its
component parts, so to a certain
sense we all listen to music on three
separate lack of a better
terminology, one might name these: (1) the
sensuous plane, (2) the expressive plane, (3)
the sheerly musical only
advantage to be gained from mechanically
splitting up the listening process into these
hypothetical planes is the clearer view to be
had of the way in which we listen.
2 The simplest way of listening to music
is to listen for the sheer pleasure of the
musical sound itself. That is the sensuous
is the plane on which we hear music
without thinking, without considering it in
any turns on the radio while doing
something else and absent- mindedly
bathes in the sound.A kind of brainless but
attractive state of mind is engendered by
the mere sound appeal of the music.
3 The surprising thing is that many
people who consider themselves qualified
music lovers abuse that plane in
go to concerts in order to
lose use music as a
consolation or an escape. They enter an
ideal world where one doesn't have to think
of the realities of everyday course
they aren't thinking about the music
allows them to leave it, and
they go off to a place to dream, dreaming
because of and apropos of the music yet
never quite listening to it.
4 Yes, the sound appeal of music is a
potent and primitive force, but you must
not allow it to usurp a disproportionate
share of your sensuous plane is

我们是怎样听音乐的
我 们都按照各自不同的能力
来听音乐。但为了便于分析，如果
把听的整个过程分成几个组成部分，那么这个过程会更清晰一些。
从某种意义上来说，我们听音乐有
三个不同的层次。由于 缺乏更好的
术语，我们姑且把它们命名为：（1）
感官层次；（2）表现层次；（3）
纯音乐层次。把听的过程机械地分
割为以上三个假想的层次，唯一的
好处是让我们更清楚地了解 自己
是怎样听音乐的。


听音乐最简单的方式是为了去获取乐声带来的纯粹的愉悦感，
这是音乐的感官层次。在这个层次
上，我们只是听音乐， 不做任何思
考。我们打开收音机，一边做着其
他的事情，一边心不在焉地沉浸在
音乐中 。乐声本身的魅力带我们进
入一种无需思考的美妙心境。

令人意外 的是，许多自认为是
合格的音乐爱好者在听音乐时过
多地使用了这一层次。他们去听音
乐会是为了忘却自我。他们把音乐
当成一种慰藉，一种逃避，由此他
们进入了一个可以忘却日常 生活
的理想世界。当然，他们也没有在
思考音乐。音乐允许他们离开现
实，到另一个地 方去做梦，因为音
乐而做梦，做有关音乐的梦，却从
没有真正欣赏过音乐。


的确，乐声的魅力是一种强大
而原始的力量，但是你不该让它占据你过多的兴趣空间。感官层次是
音乐的一个重要层次，非常重要，
但并不是音乐的全部。

音乐存在的第二个层次就是
我所说的表现层次。一提到这 个问
题，我们马上就进入到一个颇具争
议的领域。作曲家总是设法避开有
关音乐表现方 面的讨论。斯特拉温
斯基不是曾经声称他的音乐是一
个“物体”，是一件有自我生命的
“东西”，除了纯音乐性的存在之
外没有任何别的含意吗？斯特拉
温斯基这种不妥协的态度可能 源
于这样的一个事实：有那么多的人
尝试着从众多的音乐作品中读出
完全不同的含意。 确实，要准确地
说出一部音乐作品的含意已经很
难了，要肯定并确定地说出来，还
要使 每个人对你的解释都感到满
意，是难上加难。但我们不该因此
走到另一个极端，不能去剥夺音乐
“表现”的权利。

可能的话，你不妨听听巴赫的

格主题。依次地、一个个地听听其
中的每一个主题，你很快就会意识< br>到每个主题都反映了一个不同的
情感世界，你很快也会意识到你越
觉得某个主题美妙，就 越难找到令
你完全满意的字眼来描述它。是
的，你当然知道那个主题是欢快的
还是悲伤 的。换句话说，你能够在
脑海中勾勒出那个主题的情感框
架。那么就更仔细地听一下这个悲伤的主题吧，要明确悲伤的性质。
是悲观厌世的悲伤，还是无可奈何
的悲伤？是时运不济的 悲伤，还是
强颜欢笑的悲伤？

假设你很幸运，能用许多词句
充分表达你对选中主题的确切理
解。但这仍然无法保证其他人对你

音乐存在的第三个层次是纯
音乐层次。除了令人愉悦的乐声及
其所表现的情感之外，音乐也因其
音符本身以及对音符的处 理而存

乐的这第三个层次。


对我们所有人来说，更加充分
地认识这个纯音乐层次非常重要。
毕竟乐曲使用的是实实在在的音
乐材料。聪明的听众一定要做好准

这些材料的使用的 理解。他必须要
更加有意识地倾听音乐的旋律、节

让我重复一遍，我仅仅是为了< br>讲解得更清楚才把听音乐的三个

我们从来都不会只在其 中的一个
层次上听音乐。我们其实是把它们
