Mutual Learning Among Civilizations and Translation of Instrumental Music:Taking as an Example the Translation of Chinese Opera Elements into Piano Music
In the localization of Western music in China and globalization of traditional Chinese music,musical instruments are important carriers for Chinese and Western music to break through language barriers,to communicate between each other,and to achieve innovations.How to use Western musical instruments for Chinese expression is also an important path for the exploration and development of Chinese music.Chinese opera and piano art are the most representative artistic quintessence of Chinese and Western music cultures,respectively.Originated from the ancient primitive song and dance,Chinese opera is a comprehensive stage art with a long history.As the crystallization of national traditional culture,it embodies the aesthetic psychology of the nation and contains profound philosophical enlightenment.Chinese composers consciously introduce opera music elements into their piano creations,resulting in the exchange,collision and integration of different artistic fields,forms and cultures between China and the West,and the translation of each other's musical languages.This path can not only re-stimulate the artistic vitality of traditional opera,but also promote the complementary advantages of the two art forms,the exchange and mutual learning of the aesthetics of Chinese and Western cultures and civilizations,and the diversified and national expression of modern music.Based on the theory of translation,this paper attempts to clarify the theory,reasons and feasibility of the translation of opera elements in Chinese piano music as a whole,tries to refine the effective path and method of translation,analyzes the new artistic aesthetic characteristics that each of the opera elements and piano music gives to each other in the complementarity,and further investigates the internal relationship between instrumental music translation and mutual learning between civilizations,hoping to provide more references for the theory and practice of current and future music creation.This article consists of three parts.The first part discusses the theoretical construction of mutual learning between civilizations and instrumental music translation,and expounds the feasibility,necessity and contemporary value of translating traditional Chinese opera into piano music.The second part analyzes in detail the path of translating opera into piano music through specific case analysis and summary,that is,combining the connotation of traditional Chinese culture and the public's aesthetic entertainment needs,and allowing piano music to create and display imitations of sound,form,and spirit in traditional Chinese opera.Finally,this paper expounds the aesthetic complementarity and mutual learning of civilizations in the translation of instrumental music,discusses the comprehensive traditional aesthetics and cultural consciousness behind the skills presented in the process of translating opera elements into piano music and arouses more realistic thinking.Through the analysis and interpretation of the translation of Chinese opera elements into piano music,this paper further explores how to better shape the concrete and material image of Chinese civilization,in order to continuously deepen aesthetic integration and cultural mutual learning in the process of constructing a localized music spiritual matrix.
