Music is the result of thought in the form of attitude. There is no one way of thinking, since men’s values are as scattered and dissimilar as individual men themselves. If black music can be seen as the result of certain attitudes, certain specific ways of thinking about the world, then my basic hypothesis about music is understood. The black man’s music changed as the changed, reflecting shifting attitudes or consistent attitudes within changing contexts. It is why the music changing seems most important to me.
When jazz first began to appear on the American scene during the twenties, in one form or another, it was introduced in many instances by white Americans. Yet its original conception and its most vital development were the result of certain attitudes, or experiential ideas, attributable to the Afro-American culture. Jazz as played by white musicians was not the same as that played by black musicians nor was there any reason for it to be. The music of the white jazz musician was, at its most profound, a learned art.
The blues, for example, which I take to be an independent black music, was practically ignored in pre-jazz white American culture. Blues is an extremely important part of jazz. However, the way in which jazz utilizes the blues "attitude" provided a musical analogy the white musician could understand, and thus he could arrive at a style of jazz music. The white musician understood the blues first as music, but seldom as an attitude, since the attitude of the white musician was necessarily quite a different one. And in many cases, it was not consistent with the making of jazz.
Thus, the trumpets(小号)of Bix Beiderbecke and Louis Armstrong were very dissimilar. The white middle- class boy from Iowa was an inborn intellectual and had an emotional life that was based on his conscious or unconscious disapproval of most of the custom of his culture. On the other hand, Armstrong was, in terms of an emotional model, an honored priest of his culture. He was not rebelling against anything with his music. The incredible irony of the situation was that both stood in similar places in the superstructure of American society: Beiderbecke, because of his isolation and departure from mass culture; and Armstrong, because of the socio-historical separation of the black man from the rest of American.
选项
A、Due to the environmental influences, the music of black and white artists must be very different.
B、Due to its result of thought, black artists’ music can be learned by white musicians.
C、Because jazz is created on inspiration, it is difficult for musicians to copy each other.
D、Because music has social significance, its influence on black white relations should not be underestimated.
答案
A
解析
主旨题。文章第一段写黑人音乐的变化;第二段讲黑人音乐家与白人音乐家演奏的爵士乐是不同的;第三段以布鲁斯音乐为例说明黑人与白人对爵士乐态度的不同。第四段从精神层面上比较了一位白人和一位黑人音乐家。通篇在比较黑人与白人音乐家的音乐的不同。A正确。B是对第二段最后一句话的曲解,原句是The music of the white jazz musician was,at its most profound,a learned art.(白人爵士音乐家的音乐,就算造诣再深也只是—种学来的艺术。)C、D内容文中没有提及。
