Publish Date: 1995-05-01
Features: This book is composed of selected chapters rewritten from several opera music teaching materials written by the author over the years. It strives to follow the format of a textbook, providing a concise outline of the vast world of opera music. Considering that general readers have limited basic knowledge of opera music, the book includes more introductory explanations alongside theoretical discussions. It also introduces new research findings within the field, as long as they are well-supported. For issues that are currently debatable, different viewpoints are presented separately for further discussion in specialized studies. The book covers major theoretical courses offered in conservatories, such as the history of Chinese and Western music, the fundamentals of music aesthetics, and ethnomusicology theory. It balances theoretical depth with accessibility.
