The comedy expression and style autonomy of absolute music in the eighteenth century
Parole chiave:
Comedy, Absolute music, The eighteenth century, Instrumental music, AutonomyAbstract
The western instrumental music culture in the 18th century presents a unique ‘comedy’ style. This article attempts to start from the musical manifestation layer (the influence of comic opera and the new trend of instrumental music), pass through the aesthetic concept layer (the combination of Enlightenment thought and comic consciousness), and then looks back to the musical style layer (the growth process of instrumental music ‘comedy’). In this way, we ‘restart’ the ‘field’ of western civilization in the 18th century, construct a circular chain of meaning generation of musical expression and cultural association, explore the conditions and reasons for the formation of comedy expression and style autonomy of absolute music in the classical period, and try to analyze this seemingly relaxed, but actually complex and profound topic interpretation in detail.
