西方指挥的角色从“亦此亦彼”到“由此及彼”再到“或此或彼”,其重心经历了从传统、现代到后现代的演变;主线是后现代因素逐渐增加。具体来说,就是由美学到反美学,由有序到无序,由确定到不确定,由形式到反形式,由结构到解构,由“结果”的作品到“过程”的作品,由审美距离到现场狂欢,由精英文化到世俗文化,由二元对立到多元共存,等等。这些后现代主义因素的增加,体现了西方专业音乐创作对后工业社会的反映。其中包括人“主体的消亡”、“主体零散化”、艺术与生活“界限的消融”等等。从美学上看,它的积极意义是不断的创新,消极意义是美的失落。所幸的是,后现代主义提倡多元,传统美学的存在也具有合理性。事实上,并非所有作曲家都创作后现代作品;在后现代主义盛行的时候,传统和现代主义依然在不断发出自己的声音。指挥的形象也一样,占据多数演出场合的,依然是“美的使者”。对我们而言,后现代主义指挥的表演具有重要的启发意义;至少在观念上鼓励我们不断探索的精神,激发人们的想象力和创造性,并促使大家思考后现代主义提出的诸种哲学、美学、社会学、自然科学、心理学等方面的问题。简单的否定是容易的,但是思考更具有意义。本文希望从指挥角色的演变这个“点”,引起人们对当代音乐现象和未来音乐发展的“面”的思考。 The role of the Western conductor changed from “also from one to another” to “from one to another” or “one or both” whose center of gravity has undergone an evolution from traditional to modern to post-modern. The main line is that postmodern factors are gradually increasing. Specifically, it is from aesthetics to anti-aesthetics, from orderliness to disorder, from determination to uncertainty, from form to anti-form, from structure to deconstruction, from “result” to “process” Distance to the carnival scene, from elite culture to secular culture, from dualism to pluralistic coexistence, and so on. The increase of these postmodern factors reflects the reflection of Western professional music creation on post-industrial society. Including “the demise of the main body”, “the main body is fragmented”, the abstraction of boundaries between art and life, and so on. From an aesthetics point of view, its positive significance is constant innovation, negative meaning is the loss of beauty. Fortunately, postmodernism advocates pluralism and the existence of traditional aesthetics is also reasonable. In fact, not all composers have created postmodern works; at the time of the advent of postmodernism, traditional and modernism are still making their own voices. Command the same image, occupy the majority of performance occasions, is still “the messenger of beauty.” For us, the postmodernist command of the performance of great enlightening significance; at least in terms of ideas to encourage us to continue to explore the spirit of inspiring people’s imagination and creativity, and urged everyone to think of the various postmodernist philosophy, aesthetics , Sociology, natural science, psychology and other issues. Simple negation is easy, but thinking makes more sense. This article hopes that from the point of view of the evolution of the role of command, people are encouraged to think about the contemporary music phenomenon and the “face” of future music development.
