无词歌的首创者,德国作曲家门德尔松认为,音乐比文字更加清楚,明确,易于为人们所接受,而文字在音乐面前就显得无能为力,难以表达音乐的内容。他说:“每当我用文字表达音乐的内容时,总感到有些好象是说对了,但同时又感到说得全都不令人满意。”因此,门德尔松常常把他的无词歌寄给家人,来代替文字表明他的思想感情状况。 Mendelssohn, the German composer who is the first author of no-songwriting, thinks music is clearer, clearer and easier to read than words, and the words seem incapable and difficult to express in music. He said: “Whenever I used the words to express the content of the music, I always felt that something was correct, but at the same time it was not entirely satisfactory.” Therefore, Mendelssohn often used his no-song lyrics Send to the family, instead of text to show his thoughts and feelings.
