Musical expression is the art of playing or singing music with emotional communication.The elements of music that comprise expression include dynamic indications, such as forte or piano, phrasing, differing qualities of timbre and articulation, color, intensity, energy and excitement. All of these devices are at the service of the composer's intention and they can best be interpreted by the performer. A performer aims to elicit responses of sympathetic feeling in the audience, and to excite, calm or otherwise sway the audience's physical and emotional responses. In a great artist, one can feel that it is the soul that is speaking to the audience. In more modest performances, one can sometimes sense the soul of the composer in the absence of a heightened interpretation. Expression can be closely related to breath, and the voice's natural ability to express feelings, sentiment, deep emotions. Whether these can somehow be categorized is perhaps the realm of academics, who view expression as an element of musical performance which embodies a consistently recognizable emotion, ideally causing a sympathetic emotional response in its listeners.〔London, J., (''Musical Expression and Musical Meaning in Context'' ).〕 The emotional content of musical expression is distinct from the emotional content of specific sounds (e.g., a startlingly-loud 'bang') and of learned associations (e.g., a national anthem), but can rarely be completely separated from its context. The components of musical expression continue to be the subject of extensive and unresolved dispute.〔Avison, C., 1752, (''Essay on Musical Expression'' )〕〔Christiani, A.F., 1885, (''The Principles of Expression in Pianoforte Playing'' )〕〔Lussy, M., 1892, (''Musical Expression: Accents, Nuances, and Tempo, in Vocal and Instrumental Music'' )〕〔Darwin, C., 1910, (''The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals'' )〕〔Sorantin, E., 1932, (''The Problem of Musical Expression: A Philosophical and Psychological Study'' )〕〔Davies, S., 1994, (''Musical Meaning and Expression'' )〕 ==See also== *Musical phrasing *Tempo rubato 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「musical expression」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
