[news:/s/00:00.0-00:04.3] we are rapidly nearing the end of the course in the history of classic music
[news:/s/00:04.3-00:07.2] we have covered every several centuries in a very short time
[news:/s/00:07.2-00:12.1] much too short to do the music justice, of the course but then this is survey
course
[news:/s/00:12.1-00:17.3] from now until the end of the term ,
we are talking about and listening to 2 electronic music
[news:/s/00:17.3-00:24.2] you have probably already
probably know .it was in 1950 the music computers and synthesizers are
first appeared for a
a university
[news:/s/00:24.2-00:27.8] the first
commerical synthesizers
was sold about this time too
[news:/s/00:27.8-00:34.8] the sophistications
and complexity instruments has now increased to the point that we (they )can produce all the (almost any)kinds of song
[news:/s/00:34.8-00:41.1] some normalist (alarmists)believe
this new instruments will bring an end to
classical music or they already have
[news:/s/00:41.1-00:46.8] you know i didn't share this view .so (though )i agree we are missed (in the midlest) the evolution (revolution) in
instuments design
[news:/s/00:46.8-00:52.7] this is however not the first such evolution in
musical history .and probably not the last one either
[news:/s/00:52.7-00:57.1] we remember we have already
studied
the similar case in the early 19th century .
[news:/s/00:57.1-01:01.7] when the piano replaced the
when instrument
came into
[news:/s/01:01.7-01:09.0] one of the most improtant
reasons of the great popularity of electronic music
is ,their (of course )the relatively cheap price
[news:/s/01:09.0-01:17.2] well just look at it .only about 4oo dallors of
an electronic keyboard
compared to
nearly 3000 dallors for pianoo(piano)
[news:/s/01:17.2-01:28.7] naturaly this has done alot to increase is not the increase sale of electronic instrument .but i
dont think even the most
ardent supporters of electronic instrument
,except them completely to replace the
