Richard Curt Kraus is Professor of Political Science at the University of Oregon. He is the author of Class Conflict in Chinese Socialism (Columbia 1981) and Pianos and Politics in China (Oxford 1989).
In China, a nation where the worlds of politics and art are closely linked, Western classical music was considered during the cultural revolution to be an imperialist intrusion, in direct conflict with the native aesthetic. In this revealing chronicle of the relationship between music and politics in twentieth-century China, Richard Kraus examines the evolution of China's ever-changing disposition towards European music and demonstrates the steady westernization of Chinese music. Placing China's cultural conflicts in global perspective, he traces the lives of four Chinese musicians and reflects on how their experiences are indicative of China's place at the furthest edge of an expanding Western international order.

除瞭字小點兒看的眼睛疼以外都不錯。介紹瞭中國主流作麯傢和鋼琴傢,還硬套瞭政治進去
評分基本類屬於“不忍卒讀”
評分和其它樂器(無論中西)相比,鋼琴的確有一種令國人為之陶醉沉迷乃至瘋狂的東西,可稱為某種意義上的“器樂之王”。各種樂器的練習都可以陶冶情操,一股腦往鋼琴上湊隻能說明這玩意可能更容易改變個人乃至傢庭的社會地位。隻是將其單純作晉身之階的後果大傢也看到瞭,人海戰術很難堆齣真正的大師,而作為個體付齣的代價卻往往非常沉重
評分1989年的書,有點老。有些資料有問題,涉及古典音樂的自律性vs社會性和中國社會階層分析的框架似乎也太簡單,中國和西方古典音樂演齣本身的很多比較也有點膚淺,但作者對現象的觀察還算敏銳。在“西樂在當代中國”主題仍能算essential reading吧。
