例题讲解
book 1, reading 6, p150
in recent years the early music movement(关键词), which advocates performing a work as it was performed at the time of its composition, has taken on the character of a crusade, particularly as it has moved beyond the sphere of medieval and baroque music and into music from the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries by composers such as mozart and beethoven granted(表示让步结构), knowledge about the experience of playing old music on now-obsolete1 instruments has been of inestimable(⊕) value to scholars. nevertheless(△), the early music approach to performance raises profound and troubling questions. (大负小正)
early music advocates assume that composers write only for the instruments available to them, but evidence suggests that composers of beethoven’s stature2 imagined extraordinarily3 high and low notes as part of their compositions, even when they recognized that such notes could not be played on instruments available at the time. (in the score of beethoven’s first piano concerto4, there is a “wrong” note, a high f-natural where the melody obviously calls for a high f-sharp, but pianos did not have this high an f-sharp when beethoven composed the concerto. because beethoven once expressed a desire to revise his early works to exploit the extended range of pianos that became available to him some years later, it seems likely that he would have played the f-sharp if given the opportunity.)(例子,长度超过5行就要读) to use a piano exactly contemporary with the work’s composition would require playing a note that was probably frustrating6(负) for beethoven himself to have had to play.(评论)
in addition(表示与上段并列), early music advocates often inadvertently divorce music and its performance from the life of which they were, and are, a part. (the discovery that haydn’s and mozart’s symphonies were conducted during their lifetimes by a pianist who played the chords to keep the orchestra together has given rise to early music recordings7 in which a piano can be heard obtrusively8 in the foreground, despite evidence indicating that the orchestral piano was virtually inaudible to audiences at eighteenth-century concerts and was dropped as musically unnecessary when a better way to beat time was found.)(例子) (and although in the early nineteenth century the first three movements (sections) of mozart’s and beethoven’s symphonies were often played faster, and the last movement slower than today, this difference can readily be explained by the fact that at that time audiences applauded at the end of each movement, rather than withholding9 applause until the end of the entire work.. as a result(→), musicians were not forced into extra brilliance10 in the finale in order to generate applause, as they are now.)(例子) to restore the original tempo5 of these symphonies represents an irrational11 denial of the fact that our concepts of musical intensity12 and excitement have quite simply, changed. (评价)

属于主题题,遵循三出现原则
the early music movement has yet to resolve a number of troubling questions regarding its approach to the performance of music.
