看簡譜學古典名曲 不會看豆芽(五線譜)，一樣可以彈奏古典名曲。 30首經典古典名曲，各種音樂風格Waltz、Soul、Slow Rock、Swing... 曲目介紹、彈奏解析及人物簡介 基礎樂理 本書是以首調簡譜為主，並以C大調來採譜。在彈奏之前，必需先學習一些基礎樂理，這些會讓你在彈奏視譜時更加順暢。 如何看簡譜 沒有任何音樂基礎的學習者，或是自學入門的學習者，看著五線譜彈奏應該會覺得有點吃力，但是簡譜相對來說簡單許多，因為簡譜是以「數字1～7」來表示，而高八度音會在數字上方加上圓點，低八度音則是在下方加上圓點來表示。 Waltz 01 D大調嬉遊曲K.334第三樂章─小步舞曲 Divertimento No.17 in D major K.334, III Menuetto 「嬉遊曲」是一種流行於十八世紀的輕組曲，與「小夜曲」的功能很類似，主要是在宮廷和上流社會社交的喜慶宴會場合中演奏，負責歡樂氣氛的創造及娛樂助興，屬於封建時代上流社會的音樂形式，也可說是階級的象徵。 莫札特，第17號嬉遊曲，K.334 〈D大調第17號嬉遊曲〉是由古典樂派作曲家莫札特（Mozart）於1779年所創作，此曲是為薩爾茲堡貴族羅比尼西而寫，因此有「羅比尼西的音樂」之別稱。莫札特一生寫了20多首嬉遊曲，這首在薩爾茲堡時期創作的最後一首嬉遊曲第17號最著名，全曲共有六個樂章，其中第三樂章小步舞曲最具代表性，因此被稱為「莫札特的小步舞曲」。莫札特結合在巴黎與曼漢等地旅行時學習到的新風格，並融入自己的特色後，發展出獨特的自我風格。 ●樂曲示範MP3免費下載！ ●學會6個基本伴奏型態就能彈奏古典名曲！ ●全書以C大調改編，初學者也能簡單上手！ ●樂譜採左右手簡譜型式，彈奏視譜輕鬆又快速！
