The development of the symphony from its beginning to the present

China's symphony** began in the twenties of the twentieth century and has a history of more than half a century. It starts with a comprehensive introduction of foreign works, and later uses Western techniques to excavate and sort out the Chinese nation, and creates symphonic and orchestral works with Chinese national characteristics; From an orchestra composed entirely of foreign nationals to an orchestra composed of all performers and conductors trained by our country today, it can be said that it has experienced a development process from scratch and from small to large. The symphonic music mentioned here refers to orchestral works of different genres such as symphonies, symphonic poems, suites, and overtures performed by Western orchestras.

The Symphony (1725-1760) evolved from the Italian opera overture of the late 17th century. The predecessor of the symphony is the Italian opera overture of the Baroque period, and in the first half of the 18th century, composers used the fast-slow-fast structure of the Italian opera overture to compose orchestral works, and called it a symphony. Since then, the symphony has gradually replaced the Baroque orchestral concerto and become the main instrumental form in the conference.

The three-part form of the overture, "Allegro-Adagio-Allegro", lays the foundation for the symphony's suite form. In the mid-to-late 18th century, the overture symphony broke away from opera and absorbed elements of the Grand Concerto, Suite and Trio Sonata, and developed into an independent three-movement instrumental genre. However, at this time, the form had not yet been finalized, the orchestra had not yet been formed, and the symphony was still a work for instrumental ensembles and small orchestras.

At this time, many composers contributed to the creation of the symphonic genre. Italy's Samatini began to write symphonies using early sonata-style, motive melodies, and in 1760 began to abandon the continuo bass and fill in the harmony with brass. J Stašutz of the Mannheim School created a well-trained two-band orchestra that pioneered a style of playing with "crescendo" and "crescendo" dynamics, and made the wind instruments function as independent parts.

Moen of the Viennese School first inserted a minuet movement after the Adagio movement of his D Oma Symphony (1740), creating the form of a four-movement symphony during the dry period. In his composition, he and Wagencel paid attention to the use of color in the orchestra, expanded the role of wind instruments, and made the violin the main body of the orchestra, and together with Stamitz, they made a certain contribution to the development of the symphony.

Classical period. At the beginning of the 18th century, overtures and interludes began to break away from opera and began to be played separately at ** meetings. The Neapolitan composer Alexandre Scarlatti established the three-part form of "Allegro, Adagio and Allegro (dance style)" for the overture in his work, which established the most basic format for the movement format of later symphonies.

In the second half of the 18th century, the German Mannheim School created the technique of the main key in the creation of the overture, improved the expressive ability of the instrument and the drama, and added the finale of the allegro on the basis of the three-part overture, which formed the prototype of the four-movement instrumental suite. Three later masters developed the classical symphony to its most mature stage: Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. These three masters developed the Viennese Classical School to its peak, and also made the symphony enter its own period.

Beethoven developed the connotation and ideology of the symphony to a new level, and the concept of symphony in the modern sense was formed during this period.

Romantic period.

Symphonies from the 19th century onwards, regardless of their content, form and technique, have undergone major reforms and innovations, forming a situation in which a group of people compete for research and flourish. The symphonies of this period have a certain development, and their characteristics are mainly manifested in the following: the content is literary and titled, and the structure of the song is more free.

The **** of the symphony is in Italy, because Italy is the star of the symphony, Beethoven is a small town in Italy, so he has a special charm there, so that everyone who understands the charm of the symphony, so he has been well developed there, and slowly developed into orchestral music, as well as symphonies and other musical instruments, alas, **bachelor.

Summary. The development status of Chinese symphony is very developed, and great progress has been made from creation to performance.
