论西方钢琴教学史上的两大失误

On Two Major Errors in the History of Piano Instruction in the West

从古钢琴时代开始,西方的键盘乐器演奏家们就一直在寻求着最佳的演奏技术和教学方法,在实践过程中他们不断总结演奏经验,并逐渐形成了与当时的乐器和音乐相适应的理论原则。但在对钢琴演奏技术理论的总结与发展过程中,西方钢琴教学的两个著名学派曾经出现过矫枉过正的偏差和失误,并造成了相当大的影响。通过分析钢琴教学史上的这两大失误,意在重现历史上人们对于钢琴演奏法的认知过程,从而避免那些事与愿违的努力。

Since the time of the clavichord, Western keyboard instrument players have never stopped seeking the best performance techniques and teaching methods. They have incessantly summarized their performance experience and formulated theories in accordance with contemporary instruments and music. However, in the process of summarizing and developing theories of piano performance techniques, two celebrated schools in Western piano instruction made the mistake of overdoing it which brought on serious consequences. By analyzing their mistake, the present paper attempts to reenact the cognitive process of the piano performance techniques so as to avoid counter-productive efforts.
