《图片音乐史》和它展示的4500年前的金银里拉琴及其他

A Pictorial Music History and the Golden and Silver Lira from 4500 Years Ago

本文概要介绍原民主德国莱比锡音乐出版社出版的《图片音乐史》,该丛书展示的金、银里拉琴等乐器。英国考古学家伍莱于1922-1934年间主持发掘的一批4500多年前的包括金、银里拉琴的美索不达米亚乐器真品,也收录其中。由此引发一点思考:我们的民族音乐学研究所涉及的领域和视野必须有所拓展;要对某种文化现象的形成和发展作出结论,一定要慎之又慎;美索不达米亚的音乐是否为影响希腊和阿拉伯音乐的源头?

This book exhibits a number of 4500years old Mesopotamia golden and silver liras unear thed by the British archeologist Charles Woolley between 1922 and 1934.
