1. Baroque Period (1600-1750) | 巴洛克时期 (1600-1750)
The Baroque period is defined by the use of basso continuo, a continuous bass line played by cello and harpsichord, providing a harmonic foundation for improvisation. Ornamentation, including trills, mordents, and appoggiaturas, was essential to expressive melody. Terraced dynamics, sudden contrasts between forte and piano, replaced gradual changes. Polyphonic textures dominated, with intricate counterpoint exemplified in the fugue.
巴洛克时期以通奏低音为标志，由大提琴和羽管键琴演奏持续低音线条，为即兴和声提供基础。装饰音——颤音、波音和倚音——是旋律表现的关键。阶梯式力度在强与弱之间突然转换，取代了渐强渐弱。复调织体占主导地位，赋格中复杂的对位法是典型例子。
Major genres include the concerto grosso (contrast between a small group of soloists, the concertino, and the full orchestra, the ripieno), solo concerto, suite, and oratorio. Binary form and ritornello form were fundamental structures. Key composers: J.S. Bach (Brandenburg Concertos, The Well-Tempered Clavier), G.F. Handel (Messiah, Water Music), and A. Vivaldi (The Four Seasons).
主要体裁包括大协奏曲（独奏小组 concertino 与全奏乐队 ripieno 的对比）、独奏协奏曲、组曲和清唱剧。二段式与回归曲式是基本结构。核心作曲家：J.S. 巴赫（《勃兰登堡协奏曲》《平均律键盘曲集》）、G.F. 亨德尔（《弥赛亚》《水上音乐》）和 A. 维瓦尔第（《四季》）。
| Genre | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Fugue | Imitative polyphonic work with subject, answer, countersubject | Bach, Fugue in C minor BWV 847 |
| Concerto Grosso | Multi-movement work contrasting concertino and ripieno | Bach, Brandenburg Concerto No. 2 |
| Suite | Collection of stylised dance movements (allemande, courante, sarabande, gigue) | Handel, Water Music Suite |
表格总结了三种典型巴洛克体裁及其特征：赋格为模仿复调作品，包含主题、答题和对题；大协奏曲通过独奏组与乐队的对话构成多乐章；组曲由阿勒芒德、库朗特、萨拉班德和吉格等风格化舞曲组成。
2. Classical Period (1750-1820) | 古典时期 (1750-1820)
The Classical style sought clarity, balance, and proportion. Homophonic textures with melody over chordal accompaniment became standard, often using Alberti bass patterns. Phrases were periodic and symmetrical, with antecedent and consequent phrasing forming a question-answer structure. Dynamics now included gradual crescendos and diminuendos, enhancing expressive nuance.
古典风格追求清晰、平衡和匀称。旋律外加和弦伴奏的主调织体成为标准，常使用阿尔贝蒂低音。乐句具有周期性和对称性，先行句与后续句形成问答结构。力度此时引入了渐强和渐弱，增强了表现层次。
Sonata form became the most important structural principle, consisting of exposition (two contrasting themes in tonic and dominant/relative major), development (modulation and motivic fragmentation), and recapitulation (both themes in the tonic), often with a coda. Other forms include minuet and trio, rondo (ABACA), and theme and variations. Key genres: symphony, string quartet, and solo concerto. Leading composers: Haydn, Mozart, and early Beethoven.
奏鸣曲式成为最重要的结构原则，包括呈示部（主调与属调或关系大调的两个对比主题）、展开部（转调和动机分解）和再现部（两个主题均回归主调），通常带有尾声。其他曲式有小步舞曲与三声中部、回旋曲和主题与变奏。核心体裁：交响曲、弦乐四重奏和独奏协奏曲。重要作曲家：海顿、莫扎特和早期贝多芬。
Sonata form: Exposition (1st subject tonic, 2nd subject dominant or relative major), Development, Recapitulation (both in tonic), Coda. 中文：奏鸣曲式：呈示部（第一主题主调，第二主题属调或关系大调）、展开部、再现部（均回主调）、尾声。
Rondo: ABACA or ABACABA, with a recurring A theme. 中文：回旋曲：ABACA 或 ABACABA，主题 A 反复出现。
Minuet and Trio: Ternary form with contrasting middle section for reduced forces. 中文：小步舞曲与三声中部：三段式，中部为对比段落，织体较薄。
3. Romantic Period (1820-1900) | 浪漫时期 (1820-1900)
Romanticism prioritised individual emotion, imagination, and dramatic expression. Melodies became longer, more lyrical, and increasingly chromatic. Harmony expanded with chromatic chords, diminished sevenths, and distant modulations, often blurring tonal boundaries. The orchestra grew enormously, adding piccolo, trombones, tuba, harp, and percussion. Programme music and nationalism emerged, drawing on literary and folk sources.
浪漫主义优先强调个人情感、想象和戏剧表现。旋律变得更长、更抒情且愈发半音化。和声通过变音和弦、减七和弦和远关系转调得以扩展，常常模糊调性界限。管弦乐队规模急剧扩大，加入了短笛、长号、大号、竖琴和打击乐。标题音乐和民族主义兴起，从文学和民间素材中汲取灵感。
Key composers and innovations: Franz Schubert elevated the Lied (art song) with piano-vocal equality. Frederic Chopin wrote expressive miniatures and virtuosic etudes for piano. Richard Wagner transformed opera with leitmotifs and continuous music drama. Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky fused Russian folk melody with Western forms. Other important figures: Liszt, Brahms, Verdi. Rubato (flexible tempo) became a hallmark of expressive performance.
重要作曲家与创新：舒伯特提升了艺术歌曲，使钢琴与人声地位平等。肖邦创作了富于表现力的钢琴小品和技巧练习曲。瓦格纳以主导动机和连续乐剧革新了歌剧。柴可夫斯基将俄罗斯民间旋律与西方曲式融合。其他关键人物：李斯特、勃拉姆斯、威尔第。弹性速度成为表现性演奏的标志。
4. 20th and 21st Century Art Music | 20/21 世纪艺术音乐
The 20th century witnessed a radical break from tonality. Impressionism (Debussy, Ravel) used whole-tone scales, parallel chords, and static harmony to create atmosphere. Expressionism (Schoenberg, Berg) embraced atonality and developed twelve-tone serialism, where all 12 notes of the chromatic scale are organised into a tone row. Schoenberg's concept of Sprechstimme (speech-song) added vocal tension.
20 世纪见证了调性的根本断裂。印象主义（德彪西、拉威尔）使用全音阶、平行和弦与静态和声营造氛围。表现主义（勋伯格、贝尔格）拥抱无调性并发展出十二音序列主义，将半音阶的 12 个音组织成音列。勋伯格的诵唱
