Musical Expression

5 Summary
 Musical expression is the art of playing of singing with a personal response to
the music. Furthermore, it can also be clarified as the art of playing or singing music
with emotional communication. As we can see sometimes in a live band performance,
some musicians tend to do some actions like head-banging, moving their body by
following the melody and we can noticed their satisfaction in playing the music through
their face. All these reactions will happen only if musicians put in their soul and feelings
into the music that they are playing. At a practical level, this means making appropriate
use of dynamics, phrasing, timbre and articulation to bring the music to life.

The nature of musical expression has also been discussed at a theoretical

level throughout the history of classical music. One common view is that music both
expresses and evokes emotion, forming a conduit for emotional communication
between the musician and audience. This view has been present through most of
musical history, though it was most clearly expressed in musical romantism. However,
emotions role in music has been challenged on occasion by those like Igor Stravinsky,
who see music as a pure art form and expression as an irrelevant distraction.
