Abstract

Aiming at the original theory of the “timbre” problem, through sorting out the ins and outs of the concept of timbre, this article studies the relationship between timbre and music origin and the evolution process of the auditory system’s perception of tone color, and gives new cognitive concepts of timbre in a narrow sense and a broad sense. It also analyzes the difference between timbre and sound, the relationship and difference between timbre and the other three elements of sound, as well as the relationship and difference between timbre in music and a series of musical elements derived from the other three elements of sound. The purpose is to achieve an overall grasp of the basic principles of cognitive timbre, further explore the value of the concept of timbre in music and its realization approaches, and provide theoretical support for the promotion of music teaching. At the same time, this article constructively enumerates some applications of the concept of timbre in piano performance, removes some obstacles in the process of timbre expression of music knowledge (music theory, harmony, musical form, etc.) and realizes the effective coupling of basic principles and practical perspectives.
