Abstract

This article considers the possibility that the emphasis we place on composers developing an artistic voice might be unhelpful for making good pieces. I look at what constitutes an artistic voice and consider pros and cons for having a voice. As an alternative I examine strengths and weaknesses for being a capricious composer, which I define as a willingness to explore different compositional avenues without concern for constructing a consistent body of work. My objective is not to discredit composers who have a strong voice, but rather to loosen the grip of the single-voiced model that dominates the value system of new music.

与你无关：我们还需要 "艺术之声 "吗？

本文认为，我们对作曲家发展艺术声音的强调可能无助于创作出好作品。我探讨了什么是艺术之声，并考虑了拥有艺术之声的利弊。作为另一种选择，我研究了任性作曲家的优缺点。我将任性作曲家定义为愿意探索不同的作曲途径，而不注重构建一个连贯的作品体系。我的目的不是要诋毁那些有强烈声音的作曲家，而是要放松主导新音乐价值体系的单一声音模式的控制。

期刊介绍： Tempo is the premier English-language journal devoted to twentieth-century and contemporary concert music. Literate and scholarly articles, often illustrated with music examples, explore many aspects of the work of composers throughout the world. Written in an accessible style, approaches range from the narrative to the strictly analytical. Tempo frequently ventures outside the acknowledged canon to reflect the diversity of the modern music scene. Issues feature interviews with leading composers, a tabulated news section, and lively and wide-ranging reviews of recent recordings, books and first performances around the world. Selected issues also contain specially-commissioned music supplements.
