简介：The best-selling college rhetoric for over 20 years, The St. Martin's Guidehas an unparalleled record of proven success. From the beginning, Axelrod and Cooper have taken the best of classic and contemporary theory, filtered it through their own and their colleagues' classroom experience, and then blended the result into a flexible classroom tool. Their step-by-step guides to writing specific kinds of essays were a groundbreaking concept and changed the way writing is taught in American colleges.

By seamlessly incorporating practical, class-tested solutions to these new challenges, Axelrod and Cooper have once again provided the best foundation for college writing.

Li Lanqing’s Essays on Music,The Classical Music of Europe

作者：  

出版社：高等教育出版社,2004

简介：　　欧洲经典音乐也常被人们称为欧洲古典音乐。我之所以称之为经典音乐，不仅是为了避免与18世纪中叶至19世纪初的古典主义音乐相混淆、更得要的是想强调它的久盛不衰，百听不厌，能给人以美的享受，有助于提高人们的文化修养和精神文明的境界。同时，欧洲经典音乐的基本理论和作曲技巧，也是其他音乐包括现代民族音乐发展和提高所需要借鉴的。我国的民族音乐有悠久的历史和独特的魅力，但它的发展和提高，也需要吸收和借鉴欧洲经典音乐的精髓，这样才能在世界乐坛上产生更大的影响。这是我们常常强调的：建设社会主义文化先进文化，既要继承和发展我国民族文化的优良传统，又要吸收其他民族一切先进文明成果。我国当代音乐文化的发展和繁荣，正是我国音乐工作者遵循这个原则辛勤努力的结果。
