What is decorative sound? Music also needs to be decorated

The word "decorative sound" is a professional word, so non professionals or beginners of music may not understand what decorative sound means. Let's explain it for you.

Decorative note is a temporary note used to decorate melody, or a note with special marks indicating that the note should be used as a decorative performance, also known as flower note. Decorative tones are often used to enrich tunes and add features and effects to music.

Decorative sound refers to the decoration of sound, which is still used. In this way, the decorative sound always includes both the basic sound (i.e. the undecorated sound) and the sound used to decorate the basic sound.

For beauty. Any article, a dress, a vase, a table, a balcony, a room, etc., if properly decorated, will certainly increase their beauty. Decorative sound is the same. It will make the decorated sound more beautiful. We can try the following. When playing decorative sounds, remove the decorative sounds first and play only the original ones. The second time, add a decorative tone. Compared with the two, you will immediately feel how a relatively flat sound becomes more beautiful and charming due to the decoration of sound.

Different times, different nationalities and different composers have different ideas about the beauty of music, which are reflected in the decorative sound and different usages. Therefore, decorative sound is also related to music style.

The decorative sound in piano music is also a remedy for the weakness of piano pronunciation. As we all know, the piano can't make a 'slide', can't make a 'erasure' like string music, and can't 'rub strings', which will weaken after pronunciation. Weaker faster on the clavichord. Decorative sound can make up for this weakness to some extent. So there are many decorative notes in the clavichord.

In short, decorative sound is a technical means with great artistic expression.
