Perfect Pitch
絕對音準
「絕對音準」（Perfect Pitch 或 Absolute Pitch），或被稱為「絕對音高」或「絕對音感」，是一種稀有而特殊的音樂能力，指的是一個人聽到一個音高後，可以立即辨識出這個音高的能力。這種能力不需要參照其他音符或參考音，就能夠準確地辨識出音高。
絕對音準通常在幼年時期培養，但也可以在後期通過音樂訓練和練習進一步發展。然而，絕對音準並不是每個音樂人都擁有的能力，它可能是遺傳因素和環境影響的結果。
有絕對音準的人可以輕鬆地識別音符和和弦，並且可以在大多數情況下準確地模仿聽到的音樂。這種能力對於音樂創作、演奏和理解音樂理論都有很大的幫助。
然而，絕對音準並不是音樂才能的唯一標誌，因為許多偉大的音樂家並不具備這種能力。相反，對音樂的理解和創造可能來自於對結構、情感和表達的深入洞察力，而不僅僅是聽力上的準確性。
絕對音準在音樂教育和表演中可以是一個重要的優勢，但它不是成功的音樂家唯一的關鍵。音樂的創作和表達涉及多個層面，包括技術、創造力、情感和文化理解。

G Song by Terry Riley
As an iconic American composer, Terry Riley (born 1935) is always considered as a minimalist. However, this kind of thoughts would be ignoring part of his creativity. In fact, Riley added plenty elements in his compositions since 1970s, especially when he started collaborating with the Kronos Quartet. Riley’s composing style is very extensive, including improvisation, polyrhythm and jazz. He adopted classical elements, such as instrumentation, musical forms, structure and tonality. He also combined the elements from different periods to create unique musical textures. This research focuses on Terry Riley’s String Quartet, G Song. The research will be divided into two parts. The first part introduces Riley’s life and the background of G Song. The second part focuses on music analysis, including the musical structure “Two forms in one work”; The harmony “Unresolved Dissonance”; The rhythm “Metric Modulation”; The baroque “Canon”; The modern “Pointillism”. The purpose of this study is to discuss how Riley combined classicism and modernism into a work, and discuss why the statement “Terry Riley is considered as minimalist” would be ignoring part of his story.
