一、弦乐器
& f' S% v4 _; Q7 z# w弦乐器是乐器家族内的一个重要分支,在古典音乐乃至现代轻音乐中,几乎所有的抒情旋律都由弦乐声部来演奏。可见,柔美、动听是所有弦乐器的共同特征。弦乐器的音色统一,有多层次的表现力:合奏时澎湃激昂,独奏时温柔婉约;又因为丰富多变的弓法(颤、碎、拨、跳,等)而具有灵动的色彩。弦乐器的发音方式是依靠机械力量使张紧的弦线振动发音,故发音音量受到一定限制。弦乐器通常用不同的弦演奏不同的音,有时则须运用手指按弦来改变弦长,从而达到改变音高的目的。弦乐器从其发音方式上来说,主要分为弓拉弦鸣乐器(如提琴类)和弹拨弦鸣乐器(如吉它)。

二、木管乐器
9 f% q8 _/ B$ O木管乐器起源很早,从民间的牧笛、芦笛等演变而来。木管乐器是乐器家族中音色最为丰富的一族,常用被来表现大自然和乡村生活的情景。在交响乐队中,不论是作为伴奏还是用于独奏,都有其特殊的韵味,是交响乐队的重要组成部分。木管乐器大多通过空气振动来产生乐音,根据发声方式,大致可分为唇鸣类(如长笛等)和簧鸣类(如单簧管等)。木管乐器的材料并不限于木质,同样有选用金属、象牙或是动物骨头等材质的。它们的音色各异、特色鲜明。从优美亮丽到深沉阴郁,应有尽有。正因如此,在乐队中,木管乐器常善于塑造各种惟妙惟肖的音乐形象,大大丰富了管弦乐的效果。. j- e% t) r ` B9 {
