Franz Liszt and the Temple of Art
Is it possible or desirable at all to establish a museum for music? The question was first posed by Franz Liszt in the 19
century. This essay will not only present the background and context of the question, but also the contradictory conclusions that emerge from the idea of the musealisation of music, and which still linger in 20
-and 21
-century music culture.

Analyzing audience mental health through the communication and structure of complex networked online music culture
This study explores the complexities of online music cultural communication by incorporating the structure of complex networks, aiming to offer more personalized experiences for music creators, platforms, and users engaged in dissemination activities. A novel ABM-NE model is developed by combining Agent-Based Modeling (ABM) with Nonlinear Equations (NE). On the one hand, this model uses ABM to conduct a dynamic simulation of the propagation behaviors of multiple target sources. On the other hand, a nonlinear analysis of the evolution of node states is conducted using NE, which can achieve multi-level modeling and analysis of music culture communication in a complex network environment. Compared with traditional models, the innovation of ABM-NE lies in its ability to dynamically adjust weights and provide real-time feedback on node states. This mechanism effectively compensates for the deficiencies of traditional models in propagation stability and user diversity performance. Key findings include: (1) The relative density index fluctuates between 0.31 and 0.43, while node densities in the Barabási-Albert (BA) and Holme-Kim models range from 0.16 to 0.32. Compared to these traditional models, the proposed model exhibits smaller and more stable fluctuations in node density, even as internal dynamic parameters are adjusted, leading to more balanced dissemination dynamics. (2) Analysis of social influence reveals significant enhancement from user feedback to platforms within the model, reaching a peak of 0.91 at the fifth time step, indicating the broader dissemination effects of the ABM-NE model. (3) Dissemination efficiency analysis shows notable differences in efficiency under varying conditions for the ABM-NE model. High levels of social influence, matching degree, and integration foster faster and wider information dissemination, with weighted dissemination efficiencies of 0.77, 0.77, and 0.8, respectively. This highlights the model’s capacity to optimize dissemination strategies. Experimental data show that this model has achieved precise prediction of the dissemination effect on music platforms and can improve the matching degree between content and the audience. Meanwhile, it is helpful for the digital inheritance of traditional music culture and the improvement of the mental health of the audience. Overall, this study aims to unveil the intricate mechanisms of multi-source propagation, node dynamic evolution, and social influence in online music cultural communication. By enhancing the stability of dynamic propagation in complex network environments, the model ensures its adaptability to achieve high dissemination efficiency under diverse conditions. The insights derived from this study are valuable for platforms within the online dissemination system, helping to refine cultural dissemination strategies and strengthen the digital operational capabilities of the music industry.

Quantitative Integration of Traditional Music and Cultural Elements in Modern Informational Bel canto Teaching
The integration of traditional music and cultural elements in Bel canto teaching can promote the inheritance, innovation and development of national music culture, and help to enhance the soft power of traditional culture. In this paper, the method of traditional music culture integration in modern Bel canto teaching is studied, and the vocal frequency in Bel canto singing is visualized and analyzed by using the quantitative tool of spectrum measuring instrument. The students’ test scores were used to test and analyze the effects of integrating traditional music and culture elements on the teaching effect of Bel canto, and the results showed that Bel canto teaching with traditional music and culture elements had a significant effect on the improvement of the students’ music scores. Then, using a quantitative tool called a spectrometer and real-time monitoring, we obtained vocalization spectrograms of students of different genders. Finally, we analyzed the different styles of singing and the different Bel Canto teaching methods. The results show that under different genders, the resonance peak of male voice appears near 2500 Hz, and the resonance peak of female voice appears near 3000 Hz, and the Bel canto teaching which integrates the elements of traditional music and culture can be very good to help the students to improve their music vocalization.

Retromania : pop culture's addiction to its own past
We live in a pop age gone loco for retro and crazy for commemoration. Band re-formations and reunion tours, expanded reissues of classic albums and outtake-crammed box sets, remakes and sequels, tribute albums and mash-ups ... But what happens when we run out of past? Are we heading toward a sort of cultural-ecological catastrophe, where the archival stream of pop history has been exhausted? Retromania is the first book to examine the retro industry and ask the question: Is this retromania a death knell for any originality and distinctiveness of our own?

Bridge and Tunnel Boys
Born four months apart, Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel both released their debut albums in the early 1970s, quickly becoming two of the most successful rock stars of their generation. While their critical receptions have been very different, surprising parallels emerge when we look at the arcs of their careers and the musical influences that have inspired them.Bridge and Tunnel Boys compares the life and work of Long Islander Joel and Asbury Park, New Jersey, native Springsteen, considering how each man forged a distinctive sound that derived from his unique position on the periphery of the Big Apple. Locating their music within a longer tradition of the New York metropolitan sound, dating back to the early 1900s, cultural historian Jim Cullen explores how each man drew from the city's diverse racial and ethnic influences. His study explains how, despite frequently releasing songs that questioned the American dream, Springsteen and Joel were able to appeal to wide audiences during both the national uncertainty of the 1970s and the triumphalism of the Reagan era. By placing these two New York-area icons in a new context, Bridge and Tunnel Boys allows us to hear their most beloved songs with new appreciation.

Hot stuff : disco and the remaking of American culture
\"American studies scholar and former deejay Alice Echols captures the experience of the Disco Years--on dance floors, at the movies, in the streets, and beneath the sheets. Disco may have presented itself as shallow and disposable--the platforms, polyester, and plastic vibe of it all--but the disco scene carved out a haven for gay men who reclaimed their sexuality on dance floors where they had once been surveilled and harassed; it thrust black women onto center stage as some of the genre's most prominent stars; and it paved the way for the opening of Studio 54 and the viral popularity of the shoestring-budget Saturday Night Fever, a movie that challenged traditional notions of masculinity, even for heterosexuals. But while exploring the cultural milieu, Echols never loses sight of the era's defining soundtrack, which propelled popular music into new sonic territory, influencing everything from rap and rock to techno and trance\"--From publisher description.

A Music Teaching Model Combining Deep Learning in the Perspective of Ecological Aesthetic Education: The Integration of Traditional Music Culture
In the contemporary educational environment, the protection and inheritance of traditional music culture faces challenges. The current diverse needs of music education urgently require innovative teaching models to integrate traditional music culture and enhance students’ aesthetic and cultural literacy. The eco-beauty perspective provides a new educational idea that emphasizes the harmonious coexistence with nature and promotes all-around development of students. Combining traditional music culture and modern education technology effectively can be achieved by combining deep learning technology and new paths in music education. This study explores the music teaching model that integrates traditional music culture with deep learning technology, under the perspective of ecological aesthetic education. The study utilizes a mixed methodology, combines quantitative and qualitative Analysis, and compares the experimental design to verify the effectiveness of the teaching model. In this paper, implementing the music teaching model under the perspective of ecological aesthetic education has improved students’ performance in music perception ability, music emotion expression, music composition and performance, and music knowledge theory. The average increase in music perception ability of the experimental class students is 5.18 points, and the average increase in music composition and performance ability is 11.57 points, showing the impact of this teaching mode on the overall improvement of students’ music ability. In this paper, the music teaching mode combining deep learning under the perspective of ecological aesthetic education can effectively integrate traditional music culture, promote the improvement of students’ music literacy, and provide a new teaching strategy for the inheritance and development of traditional music culture.
