本文认为，首先，在研究社会背景对音乐活动的影响时，要注重整个时代文化背景的影响。其次，社会背景的影响是辨证的。一方面，它是音乐活动依附的历史传统和现实环境；另一方面，同样的背景，所产生的影响、结果是不同的。第三，社会背景不是影响音乐活动的唯一决定因素。当具备了特定的外部条件时，起决定作用的是人的主观因素。研究音乐发展史，必须将社会背景研究和作曲家个人因素的研究结合起来。 This paper argues that firstly, when studying the influence of social background on music activities, we should pay attention to the influence of the cultural background of the whole era. Second, the impact of social background is dialectical. On the one hand, it is the historical tradition and the real environment to which musical activities are attached. On the other hand, the same background has different impacts and different results. Third, the social context is not the only determinant of music activity. When there are specific external conditions, play a decisive role is the subjective factors. To study the history of music development, we must combine the research of social background with the research of personal factors of composers.
