对于西方音乐史的教学和学科建设问题,自上个世纪八九十年代以来,我们进行过很多有益的、富有成效的讨论。通过讨论,使得西方音乐学科在摆脱外来因素的制约与自身思想的束缚中,有了学科的自觉意识与独立性,并且取得了可喜的发展。进入新世纪以来,我们又面临了新的课题和挑战,这些课题和挑战有的来自社会的大环境及其影响,也有的是我们自身发展过程中出现的问 For the teaching and discipline construction of Western music history, we have conducted many useful and fruitful discussions since the 1980s and 1990s. Through the discussion, the western music discipline has made the subjective consciousness and independence of the discipline, and has made gratifying progress in getting rid of the constraint of external factors and the shackles of its own thinking. Since entering the new century, we have also faced new topics and challenges. Some of these topics and challenges have come from the social environment and its impact. Some have also come from our own development.
