The French composer Olovier Messiaen (olivier Messiaen1908-1993) deeplyinfluenced by Debussy is a musician, ornithologist, great educator, organ with most creativeideas in France.He was born to be a pious Christian with great love for nature, and he created the pianomusic "birdsong" integrated a large number of new music materials into his creation. He isgood at the subject related to religious, nature, and love.Messiaen thinks, music is a kind of language. The most important task is to make themelody "speak". Harmony and rhythm are derivatives of melody, and they must surrender toit."Prelude" is one of Messiaen’s early music pieces when he was learning in ParisConservatoire. Through these music pieces, Messiaen’s creating style gradually becamemature. It is a non-religious work. Messiaen’s music and color, the concept of visual andauditory, the creating type of limited displacement and nonretrogradable rhythms wereprimarily reflected in these music pieces.In his music, the use of perceptual thinking and rational thinking, atonity and tonality,and limited displacement of manual type and nonretrogradable rhythms... His flexibility,carrying forward the good tradition and daring to break through the traditional concept ofinnovation, virtually helps to unified music since the20th century, which has been thecontradiction of "human nature" and serialism contradictions, making the next generationcontinue to move forward from here.
