摘要

The cello, as an important instrument in the Western classical music system, offers the performer a broad space for emotional interpretation with its rich and deep timbre characteristics. With the evolution of music education concepts, contemporary cello performance has broken through the shackles of simple technical competition and turned to the in-depth exploration of the essence of music. The expressiveness bottleneck that is widespread in the current professional field not only stems from the excessive emphasis on technical elements in the traditional training system, but also reflects the lack of performers' ability to deconstruct musical texts. In the context of the diversified aesthetic demands of audiences in the digital age, how to break through the barriers of technological appearances and achieve a deep interaction between musical language and emotional resonance has become an urgent artistic issue to be addressed. This article starts from performance practice and combines the theories of music aesthetics and cognitive psychology to construct multi-dimensional paths for enhancing musical expressiveness.
