As early as the12nd century, with the rise of artists and poets in bard, southern France, love songs and narrative songs developed, followed by songs by German poets (Minnesinger) and famous singers (Meistersiugen) in the14th century and15th century. Pastoral appeared in16th century and17th century, and the creation in this period had a far-reaching impact on the improvement of the Song Dynasty's creative level. The development of German art songs was initiated by Hasley and Abbett. After Mozart and Beethoven, it reached Schubert, and Schubert made the creation of songs extremely prosperous-he put more emotion and drama into the form of art songs than any composer. With the passage of time, two representative schools of German art songs and French art songs have gradually formed.
Although these artistic songs have different styles, they are all based on excellent poems, with exquisite music melody and perfect piano accompaniment, forming a unique boutique. /kloc-In the 20th century, composers from Britain, Spain, America, Russia, Hungary and other countries also created many artistic songs. Art songs generally have obvious genre characteristics, which are closely related to different language habits in different countries.
The development of art songs in China, taking the founding of New China as an example, can be roughly divided into two periods. After the May 4th New Culture Movement, art songs were introduced into China and developed rapidly. Influenced by Cai Yuanpei's aesthetic education thought, some musicians' music teachers, such as Xiao and Xiao, set up some new orchestras all over the country. These musical activities paved the way for the creation of artistic songs to a great extent. After Nie Er, Xi Xinghai created a large number of artistic songs with wider themes, more diverse genres and richer artistic means, which reflected the reality of China's national liberation and people's revolution from different aspects. Since the founding of New China, especially since the reform and opening-up, China's artistic songs have enjoyed unprecedented prosperity. Composers in the new period, such as Zheng Qiufeng, Shi Guangnan, Shang Deyi, Gu Jianfen, Shi Xin, Xu Peidong, Lu Zaiyi and Zhixin Wang, have created many popular artistic songs, such as I love you, China, The Grapes in Turpan are Ripe, Moody's, We are Mount Tai of the Yellow River, I like snowflakes from the sky and I love the land. There are many ethnic groups in China, and folk songs are an indispensable part of people's daily life. When composers put these original ecological folk songs in the form of oratorio or extremely simple accompaniment, plus colorful and elegant piano accompaniment, an artistic song with high taste and completely different from original ecological folk songs appeared. It is not only praised by Dacong, but also affirmed by experts, and occupies an important position in China's art songs. They spread abroad, making the world know and celebrate the life and feelings of China people, and played a very important role in cultural exchanges. Because of their national feelings and artistic compatibility, their works are especially welcomed and loved by Chinese and foreign audiences.

The combination of poetry and music is based on the meaning and cadence of the original poem, so the artistic songs presented in the songs are the composer's subjective views on poetry.
Piano accompaniment (solo) Piano accompaniment is as important as vocal melody. Piano accompaniment not only plays a role in setting off harmony and rhythm, but also often expresses the artistic conception and connotation of songs with specific sound patterns or more complex and exquisite textures. For example, the piano accompaniment of Schubert's songs has high artistic value.
Art songs with exquisite structure are generally short and pithy, and they are highly concentrated musical sketches. When listening or singing, we should pay great attention to the details, because every word and sound has a special arrangement.
