For instance, Wilfred Mellers comments, “rags were transferred to the pianola roll and, even if not played by a machine, should be played like a machine, with meticulous precision.” However, there is no reason to assume that ragtime is inherently mechanical simply because commercial manufacturers applied a mechanical recording method to ragtime, the only way to record pianos at that date. Ragtime’s is not a mechanical precision, and it is not precision limited to the style of performance. It arises from ragtime’s following a well-defined form and obeying simple rules within that form.
20. The author rejects the argument that ragtime is a mechanical music because that argument (A) overlooks the precision required of the ragtime player (B) does not accurately describe the sound of ragtime pianola music (C) confuses the means of recording and the essential character of the music (D) exaggerates the influence of the performance style of professional ragtime players on the reputation of the genre (E) improperly identifies commercial ragtime music with the subtler classic ragtime style
我以为答案的确应该是C。 作者分析机械的指责时，首先说明了这是一个由于当时商业recording方式导致的一个误区，然后指出precision是的确其一个特点，以排除可能的误解，称Ragtime’s is not a mechanical precision，然后进一步阐述其precision 在于哪里。作者讲误区就是为了讲其precision的特点的。并引出了下文详细地讲formal structure.作者: 上山帅 时间: 2012-5-29 09:50
我觉得应该也是选C，答案不是吗
