 About Beethoven 關(guān)于貝多芬

     Ludwig van Beethoven was a German composer and pianist. Beethoven is acknowledged as one of the giants of classical music; occasionally he is referred to as one of the "three Bs" (along with Bach and Brahms) who epitomize that tradition. He was also a pivotal figure in the transition from the 18th century musical classicism to the 19th century romanticism, and his influence on subsequent generations of composers was profound.
     Born in Bonn, then the capital of the Electorate of Cologne and part of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation in present-day Germany, Beethoven moved to Vienna in his early 20s, studying with Joseph Haydn and quickly gaining a reputation as a virtuoso pianist. His hearing began to deteriorate in the late 1790s, yet he continued to compose, conduct, and perform, even after becoming completely deaf.
     Beethoven composed in several musical genres, and for a variety of instrument combinations. His works for symphony orchestra include nine symphonies (the Ninth Symphony includes a chorus), and about a dozen pieces of "occasional" music. He wrote seven concerti for one or more soloists and orchestra, as well as four shorter works that include soloists accompanied by orchestra. His only opera is Fidelio; other vocal works with orchestral accompaniment include two masses and a number of shorter works.
     His large body of compositions for piano includes 32 piano sonatas and numerous shorter pieces, including arrangements of some of his other works. Works with piano accompaniment include 10 violin sonatas, 5 cello sonatas, and a sonata for French horn, as well as numerous lieder. Beethoven also wrote a significant quantity of chamber music. In addition to 16 string quartets, he wrote five works for string quintet, seven for piano trio, five for string trio, and more than a dozen works for various combinations of wind instruments.
     作為"樂圣",作為"維也納三杰"之一,貝多芬集古典音樂的大成,同時開辟了浪漫時期音樂的道路,對世界音樂的發(fā)展有著舉足輕重的作用。該怎么形容他的音樂呢?
     用蕭伯納的話來說:"他有能力設(shè)計(jì)最好的樂式;他能寫出使你終身享受不盡的美麗的樂曲;他能挑出那些最干燥無味的旋律,把它們展開得那樣引人,使你聽上一百次也每回都能發(fā)現(xiàn)新東西:一句話,你可以拿所有用來形容以樂式見長的作曲家的話來形容他;但是他的病征,也就是不同于別人之處在于他那激動人心的本質(zhì),他能使我們激動,并把他那奔放的感情籠罩著我們。當(dāng)貝里奧滋聽到一位法國作曲家因?yàn)樨惗喾业囊魳肥顾犃撕懿皇娣f'我聽了能使我入睡的音樂'時,他非常生氣。貝多芬的音樂是使你清醒的音樂,而當(dāng)你想獨(dú)自一個靜一會兒的時候,你就怕聽他的音樂。"
