一、钢琴奏鸣曲,作品第27号之2《月光》 创作背景
贝多芬的这首曲子作于1801年,当时他正和朱丽法塔·贵恰尔第(1784—1856)相爱,这首曲子是献给她的。这一年的11月16日,贝多芬写给和勒的信中提到她时还说:“她爱我,我也爱她。”但到1802年初,她已另外爱上了罗伯尔·哈伦堡伯爵,并于1803年和他结了婚。罗曼·罗兰把此曲和贝多芬的失恋联系起来,说“幻想维持得不久,奏鸣曲里的痛苦和悲愤已经多于爱情了。”
罗曼·罗兰把第一乐章解释为忧郁、哀诉和痛苦。俄国音乐学家奥立比舍夫(1794—1858)认为第一乐章是失恋的“沉痛的悲哀”,好比“垂之火”。但1801年正是贝多芬和贵恰尔第热恋的时候,说这个作品是写失恋的痛苦,也和事实不符。对于这个作品的解释,也许俄国艺术批评家斯塔索夫(1824—1906)的见解是比较合理的。他在回忆了听李斯特在彼得堡的演奏后,认为这首奏鸣曲是一出完整的悲剧 ,第一乐章是冥想的、柔情的和有时充满阴暗预感的精神状态。他在听安东·鲁宾什坦的演奏时也有类似的印象:“……从远处、远处,好像从望不见的灵魂深处忽然升起静穆的声音。有一些声音是忧郁的,充满了无限的愁思,另一些是沉思的,纷至沓来的回忆,阴暗的预兆……”
该曲之所以被称为《月光》,是由于德国诗人路德维希把该曲比作瑞士琉森湖上的月光。《#c小调奏鸣曲》因《月光》的标题和传说而特别出名。
贝多芬有一次说过:“人们常常谈论《#c小调奏鸣曲》,但我曾写过比这更好的东西,《#F大调奏鸣曲》(作品78)就是一个与此相同的作品。”可见贝多芬自己对《月光曲》并不十分满意。
二、《月光曲》的传说
贝多芬这首著名的《月光曲》,传说是这样谱成的:有一年秋天,贝多芬去各地旅行演出,来到莱茵河边的一个小镇上。一天夜晚,他在幽静的小路上散步,听到断断续续的钢琴声从一所茅屋里传出来,弹的正是他的曲子。
贝多芬走近茅屋,琴声忽然停了,屋子里有人在谈话。一个姑娘说:“这首曲子多难弹啊!我只听别人弹过几遍,总是记不住该怎样弹;要是能听一听贝多芬自己弹的,那有多好啊!”一个男的说:“是啊,可是音乐会的入场券太贵了,咱们又太穷。”姑娘说:“哥哥,你别难过,我不过随便说说罢了。”
贝多芬听到这里,就推开门,轻轻地走了进去。茅屋里点着一支蜡烛。在微弱的烛光下,男的正在做皮鞋。窗前有架旧钢琴,前面坐着个十六七岁的姑娘,脸很清秀,可是眼睛却瞎了。
皮鞋匠看见进来个陌生人,站起来问:“先生,您找谁?走错门了吧?”贝多芬说:“不,我是来弹一首曲子给这位姑娘听的。”
姑娘连忙站起来让座。贝多芬坐在钢琴前面弹起盲姑娘刚才弹的那首曲子来。盲姑娘听得入了神,一曲完了,她激动地说:“弹得多纯熟啊!感情多深哪!您,您就是贝多芬先生吧?”
贝多芬没有回答,他问盲姑娘:“您爱听吗?我再给您弹一首吧。”
一阵风把蜡烛吹灭了,月光照进窗子来,茅屋里的一切好像披上了银纱,显得格外清幽。贝多芬望了望站在他身旁的穷兄妹俩,借着清幽的月光,弹起琴键来。皮鞋匠静静地听着。他好像面对着大海,月亮正从水天相接的地方升起来。微波粼粼的海面上,时间洒遍了银光。月亮越升越高,穿过一缕一缕轻纱似的微云。忽然,海面上刮起了风,卷起了巨浪。被月光照得雪亮的浪花,一个连一个朝着岸边涌过来……皮鞋匠看看他妹妹,月光正照在她那异常安静的脸上,照着她睁得大大的眼睛,她仿佛也看到了,看到了她从来没有看到的景象,在月光照耀下的波涛汹涌的大海。
兄妹俩被美妙的琴声陶醉了。等他们从音乐中清醒过来,贝多芬早已离开了茅屋。他飞奔回客店,花了一夜工夫,把刚才弹的《月光曲》记录了下来。
这是我国《全日制十年制学校小学语文课本》第七册里的一篇课文,讲的是贝多芬为盲姑娘演奏《月光曲》的故事,这的确是一个美丽的传说。传说中贝多芬的这首曲子(作品27之2——《#c小调钢琴奏鸣曲》)描写的是海上月光的说法,源出于德国音乐批评家雷尔施塔布(1799—1860),他用的是瑞士风光明媚的琉森湖上的月光的别名。俄国钢琴家安东·鲁宾什坦(1829—1894)非常反对用“月光”来解释这个曲子,他说:“月光在音乐描写里应该是冥想、沉思的、安静的,总之,是柔和光明的情绪。《#c小调奏鸣曲》第一乐章从第一个音符到最后一个音符,完全是悲剧性的(用小调来暗示),因此是布满云彩的天空,是阴郁的情绪。末乐章是狂暴的、热情的,表现的正是和温柔的明月完全相反的东西。只有短短的第二乐章可以说是一瞬间的月光。”在德国,也有人称此曲为“园亭”奏鸣曲。园亭是建筑在树荫下的凉亭,这个标题对于这首奏鸣曲也同样是不恰切的。看来,第一乐章所表现的决不是一幅明净的风景画,而是一种内在的阴郁情绪。《贝多芬传》的作者泰厄(1817—1897)说第一乐章是“少女为生病的父亲祈祷”,无论如何要比“月光”和“园亭”恰当一些。
Piano Sonata, Op 2 of No. 27 "Moonlight" creative background
Beethoven in the piece as in 1801, when he was and Zhu Li Fata your cal s (1784-1856) love this song is dedicated to her. This year, Nov. 16, Beethoven wrote to Le mentioned in the letter and she, also said: "She loves me, and I love her." But early in 1802, she has also fallen in love with Luobo Er * Halunbaobo Jazz, and in 1803 and he married. Romain Rolland and the song is linked to Beethoven's romance, saying "too soon to maintain illusions, Sonata in pain and grief has been more than a love."
Romain Rolland the first movement be interpreted as depression, sadness and pain complaints. Russia's scientists Oliver Biishev (1794-1858) that the first movement is the lost love of "bitter sorrow", like "the fire of weeping." But 1801 was the first in love Beethoven and when your char, that this work is to write the pain of lost love, but also, and the truth. For the interpretation of this work, and perhaps Russian art critic Stasov (1824-1906) view is more reasonable. He recalled listening to Liszt's concert in St. Petersburg, considers this sonata is a complete tragedy, the first movement is a meditative, tender and sometimes full of dark foreboding state of mind. He was listening when playing Anton Lubinshitan had a similar impression: "From a distance ... ... the distance, as if the soul from the sight of the depths of solemn and quiet voice suddenly rising. There are some voices are melancholy, full of infinite Grief, others meditating, an avalanche of memories, dark omen ... ... "
The song was called "Moonlight" is the result of the German poet Ludwig to the song compared to the moonlight on Lake Lucerne, Switzerland. "# C minor Sonata" for "Moonlight" in the title and legends known specifically.
Beethoven once said: "People often talk about the" # c minor Sonata, "but I had written something better than this," # F Sonata "(Op. 78) is one with this same work." shows Beethoven himself the "Moonlight" is not satisfied.
2, "Moonlight," the legend
Beethoven the first famous "Clair de Lune," this is made into a legend: The One fall, Beethoven traveled to perform, to a small town on the Rhine. One night, he walks in the quiet little street, off the piano to hear from a hut pass out bombs was his song.
Beethoven approached the hut, tweedle suddenly stopped, the house was the talk. One girl said: "This song more difficult to bomb ah! I have only played and others several times, always remember how to bomb; If Beethoven could hear their bombs, and that more wonderful!" A The man said: "Yes ah, but concert tickets are too expensive, then we too poor." the girl said: "Brother, do not sad, I'm only ones who did nothing more."
Beethoven heard this, they opened the door gently and went inside. Hut lit a candle. In the faint candlelight, men are doing shoes. Window has old piano, sitting in front of a 16-year-old girl, her face is very delicate and pretty, but the eyes are blind.
Shoemaker saw a stranger come in, stand up and asked: "Sir, you speak to? The wrong door, right?" Beethoven said: "No, I was to bomb a song to listen to this girl."
Girl quickly stood up seat. Beethoven piano sitting in front of blind girl just bouncing bombs that song to. God heard into the blind girl, a finished, she excitedly said: "The bomb is much more skilled ah! Feelings more deeply what! You, you are right, Mr. Beethoven?"
Beethoven did not answer, he asked the blind girl: "You want to hear? I give you to bomb an it."
A gust of wind blew the candle out, the moon shines into a window to, hut all seems covered with silver yarn, it is particularly quiet. Beethoven looked to stand beside him poor brother and sister, through the quiet moonlight, bounce keys to. Shoemaker listened quietly. He seemed to face the sea, the moon is moving from the place where the water phase up day. Microwave waters of the sea, the time Sabian has silver. The moon rose higher and higher, through the ray of a ray of veil-like micro-cloud. Suddenly, the wind blew the sea, rolled up the waves. Lit by moonlight sharp waves, one with a round towards the coast Bay ... ... shoemaker to see his sister, the moon is shining in her face was unusually quiet, according her wide open eyes, she seemed also to see to see the scene she had never seen, in the moonlight illuminated the rough sea.
Brother and sister were wonderful Pieces intoxicated. When they wake up from the music, Beethoven had left the hut. He flew back to the inn and spent the night work, to have bombs, "Clair de Lune" recorded.
This is our "system of full-time years of primary school language school textbooks," the seventh book in the article text tells of a blind girl to play Beethoven's "Moonlight," the story, it really is a beautiful legend. Legend of the piece Beethoven (Op. 27, of 2 - "# c Minor Piano Sonata") describes the moonlight sea view, the source for the German music critic 雷尔施塔布 (1799-1860), he with the scenic Lake Lucerne, Switzerland on the moon's alias. Russian pianist Anton Lubinshentan (1829-1894) strongly opposed to the use of "Moonlight" to explain this song, he said: "The moon should be in the music described in meditation, contemplative, quiet, short, soft light mood. "# c minor Sonata" first movement from the first note to last note, is entirely tragic (with minor to suggest), it is covered with clouds of the sky, the mood is gloomy. finale is wild , warm, gentle expression and the moon is completely the opposite. only a short second movement, the moment the moon can be said. "In Germany, also known song as a" pavilion "Sonata. Park Pavilion is the building in the shade of the pavilion, this title is also for this sonata is not pinpoint to the. It appears that the performance of the first movement is a bright and clean the landscape not, but an inner gloom. "Beethoven" author tia (1817-1897) wrote the first movement is "the father of young girls pray for the sick" in any case than the "Moonlight", and "Garden Pavilion" appropriate.
