Janáček著名钢琴曲: In the Mists 在雾中(Dénes Várjon, piano ) (我听到的版本有14‘之长, 不懂这怎么这么短)
雅纳切克(1854-1928)是捷克继斯美塔那、德沃夏克之后又一位重要的作曲家。他是个大器晚成者,早期作品并不成功,直到40岁,创作了第三部歌剧《耶奴发》,才获成功,之后创作的灵感从未枯竭。他作有两首弦乐四重奏,《第二弦乐四重奏》作于1928年,逝世的前半年,是他的最后一首室内乐。此作原标题为《情书》,表现的是雅纳切克对比她小38岁的卡米拉·斯托斯洛娃的情感。 他们相识于1917年7月,那年雅纳切克63岁,卡米拉26岁,她当时已有丈夫和两个幼子,雅氏也有妻子兹登卡,可雅氏夫妻两人的关系并不融洽,因雅氏屡有外遇,且他们的孩子都很短命,尤其是雅氏宠爱的长女之死,更是对他们夫妻关系的一个重大打击,爱女之死最终激发作曲家完成了他九年未果的成名剧作《耶奴发》。雅氏一共写给卡米拉600多封情书(有说700多封),雅氏在致卡米拉的信中直陈道:“乐曲的末乐章反映着你所带给我的苦恼——然而,那毕竟是我欲望中的怕和爱”。 就在他们的感情将要修成正果之时,一场暴风雨却使他高烧不退,据说是1928年夏天,雅纳切克到森林里寻找情人的两个迷失的孩子,结果被大雨浇后着凉发烧。1928年8月雅纳切克被送进俄斯特拉发市的一间疗养院,12日,因为高烧引发成肺炎,他在卡米拉的照护下,走到了生命的尽头。1928年9月11日,雅纳切克死后一个月,这首作品由布尔诺的莫拉维亚四重奏团首演。在雅氏逝世7年之后,卡米拉也死于癌症,年仅43岁。 帕维尔·哈斯(1899-1944)是雅纳切克的学生,20世纪上半叶一位有着突出音乐才能的捷克作曲家,只可惜英年早逝,1941年他被流放至特雷辛,于1944年死于奥斯威辛集中营。他共作有三首弦乐四重奏,帕维尔·哈斯四重奏团在另一张专辑收录了他的第一、第三弦乐四重奏与雅纳切克的第一弦乐四重奏。哈斯的第二弦乐四重奏名为“来自猴山”,是他26岁时写的,作为回忆他在捷克摩拉维亚丘陵(在布尔诺地区的绰号叫“猴山”)——一个休闲娱乐的胜地度暑假而作的带有标题音乐性质的作品,刻画了当地的自然风景。http://music.douban.com/subject/4001108/
Leoš Janáček (Czech pronunciation: [ˈlɛoʃ ˈjanaːtʃɛk] ( listen)) (baptised Leo Eugen Janáček) (July 3, 1854 – August 12, 1928), was a Czech composer, musical theorist, folklorist, publicist and teacher. He was inspired by Moravian and all Slavic folk music to create an original, modern musical style.[1] Until 1895 he devoted himself mainly to folkloristic research and his early musical output was influenced by contemporaries such as Antonín Dvořák.[1] His later, mature works incorporate his earlier studies of national folk music in a modern, highly original synthesis, first evident in the opera Jenůfa, which was premiered in 1904 in Brno.[2] The success of Jenůfa (often called the "Moravian national opera") at Prague in 1916 gave Janáček access to the world's great opera stages.[3][4] Janáček's later works are his most celebrated. They include the symphonic poem Sinfonietta, the oratorial Glagolitic Mass, the rhapsody Taras Bulba, string quartets, other chamber works and operas. He is considered to rank with Antonín Dvořák and Bedřich Smetana, as one of the most important Czech composers (wiki)
Janacek and his wife
In the Mists (V mlhách) is a piano cycle by Czech composer Leoš Janáček, the last of his more substantial solo works for the instrument. It was created in 1912, in the time when Janáček suffered the death of his daughter Olga and his operas were still rejected by the Prague opera houses, thus in the difficult life situation. All the four parts of the cycle are anchored in "misty" keys with five or six flats, characteristic for the cycle are the frequent changes of meter. Atmosphere of the cycle is often called as impressionist, with the influence of Claude Debussy. The premiere took place on December 7, 1913, when Marie Dvořáková played it at a concert organized by the choral society Moravan in the Moravian town of Kroměříž. StructureThe cycle consists of four parts: - I. Andante
- II. Molto adagio
- III. Andantino
- IV. Presto
