-- 贝多芬的一生
Ludwig van Beethoven was born in Bonn, Germany, on December 16, 1770. His father and grandfather were both musicians.
Beethoven revealed his own musical talents when he was very young. At the age of 7 he was playing in public.
In 1787 Beethoven traveled to Vienna and met his idol, Mozart1. After playing a little on the harpsichord2 he asked for a theme, on which he improvised3 so wonderfully that Mozart listened with interest and said, turning to the other musicians present: “ This young man will leave his mark in the world some day.”
But Beethoven could not stay in Vienna. His mother fell ill, and he rushed back to Bonn.
In 1792 Beethoven returned to Vienna, where he spent the rest of his life. He became a pupil of Haydn’ s4 but was dissatisfied with his method of teaching. In order not to offend the famous master, he took lessons in secret from another composer, Joan Schenk.
Nevertheless, he quickly became famous. Then tragedy struck. He discovered that he was slowly becoming deaf. This was the great crisis of his life.
After this, Beethoven’ s music became more profound. He developed a completely original style of composing. It reflected his violent emotions, his sufferings, and joys. At this time Beethoven composed the most popular of all symphonies, his fifth, Fate, in which he expressed a musical depiction5 of his struggle with the fate of deafness. He dedicated his Symphony No.3, Heroic, to Napoleon, thinking he stood for “ Liberty, Equality and Fraternity6,” for he deeply sympathized with the ideals of the French Revolution. But the moment he heard that Napoleon had declared himself Emperor, he tore off the dedication of the title page.
It was during this last period of his life that he produced some of his greatest, most thoughtful works, among which was Symphony No. 9.
In 1826 Beethoven became seriously ill, and on March 26, 1827, he died, at the age of 57.
Twenty? five thousand people lined the streets through which was carried the bier1 of the greatest composer the world has ever known. There were thirty torchbearers, among them Franz Schubert2, with other well? known musicians, artists, authors and poets.
In the old cemetery3 in Vienna can be seen the Master’ s last resting place, which contains a simple monument4 on which is engraved the glorious name: “ Beethoven.”
The life of Beethoven is the life of a great artist who was also great as a man. His genius enlarged the language of music, for his compositions speak to the world of the struggles, aspirations and triumphs of the soul. They are deeply emotional and expressing the feelings of all humanity in their beauty. His character was a noble one. People respect him for his great genius and love him for goodness and the purity of his soul. Through grief and misfortune he bravely fought a lifelong battle with fate in order to be worthy of his high ideals. He was a man of profound vision and his music has deeply moved its listeners for generations.
贝多芬,作为世界音乐史上最伟大的作曲家,被人们冠以“乐圣”的头衔,并不为过。人们敬仰贝多芬,这不单单是因为他短暂的生命为人类留下了极为丰厚的音乐财富,更多的是他那坚忍不拔,敢于同命运相抗衡的非凡品格所给予我们的十分珍贵的精神财富。Beethoven, world music history as the greatest composer, was dubbed \"le holy\" people of the title, and much. People look up to Beethoven, and it's not only because his short life for human left an extremely rich music wealth, more is he that perseverance, dare to compete with the fate of the special character for our very precious spiritual wealth. 贝多芬的命运极其坎坷,甚至可以说“一开始,人生对于他就只是一场悲惨而残暴的战争”。当他还是孩童时,就被父亲剥夺了原本可以尽享欢娱的童年时光,在严酷体罚的压迫下,苦学提琴。然而,痛苦似乎无时无刻不在叩门。在他30岁时耳聋又无情地对他施以酷刑,这对贝多芬内心深处无疑是一个惊天霹雳,造成了难以愈合的创伤,也带来了一个沉重的打击,绝望之际,他几乎好几次寻求自杀。于是,他从内心深处发出惨痛的哀号:“我躲避一切交际,我不能对别人说‘我是聋子’!倘若我干别的职业尚可,但在我的行当里,这是可怕的遭遇。”Beethoven's fate very bumpy, even \"from the beginning, the life he's just for a miserable and the brutality of war\". When he was a child, it was father deprived originally can enjoy all the pleasure of my childhood, in the harsh corporal punishment under the oppression of, laboured at fiddle. However, the pain seems ever-present and knock on the door. In his 30 years old when his deafness and relentless torture, the heart of Beethoven is undoubtedly a blockbuster bang, caused the difficult to heal wounds, but also brings a heavy blow, the despair, he almost several times for suicide. He, then, from inside a bitter wailing: \"I evading all communication, I can't say to others' I was deaf '! If I do nothing, but in my career fair in the business, this is terrible experience.\" 但与此同时,他又发出另一个坚定有力的声音:“我要扼住命运的喉咙,它决不能让我完全屈服!”这斩钉截铁的不屈誓言,怎能不令人惊服、振作、讴歌呢?究竟是什么力量拯救了这颗趋于毁灭的心?还是让贝多芬自己来回答吧:“在患难中支持我的是道德,使我不曾自杀的,除了艺术以外还是道德!”可见,贝多芬强忍着肉体和精神上的折磨摧残,完全是出于对自己神圣使命的执着追求。他把对音乐的追求,对人类的奉献视为比生命更可贵的灵魂。这是一种力量,一种抗拒生命的不竭动力,永不干涸的生命之泉!But at the same time, he gave another strong voice: \"I will take fate by the throat, it can never let me completely yield!\" It firmly and unyielding vow, can not a JingFu, cheer up, praise? What is the power to save the planet tend to destroy heart? Or let Beethoven himself to answer it: \"in trouble I support the moral, that I never is the suicide, in addition to other than art or moral!\" Visible, Beethoven brimming with physical and emotional torture trample upon, is totally out of his holy mission of persist to pursue. He put the music to pursue, to human life as more valuable than dedication of the soul. This is a kind of strength, a resist an inexhaustible source of life, never dry up of the deep springs of life. 贝多芬的耳疾和他创作的大量音乐作品恐怕在许多人眼中仍是一个谜。最难以置信的是,一个聋子是如何创作出如此气势磅礴的《英雄交响乐》?又何以能谱写出豪放宏伟的《命运交响曲》?更是怎样去神话般地弹奏柔和明澈的《月光曲》的?翻阅他大量音乐作品,更令我惊奇的是,他的大部分音乐巨作都是在耳疾之后以靠咬着木杆来感觉音符所完成的。贝多芬从何而来如此非同凡响的灵感,如此丰富的情感和激昂的性格?这一连串的问题在我脑海久久翻腾,无不让人感奋不已,并使我油然想起奥里森·马登的一句名言:“纵观人类历史上的伟大、杰出人物,他们当中一大部分人曾经有过艰辛的童年,甚至备受命运的虐待,但强者总是善于找到生命的支点,及时调整心态,并承受艰难困苦,用恒久的努力去打破重重围困,铸就卓越与伟大。”Beethoven's ear and a large number of music he creation works in many people's eyes, I'm afraid is still a mystery. The most incredible is a deaf man is how to create a so ever-roaring \"hero symphony\"? Why write bold and unconstrained energy spectrum and grand \"destiny symphony\"? But how to play the downy limpid as myth \"moonlight music\"? Paging through his great music work, more to my surprise, most of his music masterpiece is in the ear in the woods by bite after feeling in the notes has done. Beethoven come from so outstanding and brilliant inspiration, so rich emotions and feelings of the personality? This a series of problems in my mind tossing long, without exception, let a person feel exerts, and make me think of Mr Queen allison · madden maxim: \"throughout human history, the great outstanding people, among them a most people had hard childhood, even the fate of abuse, but has the strong always are good at finding the fulcrum of the life, adjust mentality, and bear hardships, with constant was to break the siege, mold excellent and great.\" 1827年3月26日下午5时40分,在狂风暴雨中,贝多芬结束了他57年的人生旅程,孤独地死去了。死时拳头紧握,或许在最后的时刻,他仍然要扼住命运的喉咙。
