Schubert Serenade (Music Prose)

Qifengchi

Schubert, who has only been walking in the world for 31 years, never imagined that a musical sketch composed at a friend's party became a classic of world serenade and was sung all over the world.

Schubert serenade is accidental.

One day, a friend of Schubert celebrated the birthday of a beautiful young girl. He wrote a short poem for her. I also asked Schubert to write a poem and set it to music.

Schubert knew nothing about this beautiful girl, so he wrote a few simple notes to his friends casually, and then said apologetically, "Sorry, I don't have time to write anything more serious at the moment."

Schubert's friend took this piece home and tried it on the piano several times. I feel good and like it very much. So he made a new arrangement and invited Schubert and many friends to play for music lovers at another friend's house.

At the appointed time, everyone arrived except Schubert. The hostess was so anxious that she immediately sent a friend of Schubert's to the pub where Schubert often drank. Finally, I found Schubert in the pub. Schubert was drinking when his friends dragged him into the living room. Schubert said to everyone with great regret, "I completely forgot." Then, he sat down and played the random song. After the performance, Schubert said with tears, "I didn't know it was so beautiful." This piece of music is the famous Schubert Serenade.

Serenade is a kind of music genre, which is used to express love to the beloved. It originated from the knight literature in the Middle Ages in Europe and spread in Spain, Italy and other European countries. At first, a young man serenaded his lover's window at night and poured out his love. Melody is beautiful, euphemistic and lingering, often accompanied by guitar or mandolin.

Many musicians all over the world have serenaded, such as Brahms, Mozart, Chopin, Mendelssohn, Tchaikovsky and Debussy.

After listening to Mozart's serenade, I felt that it was a rapid allegro at first, and then a soothing and gentle lyric adagio; Chopin's Serenade is more lyrical, and every note seems to contain a strong love element. The sweet taste is presented in repeated legato, and then it is more lyrical, as if to take out my heart for the feeling of my lover; Bach's serenade is a note by note, followed by a beautiful emotional expression. Simple and lively, full of romance, the last fast allegro, all the feelings in my heart are poured out at once; Tchaikovsky's "Serenade" is full of strong Russian flavor, warm and lively, and it is a feeling of dancing pictures; Brahms' serenade is a unique adagio, just like his feeling of loving Clara deeply. Don't make public, quietly, just silently in love with Clara. Every note is love, every note is affection, every note is painstaking efforts, which makes people sad and sweet. Haydn's "Serenade" is a string quartet with a unique style, which is more like a wonderful way to express love, dancing around girls and courting, and telling the truth with romantic feelings.

The serenades of these masters are world classics and spiritual masterpieces dedicated to human beings, which make people chew and think. Compared with Schubert's serenades, these masters' serenades have their own flavors, just like red wine, wine, champagne and brandy.

Schubert's Serenade is the last classical solo art song in his short life, and it is also one of Schubert's most famous works. The lyrics are poems by the German poet Lyle Staber.

"My song travels late at night/flies to you gently/in this quiet grove/lover, I'm waiting for you/the bright moonlight spreads all over the earth/the treetops whisper/no one will disturb us/don't worry, dear/don't worry/the song will also touch you/come on, dear/kiss you my song/bring happy love/bring happy love/can you hear the nightingale's song/he is telling. The lyrics are beautiful and sincere, with a strong sense of picture. It makes people feel excited and has a feeling of pleasure, longing and expectation.

Schubert's serenade, guided and contrasted by the piano, shows a young man's deep affection for his beloved girl. With the gradual sublimation of feelings, the tune reached its climax for the first time. The first paragraph ends with pleading and expectation.

After the lyrical and quiet interlude, the music turned to the major of the same name, "Dear, please listen to me and come into my arms", and the mood became more exciting, forming the climax of the whole song. Finally, there is a sequel from the second paragraph, as if the song of love echoed in the melody of the serenade. Piano interlude between phrases is the echo of singing, which means the echo that young people expect to hear.

Schubert, an Austrian composer, is a representative figure of early romantic music and is regarded as the last master of classical music. Schubert wrote more than 600 songs, 65,438+08 operas, 65,438+09 symphonies, 65,438+09 string quartets, 22 piano sonatas and 4 violin sonatas in his short life of 365,438+0 years. He is called the "King of Songs".

Schubert1797 65438+1October 3 1 was born in Vienna. His father is a school teacher and his mother is a cook. He studied piano and violin since he was a child. At the age of eleven, he was admitted to the choir of Imperial Church and lived in a seminary, where he became a violinist and conductor. He composed the first symphony for the band.

He composed music for Goethe's poem Gretchen by the Spinning Wheel. This is Schubert's first masterpiece, which opened the floodgate of his creative inspiration. In just 18 15 years, Schubert wrote 144 songs, of which 10 wrote 8 songs in one day. In addition to songs, he also composed 1 symphony and 2 mass works.

Schubert's creative career was short, but he left a lot of musical wealth to later generations. More than 600 artistic songs have added dazzling brilliance to the world's music treasure house, and are known as the "king of songs" in the history of music.

After Schubert's serenade spread all over the world, various musical instruments played it with different instruments, such as violin, clarinet, trumpet, piano, saxophone, whistle and erhu, which reproduced the charm of serenade. At the same time, the world's three famous tenors Pavarotti, China's Liao Changyong and mezzo-soprano Guan Mucun also serenaded Schubert.

Music critics believe that Schubert injected his own spiritual characteristics into traditional chamber music. His chamber music works are all marked by Schubert, which is the last work of Vienna classicism. In Impromptu and Moment of Music, Schubert made the piano sing a new lyric style. Their randomness, spontaneity and unexpected charm have all become elements of romanticism.

Schubert respects Beethoven the most. He once dedicated four piano variations to Beethoven. On March 1827, Schubert attended Beethoven's funeral with a torch.

If Beethoven is the pinnacle of western European classical music, Schubert is the pioneer of western European romantic music.

1828165438+1October 19 Schubert, who was only 3 1 year old, suffered from typhoid fever and died because he had no money for treatment. His relatives and friends buried him near Beethoven's tomb. His tombstone is engraved with the words: "Death has buried rich wealth and more beautiful hopes here."

On the white marble tombstone, there is also a sculpture of the muse crowning Schubert's head, and the little angel offering him flowers and blue flowers.

Schubert is the first composer who is famous for his excellent song creation since 18 and 19 century. People call him "the king of songs".

Poet Eliot said, I don't want my life to be long, but I hope my poems go further than my life. A person's life is not the length, but what he leaves to the world.

Although Schubert has only been in the world for 3 1 year, his music has gone further than his life and will go on forever.
