Can Frederic Chopin, who wrote no symphonies, no operas, and no string quartets, who wrote only for the piano, be considered one of the greatest classical composers of all time? Instrument makers and composers have long devoted their lives to creating sounds that capture the range and essence of the most emotional instrument of all: the human voice. From the outset, Chopin incorporated the singing or cantabile style into almost all of his piano compositions. For those who heard Chopin play it seemed like the piano was invented for him and he for it. Today his compositions continue to be performed more than any others for the piano. Chopin proved that the full scope and range of anorchestra can be experienced from a solo piano. 弗雷德里克•肖邦没有写过交响曲,没有创作过歌剧，连一首弦乐四重奏曲作品也没有，他只写过钢琴曲，那么，他算不算得上是有史以来最伟大的古典作曲家之一?人声是世界上所有乐器中最富情感的，一直以来，乐器制造者和作曲家们都毕生致力于创作出一种能体现人声的音域和精髓的声音。而从一开始，肖邦便将歌唱 或者说歌唱般的流畅风格融入到他几乎所有的钢琴作品之中。对那些聆听过肖邦演奏的人来说，钢琴仿佛就是为他而发明的，而他也似乎是为钢琴而生。直到今天， 人们仍在不断地演奏他的作品，演奏次数超过其他人创作的任何一首钢琴曲。肖邦已经向人们证明，一支交响乐队所能发挥的神韵及所有音域范围都能从一首钢琴独 奏曲中得到体现。 |
