昨天听完了篇幅宏大的Diabelli Variations，今天分享一套轻松一点的，但被忽略的作品：贝多芬改编的folksongs～贝多芬改变的folksong有170余首之多，主要是British地区为主（苏格兰，爱尔兰，威尔士，英格兰），这是由于这些folksong的改编是由一位收集苏格兰民歌的苏格兰人George Thomson之托。贝多芬对待这些改编是非常认真的，Thomson曾多次请求把伴奏的部分简单化都被否决，他说：“I am not accustomed to retouching my compositions; I have never done so, certain of the truth that any partial change alters the character of the composition. I am sorry that you are the loser, but you cannot blame me, since it was up to you to make me better acquainted with the taste of your country and the little facility of your performers.”（这话说的也是够狠的lol😂

分享其中一首Sweet Power of Song～
