第十二期：Overtures and Preludes

概要
这一期也是比较轻松愉快的，讲的是Overtures和Preludes～伯恩斯坦提到小时候他刚接触古典音乐的时候最爱听的就是各种overtures，的确overtures和prelude篇幅较短（其中提到prelude篇幅一般更短，而且和overtures不同的是一般只有一个部分而且速度变化不多），又在很短的时间里有很大的情绪起伏，”麻雀虽小，五脏俱全“，而且形式多种多样，又激动人心。尤其对于小孩子来说，听一个四个乐章的交响曲估计很难有耐性，大概overtures更符合attention span～这期视频以让大家听音乐感受为主，演了Rossini的Overture to "Semiramide"，Beethoven的Third Leonore Overture，Debussy的Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun和Bernstein自己的Overture to Candide，分别是一首意大利的，一首德国的，一首法国的，一首美国的，同时也是两首歌剧的overture（其中Beethoven的Third Leonore Overture有时作为Fidelio最后一幕的prelude），一首concert program的prelude和一首音乐剧的overture～

喜欢的Quote
I'm sure that part of the excitement about an overture comes from the fact that it is part of the theatre — it combines the wonders of music with the thrill of the theatre.

Great artists are that way, they're very hard to satisfy, especially by their own work; and Beethoven was one of the greatest, and therefore one of the hardest to satisfy, and the one who most of all kept changing and improving all the time, all through his life to make his music better.
