第十七期：Road to Paris

概要
这一集很好的承接上一集关于Impressionism的主题，介绍了三位作曲家是如何受到Impressionism的影响。三位作曲家分别是美国的George Gershwin，国籍背景复杂但是犹太背景很浓的Ernest Bloch和西班牙的Manuel de Falla～Bernstein通过实例展示了虽然这些作曲家有着非常浓烈的，和个人背景息息相关的个人风格，但无一不受到法国的影响，作品中有很多的Impressionism的元素：诸如whole tone，bitonality，印象派的harmony和orchestration等等。介绍的三首作品都很喜欢，尤其喜欢Bloch的Schelomo！

喜欢的Quote
We have seen that in the first third or so of our century the road to Paris was a heavily traveled one by composers of all nations and races—and not only composers with Spanish or Hebrew or American roots, but many others like Villa-Lobos from Brazil, Chavez from Mexico, Prokofieff and Stravinsky from Russia, Malipiero from Italy, and so on and on. They all went to Paris because its French spirit has been very contagious in our century, and thank goodness it has; because it's greatly enriched our whole musical life.
