Franz Peter Schubert
( 1797- 1828)
Austrian composer Franz Peter Schubert. Born in a teacher's family in Vienna. He studied violin and piano with his father and brother since childhood, and became a choir boy in the Royal Church of Vienna from 65438 to 0808. At the same time, he plays the violin in a student band and learns to compose music. There have been songs, ensembles, piano music and symphonies here. Since 18 13, I have been working as a teaching assistant in the school and engaged in composition work. Only 18 15 wrote more than 250 songs a year. 18 18- 1824 as a court music teacher. He was less than 32 when he died. As an outstanding representative of early romantic music, he was discriminated against before his death and was highly respected after his death, becoming a master of music alongside Mozart and Beethoven.
Schubert is the founder of German modern art songs. More than 600 songs he composed showed excellent composing ability. The melody is simple and natural, the harmony is novel, and the big and small sounds alternate, which is full of drama. Clever use of inflection on the basis of natural phonology and harmony; There are many styles of piano accompaniment, and he puts harmony and accompaniment as important as poetry. Establish a balanced relationship between poetry and song. His symphonies are all in classical form, with lyrical tunes, unique harmony, clever colors and romantic style.
He used the color changes in harmony to describe personal psychological activities in various music genres, which was full of the harmony and vitality of nature. He put the momentary reverie into the music score and turned everything he felt into a musical image, which constituted his unique romantic melody. He had a far-reaching influence on the later development of romantic music.
Schubert's short life was very poor, and most of the time he earned some money by accident and helped his relatives and friends. Although he died at the age of thirty-one, he left a lot of musical wealth to future generations, especially his songs, which were called "King of Songs". During his intense and uninterrupted creative activities in 18, Schubert completed more than 1 100 works, including 14 operas, 9 symphonies, 100 choruses and 567 songs. Among them, the most famous ones are: unfinished symphony, symphony in C major, death and maiden quartet, trout quintet, vocal suite Beautiful Mill Girl, Winter Journey and Swan Song, and drama rosamond.
In winter in Vienna, the cold wind from the Alps is as sharp as a knife.
That night, Schubert (1797- 1828) came home from practicing piano in primary school. Schubert is poor. He doesn't have a piano at home, so he goes to primary school to practice it every day. Walking on the silent road, I only heard the wind and the street lights flashing, and the street covered with night seemed a little sad.
Passing by a thrift store, Schubert suddenly saw a little boy. He taught himself music, and like himself, he was a poor boy, even poorer than himself. It's so late, why is the little boy still standing in the cold street and not going home? Schubert saw the little boy's hand at a glance. That is a book and an old dress. Schubert immediately understood that the little boy wanted to sell these two things, but he hadn't sold them yet. Who will buy a too shabby dress and a useless book? Schubert had such an experience and state of mind when he was a child. He knows what it's like. Schubert looked at the little boy. The little boy is looking up, full of melancholy and helpless eyes and his collision. He saw the child's eyes filled with tears. Lonely streets, thick night and bleak cold wind swallowed them both up. Schubert bent down to rummage through his pockets and took out all the money. Unfortunately, there are not many Gul shields. Schubert is a bad musician. His music can't sell much money, so he has to make a living by teaching music. He doesn't even have a coat himself, so he has to share one with his companions. Whoever goes on a business trip will wear it. Sometimes, even if he had no money to buy paper, he said more than once, "If I had money to buy paper, I could compose music every day!" " "He is really notoriously poor. Schubert shook his head helplessly, handed Gulton to the little boy and said to the child, "sell that book to the teacher!" " "Then he patted the child on the shoulder. The child looked at the money in his hand. He knows that this book is not worth so much Gul Dun. He looked at Schubert again, speechless for a moment. Schubert comforted the child and said, "Go home, it's late at night." The child turned and ran away, and the cold wind lifted his skirt like a bird flapping its happy wings. He quickly turned around and shouted at Schubert, "Thank you, teacher!" " "Schubert looked at the child running and kept turning his head and waving to himself until the child disappeared in the depths of the small street where the night fog was gradually rising. Schubert is going home, too. He looked at this old book as he walked. Suddenly, he saw a poem in a book and was immediately attracted. He couldn't help reading carefully under the street lamp. He couldn't help reciting aloud-
Teenagers see red roses,
Red roses on the vilen,
How exquisite and beautiful;
Rushed to see,
Secretly praised in my heart,
Roses, roses, red roses on the Yuan Ye.
The boy said I would take you back,
Red roses on the Yuan Ye.
Ross said I hurt you,
You'll never forget,
I can never promise you!
Roses, roses, red roses on the Yuan Ye.
Rough teenagers wrestle with each other,
Red roses on the Yuan Ye.
The rose stung his hand,
Sighing and sighing are useless,
I have to admit that he destroyed it.
Roses, roses, red roses on the Yuan Ye.
This is Goethe's poem Wild Rose. Somehow, all of a sudden, the cold wind and the night are gone, and even the world around them is gone. Schubert's eyes only see wild roses in full bloom. He seemed to smell the rich fragrance of wild roses and see the figure of naughty children ... A pure and kind melody floated from the dense night, the boundless night sky and the cold night wind, which made a flower-like ripple in Schubert's heart. His heart is full of fragrance and bright stars during the day. Schubert quickened his pace and walked home. Being carried by this melody, he couldn't help running home. He immediately picked up a pen and a staff and wrote this wonderful melody. This is the song Wild Rose, which has been sung ever since. That year, Schubert was 18 years old.
—— (Excerpted from Xiao Fuxing's Imagining Schubert)
/kloc-when he was 0/8 years old, one afternoon, he picked up Goethe's narrative poem "The Devil" and read it. Suddenly, he was in a good mood. An hour later, the world famous song "The Devil" was born. This famous song immediately caused a sensation in Vienna and put him on the road of music creation. Schubert lived only 33 years old, but he wrote 634 art songs in his life. In addition, he also composed eight symphonies, some ensembles, sonatas, impromptu and other musical works. Serenade is appreciated by the world for its affection and beauty. Schubert used the color changes in harmony to describe individual psychological activities in various music genres, which is full of harmony and vitality of nature. He put the momentary reverie into the music score and turned everything he felt into a musical image, which constituted his unique romantic melody. He worships Beethoven very much. 1822, Schubert took his newly published works to see Beethoven, who happened to be absent. Later, Beethoven found this piece in his illness and said, "This piece is full of magical sparks." However, when Schubert visited Beethoven again, Beethoven was too ill to speak. Schubert asked his relatives and friends to bury him next to Beethoven when he died, and now their bronze statues stand side by side in Vienna Square.
