  1. 突然很想念的協奏曲。。。
    G minor...
    Piano Concerto No.2 Composed in 1868 by Saint Saens ~
    First Movement: A piano cadenza opens the movement with an ominous Baroque-style passage which leads to brilliant piano writing and dark, dramatic chords. This is taken up by the orchestra in a forthright style not far removed from Mozart's Don Giovanni, and dissolves into a plaintive falling oboe line. The main theme, a lyrical and doleful theme, is then given by piano, which leads to a more dramatic dialogue with the orchestra. The music becomes more tranquil, and then the second theme, a sentimental and delicate melody, is presented by piano and orchestra. This theme does not return. Light falling flourishes issue from the piano and the music slowly builds up in a climactic and increasingly dramatic episode with the change in mood well handled. The music becomes stormy, and this leads to thundering piano octaves. This episode essentially constitutes the development, although there is no strong sense of classical form.

    This continues into the reprise of the main theme, given by the orchestra while the piano maintains the powerful solo writing. The piano continues with the theme, in the lyrical mood of the exposition, but with more decorative brilliance. This leads to a piano cadenza which starts with a new motif in a ruminating passage before the dramatic dialogue returns, now worked out without the orchestra. It leads to a climax, and is followed by a melancholy theme based on the new cadenza motif, which is later joined by the orchestra. This leads to a return of the opening piano solo, now in a hushed and mysterious mood with sustained orchestral accompaniment, all very lovely and effectively handled. This suddenly climaxes and returns to the mood of the opening with the original orchestral utterances, this time with accompanying piano flourishes, before the movement finally comes to a close.

  2. 老師,我覺得妳應該屬水吧!因為妳似乎也比較愛湖、海之類的音樂。我記得妳曾幫我選的德步西作品也是水之嬉戲。我曾聽過一個理論,妳屬什麼就會愛待在那個地方。也就是說妳如果屬水應該就會喜歡海邊甚於山上
