Chapter 375: Mendelssohn

Qu Lihua listened to Robin introduce Mendelssohn's birth and legendary life experience, and she was also very emotional.

"Born like him, born in a very good family, he was able to receive a good education when he was a child, his father was a successful banker, his mother was a pianist, the family conditions were very good, he was trained to become a composer, he was very smooth, his family was also enviable, he seemed to be smooth sailing, his career was also very successful, and he became famous at a young age. ”

"What an enviable life this is, if Robin hadn't introduced his later life, I thought he could go on like this forever, but I didn't expect his life to be so short. ”

Meng Wenjie said: "God is still very fair, give you the same, you can't give you everything, Mendelssohn's birth is enviable, the family conditions are very good, his parents are married, and he has never divorced, he grew up in a loving and harmonious family, he has received a good education since he was a child, and because his mother is a pianist, he has naturally embarked on the road of music creation." ”

"When I rarely follow my mother to perform on stage, parents decide the starting point of a child, but the fate of people depends on themselves in the end, the family born is better, which is conducive to the growth of children, but fate is really wonderful, not everyone can guess the ending. ”

The success of his oratorio Elijah at the Birmingham Festival was a deteriorating health, and the death of his beloved sister the following year dealt a heavy blow to him and hastened his death, which he died six and a half months later at the age of 38. ”

Meng Wenjie said: "After seeing such an ending, I don't envy him, I finally understand that everyone's fate is different, maybe those who were born in wealthy families, have not suffered since childhood, and seem to have a smooth life, or imperfect, there are still regrets, the life span is not long, and he died at the age of 38." ”

"On the contrary, those whose fate seems to be bumpy, but they have a long lifespan, which is embarrassing!"

"Yes!" Robin nodded. He was lucky, he was born very well, his parents were very good to him, he did not suffer anything, he also had a complete and happy family, his career was also very smooth, and he achieved the success he wanted, the composer was still very talented in composition, many of his works were recognized by the society at that time, the social status of the composer was still very good, and the children of rich families had to learn music creation, poor children could not even afford to eat, and they were busy running around all day long for their livelihood, and learning music was an unattainable dream for them, and many poor children were not qualified to study。 ”

Mendelssohn is the most perfect master of music after Mozart, the tradition of classicism and the interest of romanticism are perfectly combined in his works, giving the works a kind of poetic elegance, he is good at incorporating beautiful melodies into the formal classical form, he is not only a poet who enthusiastically praises nature, but also a landscape painter who is good at using ethereal brushes, and his music is called depicting ** comics. ”

"Mendelssohn's talent as a composer, conductor and pianist was encouraged by piano teachers such as Marie Vigo, Ludwig Berger and Moschelles, as well as Zelter, and I think he was also relatively lucky, because many of us, even though we are very talented, have not met the right people, the right teachers and friends, and it is difficult to get support and encouragement. ”

This may have something to do with Mendelssohn having a good family, his mother was a pianist, and he would have many friends with composers, and some friends were friends with his mother, and they often came to their house, so they became familiar with them, and they knew some heavyweight composers, which was very helpful to Mendelssohn's career. ”

"Many poor children do not have such good family conditions, and they cannot get in touch with the upper class, even if they are talented, they are not developed and trained, and it is difficult to achieve the success of their careers. ”

"His fame began to flourish, and orchestral performance set new standards for his conducting, probably because he was famous, and he was invited to perform in more and more places, and he was busy and spent a lot of energy. ”

Meng Wenjie nodded, "Yes, music creation is also very laborious, sometimes there is no inspiration, you need to go outside for a walk, or meet a person, encounter an incident, especially emotional, in order to create a good work, go to the appointment, go to the performance, busy around, also very tiring." ”

"After a long time, there will be health problems, coupled with the changes in the family, his sister died, which made him very sad, he and his sister grew up together, the relationship between the two is very good, the sister died, Mendelssohn also suffered a big blow, life and death are the most difficult to bear in life. ”

"The people you care about are separated from each other, and that kind of pain is only understood by those who have experienced it!"

In half a year, Mendelssohn died, and since then there has been one less talented composer in the world. ”

However, his works have been preserved, and future generations can still enjoy his musical works, and he composed a large number of musical works of various genres in his short life, such as "Fingal's Cave Overture", "Piano Concerto No. 1", "Italian Symphony", "Scottish Symphony" and other famous works. ”

"After learning about the composer's life, I took you to visit his former home, and everyone has some impressions and understanding, so I will take you to the former residence where Mendelssohn once lived. Robin said.

"Leipzig is a famous city of music, where many famous musicians and composers have lived, and where 19th-century Romantic figures are located, such as Mendelssohn's House and Schumann's House. ”

Mendelssohn's residence is a four-story building from the late classical period, and from a distance, it is not difficult to imagine that Mendelssohn's life was rich and prosperous, and Robin had already introduced Mendelssohn's life and his family was very wealthy.

Mendelssohn also walked through the last moments of his life in this classicist building, this former residence is also very commemorative, Mendelssohn used his understanding of music, intertwined classicism and romanticism, and described a calm and calm life state for people, in his music, there are all his imaginations of life, but also people's expectations for life, there is no displacement, no suffering, only happiness and beauty, which is reflected in his musical works, passed on to the audience and friends, which is the reason why the audience likes his works。

Mendelssohn is not only a famous composer, he is also very fond of watercolor painting, on the wall of his former residence is hung Mendelssohn painted watercolor paintings, I think that his music is the same as his watercolor paintings, enthusiastic and full of rich emotional color, people are moved by the feelings he described, the beauty of life brought Mendelssohn warm feelings, he conveyed to the world through his notes and brushes.

Qu Lihua looked up and felt that such an arrangement was indeed very beautiful, and it did give people a sense of beauty.
