Chapter 430: It Feels Good

The main section is composed of two contrasting themes, the first of which has two elements: the first is a rapid upward melody played by cellos and double basses, which has the power to move forward, but seems a little hesitant.

Another factor is the corresponding sentence on this basis, which consists of a series of chords, which is calm, suppressed, and shows uneasiness.

After this theme has been stated twice, the horn plays a very lively, horn-like new theme, and the familiar rhythm makes us immediately sure that the theme of the first movement appears here in a different image, majestic, steady, and characteristic of a march.

Two sharply contrasting themes with different temperaments appear in turn, showing scenes of turmoil and hard struggle, and each time it becomes more and more sharp, complex, and full of dramatic effect.

The middle part takes the warm German-Austrian folk dance music as the central theme, from C minor to bright C major, the music adopts the contrast technique of polyphonic fugue and major key harmony, the mood is warm and optimistic, first played by cello and double bass, it contrasts with the previous music, there is an irrepressible force, causing a storm to surge, showing the power of the people wave after wave and the belief in victory stronger and stronger.

The third part is the dynamic reproduction part.

Both themes in the first part are played in muted tones, reproduced and developed.

The basic motive rhythm of the timpani beating indicates the continuation of the conflict, which is the accumulation of strength to prepare for the final sprint.

Then, the first theme appears softly, the music stretches freely upward, and the band's vocal range expands, the dynamics from weak to strong, and the tonal colors from dark to light, gradually developing into an irrepressible force, and the loud chord notes lead into the glorious final movement.

Fourth movement Allegro in 4/4 time, sonata style.

The grand fourth movement is full of light and joy, and is a warm scene of jubilant victory. The main theme of the Presentation consists of two parts, the first of which begins with a majestic triumphal march with full chords and a positive melody, which is played by the whole orchestra.

The mood of the second part of the music is coherent with the previous part, played by horns and woodwinds, the timbre is bright and soft, the rhythm of the march, and the mood is joyful and singing.

The minor theme is played by stringed instruments, built in G major.

This is a joyful dance music with a three-tone rhythm and a relaxed and undulating rhythm.

In the final section of the presentation section, a new melody appears associated with the presentation section.

The opening section is based on the extensive and active development of the second theme, and the rising music, like an endless crowd, merges into a sea of joy.

Towards the climax, the "Fate" pattern is inserted again, but it is no longer resolute and powerful, but rather a reminiscence of past struggles, echoing the first movement.

The reproduction section basically repeats the music of the presentation section, but the new power is slightly increased.

This new theme, like a huge wave flowing from the bottom of the hero's heart, is confident, heroic and courageous. The gigantic coda is accompanied by a glorious triumphal march in C major, which has an overwhelming momentum and expresses the incomparable joy of the people who have finally won the victory after the struggle.

The Fifth Symphony is one of the most representative works of Beethoven's symphonies, and Engels said: "If you have not heard this magnificent work, then you have never heard any work in your life." ”

The tonal C minor of the work, which is considered to have a special meaning for Beethoven, symbolizes "stormy heroism".

Charles Rosen also wrote, "Beethoven embodies the hero in C minor...... to present the composer's most outgoing character, at this time he refuses to compromise anything. ”

. A. Hoffmann, who commented shortly after the premiere, likened the work to "a bright light piercing through the deep night" in a dramatic tone, and said that "only through it can we mobilize all passions, burst out with the cry of our hearts, and we can live with determination and become watchmen of the soul".

He then praised "this rhapsody of genius" for its "incomparable inner connection" and for "deep and affectionate" bringing the listener "into an endless spiritual world."

The Fifth Symphony had a tremendous impact on composers and music critics, both technically and emotionally, such as Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Bruckner, Mahler and Berlioz.

The Fifth Symphony, along with the Third Symphony "Heroes" and the Ninth Symphony "Chorus", is one of the most innovative of Beethoven's works.

The Fifth Symphony premiered at the Vienna Theater on December 22, 1808.

This huge concert features the premiere of Beethoven's new works and is conducted by the composer himself.

The show lasts more than four hours.

The names of the two symphonies are reversed: the fifth, the sixth, and the sixth, the fifth.

A year and a half later, however, another concert was enthusiastically echoed. A. Hoffman's comments published in the journal.

Hoffman excitedly described: "The bright light pierced through the night in this area, and at the same time we felt a great shadow that lingered upon us and destroyed everything in us, except the pain of the endless longing, the pain that caused the joy that had been kindled in the shouts of jubilation to fall and pass away."

This pain, while consuming love, hope, and joy without destroying them, makes us burst out with all our passions into a full-hearted scream.

Only through such pain can we live with determination and become steadfast watchmen of our souls. ”

Soon the symphony became the highlight of every recital and can be said to be a hallmark of classical music, with the Fifth Symphony in C minor being performed by the New York Philharmonic on December 7, 1842, and by the National Symphony Orchestra on November 2, 1931.

With its technical and emotional impact, the Fifth Symphony in C minor has had a great influence on composers and music critics, including Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Bruckner, Mahler and Berlioz.

Like the Symphony No. 3 in E flat major and the Ninth Symphony in D minor, Symphony No. 5 in C minor is a major innovation in Beethoven's oeuvre.

Everyone is familiar with Beethoven.

Ludwig van Beethoven, born December 16, 1770 and died March 26, 1827, was a German composer and musician and one of the representatives of the Viennese classical school.

Beethoven's major works are dominated by nine symphonies, including Symphony No. 3 "Hero" in E flat major, Symphony No. 5 "Destiny" in C minor, Symphony No. 6 "Pastoral" in F major, Symphony No. 7 in A major, Symphony No. 9 in D minor "Chorus" (main theme of "Ode to Joy"), Overture "Egmont", "Leonora", Piano Sonata No. 14 "Moonlight" in C sharp minor, Piano Sonata No. 5 "Spring" in F major, and Romance No. 2 in F major.

He was a master of classical music and opened the way for the music of the Romantic period, and played a pivotal role in the development of music in the world.

Beethoven's place in the history of music is extremely prominent, he is not only the master of the classical style, but also the founder of the romantic style.

As a master musician, Beethoven also paid considerable attention to art songs, he was a pioneer in the creation of German art songs, and composed more than 60 art songs with piano accompaniment in his lifetime.

Ludwig van Beethoven was born on December 16, 70, to a poor family in Bonn, Germany, to a tenor singer in the local court choir and the daughter of a court chef who suffered from life.

Under the strict training of his father, Ludwig van Beethoven showed his musical talent, but Ludwig van Beethoven was often beaten and scolded by his father, Beethoven suffered from otitis media at the age of five, and began performing on stage at the age of eight.

Ludwig van Beethoven published his first work "Piano Variations" at the age of 11, played the harpsichord at the age of 4, performed on stage at the age of 8, and won the reputation of a musical prodigy, at the age of 10, he studied under the most famous music educator in Prussia, Nie Fei, at the age of 12, he was recommended by Nie Fei to work as an organist assistant in the court orchestra of Count Walterstein, which was the beginning of Beethoven's career as a "musical servant", and at the age of 13, Beethoven joined the court orchestra as an organist and pianist.

In 1781, Beethoven studied piano and composition with orchestra conductor Christian Gottrob Neufer, and Beethoven also studied violin with Franz Anton Rees, and under the guidance of his new teacher, Beethoven began to develop his own unique style.

After arriving in Vienna in 1787, he began to study composition with Mozart, Haydn and others, at first, Mozart wanted to see his ability to let him play music, Mozart listened to his performance, and predicted that one day Beethoven would shake the world.

Soon after Beethoven arrived in Vienna, he received news of his mother's death, and he had to rush back to Bonn immediately, but due to family drags, he did not come to Vienna for the second time until after his father's death in the autumn of 92, but Mozart was no longer alive by this time, and Beethoven studied with Schenck, Abrechberg and Salieri.

Beethoven's greatness lies not only in being a musician. He has a beautiful soul that is very bored and refined in life, and he is a hero of the heart. His music is an expression of this heroic heart.

In Beethoven's time, the great sage of European music was Mozart. However, the value of Mozart's music, after all, is limited to a kind of "architecture of sound", that is, it only has the meaning of existence because of the "beauty" of music. Beethoven, on the other hand, is even more brilliant, and his music is a representation of his great soul. Mozart's music is the art of feeling, and Beethoven's music is the sound of the soul.

The greatest work of his life, the Ninth Symphony, was composed after he was completely deaf. It is a wonderful story that a deaf man can make music, and what he has done is the greatest masterpiece in the world! It is known that it is all the product of a transcendent spirit, and only the hero of the spirit who can transcend the great suffering of life can attain it. It can also be seen that fate can only manipulate cowards and cowards for human beings, and there is nothing to do with this great spiritual hero. Beethoven's ear disease began at the age of 28 (1798). From then until his death at the age of 57 (1827), the more than 20 years between the sun and the moon were all periods of deafness. However, most of the works were produced during this period. It was not until he reached the stage of total deafness and could not hear the applause of the audience standing on the bandstand that he continued to compose, and finally put down his pen for the greatest "Ninth Symphony". When he was dying, he sighed like this:

"Alas! I only wrote a few notes!"

The greatness of his ambitions can be glimpsed in this sentence.

Beethoven was very negligent in his worldly feelings, and he was often arbitrary and despised the world.

On the surface, he is a fanatic.

So Beethoven had no friends other than those who understood him very well and forgave him.

And for the owner of the inn, there is often a conflict, so intense, so that he must move several times a year.

Critics described his violent personality with the following words:

"Beethoven was a man who lived alone on a deserted island with no people, and was suddenly brought into the civilized society of Europe. ”

This is a very clear description of Beethoven's side. Artists tend to be romantic and uninhibited, and Beethoven is an extreme example. Czerny, a famous European pianist at that time, visited him one day and saw him crouching indoors with heavy gauze wrapped around his ears. Cherny came out and said to the people:

"This man is not like the number one musician in Europe, but rather like Robinson on a desert island. ”

He often dipped cotton in yellow potion, stuffed it in his ears, and wrapped gauze around it. The whiskers on his jaw often grew to more than half an inch. The hair never seems to have touched the comb. Bundles of wheat stand on their heads like they're standing on their heads. He was once so angry that he didn't do well with a pot of soup that he picked it up and threw it on the hostel's body. He often pulls out the heart of a candle and uses it as a toothpick. In the morning, when the street was busy, I put on my bedclothes and shaved my beard at the window by the street, regardless of people's attention and surprise.

Once, in order to get angry, he picked up an open inkwell and threw it on the keyboard of the piano. When he played the piano, because his fingers were hot after a long time, he often put a basin of cold water next to the piano, and when his fingers were hot, he would soak his hands in cold water and continue to play.

However, his movements were very violent, and every time he played the harp, he would sprinkle a great deal of cold water on the floor, and this cold water would run down the cracks in the floor and drip into the beds of the people below.

The owner of the downstairs questioned the owner of the hostel, and the owner of the inn said a few words to Beethoven, and Beethoven became angry and immediately moved out of the hostel.

Beethoven's posture was extremely ugly.

He has a big head, a short body, a smile on his face, and extremely clumsy movements. At one point, he wanted to learn to dance, but he wouldn't move to the beat. According to rumors, the expression of his physiognomy was often cold and bitter. He was five feet four inches long, with very wide shoulders, many acne scars on his face, his face was red brown and rough, and his nose was hard and straight. The fingers are short, and the length of the five fingers is slightly short, and the back of the hand has long hairs. His hair is plentiful and black, he never combs it, he never wears a hat, and he often goes out for a walk with his head unkempt. On windy days, his hair was blown like flames. People met him in the wilderness, and they suspected him of being a demon in hell.

Li Dabao played fascinated.

The people around him were mesmerized by the sound of his piano.

Everyone was blown away, especially the pianist in his fifties.

Originally, he didn't have much hope for Huaxia's piano.

He even felt that the current piano had reached its peak.

No one can play better.

Who knew that in this classroom, such beautiful music could be heard?

This piano piece shook his soul.

And the teenage girl just now, she really didn't expect the strange big boy in front of her to play the piano music so well?

This is astonishing.

Someone has already posted this video on the web.

Because many people smelled Li Dabao's body, there was a strong smell of wine.

The title of the video on the web is:

The master is in the folk, and the drunk man actually played a world-famous song.

"Why is this back so familiar?"

As a music student, I said that I had never heard this piano piece before. ”

"Is this piano music original? How is it possible? How can a drunkard play a famous music? It is absolutely impossible. ”

"I'm rubbing, I want to kill you fools, don't you see who this person is?

I can really be sure that this piano piece must be original.

There is simply no song in his hand that is not original. ”
