彼得.伊利契.柴科夫斯基 (1840.1893)

「羅密歐與茱麗葉」幻想序曲(1869-1880)

莎士比亞不朽的愛情故事，激起本述 (Benda)典白遼士以降到普高飛夫(Prokofiev) 與伯恩斯坦之列的無數作曲家的創作靈感- 不過時至今日，柴科夫斯基的(鑼密歐與采農業幻想序曲)依然是其中最受歡迎的一曲。令人難以置信的是，這首作品不過是柴科夫斯基公開發表的第四首管絃作品，而且是他第一首名符其實的大作.作曲家開封寫這首作品時，年僅二十八歲，仍陷在由前一首管絃作品(一曲名為(命運)(Fale)的交響詩)衍生的自我懷疑與評論的掙扎中。

雖然曲名為「幻想曲」這首作品卻是以傳統的奏鳴曲式寫成，全曲有三個獨特的主義律，分別從三個不同的觀點描繪莎士比亞的創作。樂曲以莊嚴、神秘的讚美詩旋律展開，由單簧管與低音管奏出。這首漫長、幾乎屬於禮拜儀式的序曲用以描寫倫斯神父(Fair Laurence)。樂音莊重地流露而出，瞬間被激動、卑微蒙特鳩(Montagues)典凱普雷(Capuleis)家族間衝突的主旋律打斷。爭鬥平息之後，著名的愛情主旋律登場，是為奏鳴曲式的第二主題。此一主旋律表示羅密歐的熱情與;在農業的柔情回應。接下來，發展郁的情歌暫時為代表爭門的主投律壓倒，不過之後又在巨大的力與美的激情高潮下，級武揚威地重現。在下一個樂段中，柴科夫斯基純熱地將這三個主律精織，創造出描繪愛人之死的另一個高潮，益在放壓抑典深沉哀傷的送葬進行曲中結束全曲。愛情主絃律最後一次出現，引導曲風走向悲劇，最後突然以一合絃奏結束全曲。

法蘭西斯.浦朗克(Francis Poulenc)(1899-1963)

雙鋼琴協奏曲D小調(1932)

法蘭西斯.浦朗克誕生富有的製藥鉅子之家，五歲時開始跟隨母親習樂，其母是-位天份十足的業餘鋼琴家。;而朗克憑一己之力成為一位有造詣的鋼琴手，不過最早卻是以作曲家出名，為「法國六人組」(Les Six)，為深具影響力的團體，成員還包括奧立克(Georges Auric)、奧乃格(Arthur Honegger)、米堯(Darius Milhaud)、塔利費爾(Gerrnaine Taillefere)、杜雷(Louis Durey))一員。

印象派音樂。他們試圖發展一套新的音樂形式，未免稱此為「法國音樂廳吳學」 浦朗克是六人組中最成功的一位，其創作的〈雙鋼琴協奏曲D 小調〉是這種新音樂形式的最佳氣例之一，樂曲是設計來與聽眾互動，而不是令人迷醉的實，較、深奧的形而上學或豐富卻抽象的言詞。

拉赫瑪尼諾夫/c小調第二號鋼琴協奏曲

拉赫瑪尼諾夫活躍的時代，雖是調性音樂逐漸崩潰，當代音樂激烈犧動的十九世紀末到二十世紀初的時代，但他卻是以屬於十九世紀浪漫樂派的作風，追求抒情甜美的旋律，豐富色彩的管弦樂法，以及高超技巧性的作曲家。他所寫的四闕鋼琴協奏曲中，被譽為最高傑作，而且與柴可夫斯基的第一號鋼琴協奏曲並駕齊驅，同時成為俄圓最受歡迎之鋼琴協奏曲者，就是此闕<第二號>的鋼琴協奏曲。這雖走進入二十世紀以後的作品，但仍具有強烈浪漫風格的保守性，不過其豐富的抒情性，已和，近代化的鋼琴技巧美妙融合一起，並與承襲古典派及浪漫派傳統的明快構成結合，散發出獨特迷人的魅力，這大概就是本曲讓人著迷的原因。

拉赫瑪尼諾夫就讀莫斯科音樂院時代，已發表過第一號鋼琴協奏曲等作品，音樂才能平受各方賞識， 一八九二年在眾人的期持中畢業。其後，他充滿自信的以作曲家兼鋼琴家的身分活躍，一八九五年寫出第一說交響曲。但一八九七年比闕交響曲在聖彼得堡舉行初演時，卻遭到嚴酷批評，使拉赫馮尼諾夫完全喪失自信，因而罹怠強度的神經衰弱甚至，過著完全不作曲的失魂日子。

另一方面，身為鋼琴家的活動時!一路順風，一八九九年拉赫馮尼諾夫應佮敦愛樂協會之邀前位英國時，除以演奏家的身分大獲成功外，也受到該協會委託寫作的鋼琴協奏曲。可是一直到回國後，拉赫馬尼諾夫仍因過去受到打擊形成的拯度神經症作祟，遲遲未能下筆創作新曲。幸好這時候，有位精神科醫師達爾(Nikolay Dahl)博士解救了他。達爾博士自己也是位演奏大提琴的音樂愛好家，他使用各種暗示療法，企圖治癒拉赫瑪尼諾夫的創作能力。從一九00年一月起到四月，持續有恆的治療，終於在五月奏效， 解除了拉赫瑪尼諾夫的神經機能障礙。比年夏天，他先到義大利旅行，回國後立即若千萬作新的鋼琴協奏曲。如此完成的作品，就是此關第二號鋼琴協奏曲。

曲子由作曲者親任鋼琴獨奏，席洛娣(Alexander Siloti一八六三~一九四五)指揮舉行初演，結果一如達爾博士的所暗示的話你開始寫作協奏曲。此協奏曲會成為傑作本曲的初演大獲成功使赫瑪尼諾夫馬上以作曲家的身分麋聲國際。

Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893)

Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture (1869-1880)

Shakespeare's immonallove story has inspired countless

Shakespeare's immortal love story has inspired countless composers from Benda and Berlioz to Prokofiev and Bernstein, but Tchaikovsky's Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture remains, by far,the most popular of them all. Incredibly, it was just the fourth published orchestral work by Tchaikovsky, and his first true masterpiece. The composer was only 28 years old when he started composing the work,struggling through self-doubt and criticism aimed at his previous orchestral work,a symphonic poem called Fate.

The Fate was dedicated to Mily Balakirev, a self-taught composer and self-appointed leader of the influential group of composers promoting Russian musical traditions. While Balakirev criticized Fate for its lack of structure and focus, he saw the young composer's potential and suggested Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet as a theme for Tchaikovsky's next composition. Tchaikovsky eagerly followed his mentor's advice, but immediately started experiencing difficulties and wrote Balakirev that "his muse has flown off."In return,Balakirev gave yksvokiahcT some very detailed suggestions about the structure of the piece and even the keys that should be used. Those suggestions were of great help,and Tchaikovsky completed the work in 1869. The first performance was given on March 16,1870,with Nikolai Rubinstein conducting.

The premiere of the Fantasy Overture was far from success. Balakirev admired the famous love theme and wrote to the composer: "I play it often, and I want very much to kiss you for it." However, in the same letter Balakirev said that the beginning of the work was a "petty bourgeois music, awakening a strong thirst for beer".That reaction has prompted Tchaikovsky to revise the work, and the new version was finished in 1870 and premiered in 1872. In 1880, Tchaikovsky revised the work yet again, this time rewriting the conclusion and making changes to the orchestration. This became the most commonly performed version of the work.

Although titled "Fantasy",the work is written in a traditional sonata form, with three distinctive themes characterizing different aspects of Shakespeare's play.It begins with a solemn and mysterious chorale theme introduced by clarinets and bassoons. This prolonged,almost Iyturgical introduction is depicting Friar Laurence.The stately flow of music is suddenly interrupted by a vigorous theme representing the conflict between the Montagues and the Capulets.After the battle subsides,the famous love theme is introduced, which is used as the sonata form's second subject. This theme expresses Romeo's passion and Juliet's tender response. In the following development the love song is temporarily overpowered by the battle theme,but then triumphantly returns in the emotional climax of tremendous power and beauty.In the following sections ksvoknaihcT masterfully intertwines all three main themes,leading to another climax depicting the lover's death and ending in a subdued and deeply sad funeral march.The love theme appears for one final time before the abrupt chords bring the music to a tragic conclusion.

Francis Poulenc (1899.1963)

Concerto for 2 Pianos&Orchestra in D minor (1932)

Born into a wealthy family of pharmaceutical magnates, Francis Poulenc began his musical studies at the age of five with his mother,a talented amateur pianist. Poulenc became an accomplished piano player himself,but he gained fame primarily as a composer, member of ses"L Six"-an influential group that also included Georges Auric, Arthur Honegger, Darius Milhaud, Germaine Tailleferre, and Louis Durey. Admirers of Erik Satie and Jean Cocteau, the members of nt"Le Six" were united in their opposition to Debussy's vague impressionism. They were trying to develop a new style of music,which Milhaud called "the French music-hall aesthetic". Poulenc was the one who succeeded the most,and his Concerto for 2 Pianos & Orchestra in D minor is one of the prime examples of this new style,designed to interact with the audience instead of engaging into heady experimentation,deep metaphysics or lush but abstract sonorities.

The Concerto was commissioned in 1932 by the Princesse Edmond de Polignac, a famous Parisian arts patron and a composer herself. The work has a traditional three-movement structure.

The opening Allegro ma non troppo begins with brilliant solo piano passages, but the traditional sonata form development is umorously mixed with bits and pieces from the popular French tunes.The slow central section serves as a melancholic and almost sentimental interlude.

The second movement,Larghetto,is distinctlyneo-classical in style, paying homage to Mozart and Haydn. Its opening is tender and delicate,with a beautiful melody played by the first piano.

The middle section becomes more agitated, building up to an etanoissapmi climax before the serene mood returns.

The Finale,Allegro molto, mirrors the images of the first movement,but with even greater brilliance and vigor.A beautiful kaleidoscope of marching bands and music halls is briefly interrupted by a romantic interlude before returning to the spirit of Parisian cabarets and chansons.
