Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 4 (full)

Knowing Beethoven is due to the "Pathetique",  admiring Beethoven is due to "Choral"  , being thankful Beethoven  is due to the "Pastoral", reveling in Beethoven is due to "Moonlight" , but after listening to his Fourth Piano Concerto, a vivid  Beethoven  sparkles in my eyes...

The reason why i do not give its nickname is i do not find any words to express its real meaning and mood. so i  reluctantly call it "Beethoven's Fourth Piano Concerto." He has composed  total of five piano concertos.

It is said that after Beethoven's teacher, Haydn, listened to this work, he told people that he was  shocked just like  he listened to  "destiny" .   Conductor  Chen Xie Yang  of  Shanghai Symphony Orchestra recalled  when he had just returned from the bullpen( a jail)  back to Shanghai , he walked by a house , this Beethoven piano concerto spread from that window , suddenly , pain, winding, pleased and hope, ups and downs all got together in his mind, he has been standing in that doorway until the end of the music, letting his tears slumped ·

Now let's enjoy this so TOUCHING  music that  moved many people.

We can imagine : while  Beethoven was leaning  against a very, very large tree,  dozing and entering a beautiful dream ;  yet  the same theme let us into a different dream .  Beethoven's memories?  a beautiful Valentine ?  his favorite mother ? in these wonderful memories ,  the brass unkindly announce the sun goes down ,  finally, slowly and slowly ,when the  romantic atmosphere  diffuse distribution throughout the heart of the audience, the piano accompanied by the band ended the first movement ·

The second movement: smooth Andante, e minor
Suddenly, , bad luck of fate strikes  Beethoven's door, cello has a strong ensemble , piano's pleading seems so weak. Good (piano) and evil (cello and orchestra) begin  a dialogue, what is the dialogue? Does the Grim Reaper  let his mother off ?Does  Beethoven request his  destiny to give a woman  loved much by him ? Or is it about his ear problem? Later,  the sound of the piano becomes lower and lower, cello and the band do not make sounds, that is why? It is Beethoven that decides to resist, to struggle against his  fate!

The third movement: Rondo, Allegro even, G major
Piano begins  a wonderful variation, after his struggle with the fate,Beethoven rediscovers  the pleasures of life, such as being reborn! Soft piano melodies and cheerful band thrilling unison mix each other, vividly embodies Beethoven's essence: the beauty of strength, the beauty of spirit ,the beauty of will .

The music ended , but I felt it was not enough for me to listen to .  I am expecting Maestro GB's playing,  how wonderful ! The mood that  can not be expressed in human language is able to be  accomplished with one breath   and rush down a thousand li   in the music .......
了解貝多芬是由於“悲愴”,佩服貝多芬是由於“合唱”,感謝貝多芬是由於“田園”,陶醉於貝多芬是由於“月光”,而聽了他的第四鋼琴協奏曲後,我眼裡才看到了一個活生生的貝多芬...
貝多芬的這首協奏工沒有被冠以任何雅名的原因,我以為是實在找不到任何文字能真實地表達她的意境,無奈只能直呼她“貝多芬第四鋼琴協奏曲”。貝多芬一共寫了五首鋼琴協奏曲,這是其中的第四首。
據說貝多芬的老師海頓在聽過這部作品之後說,和像聽了“命運”一樣地震撼。記得上海交響樂團指揮陳燮陽先生曾回憶說當年他剛從牛棚回上海時,一天從一戶人家門口經過,窗戶中傳出這首貝多芬的鋼琴協奏曲,頓時間,痛苦,委曲,欣慰和希望。酸甜苦辣一齊湧上心頭,他一直站在門口,直到樂曲結束,任淚水狂瀉···
現在讓我們一起來欣賞這讓無數的人為之動容的樂曲吧。

第一樂章:中庸的快板,G大調
由鋼琴領奏,鋼琴的輕鬆與從容使整個作品的第一樂章充滿了浪漫與安逸的迷霧。隨後,希望的太陽升起來了,人們滿懷希望地忙碌起來,這時鋼琴也醒透了,開始了第二主題。奏出了生命中的愉悅,隨後是展開部,你可以看到田園生活的美好,其中不乏鋼琴與長笛的互相嬉戲,與單、雙簧管的協作,鋼琴追逐著樂隊像個頑皮的小姑娘·· · 隨後是再現部,這不是簡單的再現,我們可以想像,那是貝多芬靠在一顆非常非常大的樹下作曲時在打盹中預見的夢境;一樣的主題卻把我們帶入了不同的夢境;那是貝多芬的回憶,那是美麗的情人··· 也是對他最愛的母親的回憶,在這美妙的回憶中,銅管樂器卻不合人情地宣布太陽下山了,鋼琴卻不滿意一天只有這麼短,開始了華彩樂段,最後,慢慢的,當浪漫的氣息漫布了聽眾的整個心田後,鋼琴在樂隊的陪同下結束了第一樂章···
第二樂章:流暢的行板,e小調
突然,厄運敲響了貝多芬的大門,在強大的大提琴的合奏下,鋼琴的哀求顯得那麼的軟弱無力。善良(鋼琴)與邪惡(大提琴與樂隊)開始了對話,對話的內容是什麼呢?是貝多芬讓死神放過他的母親?是貝多芬向他的命運求一個他熱愛的女人?還是有關他的耳疾?後來,鋼琴聲越來越小,大提琴率領的樂隊也生息盡無,那是為什麼呢?那是貝多芬決定了要反抗,向命運抗爭!
第三樂章:迴旋曲,甚快板,G大調
鋼琴開始了精彩的變奏,在他與命運抗爭之後,多芬又重新發現了生活的樂趣,像是重生了一樣!鋼琴柔美歡快的旋律與樂隊震撼人心的齊奏交相輝映,淋漓盡致地體現了貝多芬音樂的精髓:力量之美,精神之美和意誌之美!

樂曲結束了, 可我還是聽不夠, 我期待著gb大師的演奏。好奇妙啊,人類文字所無法表達的意境,音樂卻能一氣呵成並一瀉千里……
