今天分享一首 Fanny Mendelssohn 的作品,来自她的一部由13首钢琴小品组成的套曲 Das Jahr (The Year),每个月对应一首钢琴曲,附加一首postlude。正值十二月,我们就来听听 December的这首吧~这首的开头感觉在描绘一场暴风雪(btw开头还跟Chopin的 torrent etude有点像lol),然后暴风雪渐渐平息,幻化成了一首著名的圣诞颂歌"From Heaven Above to Earth I Come"

这部作品是她1841年给她丈夫Wilhelm Hensel的圣诞礼物,写成后她把誊抄好,然后交给了他的丈夫(一位画家),在谱子上为每首作品画一张插画~在一封给朋友的信中,她提到了她的这个小小project,感觉真的是特别美好:

“I’m engaged on another small work that’s giving me much fun, namely a series of 12 piano pieces meant to depict the months; I’ve already progressed more than half way. When I finish, I’ll make clean copies of the pieces, and they will be provided with vignettes. And so we try to ornament and prettify our lives–that is the advantage of artists, that they can strew such beautifications about, for those nearby to take an interest in.

祝愿各位在自己的生活中也有机会发现创造这样的美好❤️
