威尼斯狂歡節


一切要從郭小美妹的發現說起。(郭美妹是我妹的雙胞胎女兒之一)


那天在車上,他聽到了一首蕭邦的鋼琴曲(現在我車上的MP3就只放了一套蕭邦大全集,不管怎麼聽都是蕭邦,哈,不用煩惱是誰的音樂)。平常有點聒噪的郭美妹,好奇的聽了一段之後,說這個旋律好像他彈過某首曲子。他一邊聽,一邊嘟囔,一邊哼著熟悉的旋律。我告訴他,這首曲子是蕭邦寫來懷念帕格里尼,一位小提琴拉的出神入化,琴聲風迷全歐洲的音樂家。郭美妹哼的這個旋律叫做威尼斯狂歡節主題,帕格里尼用這個旋律作過許多表演,很多音樂家聽過他的表演之後,深受感動,又用這個旋律創作了很多變奏曲,也就是利用同一個主旋律,稍微改變某些地方,讓音樂變得好像有些地方一樣,又好像有些地方不一樣,很有趣味。而這首曲子,就是蕭邦回憶起他十九歲時,在波蘭華沙聽到帕格里尼的表演,受到啟發所作的。蕭邦的這首曲子一般稱為:

Souvenir de Paganini






(說到這裡,這類的主題變奏曲不就是音樂界的同人作品囉?音樂家們對自己很喜歡的朋友作品,自行腦補二次創作)


隔天,我上網找youtube,拜請相關的影片。發現了底下這段影片。這段帕格里尼威尼斯狂歡節主題與變奏,聽音樂搭配著看樂譜,每段變奏一目了然,邊看邊聽讓我驚訝的下巴快掉下來,然後也笑的合不隴嘴。這音樂實在太強了,難怪帕先生的魔琴會征服歐洲大陸的人民,讓許多音樂家朋友聽過之後無法忘懷。





接著繼續搜尋,紀錄一下找到的資料,將來有用。有趣。

The year 1826 brought Variations in D major on the theme of an Irish song by Moore, convergent with the melody to the Neapolitan song "La Ricciolella". This striking work was preserved incomplete, and was reconstructed by Jan Ekier (pub. 1965). We also know that at a similar time (1827) Chopin wrote another composition for four hands: Variations in F major, dedicated to his friend Tytus Woyciechowski (lost; only the incipit has survived).
An untitled work, usually referred to as Souvenir de Paganini, consists of variations in the key of A major (Variants, composed 1829), again to the theme of "La Ricciolella". This time, however, it is a compositional echo of the performances in Warsaw, in 1829, of the famous Paganini, applauded by the then nineteen-year-old Chopin. The concept of this work is unusual: four ornamental variations are accompanied by a relentlessly invariant and extremely simple left-hand part. Chopin would return to this idea, here set out so modestly, years later, creating that brilliant example of variations the Berceuse, Op. 57. Also dating from the Warsaw period are Variations in E major on a theme from Rossini's La Cenerentola for flute and piano, attributed to Chopin (although this is not documented).

從上面這段資料,我才發現原來帕格里尼也是「借用」了義大利拿波里民謠(那不勒斯)歌曲  "La Ricciolella" 的旋律,來加以變奏、遊戲、炫技,譜寫出天才神人強者我朋友形式的天籟。

一樣是你水管的影片,義大利歌曲聽來也很舒服,味道就跟琴魔的天才小提琴炫技感覺完全不同。





然後這是豎笛版本的威尼斯狂歡節,這個人的舌頭可能有兩條,手指頭可能是12根。
