II.课文分析

  1.I can see three different types of composers in musical history, each of whom creates music in a somewhat different fashion.

  本句分析:我认为音乐史上可以区分三种不同类型的作曲家,每种作曲家音乐创作手法也各有一定的不同。

  in a … fashion : 用…… 方式

  The type that has fired public imagination most is that of the spontaneously inspired composer- the Franz Schubert type ,in other words. All composers are inspired, of course, but this type is more spontaneously inspired. Music simply wells out of him. He can‘t get it down on paper fast enough. You are almost tell this type of composer by his fruitful output. In certain months, Schubert wrote a song a day. Hugo Wolf did the same.

  2.Music simply wells out of him.

  well v. 喷涌,涌出

  In a sense, men of this kind begin not so much with a musical theme as with a completed composition. They invariably work best in the shorter forms. It is much easier to improvise a song than it is to improvise a symphony. It isn‘t easy to be inspired in that spontaneous way for long periods at a stretch. Even Schubert was more successful in handling the shorter forms of music. The spontaneously inspired man is only one type of composer, with his own limitations.

  3.In a sense, men of this kind begin not so much with a musical theme as with a completed composition.

  从一定意义上说,这些作曲家与其说是从某一音乐主题开始创作,不如说他们一开始就有一个完整作品成竹在胸。

  not so much … as : 与其… 不如…

  He is not so much a scientist as a poet.

  与其说他是个科学家,不如说他是个诗人。

4.It isn‘t easy to be inspired in that spontaneous way for long period at a stretch.

  连续很长时间使自己的灵感都处于不自主状态绝非易事。

  at a stretch 一口气地,不休息地

  Beethoven belongs to the second type-the constructive type, one might call it. This type serves as an example of my theory of the creative process in music better than any other, because in this case the composer really does begin with a musical theme. In Beethoven's case there is no doubt about it, for we have the notebooks in which he put the themes down. We can see from his notebooks how he worked over his themes -how he would not let them be until they were as perfect as he could make them. Beethoven was not a spontaneously inspired composer in the Schubert sense at all. He was the type that begins with a theme; makes it a preliminary idea; and upon that composes a musical work, day after day, in painstaking fashion. Most composers since Beethoven’s day belong to this second type.

  5.belong to 属于,列入,是 … 的一员

  Beethoven belongs to the second type-the constructive type. 贝多芬属于第二类作曲家

  Most composers since Beethoven's day belong to this second type.

  自Beethoven时代以来,大多数作曲家属于这第二种类型。(创造型)

  That dictionary belongs to me .那本词典是我的。

  The third type of composer I can only call, for lack of a better name, the traditionalist type. Men like Palestrina and Bach belong in this category. They both are characteristic of the kind of composer who is born in a particular period of musical history, when a certain musical style is abut to reach its fullest development. It is a question at such a time of creating music in a well-known and accepted style and doing it in a way that is better than anyone has done it before you.

  6.belong in 属于 … (一类), 归入 …(范畴、环境、类别等)

  Men like Palestrina and Bach belong in this category.

  像 Palestrina 和 Bach 这样的人属于此类范畴(传统型)

  Big dogs should belong in the country , not the city. 大型犬(养)在农村而不是城市。

  The traditionalist type of composer begins with a pattern rather than with a theme. The creative act with Palestrina is not the thematic conception so much as the personal treatment of a well-established pattern. And even Bach, who composed forty-eight of the most various and inspired themes in his Well Tempered Clavichord, knew in advance the general formal mold that they were to fill. It goes without saying that we are not living in a traditionalist period nowadays.

  7.The traditionalist type of composer begins with a pattern rather than with a theme.

  传统主义类型的作曲家的创作开始于模式而不是主题

  8.It goes without saying that we are not living in a traditionalist period nowadays.

  不用说,我们现在已不是生活在传统主义的时期……

  One might add, for the sake of completeness, a fourth type of composer -the pioneer type: men like Gesualdo in the seventeenth century, Moussorgsky and Berlioz in the nineteenth, Debussy and Edgar Varese in the twentieth. It is difficult to summarize the composing methods of so diversified a group. One can safely say that their approach to composition is the opposite of the traditionalist type. They clearly oppose conventional solutions of musical problems. In many ways, their attitude is experimental - they seek to add new harmonies, new sonorities, new formal principles. The pioneer type was the characteristic one at the turn of the seventeenth century and also at the beginning of the twentieth century, but it is much less evident today.

  9.One might add, for the sake of completeness, a fourth type of composer -the pioneer type:

  为了全面起见,还可以加上第四种类型——先锋型

  for the sake of 为了 … 起见,由于 … 缘故

  10.One can safely say that their approach to composition is the opposite of the traditionalist type.

  可以有把握的说,他们创作的方法与传统主义者类型相反。

  approach to 通往 … 的方法, approach v. n. 处理,探讨,方法,态度
