最近聽了MIMI的建議，
買了本Brahms的生平傳記來讀
對於不善讀書的我來說
看著看著竟然開始覺得有趣了
這個作者用小說的寫作模式來探討Brahms的一生
還是傳記都是這樣寫的？
從現在開始
如果碰到自己覺得有趣的段落
都會打上來
歡迎大家一起來練英文
=D
By the time of Brahms's birth, music was becoming king of the arts, the position it would occupy for the rest of the century. That resulted above all from three generations of composers who had worked in Vienna--Josef Haydn, W.A. Mozart, Ludwig van Beethoven, and Franz Schubert. In 1833 Beethoven had been dead only six years, but his memory loomed over living composers like an awesome ancerstral presence. Schubert had died in Vienna a year after Beethoven, with his full stature yet to be understood.
Elsewhere in Europe in 1833, French composer Hector Berlioz was thirty and notorious, Frederic Chopin twenty-three and finding his way tp Paris, Franz Liszt twenty-two and worshipped, Gioacchino Rossini forty-one and retired, and Felix Mendelssohn twenty-four with some of his best work behind him, Meanwhile, Anton Bruckner was nine, Johann Strass, Jr., eight, Josef Joachim two. Richard Wagner and Giuseppe Verdi were both twenty, Verdi wondering if he was talented enough to write operas, Wagner convinced of his genius but not quite decided what to be a genius at. (他們兩個好可愛XD）Clara Wieck of Leipzig was a famous piano prodigy at fourteen, shortly to become a sensation. Her future husband, Robert Schumann, was twenty-three, recently a piano student of Clara's father, and had composed his astonishing first opuses for the piano. In 1834, Schumann would found the Neue Zeitscbrift fur Musik and make it the most important journal in Europe promoting progressive composers.
這兩小段把Brahms出生時，附近的音樂家現況全部串連在一起
讓永遠搞不清楚誰先誰後的我，開始產生了一點點的邏輯
真是可喜可賀啊！！
BTW,
書中還提到他的爸媽是差了17歲的姊弟戀
爸爸當初想娶媽媽的目的只是因為想快點成家，
再加上媽媽很會煮飯跟縫衣服而已 = ='''
而媽媽嫁給爸爸的原因是因為
爸爸看起來滿帥的，再不嫁就沒機會嫁出去了
哈哈
以下再附上一小段：
Brahms would never happily set foot on a ship in his life, and never board an oceangoing one at all. He had an instinctive fear of sailing, one more thing that made him a peculiar native of Hamburg. He would travel much, by preference on solid land. Sailing measureless seas was not his style. The Eisenbahn, the iron road, would be his vessel.
請待續...。
