【钢琴】李斯特 - 伊索尔德的爱之死 S.447

Description

Franz Liszt - Isoldens Liebestod – Schlußszene aus Richard Wagners Tristan und Isolde, S447
Performer: Vladimir Horowitz

We have Liszt to thank for the title which has clung, with Wagner’s approval, to the last scene of Tristan. Of course, this would be the last opera that Liszt heard before his death, and it had been close to his heart from its inception. A short phrase taken from the second act duet introduces a transcription of Isolde’s Love-Death which manages to convey not just Wagner, but Liszt’s total admiration of the music which he thought to be the greatest of its time.
The significance of Franz Liszt (1811–86) in the life and work of Richard Wagner (1813–83) can hardly be emphasised enough. As a composer, Liszt’s pioneering use of harmony and motivic techniques (above all in his symphonic poems) had a major influence on Wagner’s compositional development in the 1850s. Above and beyond this, Liszt was tireless in promoting Wagner’s works (thus in 1850 he conducted the world première of Lohengrin in Weimar) and, not least, regularly assisted him during his notorious financial crises. Liszt’s piano arrangements also contributed considerably toproviding the broader public with an impression of Wagner’s stage works outside the opera house. To be sure, Liszt also made such piano transcriptions of well-loved arias and other individual opera numbers by composers as diverse as Verdi, Rossini, Donizetti, Auber, Gounod and Meyerbeer – but he never returned to any of them as often as he did to Wagner. Between 1847 and 1883 he made 15 arrangements for piano solo of excerpts taken from all of Wagner’s stage works from Rienzi to Parsifal (though he made just one from the whole Ring cycle).

“Incredible One”只是李斯特写给瓦格纳的信中的数十种奉承称呼之一，李斯特对瓦格纳及其音乐的忠诚是一个非常特殊的例子。他们的生活和作品的交织应该成为比目前所见到的更应当彻底调查的主题。无需多说，李斯特将他的钱财和他的艺术献给了瓦格纳的事业，而对于瓦格纳作品的改编是李斯特歌剧改编钢琴作品中最大的一部分。伊索尔德与特里斯坦是李斯特生前听到的最后一部歌剧，这部歌剧从开端便深刻贴近李斯特的内心世界。在这部作品的开头，李斯特引用了第二幕的二重唱作为前奏，传达了李斯特对瓦格纳伟大的音乐的钦佩。

瓦格纳的爱之死用一个乐队的规模来构建，仿佛寰宇都在为这段动人的爱恋感伤；相较之下李斯特写的版本别有一番风味：主题的每一次再现中都能清楚听到伊索尔德的真挚自白，天地间除此别无他物

分析了李斯特改编的《爱之死》仅仅是第一页之后发现: 这里边拥有大量的一个小节换一个调性。大量的三度调性模进连锁，与三度进行仅仅是第一页就已经是这样了，还有大量的色彩填充这里边是否出现主和弦是不影响是否存在调性的，但是属七解决到其他类和弦则有这让人应接不暇的感觉什么Coltrane changes跟它相比都觉得就是逊啊哈哈哈哈哈哈
