【钢琴】李斯特 - 旅行者札记 S.156

Description

Franz Liszt - Album d'un voyageur, S156
Performer: France Clidat, Ashley Wass, Leslie Howard, Iren Marik, Cyprien Katsaris

The first part of the collection, Impressions et poésies, is by far the most important, and was deliberately designed to be so. In his rather florid preface, Liszt indicated that the subsequent parts would be filled with lighter folk material (although, at that stage, he envisaged that material as representing a great many countries) and that the poetic ideal to which he aspired was for the enjoyment of the few rather than the many. The set begins with a piece composed in 1834, inspired by a workers’ uprising in Lyon, dedicated to Liszt’s mentor, the Abbé Félicité de Lammenais, and prefaced with the workers’ slogan: ‘Vivre en travaillant ou mourir en combattant’ (‘Live working or die fighting’). Cast as a powerful, orchestral-sounding march, the work is very tightly constructed from an introductory fanfare figure and a more extended melody which share a martial dotted rhythm. The climax is particularly noteworthy for anticipating by some twenty years the sleep motif from the closing scene of Wagner’s Die Walküre.Most of the remaining music was composed in Geneva between 1835 and 1836. ‘Le Lac de Wallenstadt’ is very little different from its revised version, and similarly carries a quotation from Byron’s Childe Harold: ‘thy contrasted lake … warns me, with its stillness, to for sake / Earth’s troubled waters for a purer spring.’ A rhythmic ostinato of a triplet and two duplets accompanies the most innocent of melodies. With no change of key or subject matter, ‘Au bord d’une source’ follows immediately. The poem from Schiller describes the spring as the beginning of the play of young nature. It must be admitted that this first version of one of Liszt’s loveliest water pieces contains many technical complications which were more delicately resolved in the revision.

对于常听李斯特音乐的人们，可能对于三卷的《旅行岁月》（Années de pèlerinage）已经十分熟悉了，但是对于这部作品最原始的样子《旅行者札记》（Album d'un voyageur），可能了解的人并不算多。最初的版本最早可以追溯到1834年，最初的版本分为三卷：印象与诗篇（Impressions et poésies）、阿尔卑斯山的花之旋律（Fleurs mélodiques des Alpes）、改编曲（Paraphrases）。现在录制《旅行岁月》的钢琴家的相对来说较多，但是录制这套初版的《旅行者札记》的演奏者却是少之又少（这里尤其要感谢Leslie Howard对于全套和Ashley Wass对于第一卷的录制）。对于这套意义非凡的作品，我很早就有了制作曲谱同步的兴趣，因此在得到Zhenjc扫描的Editio Musica Budapest乐谱之后，我立刻进行了视频的制作（第二卷的乐谱来自imslp）。在这个视频里，我使用了各个不同的演奏者的录音（需要注意的是在Ashley Wass的专辑中不知为何Au lac de Wallenstadt演奏的是后来的改版，尽管两个版本的差别并不算太大），此外我还计划在旅行岁月相关的视频更新完后写一篇专栏来介绍这些相关的内容。初听这套作品，我们很难想象这些作品出自一位二十多岁的年轻人，尽管最初的版本确实不及后来的改版成熟，但是后面的版本也舍弃了很多初版特有的内容，例如在最初的《日内瓦的钟声》（Les cloches de G*****）中，用降E音模仿钟声的段落在后来的版本中被删去，取而代之的是由一个新的旋律引出的内容，两个版本全曲的风格都有着很大的差别。像《奥博曼山谷》（Vallée d’Obermann）全曲则在曲式结构上有了很大的改变，像最后的震音演奏的段落也有了很大克制。第二卷的《田园》（Pastorale），在后来的版本中删除了中间的部分，最初的部分低音部分做了改变，伴随第二主题的喧闹的跳跃也被大大压制。但像《在瓦伦城湖上》（Au lac de Wallenstadt）在后面的版本中改动则很小。第三卷的作品后来则改版作为《三首瑞士游记选曲》（3 Morceaux suisses, S156a）重新出版。
