String Quartet E minor From my life 弦樂四重奏小調 總譜 歐伊倫堡版

作曲家在 1878 年 4 月 12 日（當時他已失去聽力）的一封信中宣稱，他的設計是要在這首四重奏中象徵他的人生歷程： 第一樂章：年輕時對藝術的熱愛，對無法表達的東西的不滿足的渴望，也是對即將到來的不幸的預示： 第二樂章：Quasi Polka（准波爾卡舞曲）指的是斯美塔那年輕時的歡樂時光，在此期間，斯美塔那熱衷於跳舞，並輕鬆自如地創作舞蹈： 第三樂章：慢板，表現他與後來成為他妻子的女孩初戀的幸福： 第四樂章：描繪了他對民族音樂的理解和成功的喜悅，但突然被最高音區的延長E音打破，這是作曲家耳聾前的致命音符。他痛苦地回憶起自己職業生涯的最初階段，希望的曙光稍縱即逝，最終又向無法逃避的命運屈服"

Brief Smetanas vom 12. April 1878 über sein Quartett (e/d/tschech.) - Quartett: - I. Allegro vivo appassionato - II. Allegro moderato alla Polka - III. Largo sostenuto - IV. Vivace

原文簡介:
In a letter of 12th April, 1878 (i.e. when he had already lost his hearing), the composer declares that his design was to symbolize the course of his life in this quartet.1st Movement: Love of art in youth, the unsatisfied longing for something inexpressible, also a presentment of approaching mis-fortune.2nd Movement: Quasi Polka refers to a merry youth during which Smetana enjoyed dancing passionately and wrote dances with ease.3rd Movement: Largo sostenuto, the felicity of his first love for the girl who later became his wife.4th Movement: Illustrates his perception of national music and the joy of success, only to be suddenly broken by the extend E in the highest register, the fatal note that sounded in the composer's ear just before his deafness. Painful remembrances of the first stages of his career, a fleeting ray of hope, then ultimately resignation to inescapable fate.
