Trio 雅各 鋼琴三重奏

戈登-雅各於 1895 年出生於倫敦南部的上諾伍德，他是第十個孩子，也是第七個兒子。他在杜威奇學院（Dulwich College）接受教育，該校是一所非同尋常的音樂學校，他在那裡創作了自己的第一首管弦樂曲。第一次世界大戰期間，他在阿拉斯附近被德軍俘虜，在俘虜營裡組織了一個小型管弦樂隊，全部曲目都由他編曲或作曲。這種早期的實用音樂方法一直是他的標誌，他的音樂總是非常 "可演奏"。戰後，他決定不再從事新聞工作，而是進入皇家音樂學院，師從斯坦福、豪威爾斯和沃恩-威廉姆斯學習作曲，師從布林特學習指揮，師從塔爾本-波爾學習鋼琴。他的兩本書《管弦樂技巧》和《如何閱讀樂譜》至今仍被英語國家的學生廣泛使用，並受到高度評價。他於 1984 年去世

原文簡介:
Gordon Jacob was born in Upper Norwood, South London, in 1895, a tenth child and a seventh son. He was educated at Dulwich College, which was an unusually musical school, and he wrote his first orchestral pieces there. During the First World War he was captured by the Germans near Arras, and in his prison camp organised a small orchestra whose entire repertoire he arranged or composed. This early practical approach to music was to remain a hallmark, and his music is always eminently 'playable'. After the war, having decided against a career in journalism, he entered the Royal College of Music, where he studied composition with Stanford, Howells and Vaughan Williams, conducting with Boult, and piano with Thalben Ball. Two of his books, 'Orchestral Technique' and 'How to Read a Score', are still much used and highly valued by students throughout the English-speaking world. He died in 1984.
