Danzón Cubano 柯普蘭 古巴舞曲 鋼琴獨奏 博浩版

亞倫-科普蘭於 1942 年秋創作了《古巴舞曲》，作為慶祝作曲家聯盟成立 20 周年的生日曲目。這首雙鋼琴曲的最初版本由倫納德-伯恩斯坦和作曲家在 1942 年 12 月市政廳舉行的 "向作曲家聯盟致敬 "音樂會上首次演奏，後來由科普蘭和利奧-斯密特錄製成唱片，發行於音樂廳協會唱片公司。作曲家寫道："Danzon 是古巴和其他拉丁美洲國家的一種著名舞蹈形式。但它不是一種快舞，不應與倫巴或康加混為一談。它的功能類似於我們自己舞蹈中的華爾滋，為更生動的舞曲提供對比。古巴舞曲》是作曲家在數次訪問古巴期間聽到的旋律和節奏片段。Danzon Cubanon》通常分為兩段，在主題上相互獨立。這絕不是一首地道的舞曲，而只是美國遊客對古巴舞蹈形式的印象"

原文簡介:
Aaron Copland composed the Danzon Cubano in the fall of 1942 as a birthday piece to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the League of Composers. In its original form for two pianos, it was first played by Leonard Bernstein and the composer at the Town Hall testimonial Salute to the League of Composers in December 1942, and was later recorded by Copland and Leo Smit for Concert Hall Society Records. This new version for solo piano has been arranged by Leo Smit.Copland has scored the work for orchestra and the premiere of this version took place in 1946 by the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, Reginald Stewart conducting.The composer has written:The danzon is a well known dance form in Cuba and other Latin American countries. It is not a fast dance, however, and should not be confused with the rhumba or conga. It fulfills a fuction rather similar to the waltz in our own dance, providing contrast for the more animated numbers. Its special charm is a certain naive sophistication, alternating in mood between passages of thythmic precision and a kind of non-sentimental sweetness.The Danzon Cubanon is based on melodic and rhythmic fragments heard by the composert during several visits to Cuba. The danzon is normally constructed in two halves, which are thematically independent. This is in no sense intended to be an authentic danzon, but only on American tourist's impression of an absorbing Cuban dance form.
