L'Arlésienne Suite No. 1 比才 阿萊城姑娘組曲 總譜 歐伊倫堡版

1872年9月30日，由比才創作附帶音樂的杜德戲劇《阿爾蓮娜》在沃德維爾劇院首演，這對劇作家和作曲家來說都是一個毀滅性的事件，該劇在演出19場後就被從劇碼中刪除了。不過，評論家約翰內斯-韋伯（Johannès Weber）對比才的配樂品質很有警覺，他建議作曲家為大眾音樂會摘錄和重新配樂幾首曲子，"在大眾音樂會上，這些動聽的音樂會比在雜耍劇場更受觀眾歡迎"。比才肯定很快就採納了韋伯的建議，因為僅六周後，第一首《阿爾西涅》組曲就於 1872 年 11 月 10 日在大眾音樂會上首演，而且這部經過刪節的新作品很快就被許多其他樂團採用。因此，比才在 1875 年 6 月逝世之前，巴黎的所有主要音樂會都演奏了他的《阿爾萊西安》組曲，這讓他感到十分欣慰，自此之後，這部作品一直穩居音樂會和錄音曲目之列

原文簡介:
The première of Daudet's play, L'Arlésienne, with incidental music by Bizet, at the Théâtre du Vaudeville on 30 September 1872, was a devastating event for both playwright and composer and the production was removed from the repertory after 19 performances. The critic Johannès Weber, however, was alert to the quality of Bizet's score and suggested that the composer should excerpt and rescore several pieces for the Concerts populaires where 'the lovely music would be better appreciated than at the Vaudeville'. Bizet must have moved rather quickly to follow Weber's suggestion, for the première of the first Arlésienne suite took place only six weeks later at the Concerts populaires on 10 November 1872 and the work in its new abridged form was soon taken up by many other orchestras. Thus, before his death in June 1875, Bizet had the satisfaction that his suite from L'Arlésienne was played by all the major concert societies in Paris and it has remained firmly in the concert and recorded repertoire ever since.
