Pictures from the East, Op. 66 Piano, 4 Hands 舒曼‧羅伯特 鋼琴 四手聯彈(含以上) 亨乐版

1849年，舒曼出版了六首四手聯彈鋼琴即興曲，標題為《Bilder aus Osten》。從第一版的序言中可以看出，舒曼的靈感來自弗裡德里希-呂克特翻譯的中世紀詩人哈裡裡的 "Maqama"--一種阿拉伯韻文體裁。在創作過程中，舒曼始終無法忘懷 "Maqama "中的主人公阿布-賽義德，他將其比作德國人物蒂爾-尤倫斯皮格爾（Till Eulenspiegel）。這就是這些作品具有 "外國特色 "的原因。即使在 150 年後的今天，"來自東方的圖畫 "依然魅力不減，在四隻手的相互配合中細緻入微地運用了各種聲音的可能性"

原文簡介:
In 1849 Schumann published six Impromptus for piano four-hands with the title “Bilder aus Osten”. As can be seen from the preface of the first edition, Schumann was inspired by the “Maqama” - a genre of Arab rhymed prose - by the medieval poet Hariri in the translation by Friedrich Rückert. Schumann could not banish the protagonist in the Maqama, Abu Said, whom he likened to the German character Till Eulenspiegel from his thoughts whilst he was writing the works. This explains the “foreign character” of the pieces. Even 150 years later, the “Pictures from the East” with their nuanced use of a wide range of sound possibilities in the interplay of the four hands, have lost none of their charm.
