L'Arlésienne Suite No. 2 比才 阿莱城姑娘组曲 总谱 欧伊伦堡版

1872 年 9 月 30 日，由比才创作附带音乐的杜德戏剧《阿尔莲娜》在沃德维尔剧院首演，这对剧作家和作曲家来说都是一个毁灭性的事件，该剧在演出 19 场后就被从剧目中删除。不过，评论家约翰内斯-韦伯（Johannès Weber）对比才的配乐质量很有警觉，他建议作曲家为大众音乐会摘录并重新谱写几首曲子，"在大众音乐会上，这些动听的音乐会比在杂耍剧场更受观众欢迎"。比才肯定很快就采纳了韦伯的建议，因为仅六周后，第一首《阿尔西涅》组曲就于 1872 年 11 月 10 日在大众音乐会上首演，而且这部经过删节的新作品很快就被许多其他乐团采用。然而，比才并未着手准备《阿尔莲娜》的第二首组曲。在比才去世约四年后，第一首组曲的成功可能促使他原来的出版商委托比才的好友欧内斯特-吉罗（Ernest Guiraud）改编更多的 "阿尔莲娜 "MS选段

原文简介:
The première of Daudet's play, L'Arlésienne, with incidental music by Bizet, given 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. Bizet, however, did not turn to preparing a second suite from L'Arlésienne. Some four years after Bizet's death, the success of the first suite may have prompted his original publisher to commission the arrangement of more excerpts from the Arlésienne MS from Bizet's good friend Ernest Guiraud who had earlier written recitatives and put together a ballet for Carmen.
