Air with Variations (The Harmonious Blacksmith) Piano Solo 变奏曲 钢琴 亨乐版

这些变奏曲是亨德尔最著名的键盘作品之一。据称，作曲家在铁匠铺躲避一场突如其来的大雨时，铁匠在铁砧声中唱着欢快的旋律，这激发了他创作这首不寻常作品的灵感。亨德尔在 1720 年出版的第五首键盘组曲中使用了这一主题和五个变奏作为结束乐章。由于主题朗朗上口，《和谐铁匠》变奏曲后来越来越受欢迎，包括作为独立乐曲。这里介绍的版本以亨德尔的组曲版本为主要来源（因为他肯定亲自核对过），同时还采用了现有的手稿来源"

原文简介:
These variations are among Handel's best-known keyboard works. The composer was allegedly inspired to create its unusual when, seeking refuge in a smithy's shop from a sudden rain shower, he hard the blacksmith singing a cherrful melody to the sound of his anvil. Handel used the theme with five variations as the closing movement of his fifth keyboard suite, which he published in 1720. With its catchy theme, the Harmonious Blacksmith variations enjoyed increasing popularity thereafter, including as an independent piece. The edition presented here uses Handel's edition of the suite as its main source (since he definitely checked it personally), along with the available manuscript sources.
