True Self 钢琴三重奏

杰里米-阿登的《真我》是一首单旋律作品，分为三个乐章。标题的灵感来自不同的来源：佛陀宣称'真我'是与纯洁、永恒和幸福并列的四种高贵品质之一；刻在阿波罗神庙门上的德尔斐格言'认识你自己'，被苏格拉底的弟子柏拉图放入苏格拉底的口中；以及欧洲启蒙运动时期的理性主义哲学家，他们确立了个人拥有内在真理的观念。该主题及其变体贯穿始终--就像同一个演员，只是穿着不同的服装、灯光和布景。第一乐章是一首俏皮、梦幻般的歌曲；第二乐章是一曲节奏欢快的探戈；第三乐章是一个火热的熔炉，最终以熔化结束。每个乐章都比前一个乐章更长，从而强化了整部作品的情感效果。

原文简介:
Jeremy Arden’s True Self is a monothematic composition in three movements. The title was inspired by various sources: the words of the Buddha, who proclaimed ‘true self’ as one of the four noble qualities along with purity, eternity and happiness; the Delphic Maxim ‘know thyself’, inscribed above the door to the temple of Apollo and put into the mouth of Socrates by his disciple Plato; and the rationalist philosophers of the European Enlightenment who established the idea of the individual possessing an interior truth. The theme and its variants are continuously explored throughout — the same actor, as it were, but in different costumes, lighting and sets. The first movement is a playful, dreamlike song; the second, a tango in an offbeat groove; the third, a fiery furnace leading to a molten ending. Each movement is longer than the previous one, so intensifying the emotional effect over the work as a whole.
