  • 大師班:約瑟夫・霍夫曼的琴藝漫談與問答

    Piano Playing With Piano Questions Answered

    傳奇鋼琴家霍夫曼現身傳授琴藝的心法與技法作曲家荀柏格認為,約瑟夫・霍夫曼的演奏融合了古典主義的純淨與浪漫主義的優雅,不僅擁有郭多夫斯基的全部技巧,色彩與感情都更為豐沛。他的風格兼具高貴的音樂線與如歌的音色,同時擁有廣大的動態,從最虛無縹緲的極弱音到突然爆發的波濤洶湧,都能完美掌握;作曲家暨鋼琴家拉赫曼尼諾夫更是將第三號鋼琴協奏曲題獻給他。然而,霍夫曼不只是二十世紀最著名的鋼琴家,在演奏上有傑出成就,分享琴藝的心法與技法更是鉅細彌遺不藏私。本書包含了兩部分,第一部分他侃侃而談對琴藝的看法,以及他在安東・魯賓斯坦門下的求學經驗,生動有趣,兩人間的真摯情誼令人動容。第二部分是他對學琴者提出的種種問題所做的答覆,內容千奇百怪,從練琴時可不可以一邊讀書以避免無聊、要選男老師還是女老師,到精準的技巧問題,像是該如何踩踏板、手該怎麼使力、怎麼把圓滑奏彈好、如何練習八度,不一而足。然而,無論問題多大多小 ...

  • 古典音樂之門

    by 聶心 ...
    很多人一碰到古典音樂都立刻退避三舍,覺得很難理解,需要有很深厚的音樂根基,或者是要擁有高級音響器材才可以欣賞。其實只要用耳朵認真去聽就可以了!現今世代,從互聯網中可取得無限量的古典音樂資料。在新書《古典音樂之門》中,作者聶心以一個嶄新的方法,為有興趣的朋友提供一扇通往古典音樂之門。站在門外漢的角度,作者簡單介紹著名的作曲家及其廣為流傳的作品,精選一些篇幅較短的樂曲或只是一個樂章,避免初聽者覺得冗長或沉悶。作者亦有心地找出在家喻戶曉的廣告或電影中出現過的古典音樂,增添大家閱讀與聆聽的樂趣。作者聶心,於中學時代養成從電台聽音樂的嗜好,不知不覺開始沉迷古典音樂。作為一個喜歡研究的人,只是退休後才可投放多些時間去發掘、認識和享受古典音樂的樂趣。在新冠疫情期間,香港亦實行限聚令,因此長期居於家中認真聆聽古典音樂,這亦促成此書的寫作。希望能藉著以「古典音樂DJ」的模式 ...

  • 樂樂之樂:巴赫《郭德堡變奏曲》的藝術

    by 邵頌雄 ...
    邵頌雄這本巨著,是作者繼《黑白溢彩》之後另一本驚天動地之作 ── 我用這個四字成語,一點都不誇張。在我閱讀的過程中,數次擲「稿」而驚歎作者造詣之高,在華人樂評界,真是無出其右者,即使在音樂專業學者之中,邵先生也不遑多讓,自成一家之言。──李歐梵《樂樂之樂》的每一個部分都勾起一段又一段求學時期於課堂和過去研究巴赫作品過程的回憶。除了在這特別嚴寒的冬季,帶來一份暖心的感覺外,更讓筆者在每一個課題上再次反思,激發靈感,讓自已對巴赫音樂的理解,更上一層樓。──馮景禧《郭德堡變奏曲》也可以是巴赫留給世人的精彩字謎,但你若跟著追蹤,或只是觀賞邵頌雄追蹤,只會讚嘆而非咒罵。而以《郭德堡變奏曲》結構為靈感,作者巧心織裁,使《樂樂之樂》從書名、篇章到內容都與之呼應,見樹亦見林,討論樂曲之餘更放入自己現場聆樂心得,將記憶說出另一番風景。那又是此書另一項高超成就,珍貴且罕見的書寫技藝。──焦元溥 ...
