在管弦乐队这个大家族中,竖琴有着自己独特的地位和作用。它那传统的刮奏技巧和琶音效果,常常令人把它与自然界中水的各种声态联系起来:激烈时,似飞流直下的瀑布,波涛汹涌的大海;柔和时,象辽阔平静的湖泊,潺潺流动的小溪。作曲家们用它描写水的各种形象,在古今中外音乐作品中不乏成功的例子。 In this large family of orchestras, the harp has its own unique status and role. Its traditional scraping technique and arpeggio effect often make it associated with the various sound patterns of water in nature: in fierce, waterfalls that seem to fly, choppy seas, in tender, as vast and calm Lakes, gurgling streams. Composers use it to describe the various images of water, no lack of successful examples in the ancient and modern music works.
