“告别”交响曲《第四十五交响曲》(告别)并不是一部伤感的作品,而是有着幽默的情趣。标题“告别”源于一个真实的故事:海顿的雇主尼古拉斯亲王非常迷恋他在艾兹德哈齐城堡的宏伟宫殿和美丽花园,每年都要带乐师们去那里驻留。1772年,尼古拉斯亲王停留的时间比往年更长,乐师们越来越无法忍受,便向海顿求援;于是海顿就创作了这部《告别交响曲》,并在第4乐章急板后面加上了慢板的第5乐 “Farewell” Symphony “The 45th Symphony” (farewell) is not a sad work, but has a humorous taste. The title “Farewell” stems from a true story: Haydn’s employer, Prince Nicholas, is so infatuated with his magnificent palace and beautiful gardens in the Alzhertz castle, where musicians are stationed every year. In 1772, Prince Nicholas stayed longer than usual, musicians became more intolerable and turned to Haydn for help; so Haydn wrote the Farewell Symphony and added the fourth movement Adagio’s fifth music
