在荷兰的一次公开钢琴授课时,我的老师JoopCelis演奏了约克·鲍恩的24首前奏曲的其中几首,乐曲所蕴涵的神秘色彩和浪漫情怀顿时紧紧抓住了我。这简直就是俄国、法国和英国音乐风格的混合体。尽管有时能听出受爵士乐影响的痕迹,并可能让我们联想起格什温,但其乐曲风格、半音、复调,尤其是新颖非凡的和声等方面,均非常与众不同和意味深长。于是,我心存一个愿望,那就是将约克·鲍恩和他的音乐介绍给国内的同行。 During a public piano lesson in the Netherlands, my teacher JoopCelis played a few of the 24 Prelude to York Bowen, the mystery and romance of the song immediately grabbed me. This is simply a mixture of Russian, French and British musical styles. Although sometimes you can hear the traces of jazz and may remind us of Gershwin, its musical style, semitones, polyphony, and especially novel and unusual harmonies are very distinctive and meaningful. So, I have a wish, that is, to introduce York Bowen and his music to domestic counterparts.
