ExclusiveMendelssohn: Symphony no. 3 'Scottish', Op. 56 - III. Adagio 門德爾松：第三交響曲「蘇格蘭」- 第三樂章 慢板

【Classical music and nature 古典音樂小站】Felix Mendelssohn: Symphony No. 3 'Scottish', Op. 56 - III. Adagio. This beautiful piece was played by Musopen Symphony. It has Creative Commons license (PDM 1.0 DEED, Public Domain Mark 1.0 Universal) and is provided through www.musopen.org.

Mendelssohn (1809-1847) travelled to England in 1829, a month after his premiere of Bach's Mathew Passion. Besides his concert duties, he found time to inspect some of the cultural heritage and he also met Sir Walter Scott. His compositional imagination was not idle either:

"I will be free, I want to write one or two things here, or in Scotland. It is not for nothing that there are bagpipes in the world!”

While exploring Scotland, he visited the Stuarts' Holyrood castle, and as he wrote in a letter, it made a deep impression on him:

“Today at dusk we went to the castle where Mary Queen of Scots lived and loved; they showed me a small room where a spiral staircase led up to its door, from which they dragged out Rizzio from a dark corner and murdered him… The adjacent chapel has now collapsed and is overrun by grass and bushes. At the altar which is now ruined, Mary was crowned Queen of Scotland. Everything was in ruins and decay, and above was an open sky. I believe I have found the life of my Scottish symphony.”

It seems that this is when Mendelssohn first began to plan the work. This lyrical description is certainly reflected in the seriousness of the symphony's introductory Andante. Interestingly, it was only completed thirteen years later in 1842. Mendelssohn dedicated it to the monarch of England, Queen Victoria." Source: Hungarian NATIONAL PHILHARMONIC.

【古典音樂小站】門德爾松：第三交響曲「蘇格蘭」- 第三樂章 慢板。這首美妙的樂曲由Musopen交響樂團演奏。 它擁有創用CC授權（PDM 1.0 DEED，公眾領域標記1.0通用版）並通過www.musopen.org提供。

門德爾松（1809-1847）在1829年前往英國，就在他首演巴赫的《馬太受難曲》後的一個月。 除了他的音樂會職責，他還找到時間考察了一些文化遺產，並且會見了沃爾特·司各特爵士。 他的作曲想像力也不是閒著的：

“我將自由，我想在這裡或在蘇格蘭寫一兩件東西。風笛一定有在世界上存在的理由！”

在探索蘇格蘭時，他參觀了斯圖亞特家族的荷里路德宮，正如他在信中所寫，這給他留下了深刻的印象：

「今天黃昏我們去了瑪麗蘇格蘭女王生活和愛過的城堡；他們給我看了一個小房間，一條螺旋形的樓梯通向它的門，從那裡他們把裡齊奧從一個黑暗的角落裡 拖出來並謀殺了他……旁邊的教堂現在已經倒塌，被草叢和灌木叢覆蓋。在現在已經破敗的祭壇上，瑪麗被加冕為蘇格蘭女王。一切都是廢墟和衰敗，上方是開闊的天空。 我相信我已經找到了我的蘇格蘭交響曲的生命。”

看來這是門德爾松首次開始規劃這部作品。 這種抒情的描述顯然反映在交響曲序曲的嚴肅性中。 有趣的是，這部作品直到13年後的1842年才完成。 孟門德爾松將它獻給了英格蘭的君主，維多利亞女王。 " 來源：匈牙利國家愛樂樂團。
