This classic work is perhaps Bernstein's finest collection of conversations on the meaning and wonder of music. This book is a must for all music fans who wish to experience music more fully and deeply through one of the most inspired, and inspiring, music intellects of our time. Employing the creative device of "Imaginary Conversations" in the first section of his book, Bernstein illuminates the importance of the symphony in America, the greatness of Beethoven, and the art of composing. The book also includes a photo section and a third section with the transcripts from his televised Omnibus music series, including "Beethoven's Fifth Symphony," "The World of Jazz," "Introduction to Modern Music," and "What Makes Opera Grand."
Bernstein 的电视演讲系列 omnibus 的讲稿转录,但是很仔细地做了插图和乐谱标注。只是对于无法直接读谱成曲的人来说,大概有一部分内容还是配合视屏看会容易 get 一点。其中有一章从一个作曲家和指挥的角度以具体的例子讲解了一个指挥在乐团中的作用,以及他在准备一个谱子的时候发生的一些事情。有一段讲作曲家和电影音乐制作和混音之间的“冲突”,确实从不同的视角来看,音乐的要素大概会很不一样唉。...Bernstein 的电视演讲系列 omnibus 的讲稿转录,但是很仔细地做了插图和乐谱标注。只是对于无法直接读谱成曲的人来说,大概有一部分内容还是配合视屏看会容易 get 一点。其中有一章从一个作曲家和指挥的角度以具体的例子讲解了一个指挥在乐团中的作用,以及他在准备一个谱子的时候发生的一些事情。有一段讲作曲家和电影音乐制作和混音之间的“冲突”,确实从不同的视角来看,音乐的要素大概会很不一样唉。等我能轻松看得懂谱了还想再看一遍

And so Beethoven came to the end of his symphonic journey, for one movement, that is. Imagine a whole lifetime of this struggle, movement after movement, symphony after symphony, sonata after quartet after concerto. Always probing and rejecting in his dedication to perfection, to the principle of inevitability. This is somehow is the key to the mystery of a great artist: that for reasons unknown t...

And so Beethoven came to the end of his symphonic journey, for one movement, that is. Imagine a whole lifetime of this struggle, movement after movement, symphony after symphony, sonata after quartet after concerto. Always probing and rejecting in his dedication to perfection, to the principle of inevitability. This is somehow is the key to the mystery of a great artist: that for reasons unknown to him or to anyone else, he will give away his energies and his life just to make sure that one note follows another inevitably. It seems rather an odd way to spend one's life; but it isn't so odd when we think that the composer, by doing this, lives us at the finish with the feeling that something is right in the world.

前面Imaginary Conversations很有趣的,有点像GEB里面阿基里斯和乌龟的对话风格隐含着Bernstein的音乐哲学,后面基本上都是Omnibus的台词和谱子,配合Youtube视频很有趣,不过很适合初学者激发音乐兴趣,若是真正研究作曲的感觉这个也不太够...
