Analysis:
Schubert (Franz Steubel 1797- 1828)
The Austrian composer Schubert is an admirer of Beethoven. At Beethoven's funeral, he followed the funeral procession with a torch and sent Beethoven's spiritual fulcrum to the cemetery with great sadness. A year later, he had a fever and followed his idol.
In Schubert's short and painful life, Schubert lived a poor life, and his genius was recognized only after his death.
Schubert was born in Richter Tower near Vienna on 1797. His father is the headmaster of a local school. His music education was that his father taught him violin and piano when he was a child.
The Devil is a poem written by Goethe and composed by Schubert. This is an artistic song written by Schubert in Eighteen o'clock. Although he had already composed the famous song Gretchen by the Spinning Wheel at the age of seventeen (this song is regarded as the beginning of modern songs), the composer still listed Devil as his number one work, because: Devil is the first of his more than 100 works to be published soon (five years later). Some people say that Schubert's name will go down in history with this song alone.
18, 19 century Germany is called Lied, and its lyrics are often selected from literary masterpieces. The words "Gretchen beside the spinning wheel" and "Devil" were written by Goethe, a great German writer. Goethe's narrative poem The Devil is a masterpiece full of romance. 178 1 In April, the author stayed at Zongshu Hotel in Cunitz village, Thuringia, eastern Germany, and heard such a true story: A few days ago, in this village, a farmer rode a horse all night, carrying his sick child, and hurried through the forest to Jena. The famous doctor can do nothing about the child's illness. In this way, the father had to hold the child back, and the father held the child tightly all the way for fear of losing him. However, before he got home, the child died halfway. Goethe remembered a German legend: Elkonin often took the children away in the dark. Thus, imaginary poems with news as the plot and devil as the theme were written in the fir hotel. In Goethe's works, the children clearly saw the demon king wearing a crown and royal clothes and his daughter, and heard the voice of the demon king talking to him: "lovely child, I want to play games with you." There are many flowers by the sea. My mother embroidered golden clothes ... My daughter will sing and dance with you ... She looks so beautiful ... I really like you. If you don't want to go, I'll force you. " He was afraid, so he put his face in his father's arms. But my father, he was just upset and saw nothing but this tree, fog and dead leaves.
Before Schubert, many composers tried to compose this poem. One composer named Le Wei wrote it very well, and Schubert wrote it more vividly, thrilling and dramatic than him. Schubert's The Devil, except the narration at the beginning and the end, is all expressed by dialogue. The three characters (father, son and devil) have their own strength levels. The father always asks and comforts the child softly, trying to dispel his fears. However, when he said to the child for the last time, "It's just an old willow tree", he was also inexplicably afraid. And stepped up his gallop (the accompaniment here is very effective), and the already extremely weak son used all his energy to call for help in horror for three times, each time more hoarse (higher range and greater strength), but every time he didn't finish, he was paralyzed (weakened). The demon king who was kidnapped by sweet words did not have the momentum of bared his teeth and his melody was lyrical. In order to distinguish different characters in appreciation, the order of their lines is listed here: narrator (16-32, Nightcrawler in the forest), father (37-40, Why are you afraid), son (42-50), father (52-54) and devil (58-72). Devil (section 87-96 "My daughter is with you"), son (section 98- 104), father (section106-1/2), devil (section1/2)
In the atmosphere rendering of the whole song, the homophonic triplet (galloping horseshoe) in the prelude plays a great role. At this time, the triplet, which is hidden and present, strong and weak, is not only a realistic role to describe, but also an important factor causing embarrassment. Intermittent phrases in the deep voice suggest the evil wind passing through the forest from time to time. In Schubert's artistic song creation, in addition to trying to express the emotion of the lyrics with the melody of the song (not entirely "nice"), he also pays special attention to the role of accompaniment in modeling. It is the characteristics and artistry of Schubert's songs to closely cooperate with the lyrics to form an inseparable accompaniment.
It is said that after Schubert wrote this song, he solemnly copied a score and sent it to Goethe. Goethe didn't notice. Later, when he heard the soprano Mrs. De Fren sing at a concert in Vienna, he was deeply moved. However, Schubert has been buried. Later, Liszt in piano master adapted the song Devil into a piano solo, and composer Berlioz adapted it into an orchestra. This shows that Schubert's artistic songs are indeed masterpieces of songs.
The accompaniment of this song can be said to be in Schubert's songs. Schubert, the most brilliant and difficult, is a master of art songs, and no one in the world can surpass him so far. His creative speed is amazing. His friend described his famous work "The Devil" as follows: "We went to the door and saw him holding a book and reading aloud" The Devil's Poem ". He was so absorbed in reading that he didn't notice our visit. He walked around the room with a book, suddenly leaned against the table, picked up a pen and wrote quickly on the paper, and then took the recorded score and went to Kongmicrograde School to play and correct it ... The whole school was already singing "The Devil" that night. "
