Symphony No.3 (Scotland)

Mendelssohn's Symphony No.3 (Scotland) in A minor, Op.56, was written between 1830- 1842, and its inspiration began in May 1829, when the London Philharmonic Society first went to Britain. In July this year, Mendelssohn went to Scotland, and the inspiration for writing this song was born in the ruins of Holyrood Castle in Edinburgh. He once wrote in his letter: "At dusk, we came to Holler Rudeborg, where Queen Mary lived and fell in love. What is worth seeing there is that after climbing the circuitous stairs, you can see a hut. When the tracker climbed the stairs, he found Li Jiao here, dragged him out of the house and killed him at the corner outside three rooms. Everything around you is rotten, and you can still see the blue sky from it. I found the inspiration of the Scottish symphony in this old house today. " Mendelssohn's allusion to the castle is1On the night of March 9, 566, Vito Lygio, an Italian musician who was loved by the Queen and was known as a "diplomatic adviser", was killed by a group of nobles. This work is dedicated to Queen Victoria, the ninth granddaughter of Queen Mary of Scotland, the owner of Fort Hollyrood. 1842 On March 3rd, Mendelssohn conducted the premiere of the Philharmonic Orchestra.

This symphony has four movements:

1. Sonata form, the prelude is Andante for a little faster, in A minor, and the theme is expressed sadly with oboe and viola, just like sighing for the castle. The main part is slightly excited Allegro in A minor, and the first theme is still melancholy and Scottish dance style. After this theme was strengthened, it entered the sub-theme of the wonderful ensemble performance. After the atmosphere changed, the clarinet played the second theme in E minor. After the second theme passes through the first theme, it is easy to advance and end the demonstration. The two themes of the development department changed and developed, and the prototype of the two themes of the replication department reappeared. At the end, the emotion enters the climax first, and the andante melody reappears as a memory after stillness.

2. Allegro, neither too fast nor too lively, in F major, sonata form, with the characteristics of scherzo. Focus on the first theme of Scottish folk dance style, in contrast to the simple second theme. After presenting the part, the unfolding part and the reappearing part are carried out in a regular way, and the theme of dance music style presents a cheerful rhythm.

3. Adagio, a simple sonata form, entered the main part of A major after a short overture in D minor. The first theme is expressed by violin, full of melancholy, while clarinet expresses the second theme in gloomy form. After a very brief introduction by the development department, the first and second themes reappeared in a retrospective way, which seemed to be a review of the scenery and atmosphere around the castle.

4. Allegro, the most lively in minor, sonata form. The first theme was full of passion from the beginning, and the second theme was equally full of energy. The second half of the postscript is a solemn allegro in A major, which is similar to the melody of Scottish folk songs and colorful. This movement is said to be taken from the impression that Edinburgh bagpipes play military music.

Symphony No.4 (Italy)

The fourth symphony "Italy" was composed in1831-kloc-0/833, premiered by the London Philharmonic Society in May 1833, and conducted by Mendelssohn himself. This work was created during his stay in Italy and used some Italian folk materials, so Mendelssohn himself called it "Italian Symphony".

The work includes four movements:

The first movement, Allegro vivacious. Critics believe that the woodwind expression at the beginning is like the bright sunshine in Italy, while the violin is like calling people to explore. As the movement unfolds, people seem to be in this beautiful land of Italy. Mendelssohn is full of confidence in this movement. He said he "felt like a young prince".

The second movement, andante. This movement, also known as "Pilgrimage March", is said to be Mendelssohn's musical thought after seeing religious teams in Naples Street.

The third movement, elegant medium board. This elegant movement is closer to the minuet of18th century.

Fourth movement, Sa Tagliero, Allegro. Tagliero is an ancient Italian dance form, which shows the noisy scene of Roman carnival. At the end of the exercise, the people who had a good time seemed to disperse, but when they were about to disperse, the climax was repeated and the effect was very strong.

Symphony No.5 (Reform)

Mendelssohn's Symphony No.5 in D minor (Reform), Op. 107, was composed in 1830- 1832, and its premiere is scheduled for125 June, 830 to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the reform. The celebration was suspended due to protests from the Catholic Church, and was later postponed to 65438. The Reformation was led by Martin Luther. Martin Luther, a native of Saxony, Germany, is a Catholic priest and a professor at the University of Wittenberg. From 15 17, we severely criticized the illegal enrichment of Catholicism. 15 18, was excommunicated by the Pope for making extreme remarks at the Augustburg conference. 152 1 year, was ordered to attend the national assembly and was questioned by the emperor, but failed to explain. Later, under the protection of the Marquis of Saxony, the German translation of the New Testament was completed in Wadeborg, and the Protestant worship order was announced in 1523, which established Protestantism and formed a state of opposition between old and new Christianity.

This song has four movements:

1. Sonata form, the preface is Andante in D major, and the solemn melody at the beginning is the famous sentence of Dresden Amen. Amen to Dresden is a special "Amen" opened by the court church in Dresden around17th century, which is widely used in hymns sung all over the world. The overture is based on this motive and is full of sacred atmosphere. The main part is Allegro in D minor, which is also the development of overture. Play the first theme vigorously first, and assist the second theme. These two themes unfold in a gorgeous way. The preface fragment appears in the backward copying department, and the two themes are repeated.

2. Allegro vivacious, B flat major, trilogy, rapid scherzo. The brisk theme first moves forward in the form of dancing, and then returns to the theme after a beautiful middle section.

3. Andante, G minor, two-part style, with lyric melody as the center and full of quiet atmosphere. Because this movement is short and uninterrupted with the fourth movement, it can also be regarded as a prelude to the fourth movement.

4. The preface is a smooth andante in G major, which revolves around the melody of "ein' festeburg ist unsergbt" written by Martin Luther for Protestant worship. The main part begins with freestyle, lively Allegro and D major, and turns into solemn Allegro. The solemn first theme is followed by the second theme of fugue, which is very well used in development.
