  音乐历史上的今天

1953年4月17日一个耶路撒冷的狂热分子用一根铁棒袭击了亚沙·海菲兹,伤了他的手臂,因为他在以色列演奏了理查德·施特劳斯的小提琴奏鸣曲,该曲因为施特劳斯与纳粹有过短暂的关系而被禁止在以色列上演。

当1920年海菲茨在伦敦举行首演时,乔治·萧伯纳也在座。在当时的音乐评论中,萧伯纳一直是一位非常敏锐的评判员,他讲的许多预言后来都应验了。他被这位十九岁的年轻人的演奏深深打动,于是就写了一段具有惊人准确性的预言给他:
我亲爱的海菲茨:
你的独奏会使我和我的妻子深感不安。因为在你演奏中的那种超人的完美如果引起上帝嫉妒的话,你会在年轻时就死去。我真诚地建议你在每晚睡觉前,进行一点糟糕的演奏,来代替你的祈祷。凡人是不能演奏得如此完美无缺的。
                                                                                               ——萧伯纳

雅沙·海菲茨1901年出生于立陶宛的维尔纳,父亲是维尔纳交响乐团的小提琴首席。因此他从婴儿时期就对音乐有着敏锐的反应,三岁时父亲给了他一把四分之一尺寸的小提琴,他在一个星期内就能拉了。开始他跟他的父亲上课,但是很快地就超过了他的父亲,于是就进入维尔纳皇家音乐学校。他在还不到五岁时,就在挤满了听众的音乐学校的大厅中开始公演了。一年后他为一千多名听众演奏了门德尔松的小提琴协奏曲。
海菲茨七岁时毕业于音乐学校,并去圣彼得垡演奏给奥尔听。但是他并没确像大家所认为的那样立即被奥尔接受为学生,他必须等到九岁时才能进入奥尔的小提琴班。即使如此,他仍然是进入圣彼得堡音乐学院的年龄最小的学生。
根据海菲茨的看法,“奥尔是一位无与伦比的教师,我认为在这个世界上没有任何一位教师能赶上他。不要问我他是怎样教学的,我不知道如何向你解释,因为他教每位学生都是完全不一样的”。海菲茨作为奥尔的私人学生以及音乐学院的学生师从奥尔学习了大约六年。除了教他演奏奏鸣曲和协奏曲之外,奥尔从来没有教过他练习曲或技术性作品,这位教授还容许海菲茨自己选择曲目。
虽然奥尔的学生们一般都有足够的技术,以便教师能专门从事音乐方面的教学,“然而他也有着解决各种技巧的办法;他对技术的要求也和音乐表现一样严格细致,当必要时他就拿起琴来进行示范”。奥尔的准则看来似乎是这样的,学生表现得越是有兴趣、有能力,他教得也越多。美国小提琴家阿尔伯特·斯帕丁于1913年到俄国进行演出,并且去听奥尔上课,他为我们提供了有关奥尔教学的一些情况。他说“这位十几岁的小奇才把奥尔其他明星式的学生们弄得黯然失色”,他还谈到海菲茨演奏恩斯特这首颇具难度的小提琴协奏曲时的情况:“他以若无其事的神态非常沉着地演奏了开始的那些换指八度。音质结实,流畅圆润,音准纯净。一种内在的美感使人们感受到乐句的起伏。”奥尔在那里紧张地来回走着,不时地看一看斯帕丁的反应。“当这位奇迹般的孩子毫不费力地演奏那些艰难的技巧时,他那浓黑的眼睛里闪烁出愉快的光芒……而且不时地转过身来耸耸他的肩膀,似乎在说,‘还有什么人能像我这样演奏呢?…
当年轻的海菲茨还是音乐学院的学生时,他就在圣彼得堡以及俄国的其他一些城市举行音乐会了。有一次在敖德萨的一场室外音乐会上,两万五千名听众起立向他致敬。在他的足迹迈出俄国之前,有关他的报道已经在整个欧洲流传开了,在尼基什指挥下于柏林首演柴科夫斯基的小提琴协奏曲时,他只有十一岁。尼基什本人是先学习小提琴,尔后才转为指挥的少数指挥家之一,他承认从来没听到过任何人能像这个孩子演奏得那样好。后来海菲茨又在尼基什指挥下在维也纳和莱比锡进行演出,并像暴风雨般地征服了那里的听众。当1913年他在莱比锡的布商大厦演奏布鲁赫《g小调小提琴协奏曲》时,据说除了约阿希姆之外,他是唯一一位在这么小的年龄就担任独奏与这支乐团一起演奏的小提琴家。正是在这次音乐会上克莱斯勒第一次听了他的演奏,并且对津巴利斯特讲了一番具有传奇性的话:“你我都应当把小提琴拿出来在膝盖上砸碎。”
克莱斯勒讲的这番俏皮话并不是完全不着边际的。虽然克莱斯勒本人没有受到什么损失,但是许多已经很有成就的小提琴家被这位新升起来的耀眼明星弄得黯然失色。我们知道库贝利克就是受害者之一。根据弗莱什的看法,在二十世纪初,小提琴家们喜欢模仿库贝利克的方式来演奏快速乐句:清楚,但不必太快。自从海菲茨在舞台上出现后,“年轻的小提琴手疯狂地迷上了魔鬼般的速度,而且都想在这方面打破纪录”。
1914~1918年由于战争爆发,中止了国际上音乐会的演出活动,当谣传俄国革命即将爆发时举办演出活动便更加困难了,因此海菲茨的父亲决定冒着战争年代横跨太平洋的危险,带领他的儿子到美国进行首次演出。在美国的首演是于1917年10月27日在纽约的卡内基音乐厅举行的。海菲茨那时十六岁,有着细长的身材、蓝色的眼睛和整齐的卷发。他不仅以他那辉煌的演奏,而且也用他那冷静的舞台风度震撼了他的听众,其中包括那座城市所有最高阶层的弦乐演奏者。他的演出曲目包括了维尼亚夫斯基的《d小调协奏曲》、帕格尼尼的《第二十四首随想曲》和塔尔蒂尼根据科雷利主题所写的变奏曲。《纽约时报》的评论员说:
从来没有比他更谦逊的演奏者……海菲茨先生演奏出来的声音特别甜美纯净;他的发音既有力量又很圆润流畅……他的运弓有着难得的弹性和活力,他的左手有着许多优点,在演奏各种困难的技巧时绝对准确。

由于海菲茨的名气愈来愈大,他的演出收入急剧增加0。1919年12月他在美国每场场音乐会的收入高达两千两百五十美元,是当时付给古典音乐演奏家的最高酬劳,同年11月克莱斯勒的演出收入只是两千美元,而且已经被人们认为是很高的了。
海菲茨于1920年5月5日在伦敦的女王大厅进行他在英国的首次演出。由于他所录制的唱片所取得的惊人成就(在他踏上这块土地之前,已经有七万张他所制的唱片在英国售出了),音乐会票券在演出之前早就销售一空。《音乐时报》说他是“迄今为止在音乐界所引起的最大轰动”。人们争先恐后地与海菲茨订立演出合约,而且是场场爆满。他在世界各地都取得了同样的成功,他的名字传遍了各大洲。

  Today in the history of music
On April 17, 1953, a Jerusalem fanatic attacked yasha hafez with an iron bar, wounding his arm as he played in Israel Richard strauss's violin sonata, which was banned in Israel because of strauss's brief association with the nazis.
When heifetz made his debut in London in 1920, George Bernard shaw was there.Bernard shaw had always been an astute judge of music criticism at the time, and many of his predictions were later fulfilled.He was so impressed by the 19-year-old's performance that he wrote him a prophecy of astonishing accuracy:
My dear heifetz,
Your recital made me and my wife very uneasy.Because the kind of superhuman perfection that you're playing if it causes god to be jealous, you're going to die young.I sincerely suggest that you play a little bad music every night before you go to bed instead of praying.No mortal could play so perfectly.
                                                                       George Bernard shaw
Yascha heifetz was born in vilna, Lithuania, in 1901, the son of a violin master with the vilna symphony orchestra.When he was three, his father gave him a violin a quarter the size. He could play it in a week.At first he took lessons with his father, but soon overtook him and entered the royal Werner school of music.Before he was five years old, he began his public performance in the hall of a music school packed with audiences.A year later he played Mendelssohn's violin concerto for more than a thousand people.
Heffetz graduated from music school at the age of seven and went to st. Peter's to play for auer.But he was not immediately accepted by auer as a student, as was believed, and he had to wait until he was nine years old to enter auer's violin class.Even so, he was the youngest student to enter the st. Petersburg conservatory.
According to heifetz, "auer is an incomparable teacher, and I don't think any teacher in the world can match him.Don't ask me how he teaches. I don't know how to explain it to you.Heffetz studied with auer for about six years as a private student and a conservatory student.Apart from teaching him to play sonatas and concertos, auer never taught him etudes or technical pieces, and the professor allowed heffetz to choose his own repertoire.
While ORR's students generally have enough skills for a teacher to specialize in music, "he also has a way of solving various skills;He was as meticulous about technique as he was about music, picking up the instrument and demonstrating when necessary.ORR's formula seems to be that the more interested and competent a student is, the more he teaches.The American violinist Albert spradin, who went to Russia in 1913 to perform and attend auer's lectures, gives us some information about auer's teaching."The teenage prodigy," he says, "put auer's other star students in the shade," and he says of the way heffetz played ernst's difficult violin concerto: "he played the first octaves very calmly, with a nonviolent air.Sound strong, smooth and mellow, pure intonation.There is an inner beauty that makes people feel the ups and downs of the phrase."Auer walked nervously back and forth, watching spradin's reaction from time to time."The dark eyes of this miracle boy glowed with pleasure as he effortlessly played the difficult techniques...And from time to time he turned and shrugged his shoulders, as if to say, 'who else can play like me?...
While still a student at the conservatory, young heifetz gave concerts in st. Petersburg and other Russian cities.At an outdoor concert in Odessa, 25,000 people gave him a standing ovation.By the time he left Russia, reports of him had spread throughout Europe, and he was only eleven years old when nikesh performed the first Tchaikovsky violin concerto in Berlin.Nikesh, himself one of the few conductors to learn the violin before moving on to conducting, admits he has never heard anyone play as well as the boy.Later heffetz, under nikesh's direction, performed in Vienna and leipzig and conquered the audience like a storm.When he played bruch's violin concerto in g minor at the buchanan mansion in leipzig in 1913, he was said to be the only violinist other than joachim to play solo with the orchestra at such a young age.It was at this concert that Chrysler heard him play for the first time and told zimbalist the legendary words: "you and I should take our violins out and smash them on our knees."
Chrysler's quip was not entirely far-fetched.Although Chrysler himself suffered little damage, many accomplished violinists were overshadowed by the rising star.We know that kubrick was one of the victims.According to fleisch, in the early 1900s violinists liked to imitate kubellick's way of playing quick phrases: clear, but not too fast.Since heffetz's appearance on stage, "the young violinists were crazy about the devil's speed and wanted to break records for it."
International concerts were suspended in 1914-18 because of the war, and when rumors of an imminent Russian revolution became more difficult, heffetz's father decided to risk the war years by taking his son across the Pacific to make his American debut.The American premiere was on October 27, 1917, at Carnegie Hall in New York.Heffetz was sixteen years old, with a slender build, blue eyes, and neat curly hair.He not only impressed his audience with his brilliant performance, but also with his calm stage presence, which included all the highest class string players in the city.His repertoire included vinyavsky's concerto in d minor, paganini's 24th rhapsody, and tardini's variations on corelli's theme.The New York times critic said:
There has never been a more humble player...Mr. Heffetz's voice was peculiarly sweet and pure;His pronunciation is both powerful and smooth...His bow has a rare elasticity and vitality, his left hand has many advantages, playing all kinds of difficult skills absolutely accurate.
As heffetz's fame grew, his performance income increased sharply.In December 1919 he earned $2, 250 per concert in the United States, the highest amount paid to a classical musician at the time. In November of that year Chrysler's performance was only $2, 000, and was already considered high.
Heffetz made his English debut at the queen's hall in London on May 5, 1920.Thanks to the incredible success of his recordings (70,000 of them had been sold in Britain before he set foot on the land), concert tickets were sold out long before the show.The music times said he was "by far the biggest sensation in the music industry".There was a rush to sign a contract with heifetz, and every show was packed.He achieved the same success all over the world, and his name spread to every continent.

  亚沙·海菲兹(Jascha·Heifetz)      
  亚沙·海菲兹是一位俄裔美国小提琴家。许多人认为他是有史以来最伟大的小提琴家。他出生在维尔纳,十几岁时移居美国,他在卡内基音乐厅的首演受到热烈欢迎。      
  Jascha Heifetz Violinist Jascha Heifetz was a Russian-American violinist. Many consider him the greatest violinist of all time. Born in Vilna, he moved as a teenager to the United States, where his Carnegie Hall debut was rapturously received.      
   
  亚沙·海菲兹(Jascha·Heifetz)和妻子      
  1969年10月31日的《时代》杂志中登载了一篇罗杰·卡恩感人而具有洞察力的文章,他同意萧伯纳的“推测”,认为“为了他的天才付出了他的人生”。海菲茨对小提琴演奏的影响是巨大的。三代小提琴演奏者怀着崇敬的心情低声诵念着海菲茨的名字,海菲茨仍然是他们追求的理想。美国作家、小提琴家亨利·罗斯对海菲茨进行了完美的总结:“如果海菲茨从来没有诞生过,小提琴的演奏水平恐怕就不能达到我们今天这样完美的顶峰,这是他在世界各地的同行们都承认的一个事实!”但是今天这位世界上最著名的小提琴家再也不公开演奏了,他与外界隔绝,孤独地生活在加利福尼亚比弗利山庄一座占地四英亩的装有电动大门的豪华别墅中。

  In a moving and insightful article in the October 31, 1969, issue of time magazine, Roger kahn agreed with shaw's "speculation" that "his life was sacrificed for his genius."Heifetz's influence on violin playing was enormous.Three generations of violinists whispered his name with reverence, and heffits remained their ideal.The American writer and violinist Henry rose summed it up perfectly: "had heffetz never been born, the level of violin performance would not have reached the pinnacle of perfection that we are today, a fact acknowledged by his peers around the world!"But today the world's most famous violinist no longer plays in public, isolated and living alone in a four-acre mansion in Beverly hills, California, with electric doors.
