肖邦

Even in this abstract atomic age, where emotion is not fashionable, Chopin endures.

即使是在这个情绪已不再流行的抽象的原子时代，肖邦还是存活了。

Although he won First Prizes at the 1966 Busoni Competition in Italy and 1968 Montréal Piano Competition, it was his 1970 triumph at the Chopin Competition in Warsaw, where he won the Gold Medal, that brought him worldwide recognition as one of the finest pianists of his generation. Mr. Ohlsson was awarded the Avery Fisher Prize in 1994 and received the 1998 University Musical Society Distinguished Artist Award in Ann Arbor, Mich.

尽管他在1966年的意大利布索尼钢琴大赛、1968年的蒙特利尔钢琴大赛中纷纷折桂，但令奥尔森声名大噪的还是在1970年肖邦国际钢琴大赛中夺得的金奖，并因此被外界一致公认为是他那一代人中的钢琴翘楚。1994年，奥尔森被授予埃弗里·费舍尔奖。1998年，他在密歇根大学的安阿伯分校被授予杰出艺术家奖。

By the time he wrote that, Chopin had been living in France for nearly half his life, and with music like that he breathed new life into the French keyboard tradition, which had been in decline since the deaths of the two great Baroque pioneers Couperin and Rameau.

，肖邦已经在法国生活了半辈子，而且那样的音乐，使自从两位伟大的巴洛克先锋库普兰和拉摩去世后开始衰落的法兰西的键盘传统融入到他的新生活中了。

The technique task takes the method of comparison, the comparison between the etude of Czerny and of Chopin.

关于前者主要是采取比较的方法，分别与车尔尼与肖邦的练习曲进行对照，找出其异同，揭示德彪西《钢琴练习曲》第一集中技术课题的表现方法及训练手段，并以此为基础来说明这部作品作为教材在实际教学过程中的地位和作用；关于后者是以音乐语言的特点和表现手段为基础，从术语、踏板及技术课题三个角度，间接或直接的来表现德彪西钢琴音乐色彩性的目的。

But incompetent interpreters tend to play early Scriabin as they play Chopin.

然而蹩脚的演奏家们常常喜欢把早期斯克利亚宾演奏成肖邦。

Comparing with Chopin"s three sonata work, the earlier work of Scriabin"s sonata of piano have already surpassed in the rhythm and bar.

与肖邦的三首奏鸣曲作品相比，斯克里亚宾早期奏鸣曲在节拍节奏方面的探索已青出于蓝。

"I admire people who just play great Chopin or great Schubert," he says, but that's not me.

&我羡慕那些就是能够弹奏非常出色的肖邦或者非常出色的舒伯特的人，&他说，但我不是那样的人。

Both Scarlatti and Chopin were inspired by cats.

斯卡拉蒂和肖邦都受到过猫的启示。

He was introduced to some of the foremost pianists of the day, including Friedrich Kalkbrenner, Ferdinand Hiller and Franz Liszt, and he formed personal friendships with composers Hector Berlioz, Felix Mendelssohn, Charles-Valentin Alkan and Vincenzo Bellini (beside whom he is buried at the Père Lachaise Cemetery).

他被介绍给当时最重要的钢琴家，包括Friedrich Kalkbrenner、Ferdinand Hiller以及弗朗兹李斯特，他与作曲家埃克托尔柏辽兹、费利克斯门德尔松、阿尔堪、以及贝里尼（在拉雪兹神父公墓，肖邦葬在他的旁边）都是好朋友。

Bookstores will feature his new, as-told-to autobiography,"Journey of a Thousand Miles," and record stores will display his recordings of Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, and Chopin, along with his best-selling album,"Dragon Songs," a compilation of new and traditional Chinese music. Theatres will soon screen "Lang Lang's Song for 2008," an adoring documentary about his life.

同时，书店将会出售他的最新的自传《千里之行》；音像店则会出售由他演奏的柴科夫斯基，拉赫曼尼诺夫以及肖邦等人作品的唱片集，当然还少不了《黄河之子》这张将中国的传统与现代音乐巧妙的融合在一起的最畅销的唱片；影院也将在近期上演记录他人生经历的纪录片《郎朗的歌，献给2008》。

The split between the two groups can hardly be papered over.

这两个团体间的分歧难以掩饰。

This approach not only encourages a greater number of responses, but minimizes the likelihood of stale groupthink.

这种做法不仅鼓励了更多的反应，而且减少跟风的可能性。
