美国作曲家乔治·格什温的第一部交响乐作品是《蓝色狂想曲》,它的诞生是富于戏剧性的。当时美国最著名的斯坎德爵士乐团指挥请他写一部“庄重的作品”,但格什温承认自己对交响乐一窍不通,始终不能成命。指挥先生无奈之中想出了一条妙计,他在报上抢先刊登了一则广告,说三周后在音乐厅上演格什温的交响乐新作。格什温骑虎难下,只好硬着头皮埋头苦干了两个星期才完成任务。谁知首场演出竟大获成功,并以此奠定了他音乐家的地位。 The first symphony by George Gershwin, a composer in the United States, is “Blue Rhapsody”, whose birth was dramatic. At that time, the most famous American Squad Orchestra conductor asked him to write a “solemn work”, but Gershwin acknowledged that he did not know anything about the symphony and could not survive. Commander in desperation to come up with a coup, he was the first to publish an advertisement in the newspaper, said three weeks later at the Concert Hall, Gershwin’s new symphony. Gershwin riding a tiger difficult, had to bite the bullet and hard work for two weeks to complete the task. Who knows the first show was a great success, and thus laid him a musician status.
