橫眉冷對千夫所指的孤獨主流反叛者 舊制新樂的完美結合╳齊名貝多芬的浪漫主義泰斗 純音樂的捍衛者──最偉大的象徵本該純粹 當樂壇領袖相繼將音樂的觸角伸到文學、哲學等其他領域，試圖創造出包羅萬象的藝術，布拉姆斯卻挺身而出捍衛古典純音樂的內容與曲式傳統，破除駁雜又表面的形式，專注讓音樂煥發出純粹的美好與光輝。 ▎《德意志安魂曲》 （A German Requiem, to Words of the Holy Scriptures, Op. 45） ──為母而生，悲美的祭奠，奠定曲壇地位之作 故鄉最讓他牽掛的溫暖港灣，他的母親，逝世了。 不忍放下失去溫度的手，滿腔的悲痛化為音符，催生了傳世名作《德意志安魂曲》以悲壯的失落、光輝的安慰與充滿力量的堅定精神讓觀眾留下了深刻印象。親情的高貴與壯美充斥樂句間，更充滿了對生命的禮讚。 是年，布拉姆斯35歲，是鷂鷹開始高飛之年。 ▎《匈牙利舞曲》（Ungarische Tänze） ──與異域相遇，迸發音樂活力熱情，音樂更應面向生活 春訪布達佩斯，這座「多瑙河明珠」亦將光芒投射至藝術家敏感的心靈。布拉姆斯在此見識了真正的吉普賽音樂，感動與驚奇亦在他的心上筆下凝結成珍珠，巡演大獲成功。其中最知名的是〈f♯小調匈牙利舞曲第5號〉（管弦樂版是g小調）但這是以貝拉‧克勒的查爾達什〈Bártfai emlék〉為基礎創作的，而勃拉姆斯誤將其當成了一首傳統民歌。 ▎《c小調第一交響曲》（Symphony No. 1 in C minor, Op. 68） ──21年苦心創作，走出貝多芬陰影，邁向浪漫主義的輝煌 布拉姆斯一直因音樂理念而活在貝多芬（Ludwig van Beethoven）的陰影下。醞釀了21年，《c小調第一交響曲》是他對貝多芬的致敬與挑戰。 共有四個樂章：第一樂章矛盾與掙扎、第二樂章悲痛與幻想、第三樂章期待與嚮往與終章歡呼與讚頌。這首曲子是布拉姆斯的理想探求與擺脫痛苦、走向光明的信念，也突顯出貝多芬式「通向鬥爭走向勝利」的英雄性構思對他的深刻影響。 這首曲子從音樂形象、風格特點、結構原則與樂曲內涵等方面，都十分接近貝多芬的古典主義交響樂。然而，其中強大的情感敘述與熾烈的熱情，又與浪漫主義精神相關，並帶有布拉姆斯式的克制。布拉姆斯成功調和了舊曲制與新時代的音樂風格，成為布拉姆斯在曲壇不可撼動的經典。 ★本書特色：本書以生動且故事性強的
