“維也納，只有你，你是唯一，維也納，我的夢中之城……”這首著名的歌曲完美地概括了人們對參觀這座音樂之城的渴望，這種渴望很多人都有。對于不少音樂愛好者來說，哪怕只是聽到這個城市的名字，耳邊都會響起華爾茲的旋律，這其中最出名的一首就是《藍(lán)色多瑙河》，它是由維也納最受歡迎的音樂之子小約翰·施特勞斯創(chuàng)作的曲子。2時至今日，施特勞斯的這首宏偉巨作成為公認(rèn)的西方古典音樂杰作。它既是奧地利的一首非正式國歌，也總作為維也納新年音樂會的壓軸結(jié)束曲目。世界各地的人，即使對這類音樂風(fēng)格興趣不濃，也能立即分辨出它的旋律。然而，很少有人知道這首作品的由來。3

在1865年，維也納男子合唱團(tuán)委托施特勞斯寫一曲贊美詩，但因為有其他任務(wù)在身，他沒能開始創(chuàng)作。第二年，奧地利的一次軍事失敗摧毀了維也納人的信心，施特勞斯決定完成這項委托，創(chuàng)作一首樂曲，重振人們的精神。施特勞斯出生在維也納的一個郊區(qū)，他也一直深愛著這座城市和這里的河流，多瑙河。因此，他想創(chuàng)作一首音樂作品來表達(dá)對它們的依戀，并以一句詩“在那美麗的藍(lán)色多瑙河邊”來命名。41867年2月，《藍(lán)色多瑙河》作為帶歌詞的合唱曲目首次登臺?；蛟S是由于其歌詞平平無奇，觀眾并沒有對它表現(xiàn)出多大興致。但當(dāng)施特勞斯把曲子改編成交響樂版本，并于當(dāng)年晚些時候在巴黎向世界展演時，這首曲子引起了轟動。5

這首曲子的歡快旋律贏得了公眾的青睞，也成就了可能是有史以來最悅耳易記的古典音樂作品。它抓住了維也納那無憂無慮的特性。自此，《藍(lán)色多瑙河》不僅成為了奧地利音樂史著名的一部分，也成為了維也納永恒的標(biāo)志。這首樂曲依然深深地扎根于維也納人的生活，并且總是出現(xiàn)在維也納的古典音樂演出中。新年伊始，當(dāng)午夜的鐘聲在奧地利首都漸漸消散，人們準(zhǔn)備在新年起舞時，《藍(lán)色多瑙河》的音符就會回蕩在廣場和庭院中。6

然而，《藍(lán)色多瑙河》并非唯一與維也納有聯(lián)系的音樂作品。這座城市還有著富饒多產(chǎn)的音樂歷史，很少有其他城市能與之媲美。維也納之所以與古典音樂關(guān)系如此密切，得益于它曾是18和19世紀(jì)歐洲的音樂中心。那時，許多著名的作曲家和音樂家匯聚在這個城市，建立聲望，向其他大師學(xué)習(xí)。這個時代被稱為“維也納古典主義時期”。除施特勞斯外，貝多芬、莫扎特和海頓也都是當(dāng)時最負(fù)盛名的作曲家。他們在此生活，創(chuàng)作出許多杰出作品，為維也納古典音樂中心的聲譽(yù)添磚加瓦。7

我們應(yīng)該試著了解維也納起初能成為這樣一個古典音樂中心的緣由是什么。其政治影響可能是一個原因，它從1867年起就是奧匈帝國的首都，而在這之前，它是奧地利帝國的首都。維也納那些見多識廣、受過良好教育的觀眾也可能助推了這座城市的成功，因為當(dāng)時的貴族宮廷成員將鼓勵和支持音樂家視為自己的責(zé)任。8

維也納的社會氛圍也對當(dāng)?shù)氐囊魳芳耶a(chǎn)生了重要影響。藝術(shù)家們常常聚在有情調(diào)的咖啡館里討論藝術(shù)和音樂，例如，作曲家舒伯特就是其中的一員。勃拉姆斯也受到了當(dāng)?shù)乜Х瑞^中民間音樂的影響。此外，維也納獨(dú)特的地理環(huán)境也是這些有創(chuàng)造力的作曲家的靈感來源。這里群山環(huán)繞，并有公園點(diǎn)綴，它的自然魅力吸引了許多藝術(shù)家。這里的風(fēng)景引發(fā)情感上的共鳴，愈發(fā)激勵著這些著名的作曲家們創(chuàng)作杰作。9如今，游客可聆聽維也納數(shù)百個或傳統(tǒng)或現(xiàn)代的音樂場所的任何一場音樂會，欣賞其音樂傳奇。每晚，全市多個舞臺上都有音樂演出，為聽眾帶來歡愉，令人們重憶古典音樂的輝煌時代。這個文化中心吸引了大批游客，其中不少都是音樂愛好者。對他們來說，多瑙河是一個不容錯過的景點(diǎn)，部分原因就在于它和施特勞斯最著名的作品之間那永恒的連接。無論這條河流經(jīng)多少其他城市，也無須糾結(jié)它的河水果真湛藍(lán)與否——在全世界人民的心中，只要那溫柔的旋律響起，多瑙河就是維也納永恒的夢幻之河，閃耀著歷史與無限可能。1.CompletethefollowingsentencesaboutwhatViennaisknownforbychoosingthesuitabledescriptionsa–e.GettingtheideaatheDanubeflowsthroughbStrauss’swork“TheBlueDanube”cthemostmusicalofcitiesdJohannStrausstheYoungereofferingalotofconcertsandmusicalperformancesGettingtheidea1
