https://bit.ly/4t0NsdA 2025年听音乐会最大的感想， 就是传奇钢琴家Artur Schnabel这段话说得真是太好了。 感谢大师如此承认， 让我醒悟，听音乐会（要获得满意）靠的是机缘，不用刻意去追求（听很多音乐会）。 就算是「大师」，你也不用人云亦云地去做无谓的崇拜，自己内心的感受才是最真实的。 感谢叶绿娜老师去年在脸书分享这段话、这则故事 出自Schnabel的自传My Life and Music, p.214~ p.215 When I played the thirty-two Beethoven sonatas in London, there was a very old g entleman, a great music lover and ama-teur. He had heard me play once before and he bought six of seven tickets, all subscription tickets, for the whole series. Before the concerts, he invited his friends, played and explained the sonatas to them; then he came with them to my concerts. And from concert to concert he became more and more dis-appointed and disillusio ned about my playing. He was near despair. So, after the fifth concert, he wrote a fourteen-page letter to me a moving letter, really-in which he said that if h e had known how I played the sonatas he would certainly not have bought those ti ckets. He practically asked me to return the money to him. Then he went on, singling out to-tain places, writing for instance, Why did you hurry in this measure? A man with your technique!' and blaming me for many other details which were not according to his expecta-tions, until he reached the con clusion: 'If you go on like this, you should stop playing Beethoven altogether. So I sat down and answered the old man. There was not a trace of irony in my let ter. I assured him, for example, that he overrated my technical abilities: if I hurried, it was simply a defect of my technique; I did not want to hurry, regret ted it just as much as he. But then I also wrote, in the course of this letter, that to buy a ticket is no insurance of happiness. The performer only promises t o try his best, but he cannot promise to please the listener. 利用Microsoft Copilot翻译如下： (非逐字逐句直译） 在伦敦，我曾经演奏过三十二首贝多芬的奏鸣曲。那时有一位年事已高的绅士，他是一位热 爱音乐的爱好者，也是业余演奏者。他曾听过我一次演奏，便毫不犹豫地买下了整个系列的 套票——六、七张之多。每逢音乐会之前，他都会邀请朋友到家中，亲自为他们演奏并解说 这些奏鸣曲，然後再带着他们一起来听我的演出。 然而，随着音乐会一场接一场，他对我的演奏却愈加失望，甚至逐渐心灰意冷。到了第五场 之後，他几乎陷入绝望，写了一封长达十四页的信给我——那是一封真挚而动人的信。他在 信中坦言，如果早知道我演奏奏鸣曲的方式，他绝不会买下那些票。他甚至几乎要求我退钱 。信里，他逐一挑出细节，譬如质问我：「为什麽在这个小节里急促？以你这样的技巧！」 并且责备我许多不合他期待的地方。最後，他得出结论：「如果你继续这样下去，你就应该 完全停止演奏贝多芬。」 我静下心来，回覆了这位老人。我的信里没有一丝讽刺。我向他坦承，他高估了我的技术： 若我显得急促，那只是技巧上的缺陷；我并不想如此，我和他一样感到遗憾。但我也在信中 写道，买票并不是幸福的保证。演奏者只能承诺尽力而为，却无法保证能让每一位听众满意 。 --
