柴可夫斯基命途多舛音乐天才.docVIP

柴可夫斯基命途多舛音乐天才俄罗斯浪漫乐派作曲家柴可夫斯基（1840-1893）可说是全世界最受欢迎的古典作曲家。他的音乐具有强烈的感染力，充满激情，乐章抒情又华丽，并带有强烈的管弦乐风格。然而这些都反映出作曲家极端情绪化、忧郁敏感的性格特征——会突然萎靡不振，又会突然充满乐观精神。 柴可夫斯基的一生几乎可以用来拍摄一部好莱坞电影——他与导师安东·鲁宾斯坦关系紧张；与崇拜者的一段错误的婚姻令他精神崩溃并试图自杀；他与资助人梅克夫人在13年里只通信而未曾见面……种种经历加上敏感脆弱的性格令他过早地衰老。五十岁的他已经白发苍苍，步履蹒跚。可以说，柴可夫斯基的生活是不快乐的，他的一生深受压抑和神经衰弱的折磨。不过也许正因为如此，他才会将所有的情绪都倾注到音乐当中。 Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky was born to a fairly wealthy middle class family.

Because the minimum acceptance age was 12, he was sent to boarding school. After turning 12, he entered into the senior classes at the school. Apart from singing in choir, he did not seriously study music. It wasn?t until after he graduated in 1859 that he began to study music. In 1862, Tchaikovsky began taking classes with Nikolai Zaremba at the St. Petersburg Conservatory. In 1863, Tchaikovsky quit his job as clerk at the Ministry of Justice. After quitting his job, Tchaikovsky devoted his life to music. Under the mentorship of Anton Rubinstein(director of the conservatory), Tchaikovsky went through the conservatory?s curriculum. Aside from musical studies, he also studied conducting. Tchaikovsky had an immense fear of it and would often hold his chin with his left hand while conducting after once imagining his head falling off his shoulders. Though he was not the best c
