Introduction to Mahler's Fifth Symphony
Third Scherzo (strong and powerful, not too fast)The third movement begins with serenity and even joy. It seems to be a pure land entering the heart, showing a world that exists only in dreams, but the mood of the author is not easy. This movement represents the sublimation of the heart, hoping to find a forever peaceful destination. But while the movement was full of beautiful waltzes and clear night skies, there were still quiet thoughts and the clarion call of distant battle. Finally, the author does not mind home found here, sometimes played woodwind slightly sad melody. Finally, the deafening March became the end of the movement.
The Fourth Movement: Adagio (slow)The fourth movement is for strings and Harp small adagio, this is the most famous Mahler symphony, a lot of people are listening to this music by Gustav Mahler know such a composer. The 1971 Italy film master Weiss lucchino Visconti with the music as the movie "death in Venice" soundtrack, further increased its popularity. This movement is the most important movement of the whole song. Apart from its graceful melody, the author's struggle or thought in the preceding three movements is for the peace and ease of happiness in this movement. He has found his soul, and that is love. Indeed, the love was full of the movement, and the other tensions and tensions were pulled aside. There was no tension, rage, or uneasiness in the whole movement; there was only a whisper of love, a great joy, a tearful effect. This is indeed a "love letter", each page is intoxicating, despite the low but not low, heavy feeling broad, endless vitality, at the end of the subtle and shine. Many people think that this movement is not what the actual significance, even some people think that this movement only in structure play a role in the intermezzo. But without this movement, the agony of the first two movements, the struggle of the mind, and the reflections in the third movement have no meaning, and there is no reason for the jubilation of the final movement.
The second movement is stormy and more intenseThe beginning of the second movement is the painful tearing of the heart, the accompaniment of brass pipes and percussion instruments, and the plaintive moaning of strings. It sounded like a vent to the composer at first. But the music soon became calm and the mood was the same. Cello gentle melodies with woodwind accompaniment told us he went into meditation. A drum went up again, and the pain seemed to take hold, and soon calmed down and replaced the meditative melody with tenderness. Thus, the alternation of meditation and pain played well, and the struggle of thought began in the composer's mind. Suddenly, the trumpet ensemble, the sublimation of the soul to do? As the conductor stamped his foot, the painful melody returned to the hearer's ear, and the struggle continued. At last a holy chant came, and the brass pipe told the listeners with a bright smile that his heart was winning. But the pain continued to harass, and the struggle continued. Until the last entered a quiet, as if such a struggle over the soul sleeps terribly fatigued. The second movement ended in three sleepy notes.
