| 解説 | 《輸入楽譜》Although it has a four movement formal structure like the German symphonies， Borodin’s Second Symphony is purely Russian. No listener can fail to identify its nationality as Russian - for all purposes it defines the dark， brooding character associated with the national musical culture. The first movement opens with a vigorous unison in the strings， reinforced by bassoons and horns， the theme forming the foundation of the whole movement. The second movement， a brilliant allegro， drives ahead irresistibly and forcefully from start to finish. Like the first movement， the third is built around a single theme - a long， haunting melody stated by solo horn. The third leads directly into the fourth movement， the opening theme being announced by full orchestra. Even though his four-hand arrangement was published in 1877， Borodin held off publishing the orchestral score until he finished incorporating a number of additional technical improvements to the orchestration that had been recommended by Rimsky-Korsakov after the 1879 performance. Upon the composer’s death， the full score and parts remained unpublished in an early proof stage. Rimsky-Korsakov and Glazunov completed the proofreading before publication later that year (1887). Instrumentation in set: 3(3dPicc).2(2dEH).2.2: 4.2.3.1: Timp.Perc(4): Hp: Str(9.8.7.6.5). |
