在空中

捷克詩人 Jan Neruda (1834-1891) 這樣描述過 Antonin Dvorak:


...I imagine him a real musician.
That is "a poet of the air" as they call musicians
who care not a fig about what is going on down here on the earth
far beneath them. A creature who is mightily indifferent as to whether
a heller and a groschen are all that he has left in his pocket.
A young man with the confused brain which is attributed to every poet,
to every painter and most of all to the musical tribe all the world over.




音樂是不是應該導向聰明才智, 音樂是才華嗎?
















看到 Ozawa 指揮, 他那一頭亂髮有如雄獅, 總是引人注意,
有一天發現 1963 年的 Ozawa, 溫文儒雅, 有點驚豔







4:36 發問的人問 Ozawa "Are you ever off the ground?"
引起大笑, 我也笑了
問者無心, 我聽起來卻聯想到 "不切實際", a poet of the air
