Glenn Gould Edition - Bach: French Suites, Overture
Douban
visão geral
组曲，是将可以独立又互有联系的几首乐曲组合为一个整体。那时的组曲通常由四种舞曲组成：
（1）阿列曼德舞曲，4/4拍子，多为沉稳的情绪。
（2）库兰特舞曲，活泼的3/4拍子。
（3）萨拉班德舞曲，也是3/4拍，但缓慢、凝重，常有悲哀的意味。
（4）吉格舞曲，是非常快的三拍子。除这四个基本部分外，还可加入加伏特舞曲（中速，4/4）、小步舞曲（典雅的3/4拍）、布列舞曲（快速的四拍子，总是从弱拍开始）。这些不同的节拍、速度、性格互为对比，但各组内的各曲，调性都是一致的。例如第一首是E大调，所有各曲则都用E大调。至于《法国组曲》为什么叫“法国”？据说是因为组合方式、音乐风格都有法国风格的影响。但本质上，还是德国音乐。凡是学过一段钢琴的，都弹过我们通常称为“小巴赫”的那本书，那里有几首就是选自《法国组曲》的，如第23首：这是第五首G大调《法国组曲》中的第4曲，《加伏特舞曲》。明快、优美而又典雅。乐曲综合了复调与和声两种手法。再如第24首《小步舞曲》，是第六首《法国组曲》中的第7曲。
这套法国组曲是巴赫为第二任妻子安娜而写，充满了温柔和甜蜜。这套法国组曲中，第四号是最意境美丽的，第五号是最脍炙人口的，第六号是最欢快的。以下是我从美丽元素中找到的一篇乐评，虽然我对其观点有保留，但觉得有助于欣赏这部作品。所以转过来：听Gould先生的“法国组曲”仿佛又一次体验了那时的生活，每次听的时候，他那清新而自由的风格都深沉地打动了我。我最喜欢的是第六首组曲，但放下我的喜好不提，大家都知道他是一个非常有才华的艺术家，非常的真诚，深深地了解自己在演奏什么，必须演奏到什么样的水平。他对巴赫作品的深切了解和掌握使得他在演奏时深深的溶入其中，这是你在其他人的演奏中很难找到的。Gould先生演奏的巴赫超过了所有的人，他的演奏随着旋律起伏，而旋律又随着乐章起伏，这就是为什么巴赫的作品在Gould先生手下显得那么自然，那么富有诗意。你可能会被被这些组曲不同的演奏方式所吸引，浪漫的、激情的、解析的，但Gould先生的演奏则会让你回味无穷……
