"比如贝多芬的“英雄交响曲”,原本只是写了个 “no.3"交响曲,是后人硬加了个名字给它。其实,“古典音乐何须 懂”!!!!!!!"
"In 1804, Napoleon crowned himself Emperor of France, and Beethoven, in a tremendous fury, ripped the title page from the score. According to his friend and student Ferdinand Ries, he stormed that now even his hero had become a tyrant, and that he would not dedicate a symphony to such a person. The symphony's new sub-title, "Eroica," implied more of a general heroism than specific deeds, and its inscription, "composed to celebrate the memory of a great man," seems to refer to the earlier Napoleon, the idealistic young hero who now lived only in memory."

简译如下:
1804年,拿破仑自封为法兰西皇帝,贝多芬在狂怒中撕毁了乐谱的标题页,依照它的学生和朋友Ferdinand Ries的叙述,贝多芬当时咆哮,他心目中的英雄已变成了暴君,他不会为这样的人题献曲子了。交响乐的新标题“英雄”,暗指普遍的英雄主义,而非某个特定的人。
