特别广播英语第 143 课：Different Types of Composers 不同类型的音乐家-1

I can see three different types of composers in musical history, each of whom creates music in a somewhat different fashion. 我发现音乐史上有三种不同类型的作曲家，他们各自创作的方式有不同。

The type that has fired public imagination most is that of the spontaneously inspired composer - the Franz Schubert type, in other words. 最能激发公众想象力的是自发式灵感型即弗朗兹·舒伯特型。

All composers are inspired, of course, but this type is more spontaneously inspired. 当然所有的作曲家都需要灵感，但这一类型的更具自发的灵感，

Music simply wells out of him. He can't get it down on paper fast enough. You can almost tell this type of composer by his fruitful output.音乐简直就是喷涌而出，多得来不及记录，通过他们多产的作品你几乎可以一下就认出他们。

In certain months, Schubert wrote a song a day. Hugo Wolf did the same. 有几个月舒伯特几乎谱成一曲，伍尔夫·雨果也是如此。

In a sense, men of this kind begin not so much with a musical theme as with a completed composition. 从一定意义上说，这类作曲家不是从一个主题开始而是从一部完整的作品一气呵成。

They invariably work best in the shorter forms. It is much easier to improvise a song than it is to improvise a symphony. 他们总是擅长短形式的作品。即兴创作一支歌曲比即兴创作一部交响曲要简单得多。

It isn't easy to be inspired in that spontaneous way for long periods at a stretch. Even Schubert was more successful in handling the shorter forms of music. 要长时间连续不断的获得自发的灵感不容易，就是舒伯特也是短形式的音乐方面更为成功。

The spontaneously inspired man is only one type of composer, with this own limitations. 自发式灵感型人只是作曲家的一种，他有他自己的局限。
