Volta river1874165438+1October 20th-65438+February 8th, written in Prague. It is a work with unique style and novel conception, similar to music and painting. It describes the whole process of two streams starting from Shumawa Mountain, flowing into the Volta River, flowing through forests, fields, canyons and Prague, and finally falling into the Elbe River. It depicts the folk life and myths and legends of people on both sides of the strait. The source of volta river volta river is two streams. In the introduction of music, two different flowing sounds, flute and clarinet, vividly reproduce the gurgling mountain spring at the source of Volta River at dawn. The clear plucking sound of the violin and the clear overtone of the harp appear from time to time, just like the splash splashed by a clear spring, flashing a little Yin Hui. ...

String instruments play a wide range of lyrical basic themes. This theme is full of charming poetry, sometimes with the characteristics of epic singing, expressing the author's infinite love for the Volta River.

The Volta River passes through the dense forest, and the hunter's horn echoes in the forest with bright main colors. This piece of music shows that at noon, the great river is tumbling and running in the ravine of the mountain gate. The Volta River passes through the village, and the lively and cheerful Polka music comes from the shore. It's dusk, and the villagers are holding a wedding with singing and dancing.

The cheerful rhythm gradually disappeared in the distance, the echo of dance music gradually dissipated, and the music gradually weakened. With the gentle ringing of woodwind instruments, night falls slowly. Music is full of mysterious fantasies. The beautiful and ethereal theme is played slowly in the high-pitched area by the silent violin. This is a group of beautiful water fairies dancing in the silver moonlight. Flute and clarinet keep playing flowing patterns, the dim moonlight pours out, and the Volta River flows quietly.

The night will pass, showing that the basic theme of volta river appears at dawn. The music is getting stronger and stronger, the whole band is playing, the brass music is surging, and the woodwind music is sharp and harsh. This paper describes the turbulent rapids formed by rivers in the turbulent beaches and canyons of St. John. The stormy waves violently hit the steep cliffs and made thunderous sounds, which constituted a thrilling picture and reached a dramatic climax.

Finally, the surging river reflected the rising sun and rushed out of the danger, and the scenery suddenly became clear. Volta river has become magnificent and full of vitality. The basic theme of major is played by the band, which is broader, charming and full of joy and strength.

The Volta River passes through the old Visegrad Castle in Prague, and the theme of Visegrad epic in the first symphonic poem rings twice, symbolizing the greatness and glory of the Czech people, and the whole symphony poetry runs through it organically.

Finally, a fluctuating melody is played on the violin, just like the river flowing leisurely to the sky and far away ... It seems that the general's selflessness often makes the dance steps step on the wrong beat, and the whole music is biased, suggesting that the dance steps are like drilling, shaking the ground, and the ending chord is tough and refreshing, which is the general's most emotional sense of humor.
