A MUSICAL GENIUS
Everyone knows that Ludwig van Beethoven is a musical genius but few might know how he created Symphony No.9 in D minor① and how its first show went.
Ludwig van Beethoven was a German composer.He is regarded as② one of the greatest composers in the history of music.In his twenties③,he had been very famous for his skills on the piano,but then he began to lose his hearing④.Beethoven thought about giving up,but in the end he continued to write music.Inspired by his struggles⑤ with deafness[1], the composer produced⑥some amazing pieces,including nine symphonies,five piano pieces,and an opera! He proceeded⑦ with the composition until his death in 1827,writing more than 130 musical works,including his Symphony No.9 in D minor [2].

[2]画线部分为动词-ing形式短语作结果状语。
One day in February 1824,at his little house in Vienna,Austria,Ludwig van Beethoven sat back in his chair and smiled.The famous German composer's ninth symphony was finally completed.Writing the piece had taken several years,and now the final notes⑧ had been added to the score⑨.At 54 years of age⑩,he didn't know that this would be his last symphony.As he proudly signed⑪ his name at the bottom of⑫ the page,Beethoven tried to imagine how people would respond⑬when they heard it for the first time⑭.
Before the performance,the backstage⑮atmosphere at a very famous theatre in Vienna was tense⑯ .Beethoven was afraid that the performance would be a disaster⑰ .After all⑱ ,what use is a conductor who could not hear his orchestra—even if he is a musical genius[3]?

[3]“who could ...orchestra”为who引导的定语从句,修饰先行词a conductor;“even if ...genius”为even if引导的让步状语从句。
The audience did not hesitate to⑲applaud loudly as the famous composer walked out onto the stage for the first time in 12 years.The theatre's musical director,Michael Umlauf,joined him and together the two men took charge of⑳ the orchestra.For more than an hour,Beethoven jumped about㉑ in front of the orchestra,waving his arms wildly in the air,and madly turning the pages of his score[4].The whole time,Umlauf stood quietly by his side,skilfully guiding the orchestra through the most amazing piece of music the world had ever known [5].
[4]画线部分为两个并列的动词-ing形式短语作伴随状语。
[5]画线部分在句中作状语,其中“the world had ever known”为省略了that的定语从句,修饰先行词“the most amazing piece of music”。
As the final,joyous㉒ note signalled㉓ the end of the symphony,the audience jumped to their feet㉔, clapping,cheering and waving their hats.But Beethoven continued conducting,his head buried in㉕ the score[6].It was not until Caroline Unger,one of the singers,took his arm and turned him to face the audience that the great man realised his symphony was a success.[7]
[6]画线部分为独立主格结构,此处用作状语,表示伴随。his head和bury之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,所以bury用动词-ed形式。

Later,Caroline remembered that Beethoven was not the only one who got a surprise.“The audience was shocked as well,” she said with a broad smile㉖.“Most of them had no idea㉗ that he was deaf[8]! The one person in the room who didn't hear the symphony—and never would—was the very man who composed it.”[9]

一个音乐天才
大家都知道路德维希·凡·贝多芬是一个音乐天才,但或许很少有人知道《D小调第九交响曲》的创作过程以及这部交响曲首演的故事。
路德维希·凡·贝多芬是德国作曲家。他被认为是音乐史上最伟大的作曲家之一。二十多岁时,他就以高超的钢琴技巧而闻名,但后来开始逐渐失聪。贝多芬想过放弃,但最后还是继续进行音乐创作。这位作曲家从与耳聋的抗争中受到启发,创作出了一些令人惊叹的作品,包括九部交响曲、五首钢琴曲和一部歌剧!直到1827年去世前,贝多芬才停止创作。他一共写了130多部音乐作品,其中包括《D小调第九交响曲》。
1824年2月的一天,在奥地利维也纳的小房子里,路德维希·凡·贝多芬坐在椅子上笑了起来。这位著名的德国作曲家的第九交响曲终于完成了。创作这部交响曲花了他几年的时间,现在乐谱中最后的音符终于写完。这时贝多芬54岁,他并不知道这将是他的最后一部交响曲。他自豪地在页面底部署下名字,同时试着想象人们第一次听到它时会有什么反应。
在维也纳一个非常著名的剧院里,演出前,后台的气氛非常紧张。贝多芬担心这场表演将会是一场灾难。毕竟,一个听不到自己的管弦乐队的指挥,即使他是音乐天才,又能有什么用呢?
当这位著名的作曲家12年来第一次走上舞台时,观众们毫不犹豫地热烈鼓起掌来。剧院音乐指挥迈克尔·奥姆洛夫也走上台和他一起指挥乐队。在一个多小时的时间里,贝多芬在乐队前面跳跃着,在空中忘情地挥舞着手臂,疯狂地翻动乐谱。而奥姆洛夫一直安静地站在他身边,巧妙地指挥管弦乐队演奏这首世界上最令人惊叹的音乐作品。
最后,交响乐在欢快的音符中结束,观众都跳了起来,鼓掌、欢呼,挥舞着他们的帽子。但贝多芬还埋头于乐谱中,继续指挥着。直到其中一位歌手卡洛琳·昂格尔拉着他的手臂转向观众,这位伟人才意识到他的交响乐取得了成功。
后来,卡洛琳回忆到不光贝多芬感到惊讶。“观众也感到震惊,”她灿烂地笑着说,“大多数观众都不知道他已经失聪!剧院里唯一没有听到并且永远也不会听到这部交响乐的那个人竟然是它的创作者。”
