今天决定发一篇古典音乐推荐的博客，虽然标题写了Vol. 1，但事实上还不知道能不能形成一个系列，希望能慢慢更新下去吧。
我一直很喜欢听音乐。初中「继承」了姐姐淘汰的旧 mp3，后来又得到了一个当时看起来很高端的「mp5」（当时谜一样的起名逻辑，mp3->mp4->mp5……），从此开启了音乐世界的大门。高中拥有了一台 iPod，这也是人生中第一台苹果设备——对于既是「音乐迷」又是「果粉」的我，有着非凡的意义。高中我主要听流行音乐、K-Pop（T-ara！）和摇滚音乐（Beatles！），后来，我的小 iPod 里逐渐装满了 1200 多首歌，组成了高中时代的旋律。
大概是上大学后，我接触到古典音乐。我感觉，古典音乐和流行乐不太一样——不同的人可能喜欢不一样的流行音乐；但不同的人都能欣赏古典音乐。这可能是因为古典音乐优雅、隽永，可以带给人思考和美的感受。这也是为什么我决定写下这些推荐的原因。
因为今天是第一篇，所以就推荐三首我非常喜欢的作品吧。2020年的开端令人沮丧，而这三首作品都满怀积极的情绪，但愿能在这段艰辛的日子里带给你慰藉。
1. 莫扎特「C大调奏鸣曲 K545」
Mozart: Piano Sonata No. 16 in C Major, K545: I. Allegro
B站郎朗演奏视频（强烈推荐！！！）

这部作品是焦元溥老师在其古典音乐入门电台「焦享乐」里面播放的第一首曲子，也是我自己非常喜欢的一首曲子，因此第一个就推荐它了~
” 这首作品是莫扎特晚期1788年写成的，1788年的莫扎特内心阴郁倍感无助，然而这首作品却有着天真无邪的透明乐章，无处不弥漫着纯真的童心，旋律极富歌唱性，优美而细腻，流畅而多变化，是一首甜美优雅的小奏鸣曲，技巧简单，返璞归真，旋律美妙。”
我第一次听就喜欢的不得了。这部作品流畅，欢快，给听者无比纯净的感觉，听完心中充满开朗的情绪。事实上，莫扎特的风格就是这样的，他的作品里永远充满了希望。百听不厌。
2.柴可夫斯基「第一号钢琴协奏曲 Op.23」
Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto No.1 in B Flat Minor, Op. 23:I. Allegro non troppo e molto maestoso
B站郎朗演奏视频（推荐！）

在本科宿舍每次放出来这首曲子的时候，都会有某位舍友跟着一起哼唱hhh。
“《第一钢琴协奏曲》是柴可夫斯基最著名和最具有代表性的钢琴协奏曲之一。这首作品创作于1874至1875年，题献给德国钢琴家兼指挥家汉斯•冯•彪罗。
《第一钢琴协奏曲》情绪开朗、乐观，音乐构思规模宏伟，波澜壮阔，音乐形象的交响性色彩斑斓，绚丽辉煌。这是钢琴协奏曲中最通俗易懂、最受欣赏者喜爱的作品，被认为是19世纪俄罗斯钢琴音乐的顶峰和欧洲音乐艺术最有天才的创作之一。”
这部作品如果用一个词来形容，那就是：气势磅礴。在开始的一长段引子及四小节强奏后，伴随的是小提琴和大提琴温暖的声音以及钢琴洪亮的和弦，俨然一幅宏伟壮观的场景，让人感觉非常畅快。
3. 门德尔松「E小调小提琴协奏曲 Op.64」
Violin Concerto In E Minor, Op.64, MWV O14:1. Allegro molto appassionato
网易云试听链接
门德尔松的作品常被认为是肤浅的，但这部作品却从未得到这样的评价。这部作品与贝多芬的《D大调小提琴协奏曲》、勃拉姆斯的《D大调小提琴协奏曲》并称为”三大小提琴协奏曲”。
” 门德尔松从1838年开始构思这支曲子，一直到1844年才完成，前后历时8年。这部协奏曲在许多方面都进行了创新，门德尔松在许多地方背离了传统的协奏曲，比如乐曲几乎刚开始时他就安排了独奏小提琴出场；传统的协奏曲则是利用乐队开场，然后再让独奏者演奏几乎是相同的内容。虽然作曲家用了8年的时间来创作这部协奏曲，但整个作品却像是一气呵成般的流畅潇洒，体现了门德尔松富于生命力的才华和浪漫主义风格。”
这部作品的旋律并不欢快，但却能够让听者的负面情绪得到很好的释放。这部作品集中体现了门德尔松的创作风格，既有浪漫浓郁的抒情，又有清新明朗的描绘。整首协奏曲直抒胸臆，使人充满力量。

Starting a classical music recommendation series today. “Vol.1” is aspirational — I'm not sure yet whether it'll become a proper series, but I hope to keep going.
I've loved music for as long as I can remember. In middle school I inherited my sister's hand-me-down MP3 player, then graduated to something called an “MP5” (the naming logic of that era: MP3 → MP4 → MP5…). High school brought an iPod — my first Apple device, and a meaningful one for someone who was both a music obsessive and an Apple fan. My listening back then was mostly pop, K-Pop (T-ara!), and rock (the Beatles!). By graduation, that little iPod held over 1,200 songs — the soundtrack of those years.
Classical music came later, sometime in university. What struck me was how different it felt from pop: different people gravitate toward different pop music, but classical seems to reach almost everyone. Maybe because it's elegant and timeless — it invites thought and a quieter kind of pleasure. That's why I want to write about it.
This is the first entry, so I'll keep it to three pieces I genuinely love. The start of 2020 has been rough, and all three of these carry a kind of warmth and forward momentum. I hope they bring you some comfort.
1. Mozart — Piano Sonata No.16 in C Major, K545
Mozart: Piano Sonata No. 16 in C Major, K545: I. Allegro
Lang Lang performance on Bilibili (highly recommended)
Listen on NetEase Music
This was the very first piece played on Jiao Yuanpu's classical music radio program Jiao Xiang Le — a show I'd recommend to anyone curious about classical music. It's also one of my all-time favorites, so it goes first.
Written in 1788, during one of Mozart's most difficult periods — he was struggling financially and emotionally — yet the music is radiant with childlike innocence. The melody sings; it flows and shifts with ease. A sweet, refined little sonata, technically approachable, but melodically perfect.
I loved it from the first listen. There's a purity and brightness to it that fills the room with good feeling when it plays. This is Mozart's essence: his music always carries hope, no matter what he was going through. I never get tired of it.
2. Tchaikovsky — Piano Concerto No.1 in B Flat Minor, Op.23
Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto No.1 in B Flat Minor, Op.23: I. Allegro non troppo e molto maestoso
Lang Lang performance on Bilibili (recommended)
Listen on NetEase Music
My college roommates would inevitably start humming along whenever this came on.
Written between 1874 and 1875 and dedicated to the German pianist-conductor Hans von Bülow, this is Tchaikovsky's most famous piano concerto. It's grand in conception — emotionally bright and optimistic, with a symphonic sweep and brilliance that makes it perhaps the most beloved piano concerto in the repertoire. It's considered the pinnacle of 19th-century Russian piano music and one of the most inspired works in European musical art.
If one word: magnificent. After an extended introduction and four thundering opening chords, warm strings enter alongside the piano's bold harmonies — the musical equivalent of a vast panorama opening before you. It never fails to lift the spirits.
3. Mendelssohn — Violin Concerto in E Minor, Op.64
Violin Concerto In E Minor, Op.64, MWV O14: I. Allegro molto appassionato
Listen on NetEase Music
Mendelssohn's work is often dismissed as shallow, but this concerto has never attracted that criticism. It stands alongside Beethoven's Violin Concerto in D major and Brahms's Violin Concerto in D major as one of the “three great violin concertos.”
Mendelssohn began sketching this piece in 1838 and didn't finish it until 1844 — eight years of work. Yet the result sounds effortless. He broke with convention in several places: most notably, the solo violin enters almost immediately rather than waiting for the orchestra to establish its themes first. The result feels spontaneous and alive, a perfect expression of Mendelssohn's romantic spirit and gift for melody.
The mood isn't exactly cheerful, but it does something better — it gives negative feelings somewhere to go. There's both deep romantic lyricism and a fresh, luminous quality to it. The whole concerto feels direct and heartfelt; it leaves you feeling stronger.
