“维也纳，只有你，你是唯一，维也纳，我的梦中之城……”这首著名的歌曲完美地概括了人们对参观这座音乐之城的渴望，这种渴望很多人都有。对于不少音乐爱好者来说，哪怕只是听到这个城市的名字，耳边都会响起华尔兹的旋律，这其中最出名的一首就是《蓝色多瑙河》，它是由维也纳最受欢迎的音乐之子小约翰·施特劳斯创作的曲子。2时至今日，施特劳斯的这首宏伟巨作成为公认的西方古典音乐杰作。它既是奥地利的一首非正式国歌，也总作为维也纳新年音乐会的压轴结束曲目。世界各地的人，即使对这类音乐风格兴趣不浓，也能立即分辨出它的旋律。然而，很少有人知道这首作品的由来。3

在1865年，维也纳男子合唱团委托施特劳斯写一曲赞美诗，但因为有其他任务在身，他没能开始创作。第二年，奥地利的一次军事失败摧毁了维也纳人的信心，施特劳斯决定完成这项委托，创作一首乐曲，重振人们的精神。施特劳斯出生在维也纳的一个郊区，他也一直深爱着这座城市和这里的河流，多瑙河。因此，他想创作一首音乐作品来表达对它们的依恋，并以一句诗“在那美丽的蓝色多瑙河边”来命名。41867年2月，《蓝色多瑙河》作为带歌词的合唱曲目首次登台。或许是由于其歌词平平无奇，观众并没有对它表现出多大兴致。但当施特劳斯把曲子改编成交响乐版本，并于当年晚些时候在巴黎向世界展演时，这首曲子引起了轰动。5

这首曲子的欢快旋律赢得了公众的青睐，也成就了可能是有史以来最悦耳易记的古典音乐作品。它抓住了维也纳那无忧无虑的特性。自此，《蓝色多瑙河》不仅成为了奥地利音乐史著名的一部分，也成为了维也纳永恒的标志。这首乐曲依然深深地扎根于维也纳人的生活，并且总是出现在维也纳的古典音乐演出中。新年伊始，当午夜的钟声在奥地利首都渐渐消散，人们准备在新年起舞时，《蓝色多瑙河》的音符就会回荡在广场和庭院中。6

然而，《蓝色多瑙河》并非唯一与维也纳有联系的音乐作品。这座城市还有着富饶多产的音乐历史，很少有其他城市能与之媲美。维也纳之所以与古典音乐关系如此密切，得益于它曾是18和19世纪欧洲的音乐中心。那时，许多著名的作曲家和音乐家汇聚在这个城市，建立声望，向其他大师学习。这个时代被称为“维也纳古典主义时期”。除施特劳斯外，贝多芬、莫扎特和海顿也都是当时最负盛名的作曲家。他们在此生活，创作出许多杰出作品，为维也纳古典音乐中心的声誉添砖加瓦。7

我们应该试着了解维也纳起初能成为这样一个古典音乐中心的缘由是什么。其政治影响可能是一个原因，它从1867年起就是奥匈帝国的首都，而在这之前，它是奥地利帝国的首都。维也纳那些见多识广、受过良好教育的观众也可能助推了这座城市的成功，因为当时的贵族宫廷成员将鼓励和支持音乐家视为自己的责任。8

维也纳的社会氛围也对当地的音乐家产生了重要影响。艺术家们常常聚在有情调的咖啡馆里讨论艺术和音乐，例如，作曲家舒伯特就是其中的一员。勃拉姆斯也受到了当地咖啡馆中民间音乐的影响。此外，维也纳独特的地理环境也是这些有创造力的作曲家的灵感来源。这里群山环绕，并有公园点缀，它的自然魅力吸引了许多艺术家。这里的风景引发情感上的共鸣，愈发激励着这些著名的作曲家们创作杰作。9如今，游客可聆听维也纳数百个或传统或现代的音乐场所的任何一场音乐会，欣赏其音乐传奇。每晚，全市多个舞台上都有音乐演出，为听众带来欢愉，令人们重忆古典音乐的辉煌时代。这个文化中心吸引了大批游客，其中不少都是音乐爱好者。对他们来说，多瑙河是一个不容错过的景点，部分原因就在于它和施特劳斯最著名的作品之间那永恒的连接。无论这条河流经多少其他城市，也无须纠结它的河水果真湛蓝与否——在全世界人民的心中，只要那温柔的旋律响起，多瑙河就是维也纳永恒的梦幻之河，闪耀着历史与无限可能。1.CompletethefollowingsentencesaboutwhatViennaisknownforbychoosingthesuitabledescriptionsa–e.GettingtheideaatheDanubeflowsthroughbStrauss’swork“TheBlueDanube”cthemostmusicalofcitiesdJohannStrausstheYoungereofferingalotofconcertsandmusicalperformancesGettingtheidea1
