Liszt - Pagnini Etude No. 3 (La Campanella) Evgeny Kissin
It is the third etude of Paganini by Liszt
But you asked about the naming Principle
This issue is divided into many situations, and each period in classical music has different naming rules. Mainly depends on whether it is title music.
Most of the music in the Middle Ages was religious music, such as Gregorian chant, which was a collection of chants collected and compiled by Pope Gregory I.
His Naming, specifically each song in it, should be named according to the key of the work number. There is no specific information on this, and I'm not sure.
Most of the music in the Baroque and Classical periods are named according to tonality + instrument + genre. This is especially reflected in Bach's works.
Because his works Rigorous, so later generations generally use the original title. But why do we now see so much music having "names" that predated the Romantic period? Most of these are common names given by later generations, or named according to the specific creative background of the work.
For example, the six concertos Bach composed for the Margrave of Brandenburg are called the "Brandenburg Concertos". In the first four of Vivaldi's "Twelve Violin Concertos", the composer marked the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter in front of each piece of music, so It was logically named "Four Seasons". Among Beethoven's nine symphonies, the familiar "Eroica", "Destiny", "Pastoral" and "Chorus" are actually Symphonies No. 3, 5, 6 and 9. Why do these works have names? "Symphony No. 3 in E flat major" was originally written by Beethoven on the manuscript
as a dedication to Napoleon. Later, Napoleon became emperor, so Beethoven tore it up. All the original inscriptions were rewritten as "dedicated to a great hero", hence the name "Hero". "Fifth Symphony" has four powerful notes in the theme. His disciple Schindler said, "It's like fate knocking on the door." This is why it was named so later. reason. "The Sixth Symphony" is quite special
It is the only work with a clear title among Beethoven's works. This is understandable. His creations in his later years basically played a role in classicism
And the role of romanticism in connecting the past and the future. There is also Haydn. His symphonies are actually based on work numbers, but because of his many good stories, they have been given "aliases" by everyone, such as "Astonishment", "Miracle" and so on.
But none of the above are title music.
Title music refers to instrumental music that uses words or titles to clarify the ideological content of the work. It was Berliault who put him on the stage. Hereby.
The naming of the title music is easier to understand. In the later Impressionist period, for example, Debussy's "Moonlight" was written based on the poet Verlaine
's poem.
In addition, transfer a professional naming rule.
1. Genre + lead instrument + tonality, mostly used in concerto and sonata, such as concerto for
piano in E-flat major (Piano Concerto in E-flat major) Sometimes it may be written as piano concerto. One thing to note: Concerto is Italian, and the plural is concertti. Each movement in it has many movements
It is represented by beat symbols and is attached below.
2. Conventional title + genre, mostly used for some well-known works or works whose names were unclear at the time of creation and later generations
named them, or waltzes.
Such as Bach's Brandenburg Concerto,
Englishi/French Suite (English/French Suite), Goldburg Variation, Mozart's Jupiter Symphony (Celestial Symphony), Strauss's Emperor Waltz (Emperor Waltz
Emperor Waltz).
3. Use international numbers, which are mostly used by master composers with rich works. For example, Bach uses BWV, Vivaldi uses
RV, and Mozart uses K. Sometimes you can also use No for a certain genre of someone. or Op. Numbers, such as Mozart's
Piano Concerto No. 21 (Piano Concerto No. 21).
4. Use the name of the composer’s collection of works, such as Bach’s Musical Offering, Art of Fugue, The Well-Tempered Clavier (Well-Tempered Clavier Collection).
5. Celebration music composed according to the occasion, such as Handel's Water Music, Royal Fireworks
Music (Royal Fireworks), etc.
6. Operas, ballets, songs, etc. mostly use names that indicate the plot or lyric content, such as Mendelssohn's A Midsummer Night's Dream (opera Midsummer Night's Dream) , spring song (wordless song "Spring Song"), the famous opera music is mostly selected from the overture overture, such as Rossini's William Tell-
overture (William Tell-overture) Overture), or an aria such as Rossini's Figaro's Aira (Figaro's Aria
from The Barber of Seville). The overture to early operas and oratorios was called sinfonia.
