樂曲解說

狂歡節序曲（1891 年）是作曲家三部作品中的第二部，作品理念為“自然、生活和愛”。歌劇精神貫穿於整個民間舞蹈般的能量中。一個簡短稍快的小行板插曲，其特點是廣闊的旋律和英國號的使用，也是德弗札克最喜歡的樂器之一，展現夜間氣息，並扮演一個不尋常的角色中：發出固定的伴奏而不是旋律本身。序曲的結尾與開頭的精神相似，體現了其標題所標示的節日氣氛。

The Carnival Overture (1891) was the second of a group of three works by the composer collectively titled “Nature, Life, and Love.” An operatic spirit informs the overture throughout folk dance-like energy. A brief central Andantino con moto episode of sedate, almost nocturnal character is distinguished by more expansive melodies and the use of the English horn, one of Dvorák’s favorite instruments, in an unusual role: sounding an ostinato accompaniment rather than the melody proper. The overture ends in a spirit similar to that in which it begins, embodying the festal atmosphere suggested by its title. (edition Hafabra Music)
