好友slowghost 关于Keith Jarrett 科隆音乐会的维基百科翻译

维基百科上的一些介绍和描述，有点意思：
Preliminaries to the concert were not auspicious. Jarrett arrived at the opera house late and hungry, and needed to eat a hasty meal before going on stage. Then 17-year-old Vera Brandes introduced herself to the music world as Germany’s youngest concert promoter with Keith Jarrett's "The Köln Concert" on January 24, 1975 as the headlining event. Jarrett had originally selected a Bösendorfer Imperial concert grand, but the stagehands accidentally placed a Bösendorfer baby grand onstage which was designated for rehearsals only. The piano was in poor condition and took 5 hours of tuning. [1] But Jarrett's performance was enthusiastically received, and the subsequent recording was acclaimed by the critics and an enormous commercial success. With sales of more than 3.5 million, it became the best-selling solo album in jazz history.[2]
演唱会前期一切准备工作，并不是那么顺利的。首先 Jarrett 到达科隆歌剧院演出场地的时候，又饿又迟，在很匆忙的状态下吃了一份快餐就上台表演了。然后当时年仅17岁的Vera Brandes以演奏会策划人的身份跳出来，以自己成为世界上最年轻的音乐策划人为噱头，上了当天的报纸头条（而不是科隆音乐会难以磨灭的演出本身）。Jarrett最初的希望的演出场所，也不是科隆歌剧院，而是档次和收音效果更好的 Bosendorfer Imperial Grand，但场地管理员却忙中出错只派了排练场地的档期给Jarrett。最可怜的是，科隆歌剧院当时场地钢琴的条件非常差，相关人员不得不临时花了5个小时来完成调音调试。 但是这一切并不能阻挡一张爵士乐史上完美唱片的诞生。也许是人在逆境中往往更能激发潜能，Jarrett 在演出中迸发了疯狂而完美的灵感，而后期跟进发行的唱片也得到了评论家们齐声的喝彩，并获得了巨大的商业成功。最终，这张唱片以超过350万张的销售量，成为爵士乐历史上销售最多的一张个人独奏唱片。
The recording is in three parts, lasting 26 minutes, 34 minutes and 7 minutes, respectively. As the concert was originally programmed on LP, the second part was split into parts labeled "IIa" and "IIb". Part IIc actually is a 3rd part, the encore.
整张唱片实际分为3小节，第一小节26分钟左右，第二小节34分钟左右，以及最后一节的7分钟。由于唱片最初需要发行在LP上，因为单张LP数据储存量不够的原因，第二小节又被分为两段，标识为 II a 和 II b。现在我们在CD唱片中看到最后一节（CD中第四段），标识为 II c，实际上应为演出中的第三小节，即第二小节演出结束后应观众要求的返场加演片段。
A notable aspect of this concert is Jarrett's ability to produce very extensive improvised material over a vamp of one or two chords for prolonged periods of time. For instance, in Part I, he spends almost 12 minutes vamping over the chords Am7 (A minor 7) to G major, sometimes in a slow, rubato feel, and other times in a bluesy, gospel rock feel. And for about the last 6 minutes of Part I, he vamps over an A major theme. Roughly the first 8 minutes of Part II A is a vamp over a D major groove with a repeated bass vamp in the left hand, and in Part II B, Jarrett improvises over an F# minor vamp for approximately the first 6 minutes.
Jarrett 一项引人注意的能力，在于他能在乐曲中一二个和弦转换之间歇，用若干形式丰富的即兴伴奏来延长演奏的时间。比如，在 Part I 中，在AM7和弦到G大调的转换他用了大概12分钟的即兴伴奏，时而以舒缓的音色随意增减音符奏响的节奏，时候给出布鲁斯和福音摇摆韵味的节奏。而在 Part I 的最后六分钟里，他又即兴的在A大调主音上随意徘徊演奏。在 Part II A 的前8分钟，他又用左手在D大调的范畴内弹奏出连续的低音伴奏，而在Part II B的最初六分钟，音色又换到了F#调上，持续了6分钟的即兴伴奏。
（这段音乐术语太多，翻译怕不是很准。欢迎高手指教）
Since the release of The Köln Concert, Jarrett has been asked by pianists, students, musicologists and others, to publish the music.[citation needed] At first, he resisted such requests since, as he said, the music played was improvised "on a certain night and should go as quickly as it comes."[citation needed] However, this improvisation already existed in recording, and the transcription only represents the music, so he finally came around to publish an authorized edition, but recommended that every pianist who intended to play the concert should use the recording itself as having the final word. A transcription has also been published by Manuel Barrueco for classical guitar.
在科隆演唱会唱片发行之后，众多钢琴家，音乐学院的学生，音乐学者和爱乐之人，纷纷要求 Jarrett 印发出演奏的乐谱。最初，Jarrett 拒绝印发，认为那场演出的音乐，只是在一某个夜晚被即兴演奏出来而已，其影响力应该象其突如其来一样，也转瞬而去。然后，考虑到这次即兴创作已经被发行（以唱片为基础而被永远铭记），而且发行曲谱的话，也仅仅是进一步清楚地描述出音乐的细节而已，所以最终Jarrett还是出版了一份官方版本的乐谱。不过要求每个想要根据乐谱来演奏科隆音乐会中曲子的钢琴家，还是要以实际唱片中录下的现场版本为实际最终的参照。后续还是有一位音乐人Manuel Barrueco 将乐谱转换成古典吉他的乐谱。
