Today, a short message, a video, or a post on social media is enough to expose the long-hidden love life of a public figure.
In European society two hundred years ago, in addition to the short-lived and long-established information among ladies and gentlemen, the more common source of this type of information was from the letters of the protagonist of the scandal.
Beethoven's love letter to "Immortal Beloved" has become a mystery talked about by later generations.
The correspondence between Schumann and his wife Clara and his friend Brahms has become the subject of novels and even Korean dramas.
However, if you want to count the most "long idiotic mood", I believe that the non-Czech composer Yang Najiek is none other than: he is in his sixtieth year, and he meets the 25-year-old confidante Camilla, and has written more than 700 letters. Express admiration.
Although ten years of obsessive love only exchanged a kiss, it has made many representative works of Yang Najieke in his later years.
The composer Yang Najieke puts his admiration for the confidante into his works.
Among the composers, Yang Najieke is an example of a late bloomer.
He was born in the suburbs of Moravia (now eastern Czech Republic), and later lived with his wife and daughter in Brewer.
It was only at the age of fifty that he became famous in China for his opera "Yelufa" and has since become internationally renowned. However, he still lives thrifty and conservative, preferring to walk on foot instead of taking a tram.
Young Najak’s small luxury is occasionally recharging in the famous hot springs in southern Czech Republic.
During the summer vacation of 1917, Yang Najieke met a married young woman, Kamela Stosolova, in a tavern in the town.
The jewish young woman's eyebrows and demeanor reveal the gypsy rashness and style.
Yang Najiek was first attracted by her voice, and he couldn't help writing down the tone of her voice in the diary that she carried.
The young woman and her husband gradually got acquainted with Yang Najieke and his wife, and developed into a relationship that is like a godfather and daughter.
However, Yang Najack privately launched an outrageous pursuit of Camelah.
With two young children, she is regarded by Yang Najak as a model of an ideal wife and the embodiment of the goddess of inspiration.
Yang Najieke’s four operas with female characters in charge in his later years, including "Kata Kabanova", "Cunning Little Fox," "Mark Pross Archives" and "Dead House Notes", are all based on Camella. Create prototypes.
However, these extraordinary works are not as hot and naked as "Diary of the Missing Person".
The protagonist of "Diary of the Missing" finally chose to elope, which is precisely the emotional projection of the composer Yang Najieke.
Yang Najieke started writing in August 1917 and completed "Diary of the Missing Person" in March 1919.
The content of the work tells the story of a rural boy "Yang" who is attracted by the gypsy girl "Zafka" of unknown origin. Under the temptation to escape with each other, the two gave birth to a child.
Yang Najieke makes no secret of the personal projection of the work: the whole work is divided into 22 fragments, and the tenor and the mezzo-soprano perform "Yang/Yangnajiek" and "Zafka/Camera" respectively. Incarnation.
The part where Yang Najieke played in "Zafka" instructed the mezzo-soprano to "float" across the stage calmly, with a little weird behind-the-scenes female chorus, and stage lighting effects, giving people a sense of suspicion and suspicion.
In addition, Yang Najak used a piano solo passage called "Interlude" to explain the plot of the actor and actress "Rolling the Sheets", and its boldness is by no means inferior to the similar scenes in Richard Strauss's "Family Symphony".
In reality, Yang Najieke failed to bear fruit with his confidant, but "The Diary of the Missing Person" fully demonstrated his passion and affection.
When "Diary of the Missing Person" was first released, Yang Najak appointed the publisher to use the image of Camilla as the cover illustration of the sheet music, and regarded it as the crystallization of the "love" of the two.
Ten years later, Yang Najieke’s fame has gained white hair. He lives in the same room with Yuanpei’s wife but has privately agreed to "divorce"; Camella gradually sees the richness of middle-aged women in her looks and figure, and her husband also Often traveling far away from work, it is inevitable to feel lonely as a wife.
Perhaps it was these changes that made Camella acquiesce in the long-awaited "Friday Kiss" at the hot spring meeting in 1927.
In the summer of 1928, Yang Najieke deliberately rebuilt and renovated the villa where he was born, and invited the Camella family to come for a vacation.
Unfortunately, the elderly Yang Najieke got pneumonia when he went out in the rain to search for Camilla's son, and the treatment was ineffective.
Before Yang Najak died, Camilla was always by his side.
At the time of his death, he wrote this sentence in the notes belonging to the two: "It is enough for me to have you sitting next to me. The heavens and the earth are probably no different."
