Symphony No. 9 was Beethoven’s last major piece of music in a vast body of works written throughout his remarkable life. As a gifted child, Beethoven was pushed by his father to study music day and night. Not long after, he began to be appreciated for his piano performances. By the time he was a teenager, he had already enjoyed a reputation as a wonderful young musician.
贝多芬非凡的一生留下了极为丰厚的作品,《第九交响曲》是他最后一部大型作品。贝多芬幼年即展露才华,在父亲敦促下夜以继日地学习音乐。没过多久,他的钢琴演奏已受人赏识。十多岁的时候,他已经是有名的杰出少年音乐家了。

by the time意为“到……时候(为止)”,是一个介词短语,在句中经常起连词作用,引导时间状语从句。用法归纳以下3种情况:
1】如果从句中的谓语动词是一般过去时,那么主句中的谓语动词通常用过去完成时,表示“截止到从句动作发生时,主句动作已经完成,即过去的过去”。
By the time he returned home,the rain (stop).
等他回到家时,雨已经停了。
By the time I received his letter, he (leave)Shanghai.
【2】如果从句中的谓语动词为一般现在时/或现在完成时(表示将来),那么主句中的谓语动词常为将来完成时,表示“截止到将来某一时间为止,主句动作将已经完成”。
By the time I graduate next year, I (live)here for 5 years.
到明年毕业时,我就在这里呆了五年了。
【3】如果主句动作不强调已经完成,只是说明某个时候的状况,(主句是be的系表形式或者是表示像know, find, believe等表示认知的持续性动词,则往往用一般时态,不用完成时态。)此时主句不用完成时,而应根据实际需要选用适当的时态,此时by the time相当于when。

Many important figures in the music world, (include) the brilliant musician Mozart, started making predictions about Beethoven’s extraordinary future. However, life took a sharp turn. In his late twenties, Beethoven suffered one of the worst possible twists for a musician: he started to lose his hearing.
不少音乐领域的重要人物,包括才华卓绝的莫扎特,都纷纷对他不同寻常的前程给出预言。然而,厄运突至,不到三十岁,贝多芬就开始经受对音乐家来说最为残酷的挫折:他的听觉开始衰退了。

how could I possibly admit a weakness in the one sense which should be
more perfect in me than in others, a sense which I once possessed in the greatest perfection …”
听觉下降令贝多芬深感沮丧。他非常难过,一开始,他想保守秘密。 他在给弟弟的信中说: ....这样一种在我身上本应比别人更加完美的感官,这样一种我曾拥有最完美的感官,如今怎能让我承认它有了缺陷....

When composing music at the piano, he would put one end of a pencil in his mouth and place the other end against the instrument so that he could feel the notes.Although Beethoven was able to continue composing music, it became increasingly difficult for him to perform in public. When Beethoven presented Symphony No. 9 in Vienna in 1824, it was his first time on stage in over ten years.
在钢琴上作曲时,他将铅笔的一端含在嘴里,另一端顶住钢琴,这样就能感受到音符。作曲还可以继续,但公开演出对于他而言越来越艰难了。1824 年在维也纳指挥这场《第九交响曲》,是他十多年来第一次登台。

Since that day, Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 has become one of the most famous and treasured pieces in the history of classical music.The first movement starts quietly, but all of a sudden the whole orchestra breaks into
Beethoven understood well because of his hearing difficulties—coursing through the music.
从此,贝多芬《第九交响曲》成为古典音乐史上最著名和最受珍视的作品之一。交响曲第一章先是在平静中开始,随后,乐队全体猛然奏出一个强烈的主题。你顿时会感到贯穿整部作品的那种坚毅,那种深受听障之苦的贝多芬所熟知的品质。

接下来的两个乐章,充满了绝望的低声部和激越的高声部,或许分别反映了作曲家的痛苦和与之抗争的坚强意志。即使技术难度很高的段落,音乐也都从容流过,展现了他作为作曲家的才华。最后,在第四乐章中,他将一系列形态各异的变奏整合为一首欢乐的合唱。

As Beethoven’s last great work, his Symphony No. 9 was also a grand finale to his life—he died less than three years after the concert in Vienna, aged 56. For his amazing achievements and for his determination even in his darkest days, Beethoven is regarded as one of the most remarkable musicians who ever lived.
《第九交响曲》是贝多芬最后一部伟大的作品, 也是他的人生绝唱——距这场维也纳音乐会举办未满三年,他就去世了,终年五十六岁。因为他惊人的艺术成就,以及在至暗岁月里都不曾动摇的顽强毅力,他被公认为有史以来最卓越的音乐家之一。
