摘要

作曲家尼科·穆利(Nico Muhly)最近在Twitter上发布的一条帖子与“巴赫性”(Bach-ness)这一反复出现的比喻相吻合,巴赫的公众神话形象就是这样定义的。本章着重于巴赫的类似形象,无论是视觉上的还是听觉上的。在大众意识中,巴赫最常被想象为超人、非人、非人性化和崇高的代表,而不是人类。在最近关于巴赫的文章中,人们可以感觉到一种焦虑,即这些特质在我们当前的政治或文化相关性测试中能否继续产生共鸣,以及巴赫的哪些作品最有可能在这个新的后现代媒体世界中茁壮成长。我会怀着忐忑不安的心情大声地问,巴赫的公众神话形象——长期以来沿着现代主义路线固化为百科全书式的数学神秘主义者——是否正在经历一场广泛而渐进的变化;事实上,如果他的音乐需要在21世纪的媒体环境和后现代的听众情感中生存下去的话。

Bach Anxiety
A recent Twitter post by the composer Nico Muhly aligns with a recurring trope of “Bach-ness” that defines Bach’s public mythic profile. This chapter focuses on similar images of Bach, whether visual or aural. Bach has been most commonly imagined in the popular consciousness as representing not the human but the superhuman, the inhuman, the dehumanized, and the sublime. One can sense in recent writings on Bach an anxiety about how well these attributes can continue to resonate in our current moment of political or cultural relevance tests, and about which works by Bach are most likely to thrive in this new postmodern media world. I will wonder aloud, with some trepidation, whether Bach’s public mythic profile, long solidified along Modernist lines as the encyclopedic mathematical mystic, is undergoing a broad, gradual change; indeed, if it needs to in order for his music to survive in a twenty-first-century media environment and amid a postmodern audience sensibility.
