Symphony # 6, Shepherd's Theme

贝多芬第六交响曲牧羊人主题

Years later, living in Vienna, I found this note amongmy papers:

多年以后，在维也纳生活时，我在自己的文件中找到了这张字条：

Uncle, last night when I heard that Mr. Beethovenhad died.

舅舅，昨晚我听说贝多芬先生去世了。

I went down by the river and thought about the time he lived upstairs.

我来到河边，回想起他住在楼上的时光。

Mr. Beethoven wanted to change the world.

贝多芬先生想改变这个世界。

Maybe he will do it ... bit by bit.

也许他将要做到了......一点一点的。
