Within the span of a hundred years, in the venteenth and early eighteenth centuries, a tide of emigration-one the great folk wanderings of history-swept from Europe to America. (46) This movement, driven by powerful and diver motivations, built a nation out of a wilderness and, by its nature, shaped the character and destiny of an uncharted continent.
敏感(47) The United States is the product of two principal forces-the immigration of European peoples with their varied ideas,customs and national characteristics and the impact of a new country which modified the traits. Of necessity, colonial America was a projection of Europe. Across the Atlantic came successive groups of Englishmen, Frenchmen, Germans, Scots, Irishmen, Dutchmen, Swedes, and many others who attempted to transplant their habits and traditions to the new world. (48) But the force of geographic co
nditions peculiar to America, the interplay of the varied national groups upon one another, and the sheer difficulty of maintaining old-world ways in a raw, new continent caud significant changes. The changes were gradual and at first scarcely visible. But the result was a new social pattern which, although it rembled European society in many ways, had a character that was distinctly American.
(49) The first shiploads of immigrants bound for the territory which is now the United States crosd the Atlantic more than a hundred years after the 15th-and-16th- century explorations of North America. In the meantime, thriving Spanish colonies had been established in Mexico, the West Indies, and South America. The travelers to North America came in small, unmercifully overcrowded craft. During their six-to twelve- week voyage, they survived on barely enough food allotted to them. Many of the ships were lost in storms, many pasngers died of dia, and infants rarely survived the journey. Sometimes storms blew the vesls far off their cour, and often calm brought unbearably long delay.
To the anxious travelers the sight of the American shore brought almost inexpressible relief. Said one recorder of events, "The air at twelve leagues' distance smelt as sweet as a new-blown garden." Thecolonists' first glimp of the new land was a sight of den woods.(50)The virgin forest with its richness and variety of trees was a real treasure-hou which extended from Maine all the way down to Georgia.

Music means different things to different people and sometimes even different things to the same person at different moments of his life. It might be poetic, philosophical, nsual, or mathematical, but in any ca it must, in my view, have something to do with t红楼梦故事
he soul of the human being. Hence it is metaphysical; but the means of expression is purely and exclusively physical: sound. I believe it is precily this permanent coexistence of metaphysical message through physical means that is the strength of music.46) It is also the reason why when we try to describe music with words, all we can do is articulate our reactions to it, and not grasp music itlf.
画天安门Beethoven’s importance in music has been principally defined by the revolutionary nature of his compositions. He freed music from hitherto prevailing conventions of harmony and structure. Sometimes I feel in his late works a will to break all signs of continuity. The music is abrupt and emingly disconnected, as in the last piano sonata. In musical expression, he did not feel restrained by the weight of convention. 47) By all accounts he was a freethinking person, and a courageous one, and I find courage an esntial quality for the understanding, let alone the performance, of his works.
