看了中央音乐学院学报1988年第二期发表的蒋一民先生的文章《音乐史学的美学化》,我不胜惊讶。文章介绍的达尔豪斯的《音乐史的基础》一书,竟与我手中的该书英译本大相庭径。 由于见不到德文原版著作,我不敢贸然断定究竟是蒋一民先生弄错了,还是英译者翻错了,只能把两者之间有明显出入的地方摘抄在此,供读者鉴别。 I was surprised to read the article entitled “Aestheticization of Music History” published by Mr. Jiang Yimin in the second issue of the Central Conservatory of Music in 1988. The article’s introduction to Dalhousie’s book, The Foundations of Musical History, is quite different from the English translation of my book. Since I can not see the original German book, I am not willing to determine whether it is Mr. Jiang Yimin mistaken, or English translator was wrong, only the obvious difference between the two excerpts here, for readers to identify.
