爱因斯坦酷爱演奏小提琴,小提琴总是形影不离地伴随着他。他喜爱十八世纪音乐家的作品,他热爱巴赫和莫扎特的音乐,对贝多芬则有点敬而远之。对这些大音乐家之后的作曲家,他的兴趣就不大了。爱因斯坦成名之后,人们对他生活中的每一个细节都发生了浓厚的兴趣,这种兴趣经常缠得他很不耐烦。因此,1928年德国一家《星期画刊》给爱因斯坦寄来一份关于巴赫的问题表请他答复时,爱因斯坦未予置理,这就不足为怪了。杂志编辑等了一段时间未见回音,就再次写信给爱因斯坦。爱因斯坦这次收到信后立即写了这样一封不客气的回信: 对巴赫毕生所从事的工作我只有这些可以奉告:聆听,演奏,热爱,尊敬——并且闭上你的嘴。
Einstein is fond of playing the violin, and the violin is always accompanied by him inseparably. He loved the works of 18th-century musicians, and he loved Bach and Mozart’s music, a bit too far for Beethoven. He is not much interested in composers behind these big musicians. After Einstein became famous, people took a deep interest in every detail of his life, and his interest was often impatient with him. It is not surprising, therefore, that Einstein had no reason to ask him to reply in 1928 when a German Weekly Pictorial sent Einstein a list of Bach’s questions. Magazine editor waited for a period of time without echo, once again wrote to Einstein. Immediately after receiving this letter, Einstein wrote an insulting reply: Only the work I can do with Bach can tell: listening, playing, loving, respecting - and closing your mouth.
