【昨日回顾】

Beethoven's habit of increasing the volume with an intense crescendo and then abruptly following it with a sudden soft passage was only rarely used by composers before him.

译文1：贝多芬有一种习惯，就是最大限度地增高音量，然后突然跟上轻柔的乐段。他之前的作曲家很少使用这种方式。

译文2：贝多芬习惯于最大限度增高音量，然后突然跟上轻柔的乐段，在他之前，作曲家很少使用这种方式。

【今日长难句】

Especially significant was his view of freedom, which, for him, was associated with the rights and responsibilities of the individual:he advocated freedom of thought and of personal expression.

【结构解析】

1. 句子主干为“主系表”，即：his view of feedom was especially significant; 因为主语后面的修饰成分较长，因为采用结构倒装来避免头重脚轻。

2. which was associated with the rights and responsibilities of the individual 为定语从句，修饰freedom, 可译为“的”结构。

3. 冒号“:”之后为完整的句子，根据该句含义判断，应为his view of freedom的同位语。

【词的处理】

【参考译文】

【明日长难句】

Beethoven's music tends to move from chaos to order as if order were an imperative of human existence. For him, order does not result from forgetting or ignoring the disorders that plague our existence; order is a necessary development, an improvement that may lead to the Greek ideal of spiritual elevation.
