1930年,匈牙利作曲家Rezso Seress写出一首动人而魔幻的乐曲《忧郁星期天》。在纳粹当道的二次大战期间,世局动荡,人心惶惶,许多人听了这首凄美乐曲之后,纷纷动了轻生念头,同时选择在星期日自杀。这股自杀风潮,从匈牙利开始,逐渐蔓延至欧洲和大西洋彼岸,成了著名的自杀圣乐。尼克·巴科夫以这首《忧郁星期天》为创作灵感,撰写成一部小说《布达佩斯之恋》,布达佩斯因此而变得举世闻名。 In 1930, the Hungarian composer Rezso Seress wrote a touching and magical piece “Sunday of Depression.” During the Nazi reign of World War II, the world was in turmoil and pandemonium. After listening to this poignant and beautiful piece, many people began to commit suicide and chose to commit suicide on Sunday. This suicidal wave, from Hungary, gradually spread to Europe and the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, became the famous suicide music. With this Sunday’s melancholy, Nick Bakoff was inspired to write a novel Love of Budapest, which became world-famous for that reason.
