If one chord holds twice as long or only half as long, then we have an irregular harmonic change--irregular rate of harmonic change.

如果某一个和弦持续的时间是其他和弦的两倍或者只有一半，这就是不规则的和声改变。

The rate of harmonic change has slowed down considerably here.

I want to make one other point before we launch into that, and that is the following: that composers use the rate of harmonic change-- whether it's changing or not changing-- to sort of make us feel different ways about the music that we are listening to.

在此之前我还要说一个问题，不管和声有没有改变，作曲家都能通过和声改变的频率-,让我们对所听的音乐有不同的感受-,它能让我们感受到这段音乐。

So here in the G Minor Symphony we feel as--oh, it's so full of tension, angst,anxiety, perhaps passion, it's driving somewhere, and one of the things that's driving it is its accelerating rate of harmonic change.

在G小调交响曲里我们能感觉到，哦，音乐中充满了紧张，揪心，焦虑，甚至激情，这些感情正在向某个方向涌去，吸引它们的力量之一就是不断加速的和声变化率。
