| 解析 | 摘 出 主 干：Beethoven’s habit ... was only rarely used by composers before him。主干意为“在他之前，作曲家很少使用贝多芬的习惯”。本句的谓语 was…used 为被动语态，翻译时仍须按照汉语表达习惯译为主动语态。主语 habit 后的介词短语 of increasing the volume with an extreme intensity and then abruptly following it with a sudden soft passage 为其同位语，说明 habit 的内容。该部分是由介词 of 与 and 连接的两个并列的动名词短语构成的。这两个动名词短语为 increasing the volume with an extreme intensity 和 then abruptly following it with a sudden soft passage。
