FROM THE STAGEEva Kozma, Assistant Principal Second Violin, on Mozarts Symphony No. 39:I love
the last movement because of its energy. We play our hearts out.This is one of the last symphonies of Mozart, and at times it is veryserious. Its dramatic. Youre constantly looking for the Mozartean lightness,the happiness, but the chords are diminished.
Whenever I play Mozart I think of my grandmother. She loved Mozart.She was concertmaster in my hometown orchestra in Romania, and sheonce said in a radio interview that Mozart made the most genial music everwritten, pure and beautiful. I think so too.

The four compositions that comprise the
program for our concert were written by threecomposers within the space of barely 30 years,a relatively short span of time in historical terms.This and the fact that two of these composerswere close friends and inuenced by each otherswork might promise a certain stylistic homo-geneity. But quite the opposite is true. Each ofthese works is quite distinct in sound, form, andcharacter. We begin with a suite of dances in the
French Baroque manner, a style that was out ofdate in 1763, when this music was composed, butkept alive through the remarkable longevity of itsauthor, Jean-Philippe Rameau.
Next comes a concerto, but with the unusualfeature of using not one but four solo instru-ments. Following intermission we hear sympho-nies by Joseph Haydn and his friend Wolfgang
Amadeus Mozart. The latter work presents whatwe have come to think of as the classical sym-phonic design, with fast opening and closingmovements framing a slow movement andminuet. But Haydns Philosopher Symphonyfollows a different and quite unusual course,opening with a dignied slow movement markedby contrapuntal textures, and using unusualinstrumental colors throughout. Together, these
four pieces indicate something of the variety ofcompositional invention that marked the lastthird of the 18th century, an exceptionally fertileperiod in the history of Western music.

JEAN-PHILIPPE RAMEAULes BoradesSuite
A LONG AND VARIED CAREER Jean-PhilippeRameau was, by any measure, one of the most
remarkable composers of the Baroque era. Bornin France but trained in Italy, he spent his earlyyears as an organist and composer of sacredmusic and keyboard pieces. By 1723 he hadmoved to Paris, where he held no regular posi-tion but seems to have earned his living as a free-lance musician and writer. (Among other things,he authored several famous treatises on musictheory.) At age 50, Rameau embarked on a newcareer as a composer for the theater. His operaHippolyte et Aricie, which premiered in 1733,created a sensation in Paris, due to the unprec-edented dramatic power of its music, and thecomposer found himself at the center of a criticalstorm, with rival factions alternately praising andcondemning the intensity of his style. Undauntedby this controversy, Rameau wrote a new opera in
nearly each of his remaining 30 years.Our concert begins with selections fromRameaus last opera, Les Borades. A great deal ofuncertainty surrounds the history of this piece.The work was commissioned by the Paris Opra,which put it into rehearsal in 1763, the yearbefore Rameau died. But there is no evidence thatit was actually performed. Concert presentationsof excerpts from the score occurred in the 1890s
and again in the 1960s in France, but the rststaged production, at least the rst that anyoneknows of, was not given until 1982.
STORY AND SPECTACLE The tale related in LesBoradescenters on Queen Alphise of Bactria, anancient kingdom in the Near East, who spurnsthe Boreas, god of the wind, in favor of a young
mortal she loves. Angered by this affront, the godraises a mighty gust that carries off the disobedi-ent queen. But in a classic deus ex machinarever-sal, Apollo intervenes and declares that Alphisesbeloved is actually his offspring and a distantdescendant of Boreas also, so all ends well.
Les Borades fullls the traditional require-ment of French Baroque opera for an exten-sive use of dance, either to advance the plot or

simply as picturesque diversion. Rameaus scoreis lled with gavottes, minuets, rigaudons andother dances popular with the French aristocracyduring the 18th century. These numbers wouldhave been occasions for lavish stage spectacles
during Rameaus day, sumptuously choreo-graphed and costumed tableaux of the kind thatlong typied opera in Paris.
Our suite includes a selection of the dancemovements Rameau composed for Les Borades.Most of these require no comment. But theGavotte pour les heures has unusual dramaticsignicance. Late in the opera, the bereft Arabis
is cheered by the arrival of Polyhymnia, the museof prayers and hymns. With her is a companyof allegorical gures representing the seasons,zephyrs, and hours. The latter engage in a dancethat inspired Rameau to an ingenious bit ofmusical onomatopoeia, with piccolos whirringover a rhythmically steady accompaniment toimitate the workings of a clock.
JOSEPH HAYDNSinfonia concertante in B-at major, Hob. I:105
A DIFFERENT KIND OF CONCERTO For modern lis-teners, the concerto is almost always a composi-tion for a single featured instrumentalist, usuallyin the role of a heroic virtuoso, with orchestralaccompaniment. But this modern conceptionof the concerto was not rmly established untilaround the beginning of the 19th century. Priorto that, concertos for two or several solo instru-ments were common. During the second half ofthe 18th century such works were usually identi-ed by the term sinfonia concertante. Mozartproduced several works of this kind. His greatcolleague and friend Joseph Haydn composed
only one, but it is of exceptional quality.Haydn wrote his Sinfonia concertante inB-at early in 1792, during the rst of his two cel-ebrated visits to London, where the now famouscomposer had come to preside over a series ofconcerts featuring his music. The work employsa solo quartet of oboe, bassoon, violin, and cello,and is cast in the usual three-movement concerto.The rst movement is built on themes that are by

turns graceful and robust. Haydn, in contrast tothe practice of his time, does not hold the soloquartet in abeyance during the initial paragraph,but has it assist the orchestra in setting forthhis musical materials. There is a lively interplay
among the soloists, and all four of them partakein the cadenza Haydn provides near the end ofthe movement.
This opening is followed by a gentle Andantethat nds the solo group in intimate conversationwith only the barest orchestral accompaniment.The last movement takes the form of an amusingmusic lesson. The orchestra begins by offering a
vigorous phrase in unison, but immediately thesolo violin cuts in. No, no, its recitative seemsto implore. Try again. The orchestra does so,but again the violin interrupts: Not that waythisway. And for the remainder of this charmingnale the four soloists demonstrate a successionof nimble scales and other gures, which thepoor orchestra struggles to imitate as best it can.
JOSEPH HAYDNSymphony No. 22 in E-at major,The Philosopher
HAYDN IN HUNGARY Before visiting London,Haydn had served as court composer to theHungarian prince Nikolaus Esterhzy. This situ-ation entailed both challenge and opportunity.The Esterhzy court orchestra consisted only ofa small group of strings with pairs of horns andoboes, a bassoon, and occasional utes. Withthese modest instrumental forces Haydn had toproduce a continually varied stream of music. Themost important result of that process was a seriesof more than 80 symphonies that Haydn com-posed during his three-decade Esterhzy tenure.
With the Esterhzy court orchestra as hislaboratory, Haydn was able to test his musicalideas. Particularly during the 1760s, he experi-mented with different types and arrangements ofmovements, sought unexpected turns of melodyand harmony, and deployed his musicians innovel ways. His Symphony in E-at major, No. 22in the standard listing of his works, employs allthese stratagems.

SYMPHONIC ANOMALIES The rst unusual feature of this composition is itsscoring. Prince Nikolauss oboists evidently had English horns at their disposal,and in the present work Haydn used those instruments in place of oboes. (Thisis the only one of his symphonies in which we nd this unusual instrumen-tation.) The result is an uncommonly rich and deep orchestral sound, some
perilously high horn writing notwithstanding.But sonority isnt the only anomaly. Though the work unfolds in four
movements, these do not yield the usual pattern of a Classical-period sym-phony. Haydn reverses the fast and slow movements normally found at theoutset, beginning the piece with a stately Adagio. The initial movement bringsanother surprise. Here a broad theme for the winds plays over a steadily march-ing accompaniment by the strings. This theme has the character of a liturgi-cal chant, and both that character and the texture of its setting here recall the
chorale prelude, a form widely cultivated by composers during the 17th andearly 18th centuries. The reference to this older and learned compositionalgenre, together with the measured gravity of the music, presumably inspiredthe name The Philosopher, by which this symphony is now known.
The second movement conveys that bracing energy Haydn so oftenbrought to the fast movements of his symphonies. We then hear a minuet, witha contrasting central episode featuring the distinctive timbres of the winds.This anticipates the colors of the closing movement. Here, rapid-re horn callsare echoed by the English horns, a striking effect.
WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZARTSymphony No. 39 in E-at major, K. 543
A MOZARTIAN MYSTERY In the summer of 1788, Mozart completed threeextraordinary symphonies, the last such works he would compose. This naltrilogy, as it is often called, poses two of the most intriguing and enduringquestions of Mozarts biography: Why did the composer write these works,and did he ever hear them performed? Mozart scholars have proposed severalpossibilities for explaining the composition of these three late symphonies,but even their most persuasive theories remain unproved for lack of denitivedocumentary evidence. And so, the mystery of the composers last three sym-phonies remains just that. But of the musics value there is no doubt. No sym-phonic compositions of the 18th century surpass the nal trilogy in strength,intricacy, or beauty, and only Mozarts slightly earlier Prague Symphony andthe later London symphonies of Haydn even approach them in this respect.
Less turbulent and impassioned than the Symphony in G minor, K.550, and not so outwardly brilliant as the Jupiter Symphony, K. 551, theSymphony in E-at Major, K. 543, has long been the least appreciated portionof the nal trilogy. It deserves better, for its musical substance and compo-sitional details are scarcely less admirable than those of its more famous sib-lings. Like the other two symphonies of the nal trilogy, this work followsthe four-movement sequence that by the 1780s had become the usual formatof symphonic composition. Unlike them, its plan includes an introduction inslow tempo to begin the rst movement. This preface begins in a splendid,

even ceremonious, manner, with sonorouschords in formal rhythms punctuated by timpanistrokes and falling scale gures. (The latter willreappear, in a more animated context, during themain body of the movement.) The music then
becomes quiet and expectant, its mounting senseof anticipation making the onset of the ensuingAllegro all the more effective.
There follows a slow movement that beginssoftly and placidly in the string choir alone.Beginning with its second paragraph, however,Mozart touches on some dark harmonies andstormy textures. The outbursts never last long,
though, and the movement as a whole conveysa beautiful and seemingly nocturnal atmosphere.The third movement presents a robust
minuet whose central episode uses an Alpine folkdance melody, sung here by the clarinet. Mozartconstructs the nale on a single swift and ener-getic theme, a procedure often used by Haydn inhis symphonic nales. This subject proves thesource of myriad developments, as Mozart varies
and extends his melodic material in characteristi-cally imaginative fashion.

PLAYING MOZART:EVA KOZMA, ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL SECOND VIOLIN
Symphony No. 39 is a difcult piecefor string players, because there is so
much character that needs to standout. Its operatic. Note lengths need tobe precise. We need to listen to eachother so much and play together.
Not everyone can play Mozart.People want to vibrate at the end ofa line, become more romantic. Thatdoesnt work for Mozart. The music isvery transparent. If you dont respectthe character or the lines, it will makea big mush.
In this symphony Mozart givesthe second violins a lot of the maintheme. Were not just accompanyingeighth notes. In other works we may bepart of the background, or supportingthe harmony. In this case were pretty
much equal.
