Perspectives from the Executive Director

December 2013

Acclaim for Franz and the Orchestra on tour

Our fabulous Orchestra recently completed an eight-city concert

tour that began November 4 in New York and fi nished on Novem-

ber 22 in Vienna. In four of the cities, the Cleveland Orchestra Cho-

rus added their wonderful voices to the ensemble. In my twenty-

fi ve years of hearing our concerts all over the world, these thirteen

concerts in November reached the highest artistic heights in memory.

The concerts centered on the “Fate and Freedom” festival we presented at Severance

Hall in October. And the performances were transcendent, the result of the collective

artistic commitment of Franz together with each and every performer on stage. Audi-

ences everywhere were wildly enthusiastic, press reviews were uniformly laudatory,

and, most importantly, every venue where we played issued an open invitation for mul-

tiple return engagements, far more than we have time in the schedule to fulfi ll. I hope

you saw the extensive coverage provided by The Plain Dealer and WKSU; some excerpts

of reviews are included in this program book.

An artistic triumph of this magnitude is exciting for all involved and it brings extraordi-

nary international attention to Northeast Ohio. Nevertheless, our ambassadorial role in

Europe’s great music halls is no match for our commitment to performing year-round

here at home for the community that created and has sustained the Orchestra for al-

most a century, and which we serve with great pride and humble dedication.

Thank you for your support

During this season of celebration and giving thanks, I want to convey our thanks to

you on behalf of the entire Cleveland Orchestra family. Franz Welser-Möst and the

members of the Orchestra are very grateful to everyone who experiences the joy of our

music-making here at home in Northeast Ohio: From loyal subscribers who wouldn’t

miss a concert to new listeners, dazzled by the beauty of this Concert Hall. From couples

on dates, socializing after a KeyBank Fridays@7 concert, to families on the Lawn at a Blos-

som concert, or joined here together for the holidays. From elementary school children

who arrive at Severance Hall in yellow buses, to the growing audience of young people

attending evening concerts through generously funded access programs.

In a very real way, each and every day, we are most thankful for our many supporters:

Foundations, who provide funding for innovation. Corporations, who sponsor our concert

presentations. Individuals, who donate to The Cleveland Orchestra at a rate higher than

at any other major orchestra in the country. We rely on you and your generosity to keep

our organization moving forward at the very highest levels of excellence and service. As

you refl ect on what you are grateful for in your own life, I hope you will recall the special

memories you associate with The Cleveland Orchestra, Severance Hall, and Blossom, and

that you will honor those lasting memories with a year-end gift to the Orchestra.

We greatly appreciate all that you do.

Gary Hanson

I N P E R F O R M A N C E S A T H O M E and around the globe, Th e Cleveland Orch-

estra remains Northeast Ohio’s most visible international ambassador and one

winter home at Severance Hall and at each summer’s Blossom Music Festi-

val, in residencies from Miami to Vienna, and on tour around the world, Th e

Cleveland Orchestra sets standards of artistic excellence, creative program-

ming, and active community engagement. With the 2013-14 season, Franz

Welser-Möst enters his twelft h year leading the ensemble, with a commitment

extending to the Orchestra’s centennial in 2018. Th is artistic partnership con-

tinues to move the ensemble forward through a series of new and ongoing ini-

tiatives, including:

expansion of education and community programs in Northeast Ohio to fea-

ture music as an integral and regular part of everyday life for more people, in-

cluding the launch this past spring of an “At Home” neighborhood residency

program that brings Th e Cleveland Orchestra to a single neighborhood or town

for an intensive week of special activities and performances, as well as the broaden-

ing of the Orchestra’s ongoing education and community engagement initiatives to

include Make Music!, a program of active and participatory experience and learning;

the establishment of residencies around the world, fostering creative artistic

growth and an expanded fi nancial base — including ongoing residencies

at the Vienna Musik verein (the fi rst of its kind by an American orchestra)

and in Florida under the name Cleveland Orch estra Miami (featuring an

annual series of concerts and community activities, coupled with educational

presentations and collaborations based on successful programs pioneered at home

in Cleveland);

creative new artistic collaborations with arts institutions in Northeast Ohio,

including staged works, concerts, and chamber music performances;

a concentrated and successful eff ort to develop future generations of audiences

for Cleveland Orchestra concerts in Northeast Ohio, through research, targeted

discounts, social media promotion, and student ticket programs, with demonstrat-

ed results at Severance Hall and Blossom;

a variety of new concert off erings (including KeyBank Fridays@7 and Celebri-

ty Series at Severance Hall as well as movie, themed, and family presentations at

Blossom) to play more music for more people;

the return of ballet as a regular part of the Orchestra’s presentations, featuring on-

going collaborations with Chicago’s Joff rey Ballet;

continuing and expanded educational partnerships with schools, colleges, and

universities across Northeast Ohio and beyond;

concert tours from coast to coast in the United States, including regular appear-

ances at Carnegie Hall;

ongoing recording activities, including new releases under the direction of Franz

Welser-Möst, Mitsuko Uchida, and Pierre Boulez, as well as a series of acclaimed

DVD concert presentations of symphonies by Anton Bruckner led by Welser-Möst.

Th e Cleveland Orchestra was founded in 1918 by a group of local citizens intent

on creating an ensemble worthy of joining America’s ranks of major symphony or-

chestras. Over the ensuing decades, the Orchestra quickly grew from a fi ne regional

organization to being one of the most admired symphony orchestras in the world.

Th e opening in 1931 of Severance Hall as the Orchestra’s home brought a special

pride to the ensemble and its hometown, as well as providing an enviable and inti-

mate acoustic environment in which to develop and refi ne the Orchestra’s artistry.

Year-round performances became a reality in 1968 with the opening of Blossom Mu-

sic Center, one of the most beautiful and acoustically admired outdoor concert facili-

ties in the United States.

Franz Welser-Möst Music Director Kelvin Smith Family Endowed Chair The Cleveland Orchestra

T H E 2 01 3 -1 4 S E A S O N marks Franz Welser-Möst’s

twelft h year as music director of Th e Cleveland Or-

chestra, with a long-term commitment extending

to the Orchestra’s centennial in 2018. Under his di-

rection, the Orchestra is acclaimed for its continu-

ing artistic excellence, is extending and enhancing

its community programming at home in Northeast

Ohio, is presented in a series of ongoing residencies

in the United States and Europe, continues its his-

toric championship of new composers through com-

missions and premieres, and has re-established itself

as an important operatic ensemble. Concurrently with his post in Cleveland, Mr.

Welser-Möst is general music director of the Vienna State Opera.

With a committed focus on music education in Northeast Ohio, Franz

Welser-Möst has taken Th e Cleveland Orchestra back into public schools with per-

formances in collaboration with the Cleveland Metropolitan School District. Mr.

Welser-Möst’s championship of community music-making expands upon his active

participation in educational programs and collaborative programming, including

the Cleveland Orchestra Youth Orchestra and partnerships with music conservato-

ries, universities, and other arts institutions across Northeast Ohio.

Under Mr. Welser-Möst’s leadership, Th e Cleveland Orchestra has established

an ongoing biennial residency in Vienna at the famed Musikverein concert hall and

another at Switzerland’s Lucerne Festival. Together, they have appeared in residence

at Suntory Hall in Tokyo, Japan, and at the Salzburg Festival, where a 2008 residency

included fi ve sold-out performances of a staged production of Dvořák’s opera Rusalka.

In the United States, Mr. Welser-Möst has established an annual multi-week Cleveland

Orch estra residency in Florida under the name Cleveland Orchestra Miami and, in

2011, launched a regular new residency at New York’s Lincoln Center Festival.

To the start of this season, Th e Cleveland Orchestra has performed fourteen

world and fi ft een United States premieres under Franz Welser-Möst’s direction.

Th rough the Roche Commissions project, he and the Orchestra have premiered

works by Harrison Birtwistle, Chen Yi, Hanspeter Kyburz, George Benjamin,

Toshio Hosokawa, and Matthias Pintscher in partnership with the Lucerne Festi-

val and Carnegie Hall. In addition, the Daniel R. Lewis Young Composer Fellow

program has brought new voices to the repertoire, including Pintscher, Marc-An-

dré Dalbavie, Susan Botti, Julian Anderson, Johannes Maria Staud, Jörg Widmann,

Sean Shepherd, and Ryan Wigglesworth.

in Cleveland, re-establishing the Orchestra as an important oper-

atic ensemble. Following six seasons of opera-in-concert presen-

tations, he brought fully staged opera back to Severance Hall with

a three-season cycle of Zurich Opera productions of the Mozart-

Da Ponte operas. He led concert performances of Strauss’s Sa-

lome at Severance Hall and at Carnegie Hall in May 2012 and in

May 2014 brings an innovative made-for-Cleveland production of

Leoš Janáček’s Th e Cunning Little Vixen to Northeast Ohio.

Franz Welser-Möst became general music director of the

Vienna State Opera in 2010. His long partnership with the com-

pany has included acclaimed performances of Tristan and Isol-

de, a new production of Wagner’s Ring cycle with stage director

Sven-Eric Bechtolf, and critically praised new productions of Hindemith’s Cardillac

and Janáček’s Katya Kabanova and From the House of the Dead. During the 2013-

14 season, his Vienna schedule includes a new production of Puccini’s Th e Girl of

the Golden West, as well as performances of Tristan and Isolde, Verdi’s Don Carlo,

Beethoven’s Fidelio, and Richard Strauss’s Ariadne auf Naxos and Der Rosenkavalier.

Mr. Welser-Möst also maintains an ongoing relationship with the Vienna Phil-

harmonic. Recent performances with the Philharmonic include appearances in con-

cert at La Scala Milan, at New York’s Carneige Hall, and in opera presentations at the

Salzburg Festival. He also led the Philharmonic’s New Year’s Day concert, viewed by

telecast in seventy countries worldwide in 2011 and again in 2013. Across a decade-

long tenure with the Zurich Opera, culminating in three seasons as general music di-

rector (2005-08), Mr. Welser-Möst led the company in more than 40 new productions.

Franz Welser-Möst’s recordings and videos have won major awards, including

the Gramophone Award, Diapason d’Or, Japanese Record Academy Award, and

two Grammy nominations. With Th e Cleveland Orchestra, he has created DVD re-

cordings of live performances of fi ve of Bruckner’s symphonies, presented in three

acoustically distinctive venues (the Abbey of St. Florian in Austria, Vienna’s Musik-

verein, and Severance Hall). With Cleveland, he has also released a recording of

Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony as well as an all-Wagner album featuring soprano

Measha Brueggergosman. DVD releases on the EMI label have included Mr. Wels-

er-Möst leading Zurich Opera productions of Th e Marriage of Figaro, Così fan tutte,

Don Giovanni, Der Rosenkavalier, Fierrabras, and Peter Grimes.

For his talents and dedication, Mr. Welser-Möst has received honors that

include recognition from the Western Law Center for Disability Rights, honor-

ary membership in the Vienna Singverein, appointment as an Academician of the

European Academy of Yuste, a Gold Medal from the Upper Austrian government

for his work as a cultural ambassador, a Decoration of Honor from the Republic of

Austria for his artistic achievements, and the Kilenyi Medal from the Bruckner So-

ciety of America. He is the co-author of Cadences: Observations and Conversations,

published in a German edition in 2007.

Orchestra News2013 European Festivals Tour draws praise for Welser-Möst, Cleveland Orchestra, and Chorus The following are excerpted from press commentary about the Orchestra’s per-

formances during its European Tour and Vienna Residency, November 8-22:

er-

“The handshakes from Franz Welser-Möst said it all. In acknowledging

the principals of the Cleveland Orchestra Friday night at Vienna’s Musik-

verein, the music director did what most in attendance probably wished

they could do themselves: personally thank the group for three superb

performances in a row. Not once in their concerts Wednesday through

Friday was it apparent that the group had been traveling abroad

nearly three weeks. No, here at the end of their 2013 European Tour,

the artists played with new focus and energy, and made sure Vienna

enjoyed the fruits of their long musical labor. The main thing appar-

ent, frankly, was that the orchestra had been playing Beethoven and

Shostakovich nonstop for weeks, and knew their six scores inside

and out. Here as nowhere else, the artists transcended the numer-

ous pages on their stands, and simply took advantage of the Musikverein’s leg-

endary acoustics. No less clear was that the audience recognized expertise, and liked what

it heard. . . . The response each night was hugely enthusiastic, giving Welser-Möst cause

to repeatedly acknowledge individual players and the ensemble as a whole. On Friday, he

even went so far as to jog into the bass section.”

—The Plain Dealer, November 23, 2013

“Franz Welser-Möst’s interpretations are anything but sober, yet clear

in their formal articulation. It is not the conceited omniscience of

someone who pretends to understand the world. His concerts reveal

an earth-bound assurance, free from spectacle, aff ectation, and senti-

mentality. He reads the score and interprets what’s there. Self-denial

in favor of the message of the artwork — this penchant for directness

is benefi cial, even if it is certainly not always successful. Franz Welser-

Möst has long been able to concentrate on works that really suit him,

working on pieces he likes to say are ‘close to his heart’.”

—Concerti, November 2013

“The second evening of their visit to Frankfurt started luxuriously:

The Cleveland Orchestra’s own chorus performed Beethoven’s Mass in

C major at the Alte Oper, joined of course by the orchestra itself from

Northeast Ohio, which was the focus of two concerts in the city. The

Cleveland Orchestra . . . juxtaposed works by Beethoven with the Sixth

and Tenth Symphonies by Dmitri Shostakovich. The symbiosis between the orchestra and

the chorus was unsurpassable. Under Austrian conductor Franz Welser-Möst, who has

been music director in the city on Lake Erie since 2002, Beethoven’s lyrical, literal setting

of the Latin Mass came across lean, subtle, and transparent, despite all the opulence in the

performing forces. The balance between singers and instrumentalists was perfect in the

soft and mild passages.” —Allgemeine Zeitung, November 12, 2013

The Cleveland Orchestra and Music Direc-

tor Franz Welser-Möst’s live recording of Bruck-

ner’s Symphony No. 4, released earlier this

year, is receiving wide acclaim in reviews from

around the world — including a new award

announced this fall. The Bruckner Society of

America has just announced that it is giving

this DVD its “best video of the year”

designation, lauding the perfor-

mance and the presentation.

The performance was fi lmed

in 2012 at the beautiful 17th-cen-

tury baroque Abbey of St. Florian

in Austria. Emmy Award-winner

Brian Large directed the video

recording. This is the fi rst video

produced of the recent critical

edition of the 1888 version of

Bruckner’s Fourth Symphony,

edited by Benjamin Korstvedt

and published in 2004 as part of the Bruckner

Collected Works edition.

Reviewers’ praise includes:

“How does one approach Anton Bruckner

and his exuberant Fourth Symphony distinc-

tively? Franz Welser-Möst and his fellow Cleve-

landers accomplished it. And in such a way!”

—Vienna Zeitung, June 2013

“A great orchestra, a Bruckner expert.

. . . Five out of fi ve stars.” —Kurier (Austria),

May 2013

“In St. Florian, Franz Welser-Möst and The

Cleveland Orchestra breathed new life into

this version. A glorious concert.” —Die Presse

(Austria), May 2013

Clasart produced the recording, which

is being distributed by Arthaus and Naxos.

The Cleveland Orchestra’s long-term partner-

ship with Clasart has resulted in fi ve Bruckner

DVDs to date. Founded in Munich in 1977,

Clasart is part of the Tele München Group. The

Cleveland Orchestra extends special thanks to

Raiff eisenlandesbank Oberösterreich and Tele

München Group for their ongoing support for

electronic media projects.

Under 18s Free ticketing program extended to new series and concerts at Severance Hall

Committed to welcoming

more young people and families,

The Cleveland Orchestra has signifi cantly ex-

panded its “Under 18s Free” program for the

2013-14 season at Severance Hall — to include

forty-six concerts from September to May, an

increase from just fourteen “Under 18s Free”

concerts in the 2012-13 season. “Under 18s

Free” tickets will be available for all family

programming at Severance Hall, along with

Cleveland Orchestra concerts on Fridays and

Sundays. The concerts include the Family Con-

cert Series, PNC Musical Rainbows, Cleveland

Orchestra Youth Orchestra and Youth Chorus

concerts, as well as The Cleveland Orchestra’s

Friday morning and evening concerts and Sun-

day matinees.

“We’re dedicated to serving more people in

our community,” says Gary Hanson, the Orches-

tra’s executive director. “The expansion of our

‘Under 18s Free’ program will provide access to

more than three times as many performances for

families and young people this season.”

Since the creation of the Center for Future

Audiences in 2010, funding from the Center

has helped enable nearly 60,000 young people

to attend Blossom Music Festival concerts and

performances at Severance Hall. The Center’s

ticket initiatives include “Under 18s Free,” Stu-

dent Advantage, and Student Ambassadors

programs. The Center for Future Audiences,

created with a lead endowment gift from the

Maltz Family Foundation, was established to

fund programs to develop new generations of

audiences for Cleveland Orchestra concerts in

Northeastern Ohio.

The “Under 18s Free” program off ers free

tickets (one per regular-priced adult paid ad-

mission) to young people ages 7-17. (Holiday

concerts and Celebrity Series concerts are

excluded from the “Under 18s Free” off er.) Indi-

vidual free tickets for Severance Hall concerts

for this program must be purchased through

the Severance Hall Ticket Offi ce; series pur-

chases for some series are available online.

Orchestra announces “At Home” neighborhood residency in Lakewood for May 2014

The Cleveland Orches-

tra and Lakewood have an-

nounced a new partnership

to present the Orchestra’s

next “At Home” neighborhood residency in

May 2014. The centerpiece of this week of ac-

tivities, education programs, and public per-

formances will be a free Cleveland Orchestra

concert at the Civic Auditorium in Lakewood

on Saturday evening, May 24. The concert

also feature a segment about the Orchestra’s

performances, collaborations, and events in

Lakewood.

“ Creating a grassroots opportunity for

Lakewood to experience perhaps the greatest

orchestra in the world at a very personal level

is a cultural experience that we will remember

for years to come,” commented Lakewood

Mayor Michael P. Summers in announcing the

collaboration. “Our increasingly vibrant com-

mercial corridors and neighborhoods will be

made ever-more-so by the music and the musi-

cians.” Ian Andrews, executive director of Lake-

woodAlive, Lakewood’s nonprofi t economic

development organization, added, “Lakewood

is known for its commitment to the arts. The Or-

chestra’s events will strengthen this commitment

and showcase the city’s great quality of life, local

organizations, restaurants, schools, and business-

es that make our community special.”

The Cleveland Orchestra introduced its

“At Home” neighborhood residency program

in May 2013 with a week of performances and

activities in the Gordon Square community

of Cleveland. Events include free perfor-

mances by Orchestra musicians and educa-

tion programs for children, students, and

families. Details of The Cleveland Orchestra’s

Lakewood neighborhood residency will be

announced in March 2014, along with infor-

mation about acquiring tickets for the free

Cleveland Orchestra concerts.

LEARNING MORE ABOUT THE MUSIC

The Cleveland Orchestra off ers a vari-

ety of options for learning more about

the music before each concert begins.

For each concert, the program book

includes program notes commenting

on and providing background about

the composer and his or her work

being performed that week, along

with biographies of the guest artists

and other information. You can read

these before the concert, at intermis-

sion, or afterward. (Program notes

are also posted ahead of time online

at clevelandorchestra.com, usually by

the Monday directly preceding the

concert.)

The Orchestra’s Music Study

Groups also provide a way of explor-

ing the music in more depth. These

classes, professionally led by Dr. Rose

Breckenridge, meet weekly in locations

around Cleveland to explore the music

being played each week and the sto-

ries behind the composers’ lives.

Free Concert Previews are pre-

sented one hour before most subscrip-

tion concerts throughout the season

at Severance Hall. The previews (see

listing at right) feature a variety of

speakers and guest artists speaking

or conversing about that weekend’s

program, and often include the op-

portunity for audience members to ask

questions.

A Rich Inheritance

1083


T H E E XC E P T I O N A L LY G I F T E D Mendelssohn knew all of Beet -

hoven’s music inside out, and, being a superb pianist, he played

the piano concertos on many occasions. Perhaps more signifi cant

for Mendelssohn’s own music was his adoption of the overture as a

vehicle of poetic expression.

In the two dramatic overtures Egmont and Coriolan, Beethoven

showed how a free-standing orchestral piece

could convey the essence of a drama or

a poetic idea without recourse to words.

Mendelssohn’s Overture to A Midsummer

Night’s Dream, which he wrote when he was

sixteen, and the overture Th e Hebrides, com-

posed when he was twenty, both pay tribute

to that heritage and laid the foundation for

innumerable pictorial overtures and sym-

phonic poems to come — whether by

Liszt, Tchaikovsky, or Richard Strauss.

If Beethoven stands at the head

of the 19th-century symphony and

concerto, Mendelssohn is the presid-

ing spirit over the passion for program

music that his contemporaries and

successors exploited to the full. With

this weekend’s program, we can enjoy

both — Beethoven’s mastery of form

and melody in two “early” concertos,

preceded by Mendelssohn’s wonderfully

wave-slapping overture depicting Scottish islands

in all their calm and fury.

W H E N T H E S C O T T I S H R E B E L L I O N against George II was

put down at the Battle of Culloden in 1746, a number of Eng-

lish soldiers were heard to remark that it was no surprise the

highlanders were such barbarians, wearing such strange clothes

and having to live in such a hideous mountain landscape, a part

of the known world which God had evidently failed to polish

at the Creation.

By the time Mendelssohn came of age, these attitudes had

been completely reversed. Mountains were now beautiful —

mysterious still, but full of poetry and music. When he toured

Scotland with his friend Karl Klingemann in August 1829, the

20-year-old composer was open to exactly the impressions that

Romantic poets and artists were anxious to fi nd.

From the port of Oban on the west coast, where Mendels-

sohn sketched a view of the distant islands, they took a boat to

the island of Mull. Th at night, from his lodgings in the fi shing

village of Tobermory, he wrote home to his family in Berlin:

“In order to show you how extraordinarily aff ected I am by the

Hebrides [the name for the islands in those parts], the following

came into my head there.” He attached a sketch of twenty-one

bars of music, which closely match the opening of the Hebrides

overture as we now know it, even though the work had many

transformations yet to undergo. Th e suggestive phrase at the

opening, and the rolling arpeggios that follow, are perfect evo-

cations of the inspiration of the moment — crossing the water

with a rugged, wild landscape all around.

Th e main work on the overture was actually done in Ven-

ice and Rome in 1830, when Mendelssohn was taking an Italian

tour to complement the Scottish one. But it was revised many

times before the composer (who was forever nervous about de-

claring a work to be fi nished) felt it was ready to be performed,

in London in 1832 — and many times more before it was ready

to be published.

Th e printed score bore the title Fingal’s Cave, the almost

inaccessible grotto on the island of Staff a that Mendelssohn and

Klingemann had visited aft er Mull. Mendelssohn said noth-

ing about that part of the trip, perhaps because he was horribly

seasick (as many tourists in those waters still are today), and

it is likely that the choice of title was not his. At all events, we

Mendelssohn the Wunderkind Felix Mendelssohn’s father was a banker, Abraham Mendelssohn.

His grandfather was a well-known German-Jewish philosopher, Moses

Mendelssohn. Felix grew up in an atmosphere of intense intellectual and artis-

tic curiosity. The family’s comfortable fi nancial circumstances allowed the boy

and his siblings to study, explore, and learn. Music was a favored interest,

and everyone was encouraged to learn an instrument (or two). Together,

they played through many pieces of chamber music and, occasionally, even

larger-ensemble works. His older sister, Fanny, was well-known as a pianist

from an early age. Felix, however, soon caught up — and would eventually

be recognized as one of Europe’s best keyboard artists (on both piano and

organ). He had begun studying piano at age six, was tutored the next year

in Paris, and was soon trumpeted as “a new Mozart.” Unlike that prodigy

of a generation before, however, Mendelssohn’s family did not exploit their

son as a potential money-making star. Instead, they encouraged him to

learn more about all aspects of music, including composition. By the time

he was 17 years old, he had written (and heard performed by his own family)

several masterful works — including his Overture to Shakespeare’s A Midsum-

mer Night’s Dream and the String Octet in E-fl at major.

are now accustomed to the original title, Th e Hebrides.

Whether or not a storm blew up while they were at sea,

Mendelssohn included the suggestion of rough weather in his

overture, both before the return to the main theme and at the

end — although he saved his most graphic representation of

a storm for the “Scottish” Symphony (published as No. 3), in-

spired by the same 1829 tour. But perhaps the strongest im-

pression the overture leaves is of supreme placidity and calm.

Th is is evoked by the beautiful second subject, fi rst heard on

the bassoons and cellos, and unforgettably moving when it re-

turns towards the end as a solo for the clarinet. Th e country

that inspired this could never again be viewed as the home of

barbarians.—Hugh Macdonald © 2013

About the Music

Above, a sketch of Edinburgh by Felix Mendelssohn, made during the same trip to Scotland in 1829 that inspired his concert overture “The Hebrides” about the famous archipelago off Scotland’s western coast.

Below, an 18th-century engraving showing “Fingal’s Cave.”

Mendelssohn fi rst began

sketching what eventually

became this overture in the

summer of 1829. The work

went through a number

of revisions under several

diff erent titles: Ouvertüre

zur einsamen Insel (“The

Lonely Island,” 1830), Die

Hebriden (1830), Overture

to the Isles of Fingal (1832),

Ossian in Fingalshöhle

(“Ossian in Fingal’s Cave”),

and Die Fingals-Höhle

(1835). The work was fi rst

performed in London on

May 14, 1832, under the di-

rection of Thomas Attwood.

This overture runs

about 10 minutes in

performance. Mendels-

sohn scored it for 2 fl utes,

2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bas-

soons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets,

timpani, and strings.

The Cleveland Orches-

tra fi rst performed The Heb-

rides Overture in November

1921 under founding music

director Nikolai Sokoloff . It

has been performed regu-

larly since that time, most

recently at Severance Hall

concerts in April 2011 under

Kurt Masur’s direction, and

more recently as part of the

Orchestra’s inaugural “At

Home” neighborhood resi-

dency community concert

at Saint Colman’s Catholic

Church in May 2013.

T H E FA M I L I A R N U M B E R I N G of Beethoven’s fi ve piano con-

certos is misleading in that both the number and the numbering

are wrong. Th ere are seven in all, of which the present concerto,

No. 2, is indeed the second, while the famous No. 1, in C major,

is actually the third. Beethoven fi rst cut his concerto teeth on

a work in E-fl at major when he was thirteen, although no one

would claim that it makes any prophetic proclamation of the

mature composer, let alone of the “Emperor” Concerto (No. 5)

or any of the other great works in E-fl at.

The concerto in B-fl at major, ultimately published as No. 2,

was probably begun in Bonn, while the composer was in his late

teens, although it was not completed until 1795, following the cu-

riously silent spell when Beethoven seems to have been overawed

by his teacher Haydn. It emerged at much the same time as the

astonishing group of works that bear his lowest opus numbers —

the three piano trios, Op. 1, and the three piano sonatas, Op. 2.

In the Burgtheater on March 29, 1795, having already made

a certain name for himself in the private salons of the Vienna

aristocracy, Beethoven made his fi rst public appearance as a

virtuoso. A doctor friend from his Bonn days, Franz Wegeler,

tells a vivid tale of how the concerto was fi nished: “Not until the

aft ernoon of the second day before the concert did he write the

Rondo, and then while suff ering from a pretty severe colic, which

frequently affl icted him. . . . In the anteroom sat four copyists

to whom he handed sheet aft er sheet as soon as it was fi nished.

At the rehearsal, which took place the next day in Beethoven’s

room, the pianoforte was found to be a half step lower than the

wind instruments. Without a moment’s delay Beethoven played

his part a half step higher.” Presumably no such expedient was

required at the concert itself.

Th e work was revised for a concert in Prague in 1798 (by

which time “No. 1” had been composed) and it was published

in Leipzig in 1801 (by which time “No. 3” had been composed).

Conscious of tremendous advances in his music, Beethoven was

able to dismiss the B-fl at concerto, No. 2, in a letter to his pub-

lisher, as “not one of my best concertos.” He even sold it for half

the price he asked for adjacent works, such as the Septet Op. 20,

the First Symphony, and the B-fl at major Piano Sonata Op. 22.

Beethoven’s evaluation may seem reasonable for the fi rst

movement, but scarcely so for the other two. Th ere is a cer-

tain squareness and predictability in the fi rst movement, which

would be no criticism in a work by any other hand. Th e fi rst

four bars, for example, are exactly balanced by the second four,

and the contrasts of rhythm and character, and of wind and

strings, are also in exact equilibrium.

Something of Beethoven’s more personal manner comes

with the heavy unison C’s, fortissimo, followed by three D-fl ats,

pianissimo, a dramatic incident that rouses the music from any

suspicion of graceful ease. Once the solo piano has entered,

the music blossoms in new, livelier directions, with a suave

second subject and a surge of sixteenth notes as the exposition

approaches its close. Th e cadenza is by Beethoven himself.

The slow movement breaks new ground in both feel-

ing and form. One expects a fl ow of sustained melody from a

Beethoven Adagio, but here the theme is never fully stated, de-

spite its frequent recurrence; the fi rst six notes take a variety of

diff erent directions. At the opening, for example, the melody is

very quickly interrupted by dramatic orchestral intrusions. Th e

piano off ers a statement, then quickly proceeds to elaborate it.

A development takes it through darker keys, then a reprise gives

it to the oboe above piano arpeggios, the theme always subtly

diff erent, always calmly unfolding. Th e most moving passage

comes at the end where a long coda gives place not to a cadenza

but to a series of melodic fragments, unsupported by harmony,

off ered like hesitant speech and ending on a half-close, agoniz-

ingly incomplete. Th e orchestra has to supply the fi nal chords.

Th e rousing third movement rondo makes play of spiky

cross-rhythms in its main theme, although the soloist’s main con-

cern is with trills, grace notes, wide leaps, cascading sixteenths,

and the whole virtuoso kitbag. A middle episode gives the spiky

rhythm a new, lumbering character, like a folk dance. Towards

the end there are two touches of humor, neither quite like Haydn’s

well-known type of symphonic joking. One is the ironing out of

the spiky rhythm by the soloist in the coda in a surprising key,

with the key and the rhythm immediately corrected by the whole

orchestra. Th e other is the series of sweet nothings that prolong

the close long aft er the musical argument has ended.

Seven piano concertos? Aft er No. 4 (which was really the

fi ft h), Beethoven published an arrangement of his sublime vio-

About the Music

Beethoven began work on

his B-fl at major concerto in

Bonn prior to his move to

Vienna in 1792. He probably

played it in public for the

fi rst time at his “musical

academy” on March 29,

1795. He continued to make

revisions until its publication

in 1801 as Concerto No. 2. At

that time, the concerto was

dedicated to an Austrian no-

bleman named Carl Nicklas

von Nickelsberg. Beethoven

wrote out an extended solo

cadenza for the fi rst move-

ment in 1809.

This concerto runs about

30 minutes in performance.

Beethoven scored it for fl ute,

2 oboes, 2 bassoons, 2 horns,

strings, and the solo piano.

The Cleveland Orch es tra

fi rst performed Beethoven’s

Second Piano Concerto

in April 1954, with George

Szell conducting and Leon

Fleisher as soloist. It has

been performed regularly

since that time, most recently

in April 2011, when Kurt

Masur led performances at

Severance Hall with soloist

David Fray.

B E E T H O V E N ’ S early fame rested more on his piano playing

than on his compositions. Having arrived in Vienna in 1792,

he caught the attention of the public and, more importantly

of the nobility, by displaying his formidable powers in private

salons and later in public halls.

By composing piano concertos for himself to play, he

achieved the double objective of attracting attention as player

and as composer. Th e three concertos numbered 1, 2, and 3 all

belong to this phase of his life, before deafness began to threaten

his career as a pianist and his ability to communicate with his

fellow-beings.

Th e Concerto No. 3 was begun in 1800, at about the same

time as the Second Symphony and the six string quartets of

Opus 18, and although it reveals some of Beethoven’s latent

force, it is essentially part of his brilliant fi rst phase as a com-

poser, when melodiousness and high craft smanship were his

chief claims to pre-eminence. Th e key of C minor neverthe-

less foreshadows the stormy world of the Fift h Symphony, the

Th irty-Two Variations for piano, and a number of other pieces.

Th e opening theme of the concerto’s fi rst movement is

formulaic and baldly stated without accompaniment; most

striking is the drum-tap fi gure that pervades the movement and

eventually reaches the drums themselves, as Beethoven surely

destined it. Th e movement’s second subject, in contrast, is one

of Beethoven’s warmest melodies, especially radiant later on

when it returns in C major. A surprise occurs at the end when,

aft er the solo cadenza, the soloist does not sit back contented,

as had always been the normal practice, but continues in dialog

with the drums and then accompanies the full orchestra in its

closing gestures.

Aft er the dark C minor of the fi rst movement, the remote

chord of E major that opens the slow middle movement has

an ethereal eff ect. Beethoven means to transport his listeners

to another world and, in a few bars of concentrated melody, he

does so. Once the orchestra has replied in its own way to the

piano’s opening theme, the piano part is allowed to blossom

gloriously in runs, arpeggios, and cascades, which never dis-

turb the stately pace of the movement.

A cadenza and a pair of horns allow the movement to

by Ludwig vanBEETHOVENborn December 16, 1770Bonn

diedMarch 26, 1827Vienna


settle into a calm close, except that . . . a shocking, loud chord

confi rms the key of E major and simultaneously sets the return

to C minor for the concluding lively rondo third movement in

painful relief.

Each return of the theme is eff ected by a surging scale,

which accentuates the melody’s awkward intervals and com-

pulsive rhythm. Th e clarinet’s contrasting theme is a generous

reminder that Beethoven had not yet left the divine melodious-

ness of his youth behind. Th e fi nal section abandons both the

2/4 rhythm and the minor key, and gives us a conventional

happy ending in a bouncy 6/8, as if that had been the objective

of this dark-hued work all along. Beethoven was always the

great dissembler.—Hugh Macdonald © 2013

About the Music

It was long thought that Beethoven

had written this concerto in 1799

or 1800, with sketches dating

to as early as 1797. More recent

research suggests that, although

some phrases may have been

sketched earlier, he began writing

the concerto in earnest in 1802 and

completed it early in 1803. It was

fi rst performed on April 5, 1803, at

the Theater-an-der-Wien in Vienna,

with the composer as soloist. The

concerto was published the follow-

ing year with a dedication to Prince

Louis Ferdinand of Prussia. The fi rst

performance in the United States

took place on December 8, 1842,

in Boston’s Tremont Temple, with

George J. Webb conducting the Mu-

sical Fund Society and J. L. Hatton

as pianist.

This concerto runs about

30 minutes in performance.

Beethoven scored it for 2 fl utes, 2

oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2

horns, 2 trumpets, timpani, and

strings.

The Cleveland Orchestra

fi rst presented Beethoven’s Third

Piano Concerto in January 1923 at

subscription concerts led by Nikolai

Sokoloff , with Mischa Levitzki as

soloist. The most recent perfor-

mances were given at Severance

Hall in May 2013 by Lars Vogt, con-

ducted by Manfred Honeck. The

concerto was last heard at Blossom

as part of the 2011 Festival, with

pianist Jon Kimura Parker in a

performance conducted by David

Afkham.

The Cleveland Orchestra has

recorded all fi ve of Beethoven’s Pia-

no Concertos three times: between

1959 and 1961 with George Szell

and Leon Fleisher, in 1968 with Szell

and Emil Gilels, and between 1986

and 1987 with Vladimir Ashkenazy

as both conductor and pianist.

Leon FleisherAmerican pianist and conductor Leon Fleisher is serving

as Th e Cleveland Orchestra’s artist-in-residence this sea-

son. Th is position is made possible by the Malcolm E. Ken-

ney Artist-in-Residence Fund, created through a generous

endowment gift to Th e Cleveland Orchestra. Mr. Fleisher

has performed with the Orchestra in more than 70 concerts,

beginning in October 1946. He fi rst conducted the Orches-

tra in 1978 in Lakewood; this weekend marks his Severance

Hall conducting debut.

Leon Fleisher’s career as soloist, conductor, recitalist,

chamber music artist, and masterclass mentor has spanned

across the decades of his life. Born in 1928, he began play-

ing piano at age four and gave his fi rst recital at age eight. He was the young-

est-ever student of Artur Schnabel, whose own former teachers can be traced to

Beethoven. Leon Fleisher made his public debut in 1944 with the New York Phil-

harmonic.

In 1952, Mr. Fleisher was the fi rst American to win the Queen Elisabeth

Competition. He went on to perform with every major orchestra and made a se-

ries of acclaimed recordings with George Szell and Th e Cleveland Orchestra. At

the height of his success in 1965, he suff ered focal dystonia, which rendered two

fi ngers on his right hand immobile. Mr. Fleisher then turned to repertoire for the

left hand and conducting. Eventually, treatments using Rolfi ng and botulinum

toxin injections restored his hand’s mobility. Leon Fleisher’s professional renais-

sance has been documented in fi lms, recordings, and a memoir, My Nine Lives: A

Memoir of Many Careers in Music.

Highlights of Mr. Fleisher’s 2013-14 season include appearances as soloist

with the orchestras of Boston and Chicago and the New York String Orchestra,

and as conductor-soloist with the Naples Philharmonic in Florida, leading a world

premiere with three of his children and a daughter-in-law as harp soloists.

In 2008, Sony re-issued Leon Fleisher’s extensive discography on CD and as

digital downloads. Since 2004, he has also recorded for Bridge Records, Deutsche

Grammophon, Ondine, and Vanguard. Th is past summer, Sony issued a 23-CD

set that includes his Szell/Cleveland performances, which remain a greatly praised

documentation of their collaborations.

Honorary doctorates and the Johns Hopkins University President’s Medal

are among Mr. Fleisher’s many honors. He is also is a Commander in the French

Order of Arts and Letters, 2007 Kennedy Center Honoree, Musical America’s 1994

Instrumentalist of the Year, and the Royal Philharmonic Society’s 2013 Instru-

mentalist of the Year. He lives in Baltimore with his wife, pianist Katherine Jacob-

Jonathan BissAmerican pianist Jonathan Biss is known for his artistry,

musical intelligence, and deeply felt interpretations — win-

ning international recognition for his orchestral, recital, and

chamber music performances and for his award-winning re-

cordings. He performs a diverse repertoire ranging from Mo-

zart and Beethoven, through the Romantics to Janáček and

Schoenberg, as well as works by contemporary composers

such as György Kurtág and including commissions by Leon

Kirchner, Lewis Spratlan, Timo Andres, and Bernard Rands.

He made his Cleveland Orchestra debut in November 2007;

his most recent appearances were in November 2011.

Mr. Biss’s orchestral engagements during the 2013-14

season include appearances with the New York Philharmonic, Boston Symphony,

Calgary Philharmonic, San Antonio Symphony, Rochester Philharmonic, Seattle

Symphony, NDR Hannover, Swedish Chamber Orchestra, and Leipzig Gewandhaus.

Jonathan Biss continues to play in major recital series across the United

States and in Europe — he has twice opened the Master Piano Series at the Con-

certgebouw, as well as performed at the Salzburg, Lucerne, and Edinburgh Fes-

tivals, in the Beethovenfest in Bonn, and for St. Petersburg’s Mariinsky Concert

Hall in Russia. Mr. Biss made his Carnegie Hall recital debut in January 2011

with a program of works by Beethoven, Schumann, and Janáček, plus a new work

written for him by Bernard Rands. He continues to appear regularly at Carnegie

Hall, and will present his second recital in Stern Auditorium in January 2014.

In January 2012, Onyx Classics released the fi rst album in a nine-year, nine-

disc recording cycle of Beethoven’s complete sonatas with Mr. Biss. He wrote

about this recording project and his relationship with Beethoven’s music more

generally in Beethoven’s Shadow, an essay that was published electronically by Ro-

settaBooks as a Kindle Single, available from Amazon.com. Beethoven’s Shadow

subsequently ranked as the best-selling Music e-book title on Amazon in the U.S.

and the U.K. Mr. Biss’s previous recordings include an album of Schubert sona-

tas and two short pieces by Kurtág. Th ese followed four acclaimed recordings for

EMI Classics, including an all-Schumann album and one of Beethoven Piano so-

natas, which received an Edison Award.

Jonathan Biss represents the third generation in a family of professional mu-

sicians that includes his grandmother, cellist Raya Garbousova, and his parents,

violinist Miriam Fried and violist-violinist Paul Biss. Jonathan Biss began piano

at age six, and his fi rst musical collaborations were with his parents. He studied

at Indiana University with Evelyne Brancart and at the Curtis Institute with Leon

Fleisher.

Student attendance continuesto grow at Severance Hall

As Th e Cleveland Orchestra’s 2013-14 season has gotten underway, more Stu-

dent Advantage Members, Frequent Fan Card holders, Student Ambassadors,

and student groups are contributing to the continued success of these programs.

Th e Orchestra’s ongoing Student Advantage Program provides opportu-

nities for students to attend concerts at Severance Hall and Blossom through

discounted ticket off ers. Membership is free to join and rewards members

with discounted ticket purchases. For this season, a record 6,000 students

have joined.

Th e Student Frequent Fan Card was introduced a year ago with great suc-

cess. Th e program is continuing to grow, with the number of Frequent Fan

Card holders tripling so far this season over 2012-13. Priced at $50, the Fan

Card off ers students unlimited single tickets (one ticket per card holder) to

weekly classical subscription concerts all season long.

Th e Student Ambassador program is also growing. Th ese young volun-

teers help to promote the Orchestra’s concert off erings and student programs

directly on campuses across Northeast Ohio.

Also this year, a group of Student Marketing Advisors was formed to help

the Orchestra incorporate student feedback and insight to programs, and give

local marketing majors a chance to work closely with the Orchestra’s sales team.

In addition, attendance through Student Group sales are also bringing in

more and more young people to Cleveland Orchestra concerts. From as far as

Toronto and Nashville, these groups make up an integral part of the overall suc-

cess toward generating participation and interest among young people.

All of these programs are supported by Th e Cleveland Orchestra’s Center

for Future Audiences, through the Alexander and Sarah Cutler Fund for Student

Audiences. Th e Center for Future Audiences was created with a $20 million lead

endowment gift from the Maltz Family Foundation to develop new generations

of audiences for Cleveland Orchestra concerts in Northeast Ohio.

Education & Community

Education and Music Serving the Community Th e Cleveland Orchestra draws together traditional and new programs in music education and community involvement to deepen connections with audiences throughout Northeast Ohio

THE CLE VE L AND ORCHE STRA has a long and proud history of sharing the

value and joy of music with citizens throughout Northeast Ohio. Education and

community programs date to the Orchestra’s founding in 1918 and have remained

a central focus of the ensemble’s activities for over ninety years. Today, with the

support of many generous individual, foundation, corporate, and governmental

funding partners, the Orchestra’s educational and community programs reach

more than 60,000 young people and adults annually, helping to foster a love of

music and a lifetime of involvement with the musical arts. On these pages, we

share photo graphs from a sampling of these many programs. For additional in-

formation about these and other programs, visit us at clevelandorchestra.com or

contact the Education & Community Programs Offi ce by calling 216-231-7355.

The Cleveland OrchestraCenter for Future AudiencesTHE CLE VE L AND ORCHE STRA’s Center for Future Audiences was estab-

lished to fund programs to develop new generations of audiences for Cleveland

Orch estra concerts in Northeast Ohio. Th e Center was created in 2010 with a

$20 million lead endowment gift from the Maltz Family Foundation. Center-

funded programs focus on addressing economic and geographic barriers to

introductory off ers, targeted dis-

counts, student ticket programs, and

integrated use of new technologies.

Th e goal is to create one of the young-

est audiences of any symphony or-

chestra in the country. For additional

The Cleveland Orchestra’s catalog of recordings

continues to grow. The newest DVD features Bruckner’s

Fourth Symphony recorded live in the Abbey of St. Flo-

rian in Austria under the direction of Music Director Franz

Welser-Möst in 2012 and released in May 2013.

“A great orchestra, a Bruckner expert. . . . Five

out of fi ve stars,” declared Austria’s Kurier

newspaper. Released in 2012, Dvořák’s opera

Rusalka on CD, recorded live at the Salzburg

Festival, elicited the reviewer for London’s

Sunday Times to praise the perform ance as

“the most spellbinding account of Dvořák’s

miraculous score I have ever heard, either in the the-

atre or on record. . . . I doubt this music can be better

played than by the Clevelanders, the most ‘European’

of the American orchestras, with wind and brass solo-

ists to die for and a string sound of superlative

warmth and sensitivity.” Other recordings

released in recent years include two under the

baton of Pierre Boulez and a third album of

Mozart piano concertos with Mitsuko Uchida,

whose fi rst Cleveland Orchestra Mozart album

won a Grammy Award in 2011.

H A I L E D A S O N E O F the world’s most

beautiful concert halls, Severance Hall

has been home to Th e Cleveland Or-

chestra since its opening on February 5,

1931. Aft er that fi rst concert, a Cleve-

land newspaper editorial stated: “We

believe that Mr. Severance intended

to build a temple to music, and not a

temple to wealth; and we believe it is his

intention that all music lovers should be

welcome there.” John Long Severance

(president of the Musical Arts Associa-

tion, 1921-1936) and his wife, Elisabeth,

donated most of the funds necessary to

erect this magnifi cent building. De-

signed by Walker & Weeks, its elegant

Georgian exterior was constructed to

harmonize with the classical architec-

ture of other prominent buildings in

the University Circle area. Th e interior

of the building refl ects a combination

of design styles, including Art Deco,

Egyptian Revival, Classicism, and Mod-

ernism. An extensive renovation, resto-

ration, and expansion of the facility was

completed in January 2000. In addition

to serving as the home of Th e Cleveland

Orchestra for concerts and rehearsals,

the building is rented by a wide variety

of local organizations and private citi-

zens for performances, meetings, and

gala events each year.
