From Dream to RealityHonoring the Founders of
Cleveland Orchestra MiamiMore than a decade ago, a group of Miami citizens joined together around a remark-able shared dream — of bringing to Miami one of the best orchestras in the world, not just once, but on a regular basis. To build an ongoing relationship between the com-munity and that orchestra, and to present a series of concerts in the city’s brand-new world-class concert hall at the Adrienne Arsht Center. To harness the power of music to engage school children, and to present community presentations of the highest caliber. Today, as we celebrate our Tenth Anniversary, that dream is a reality, and we list here the names of the founders of Cleveland Orcherstra Miami in gratitude to their vision, perseverance, and dedication . . . to a dream . . . for all of South Florida.

19Cleveland Orchestra Miami 2015-16 Introducing the Concerts
T O C O N C L U D E Cleveland Orchestra Miami’s Tenth Anniversary Sea-son, this weekend’s concerts offer the excitement of a world premiere, the dazzle of a grand 19th-century piano concerto, and the orchestral wonder of a big first symphony written just on the brink of the 20th century and the modern technological world .
The evening opens with a brand-new work, written especially for The Cleveland Orch estra to celebrate the tandem tenth seasons of the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County and Cleveland Orchestra Miami . Commissioned by the Arsht Center, Avner Dorman’s Siklòn presents a musical impression of the vibrant and swirling life and lives that have catapulted modern Miami into becoming a vibrant global center for arts and culture . The title is the Hai-
tian Creole word for “cyclone,” and is meant as a metaphor for all the intertwined and circling energy that is propelling Miami forward . Next up is Franz Liszt’s Second Piano Concerto, given its world premiere in 1857 . Liszt was one of the greatest virtuosos of the piano — and made his reputation first as a performing act, before settling down and also writing a trove of sublime compositions . For these Miami per-formances, we welcome one of today’s great pianists, Frenchman Jean-Yves Thibaudet . To end the concert, conductor Giancarlo Guerrero has chosen Gustav Mahler’s First Symphony, written in 1884-1889 . Its huge can-vas, wide range of musical textures, and mixing in of everyday musical sounds confused early audiences — but stands today as a clear sign of the approaching explosion of experimental musical styles and combin-ing of ideas brought forth in the 20th century . After an opening move-ment of birdcalls and a sense of clashing nature comes a grotesque funeral march in the third movement, ending as the symphony’s finale rings out in triumphant and uplifting proclamation . —Eric Sellen .

The composer has written the following comments about this new work, commissioned by the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Perform-ing Arts of Miami-Dade County as part of its 10@10 commssioning series to celebrate the Arsht Center’s Tenth Anniversary:
T H E F I R S T T I M E I V I S I T E D Miami was only in 2015, but from the moment I arrived, I was captivated . So many aspects of the city spoke to me — the warm nights, the hot sun, the cosmo-politan culture, the diverse population — and I was reminded of my home city of Tel Aviv . As I had the opportunity to tour different neighborhoods in Miami and meet artists, musicians, and other members of the community, I was struck by the en-ergy of the people . The mingling of different cultures, foods, politics, and arts concocts a whirlwind of energy that is unique to the city of Miami . Siklòn, the work I have written for this commission, refers both to the violent nature of Miami’s hurricanes, as well as to the frenzy of energy that comes from a place driven by hot weather, sometimes clashing ideas, and the effervescence of youth . The title “Siklòn” is the Haitian Creole word for hurricane . While it evokes the image of a “cyclone” or a storm, the word is one that may be unfamiliar to many, and it calls to mind the worlds of experiences and ideas that are present in the fabric of Miami’s culture . The work begins with a clash of ideas that is, at times, both challenging and aggressive . These musical ideas continue to interact, swirling and reacting to one another, until the storm breaks into a joyful energy . While the undercurrent continues to churn and the energy never subsides, the once-disturbing storm becomes an outlet of light and happiness . While I still hope to learn more about the depth of Miami’s culture, this piece reflects how I perceive the city — joyful, pas-sionate, and bursting with creativity .

21Cleveland Orchestra Miami 2015-16 About the Music
About the ComposerA native of Israel, composer Avner Dorman draws on a variety of cultural and historical influences in his writing to create music intended to impart an emotional impact on his listeners . Dorman is also an active conductor, and currently serves as music director of CityMusic Cleveland, a chamber orchestra in Northeast Ohio created to present free concerts in neighborhoods where audi-ence members have limited access to classical music . Dorman holds a doctorate in composition from the Juilliard School and serves as assistant professor of music theory and composition at the Sunderman Conservatory of Music at Gettysburg Col-lege in Pennsylvania . He earned a master’s degree at Tel Aviv University, majoring in music, musicology, and physics . For more information, visit www.avnerdormanmusic.com .
Q&Aabout Siklòn You’ve said that for this new work you envisioned a hur-ricane or cyclone as a metaphor for the mixing together of diverse cultures in Miami. Does any part of the piece sound like a hurricane?
I’ve never been inside a hurricane, so I don’t know what a hurricane sounds like. I guess some people do have that experience, but I’m not a storm-chaser. However, if you look at the score, there is something like a swelling of the meter, going back and forth, from faster to slower, again and again, and also I think it has a feeling of something big com-ing, something storm-like. So there is an aspect that is audible, not in trying to imitate the sound of a storm, but more like the feeling of wind and water and energy building up. So that there is something that might be audible. But I wasn’t trying to imitate a storm, which I think might be just noise to me. I wanted to create music, not noise.
How did you come to this idea of representing Miami in music?
I visited Miami for the first time just a year ago. So in one sense, this music is first impres-sions, even though I spent quite a few days around town and time trying to understand what I saw. As I was walking around and feeling the heat of the city, and knowing that hurricanes are a part of what Miami may face each year, sometimes just over the horizon, and meeting so many people, so many different and such creative people, I got an incred-ible sense of so much energy coming to and being formed in Miami. I was raised in Tel Aviv, which I think has a similar vibe, because in both cities there are a lot of different cultures, and people are very outspoken about their own culture and wanting to have their own place, and to mix together but still be who they are. I met with artists around Miami — and I saw everything in strong colors. People paint, and draw
22 2015-16 Cleveland Orchestra Miami
boldly, and even in the photography, everything is very vivid. And I began thinking that this is quite interesting, for a city to have so much sun together with such powerful storms, and I began to see that the city’s culture itself has such vividness and diversity and a clashing of elements. Not an angry kind of clashing, but something that creates energy from the friction and interaction. So that the idea of a hurricane really became a metaphor for me of an energy that is being created from everything that is happening.
How did you approach writing a piece for The Cleveland Orchestra?
Writing for The Cleveland Orchestra is a dream come true. They are one of my favor-ite orchestras. I’ve heard them live, in Cleveland and in New York, and in Europe, and they are one of the most superb ensembles in the world. So I just went for it — because I knew that anything could work, that these musicians could play anything. There is no weakness among the sections or players. I’m a huge fan of the warm sound and expres-sive nature of The Cleveland Orchestra, but this piece isn’t about that. I wasn’t writing for that sound. I was writing a piece, and I didn’t have to make choices. The piece is al-most like a small concerto for orchestra, in that almost every instrument in the orches-tra gets a moment when the music is driven by that instrument or by a section together. Knowing that every group of players within the Orchestra was strong, there was not a worry in my mind. They can do everything, and they will make the notes sing, and they will turn what I write into music.
You have your own connection with the city of Cleveland, as the music director of CityMusic Cleveland. Did that touch this piece in any way?
Siklón is about Miami, written for The Cleveland Orchestra, and to celebrate the Arsht Center as a great hub for art and culture. I wasn’t really thinking about Cleveland while I was writing this piece. Yes, I am in Cleveland a lot for CityMusic’s work of sharing music around to different neighborhoods, and I know some of the musicians in The Cleveland Orchestra quite well. So my mind was focused on the Orchestra, but I was picturing it in Miami, because this piece is about Miami as a vibrant and alive and creative city.
Did music from any of the cultural groups in Miami influence your writing?
One thing I didn’t do in this piece is try to incorporate elements of world music that are so obviously part of Miami. I listened to a lot of Haitian and Cuban music, but I felt that it would be superficial for me to try to incorporate anything directly from those cultures, which are not my own. I think, perhaps, that there are elements in certain rhythms, which are common in those musical styles or in folk music in general, and people can hear something familiar, if they want to. But I only try to work with what is natural and cohesive to my own style of writing. I did not include any direct quotes. This music is my reaction to Miami’s exciting and diverse mix of cultures, it is not a rendering of those dif-fering styles.
About the Music
23Cleveland Orchestra Miami 2015-16
How would you describe your own style of music?
First of all, rhythm is central to my understanding of music. Percussion also plays a big role in my writing, to create rhythm, but also for sounding color, and in making differ-ing colors in sound. I like to explore different colorings in music, and to explore different instruments making new colors together. This piece is very driving, exuberant, excit-ing. The beginning of Siklòn is filled with swirling, with rhythm involved in lots of mo-tion. And then toward the end, the music becomes more melodic and expressive. So one might say that rhythm is a beginning, but this music — and my music — is more than just rhythm happening in time. I try to use rhythm to lead to something that is emotion-ally meaningful.
The piece’s title is “Siklòn,” the Haitian Creole word for cyclone or hurricane. Why did you choose that word?
Titles are hard for me. It’s not like I have a title and then I write the piece to fit. There is music in my mind, and I then I come to understand it by writing it, and by giving it a name. I had the image of a hurricane in my mind, and then I found the word Siklòn. I think that it works really well from many points of view. It is obvious what it is — we all know what a cyclone is. But this is not the obvious way to say hurricane. This is the Haitian Creole word for cyclone, where the accent over the “o” already makes it more in-teresting, even visually. It seemed a good fit for the content of the piece and even to help grab your attention. And it comes from a specific culture within the mix, of the many peoples who have come to live in Miami. The visual of a cyclone was right there in my mind as I was writing, and I think it very much fits the piece, at least for the first half or more, with all the swirling together as energy is accumulating and until, of course, some-thing has to happen with it. But that is the nature of a musical journey — to start in one place and to end somewhere else. Even if you end where you began, you are changed by taking the journey.
About the Music
Dorman wrote Siklòn (the Haitian Creole word for “cy-clone” or “hurricane”) in 2015 on a commission from the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County as part of its 10@10 Commission Project to jointly celebrate the Tenth Anniversary Season of the Arsht Center and Cleveland Orchestra Miami, a longterm an-nual residency by The Cleveland Orchestra in Miami involving annual concerts, education pro-
grams, and community presen-tations. The 10@10 commissions were chosen across performing and visual arts to highlight deep cultural relationships the Center has fostered over the past 10 years and the Center’s ongoing commitment to commissioning new work. The Cleveland Orchestra is presenting the world premiere performances of Siklòn with this weekend’s concerts, March 17-19, under the direction of
Giancarlo Guerrero. This work runs 7 or 8 min-utes in performance. Dorman scored it for 2 flutes (second doubling piccolo), 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, bass clarinet, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion (vibraphone, claves, marimba, bass drum, snare drum, tom-tom, tam-tam, cym-bals, and bell tree), and strings.

Piano Concerto No. 2 in A major composed 1839-49, revised 1853-61
F R A N Z L I S Z T ’ S two piano concertos evolved side by side over a period of some twenty years, originating during a time of extensive concert tours and completed after Liszt had settled down as court conductor in Weimar . (Liszt also created a num-ber of sketches for a third concerto early in this time period, in E-flat major like the well-known No . 1; a performing version was reconstructed in the late 1980s and subsequently performed and recorded .) For Liszt, these years were marked by an ongoing strug-gle to find his own voice as a composer . He had to reconcile two opposite tendencies that were equally strong in his artistic makeup — the Romantic virtuoso whose spirit refused to be restrained by rules or conventions, and the master builder who strove to create large-scale structures governed by their own internal logic . Liszt could not have hoped to resolve this apparent con-tradiction without the major change in lifestyle he embarked on in 1848 . That year, he retired from public concertizing as a pianist and accepted the post of kapellmeister at the small Ger-man court of Weimar . A decade of intense compositional work began, resulting in the completion of many old projects and even more new ones, including the cycle of symphonic poems, the grandiose B-minor sonata for piano, and the published piano concertos . Throughout their long gestation, the two concertos fol-lowed strongly divergent evolutionary paths, and each has a dis-tinct personality . Conventional wisdom calls No . 1 more heroic and No . 2 more lyrical, but those characterizations apply to the respective openings better than they do to the two concertos on the whole . Liszt’s solution to the dilemma between Romantic freedom and Classical balance was in a method later known as motivic transformation . Expanding upon practices found in the works of Beethoven and Schubert (among others), Liszt devised ways in which a single melodic or harmonic idea could be made to change its character from lyrical to playful, dramatic, or mar-tial, and more . The frequent alternation between characters — set off by major changes in tempo, key, and orchestration — make simple labelling, like those mentioned above, rather

problematic . Both concertos are in one movement but contain numer-ous shorter sections, played together without pause . In both works, the outlines of a classical four-movement form are read-ily discernible, as some of the character variations are modelled after symphonic slow movements or scherzos . The second concerto’s main idea, to be transformed in the course of the work, is stated at the very beginning by the wood-winds and immediately repeated by the piano . It combines a lyrical, singing quality with some fairly unusual accompanying harmonies . This idea is contrasted with a more energetic and rhythmical second subject that evolves into a section (marked Allegro agitato assai) containing the first full-force passage in-volving the entire orchestra . This second subject, like the first, undergoes some motivic transformation and reappears thor-oughly tamed as an expressive string melody, preparing the return of the main theme as a quintessentially romantic cello solo, accompanied by the piano . The subsequent Allegro deciso functions as a develop-ment section where both subjects are taken up simultaneously . The last portion of the concerto, as in many works by Liszt from this period, is a triumphal march . (It has been said that Liszt’s companion during the Weimar years, Princess Carolyne Sayn-Wittgenstein, favored endings of this kind .) The march section in the Second Piano Concerto incorporates some contrasting episodes, such as a final lyrical piano solo and a scherzo-like section marked Allegro animato . But the final word belongs to the march, growing ever louder and faster to the brilliant end-ing .

The earliest sketches for this Piano Concerto in A major date from September 1839, but Liszt did not com-plete it until 1849. He subse-quently revised the concerto extensively in 1853, 1857, and 1861. The first performance took place on January 7, 1857, in Weimar; Liszt con-ducted, and one of his pupils, Hans von Bronsart, played the solo part. The concerto was published in 1863, with a dedication to Bronsart. The first performance in the United States was given on October 5, 1870, in Boston. This concerto runs about 20 minutes in performance. Liszt scored it for 3 flutes (third doubling piccolo), 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bas-soons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, cymbals, and strings, plus solo piano. The Cleveland Orchestra first performed Liszt’s Piano Concerto No. 2 in May 1933, under Rudolph Ringwall’s direction with Charles Leedy at the piano.

D U R I N G H I S L I F E T I M E , a majority of Mahler’s fame and for-tune came from his great skill as a conductor . Following a few short years of apprenticeship among the provincial opera houses of Europe, he quickly emerged as one of the foremost conduc-tors of his time — and eventually became music director of the Vienna State Opera and conductor of the Vienna Philharmonic, and then chief conductor in New York at the Metropolitan Opera and the New York Philharmonic . It took the world far longer to accept Mahler’s genius as a composer . Indeed, a number of his late works were not pre-miered until after his death — and it was well into the second half of the 20th century before his symphonies became standard fare at concerts throughout the world . The First Symphony is a product of Mahler’s “wander-ing years” as a young composer . Like the hero of his first great song cycle, Songs of a Wayfarer, he was himself a “wayfarer” in the 1880s, moving from city to city and from conducting job to conducting job until finally, in 1888, he landed his first impor-tant post as director of the Royal Opera in Budapest at the age of 28 . Mahler’s outward success as a conductor, however, did not translate into understanding for his First Symphony, which was especially poorly received at its early performances . Au-diences in Budapest (1889), Hamburg and Weimar (1893), and Vienna (1900) were equally bewildered by what they heard as total musical chaos and an unacceptable mixture of conflicting emotions and ideas . This may be surprising to us today, given the great popularity of Mahler’s music in our time, but 100 years ago Mahler’s departures from classical form were too great — or too unexpected — for his contemporaries to grasp hold of immediately . Other composers had written masterpieces in their twenties, but few had been so independent from their models as Mahler . As the composer himself once remarked, Beethoven had started out as a Mozartian composer and Wagner as a follower of Weber and Meyerbeer; but he, Mahler, “had been condemned by a cruel fate to being himself from the start.” To Mahler — as to Beethoven before him — symphony was a form of drama . In later years, he was to speak about the universality of the symphony and the

necessity for it “to embrace everything.” This heaven-storming attitude is already evident in the First Symphony . It accounts in no small part for the difficulties encountered by Mahler during the work’s genesis, both before and after the Budapest premiere in 1889 . The first performance of this work was given under the title “Symphonic Poem in Two Parts” (with five movements grouped together into two halves) . This title alluded to the existence of a literary or dramatic inspiration, but Mahler did not reveal the source . When the symphony was performed again in 1893, Mahler gave it a new title, “Titan,” after a novel by a German Romantic writer named Jean Paul (1763-1825) . After 1896, however, he removed the title and arranged the movements as we know them today (eliminating one) . Mahler also withdrew the story-like ex- planations of the symphony’s program that he had written — and subsequently disavowed all such programmatic discussions of his later symphonies . Mahler was all too aware of the dangers inherent in such commentaries, for they rarely do justice to the music and, in addition, they often create a false impression that they actually explain what is “happening” during the symphony’s music . The so-called “programs” that he did write can perhaps best be under-stood as attempts on Mahler’s part to verbal-ize — often after the fact — the kind of emotional sensibilities that the music evoked in his mind while composing . In fact, the real “story” in this symphony is how far Mahler went in expanding conventional symphonic forms to produce a complex and monumental work . The symphony’s first movement utilizes the basic melo-dy of one of Mahler’s early songs, from his Songs of a Wayfarer group . This song, “Ging heut’ morgens übers Feld” (“I Walked This Morning Through the Field”), depicts a happy summer morn-ing with flowers blooming and birds singing . From this, and other writings by Mahler about the symphony, we understand that the entire movement can be seen to describe the gradual awakening of spring . We hear the musical interval of a perfect fourth (Mahler called it “a sound of nature” in the score) — and

everything grows out of this one interval, like a tree from a small seed . Even the call of the cuckoo bird, evoked by the clarinet, is a perfect fourth (although real cuckoos sing an interval closer to a third) . The second movement is based on the Austrian country dance called the Ländler, and is one of many Mahlerian move-ments inspired by this type of dance . A simple tune, rather un-assuming in itself, is played with great rhythmic energy, and is soon taken up by the full orchestra, with a large brass section
comprising seven horns and four trumpets, and with the tempo marking “Wild .” Mahler called the third movement by several different titles, including “À la pompes funèbres” (“In the Manner of a Funeral March”) and “Funeral March in Callot’s Manner” (Jacques Callot was a 17th-century French engraver whose satirical etch-ings anticipate those of Goya by a century) . The immediate inspiration came from a then-popular woodcut (shown on opposite page) by Moritz von Schwind called The Huntsman’s Funeral, in which the hunter is buried by the animals of the forest . The first audiences had much trouble with this movement’s somewhat odd structure and form, but they certainly recognized the popular “Frère Jacques” melody . The “alienation” of this familiar tune played here in the minor mode yields a spicy mixture of humor, tragedy, mystery, and irony . This grotesque funeral march evolves into an openly parodistic section whose unabashedly
schmaltzy themes, played by oboes and trumpets, are reminiscent of Eastern European Jewish klezmer folk music . The melodies of two more of Mahler’s Wayfarer songs (“By the Road Stands a Linden Tree” and “My Sweetheart’s Two Blue Eyes”) are juxta-posed against this material, creating an interesting atmosphere of contrast that is at times painfully nostalgic . A more subdued recapitulation of the “Frère Jacques” tune and the klezmer ma-terial ends this unusual movement . The fourth-movement Finale, which follows the funer-al march without a pause, is the longest and most complex movement in the symphony . Like the last movements of many earlier symphonies, it represents a progression from tragedy to triumph, but here the contrasts between the various emo-

tions are exceptionally polarized . The fabric of this movement includes a lyrical second theme that — as in several of Mahler’s later symphonies — seems to introduce us to a completely dif-ferent world . There are also exuberant climaxes followed by relapses into despair, plus numerous recurrences of materials from the first movement . Finally, the work ends in a radiant D-major coda proclaiming a final victory .

The Huntsman’s Funeral, a19th-century woodcut by Moritz von Schwind, which helped inspire the third movement of Mahler’s First Symphony.
Mahler’s first sketches of what was to become the First Symphony probably date from 1884 or 1885. The actual com-position took place largely in February and March 1888. The first performance, under the title “Symphonic Poem in Two Parts,” was given on November 20, 1889, in Budapest, with Mahler conducting. At the second performance (Hamburg, October 27, 1893), the work was renamed “Titan, Tone-Poem in the Form of a Symphony.” In 1896, Mahler discarded the second of the work’s five movements (“Blumine”), and the four-movement “Symphony in D major” was performed in Berlin on March 16, 1896. Mahler revised the work further in 1906-07. He conducted the first performances in the United States on December 16, 1909, with the New York Philharmonic.
This symphony runs about 50 minutes in performance. Mahler scored it for 4 flutes (third and fourth doubling piccolo), 4 oboes (third doubling english horn), 4 clarinets (third doubling bass clarinet and E-flat clarinet, fourth doubling E-flat clarinet), 3 bassoons (third doubling contrabassoon), 7 horns, 4 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, 2 sets of timpani, harp, percussion (triangle, cymbals, bass drum, tam-tam), and strings. Mahler’s Symphony No. 1 was first presented in Cleveland four years before the founding of The Cleveland Orchestra, on December 15, 1914, performed by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra conducted by Frederick Stock. The Cleveland Orch-estra first played it in 1942, under the direction of Artur Rodzinski.

The Cleveland OrchestraUnder the leadership of Music Director Franz Welser-Möst, The Cleveland Orchestra has become one of the most sought-after performing ensembles in the world, set-ting standards of artistic excellence, creative programming, and community engage-ment . In July 2015, the New York Times declared it “the best in America .” The strong and ongoing financial support of the ensemble’s home region is driving the Orches-tra forward with renewed energy and focus, increasing the number of young people attending concerts, and bringing fresh attention to the Orchestra’s legendary sound and committed programming . The Cleveland Orchestra has a long and distinguished recording and broadcast history . A series of DVD and CD recordings under the direction of Mr . Welser- Möst continues to add to an extensive and widely praised cata-log of audio recordings made during the tenures of the ensemble’s earlier music directors . In addition, Cleve-land Orchestra concerts are heard in syndication each season on radio sta-tions throughout North America and Europe . The Cleveland Orchestra was founded in 1918 by a group of local citizens intent on creating an ensem-ble worthy of joining America’s top rank of symphony orchestras . Over the next decades, the Orchestra grew from a fine regional organization to one of the most admired symphonic ensembles in the world . Seven mu-sic directors (Nikolai Soko loff, 1918–1933; Artur Rodzinski, 1933–1943; Erich Leins-dorf, 1943–1946; George Szell, 1946–1970; Lorin Maazel, 1972–1982; Christoph von Dohnányi, 1984–2002; and Franz Welser-Möst, since 2002) have guided and shaped the ensemble’s growth and sound . Touring performances throughout the United States and, beginning in 1957, to Europe and across the globe have confirmed Cleve-land’s place among the world’s top orchestras . Today, touring, residencies, radio broadcasts, and recordings provide access to the Orchestra’s music-making to a broad and loyal constituency around the world .

“The sellout audience was there for . . . the Ninth Symphony of Beethoven. The Ninth retains an enormous power to be an unforgettable event. . . . And The Cleveland Orchestra and Giancarlo Guerrero gave us a zesty, vibrant traversal of this iconic score. Guerrero’s enthusiasm is plain to see and feel, and his conception of the symphony had a compelling forward motion. “
