Perspectives from the Executive Director

7Severance Hall 2013-14 7

October 2013 I am pleased to welcome you to this week’s concerts. The season is off to an exciting start — with a major youth movement under-way at Severance Hall as we build the youngest audience of any orchestra in the United States. In the fi rst month of classical concerts this season, over 20% of our audiences have been students! Last year, more than 13,000 stu-

dents purchased discounted tickets for concerts at Severance Hall. And this year, we are well on the way to surpassing that record achievement. Our Student Frequent Fan Card has grown to include over 1,100 members for 2013-14, and an all-time high of 6,000 area students have already signed up for the Student Advantage Program this season. We honored these new young fans with a special Student Appreciation Week, October 10-13, with specially priced tickets and an after-concert party. Jesse Rosen, president of the League of American Orchestras, writing last month on the Huffi ngton Post website, praised The Cleveland Orchestra's eff orts to attract new listen-ers. After attending the season's opening program at Severance Hall in September, he wrote that the Orchestra is “well on its way” toward its “audacious” goal of developing the youngest orchestra audience. “The vibe in the hall was fantastic,” he wrote. None of this would be possible without the support of our donors. Our youth and stu-dent programs are funded through the Alexander and Sarah Cutler Fund for Student Audiences, and through The Cleveland Orchestra’s Center for Future Audiences, cre-ated with a $20 million lead endowment gift from the Maltz Family Foundation. These generous contributions reduce the price of admission for a new generation of audience members to enjoy the fi nest orchestral music in the world. To keep The Cleveland Orchestra vital, our focus must always be on tomorrow, toward a second century of changing lives through the power of music. Therefore, as our audi-ence gets younger and younger, Franz Welser-Möst and I want to convey our sincere ap-preciation to the donors for their visionary generosity, to the staff who work diligently to make the vision a reality, and to enthusiastic students in the audience, tonight and every night, for helping to secure the future of this great orchestra.

P.S. Included in this fall’s elections is Issue 1, a replacement levy for services to our com-munity's most vulnerable citizens through Cuyahoga County Health and Human Servic-es. This funding helps ensure a safety net across our community for children, families, and seniors. Every vote can make a critical diff erence in this election.

Perspectives

I N P e r F O r m A N C e S A t h O m e and around the globe, The Cleveland Orchestra remains Northeast Ohio’s most visible international ambassador and one of the most soughtafter performing ensembles in the world. In concerts at its winter home at Severance Hall and at each summer’s Blossom Music Festival, in residencies from Miami to Vienna, and on tour around the world, The Cleveland Orchestra sets standards of artistic excellence, creative programming, and active community engagement. With the 201314 season, Franz WelserMöst enters his twelfth year leading the ensemble, with a commitment extending to the Orchestra’s centennial in 2018. This artistic partnership continues to move the ensemble forward through a series of new and ongoing initiatives, including:

expansion of education and community programs in Northeast Ohio to feature music as an integral and regular part of everyday life for more people, including the launch this past spring of an “At Home” neighborhood residency program that brings The Cleveland Orchestra to a single neighborhood or town

for an intensive week of special activities and performances, as well as the broadening 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 financial base — including ongoing residencies

at the Vienna Musik verein (the first 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 effort 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 demonstrated results at Severance Hall and Blossom;

a variety of new concert offerings (including KeyBank Fridays@7 and Celebrity 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 ongoing collaborations with Chicago’s Joffrey 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 appearances at Carnegie Hall;

ongoing recording activities, including new releases under the direction of Franz WelserMöst, Mitsuko Uchida, and Pierre Boulez, as well as a series of acclaimed DVD concert presentations of symphonies by Anton Bruckner led by WelserMöst.

The 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 orchestras. Over the ensuing decades, the Orchestra quickly grew from a fine regional organization to being one of the most admired symphony orchestras in the world. The 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 intimate acoustic environment in which to develop and refine the Orchestra’s artistry. Yearround performances became a reality in 1968 with the opening of Blossom Music Center, one of the most beautiful and acoustically admired outdoor concert facilities 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 WelserMöst’s twelfth year as music director of The Cleveland Orchestra, with a longterm commitment extending to the Orchestra’s centennial in 2018. Under his direction, the Orchestra is acclaimed for its continuing 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 historic championship of new composers through commissions and premieres, and has reestablished itself as an important operatic ensemble. Concurrently with his post in Cleveland, Mr. WelserMöst is general music director of the Vienna State Opera. With a committed focus on music education in Northeast Ohio, Franz WelserMöst has taken The Cleveland Orchestra back into public schools with performances in collaboration with the Cleveland Metropolitan School District. Mr. WelserMöst’s championship of community musicmaking expands upon his active participation in educational programs and collaborative programming, including the Cleveland Orchestra Youth Orchestra and partnerships with music conservatories, universities, and other arts institutions across Northeast Ohio. Under Mr. WelserMöst’s leadership, The 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 five soldout performances of a staged production of Dvořák’s opera Rusalka. In the United States, Mr. WelserMöst has established an annual multiweek 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, The Cleveland Orchestra has performed fourteen world and fifteen United States premieres under Franz WelserMöst’s direction. Through 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 Festival and Carnegie Hall. In addition, the Daniel R. Lewis Young Composer Fellow program has brought new voices to the repertoire, including Pintscher, MarcAndré Dalbavie, Susan Botti, Julian Anderson, Johannes Maria Staud, Jörg Widmann, Sean Shepherd, and Ryan Wigglesworth. Franz WelserMöst has led a series of opera performances during his tenure

in Cleveland, reestablishing the Orchestra as an important operatic ensemble. Following six seasons of operainconcert presentations, he brought fully staged opera back to Severance Hall with a threeseason cycle of Zurich Opera productions of the MozartDa 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 madeforCleveland production of Leoš Janáček’s The Cunning Little Vixen to Northeast Ohio. Franz WelserMöst became general music director of the Vienna State Opera in 2010. His long partnership with the company has included acclaimed performances of Tristan and Isol-de, a new production of Wagner’s Ring cycle with stage director

SvenEric Bechtolf, and critically praised new productions of Hindemith’s Cardillac and Janáček’s Katya Kabanova and From the House of the Dead. During the 201314 season, his Vienna schedule includes a new production of Puccini’s The 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. WelserMöst also maintains an ongoing relationship with the Vienna Philharmonic. Recent performances with the Philharmonic include appearances in concert 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 decadelong tenure with the Zurich Opera, culminating in three seasons as general music director (200508), Mr. WelserMöst led the company in more than 40 new productions. Franz WelserMöst’s recordings and videos have won major awards, including the Gramophone Award, Diapason d’Or, Japanese Record Academy Award, and two Grammy nominations. With The Cleveland Orchestra, he has created DVD recordings of live performances of five of Bruckner’s symphonies, presented in three acoustically distinctive venues (the Abbey of St. Florian in Austria, Vienna’s Musikverein, and Severance Hall). With Cleveland, he has also released a recording of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony as well as an allWagner album featuring soprano Measha Brueggergosman. DVD releases on the EMI label have included Mr. WelserMöst leading Zurich Opera productions of The Marriage of Figaro, Così fan tutte, Don Giovanni, Der Rosenkavalier, Fierrabras, and Peter Grimes. For his talents and dedication, Mr. WelserMöst has received honors that include recognition from the Western Law Center for Disability Rights, honorary 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 Society of America. He is the coauthor of Cadences: Observations and Conversations, published in a German edition in 2007.

Orchestra News

The Cleveland Orchestra explores the music, times, and politics of two of western music’s most profound and controversial composers in “Fate and Freedom: Music of Beethoven and Shostakovich,” October 22-26 . The Festival — featuring orchestra concerts, film screenings, pre-film and pre-concert talks, and a chamber music performance by members of The Cleve-land Orchestra — is presented in partnership with the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Cleveland Institute of Art Cinematheque . Music Director Franz Welser-Möst con-ceived the Festival to look more closely at land-mark symphonies by Beethoven and Shostako-vich and to provide context around their cre-ation, while examining the ever-relevant themes of personal and societal freedom they express . “Beethoven and Shostakovich were very political composers,” says Welser-Möst . “Their music was written to express the feeling of the times they lived in — there were new feelings about how to live . Beethoven’s Third Symphony was the first big musical and philosophical statement by a composer about what freedom can mean, both individually and collectively . Shostakovich lived under a suppressive regime . His symphonies represent personal despair . The symphonies of Beethoven and Shostakovich can teach us so much about our lives .” In a unique juxtaposition, Welser-Möst leads three distinct Cleveland Orchestra con-certs on three consecutive evenings, pairing Beethoven Symphonies Nos . 3, 4, and 5 with Shostakovich Symphonies Nos . 6, 8, and 10, respectively, on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, October 24-26 . Insight into the music will be provided in a pre-concert interview with Franz Welser-Möst on Thursday, October 24, and in a pre-concert talk with guest speaker Frank J . Oteri (New Music USA’s composer advocate and the senior editor of NewMusicBox) and rebecca Mitchell (visiting

The Eric & Jane Nord Family Fund has pledged a gift of $2 .5 million to sustain The Cleveland Orchestra’s education programming for students of all ages across Northeast Ohio . The contribution is one of the largest the Or-chestra has received to date for education . The gift also supports the Sound for the Centennial Campaign, the Orchestra’s ten-year comprehen-sive campaign to increase the endowment and grow the Annual Fund . “This generous endowment gift from the Nord Family Fund helps to ensure that music edu-cation and community engagement programs remain available for future generations,“ said Franz Welser-Möst . “You can’t take it for granted anymore that young people are exposed to great art, so we have to reach out. . . . We want to be present in the schools, in the lives of Clevelanders, so they not only experience the joy of music, but

also that we become a part of their lives.” Since 1918, the Orchestra has introduced more than four million Cleveland-area schoolchildren to symphonic music . The Eric & Jane Nord Family Fund is con-tributing a total of $250,000 toward annual operating costs associated with delivering education and community programs, and has pledged $2 .25 million to create an endowment fund . The gift follows major grant awards this year from The Cleveland Foundation, George Gund Foundation, John S . and James L . Knight Foundation, Kulas Foundation, Andrew W . Mel-lon Foundation, and John P . Murphy Founda-tion . The Cleveland Orchestra’s Sound for the Centennial Campaign is building the Orchestra’s endowment through its centennial in 2018, while securing broad-based annual supportfrom across Northeast Ohio .

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 significantly expanded its “Under 18s Free” program for the 2013-14 season at Severance Hall — to include forty-six concerts from Sep-tember to May, an increase from just fourteen “Under 18s Free” concerts in the 2012-13 sea-son . “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 Concert Series, PNC Musical rainbows, Cleveland Orchestra youth Orchestra and youth Chorus concerts, as well as The Cleve-land Orchestra’s Friday morning and evening concerts and Sunday 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 offers 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” offer .) Indi-vidual free tickets for Severance Hall concerts for this program must be purchased through the Severance Hall Ticket Office; series pur-chases can be made online beginning later this month .

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 filmed 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 first 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 Bruck-ner 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 five 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 five Bruckner DvDs to date . Founded in Munich in 1977, Clasart is part of the Tele München Group . The Cleveland Orchestra extends special thanks to raiffeisenlandesbank Oberösterreich and Tele München Group for their ongoing support for electronic media projects .

The Cleveland Orchestra family extends gratitude and extraordinary best wishes to Judith Diehl, who retired as Severance Hall house manager at the end of September . While deftly managing the Orchestra’s largest department of volunteers and part-time staff, Judith has run countless laps around Sever-ance Hall, always with a smile and ever toward creating the best possible patron experience — across countless concerts, graduations, and special events . Judith is the author of the Orchestra’s first Front of House Personnel Hand-book . “The love and respect Judith has for The Cleveland Orchestra and Severance Hall are evident in everything she does,” says Mary Ann Makee, director of facilities . “Her dedication over the past sixteen years, and her investment of time and thought in important initiatives such as the

Severance Hall Ameri-cans with Disabilities Committee, have been extraordinary.” Judith and her husband, George, are world travelers — and have enjoyed experi-encing The Cleveland Orchestra in concert halls across Europe (where Judith exam-ines the front-of-house staffing and services with a careful eye) . She was a professional dancer earlier in her career, and helps raise money for the Yes . . . I Can(!) Dance program at the JCC for people with Parkinson’s disease . Join us in a big round of applause for Judith Diehl!

Orchestra announces “At Home” neighborhood residency in Lakewood for May 2014 The Cleveland Orchestra and Lakewood have announced a new partnership to present the Orch-estra’s next “At Home” neighbor-hood residency in May 2014. The centerpiece of this week of activities, education programs, and public performances will be a free Cleve-land Orchestra concert at the Civic Audito-rium in Lakewood on Saturday evening, May 24. The concert will be recorded for a delayed broadcast on WVIZ/PBS ideastream, and a radio broadcast on WCLV 104.9. The television broadcast will 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.

T H I S W E E K ’ S P R O G R A M off ers three musical works from a century-and-a-half of changing geographic tumult and politics (and sounds) of Central Europe. Th e three composers represent dis-tinct (and distinctive) moments in the core development of West-ern classical music, within the context of the Hapsburg Empire that ruled portions of Middle Europe across much of four centuries. Th e evening concerts begin with one of many symphonies by Franz Joseph Haydn, oft en called the “father of the symphony” for his work in evolving a grouping of short pieces into a unifi ed form of grand musical statement. Here, however, we hear a middlework in that evolution, written in 1774 during his many years as composer-in-residence for a music-loving Hapsburg noble. Th e re-sult is merely the collecting together of some fun-fi lled and melodious music that Haydn wrote to accompany a humorous play. Yet, as a symphony, it works splen-didly — and became the most oft en per-formed of Haydn’s symphonies during his lifetime. Next is a too-rarely played tone poem by Antonín Dvořák. Created in 1896 in the last decade of this composer’s life, it shows the clear melding of his mu-sical duality — between Czech folk and Germanic symphonic traditions. Its story is illuminated from a Czech tale of love lost and found, with gruesome and wonderous touches. Th e concerts conclude with a “rhapsody for orchestra” by the Czech-Moravian composer LeoŠ Janáček. Written in 1915-18, Taras Bulba portrays three big moments in the life of a Russian-Cos-sack warrior (in Janáček’s mind a heroic fi gure in a larger pan-Slavic movement for national identity). Let this music wash over you, in power, poignancy, and passionate intensity. —Eric Sellen

Christopher TheofanidisOctober 31-November 3Kulas Musical Arts Bldg., 96 Front St., Berea

The BW Conservatory of Music welcomes acclaimed composer Christopher Theofanidis to the biennial 2013 FOCUS Festival for a weeklong residency that concludes with a series of free concerts.

Theofanidis’ music has been described by The New York Times as “lyrical, exotic soul-searching.” His works have been performed by leading orchestras around the world, including the London Symphony, the New York Philharmonic, the Moscow Soloists and the National Symphony, as well as the Symphonies of Atlanta, Baltimore, St. Louis and many more. Theofanidis also served as Composer of the Year for the Pittsburgh Symphony during its 2006-2007 Season. In 2007 Theofanidis was nominated for a Grammy for best composition for his work The Here and Now, based on poetry of Rumi. His orchestra concert work, Rainbow Body, has been one of the most performed new orchestral works of the decade. The Boston Globe praised Rainbow Body as, “a pageant of orchestral color, some of it deliciously subtle, much of it unabashedly joyful.” Rainbow Body is on the FOCUS program along with the Ohio Premiere of his Marimba Concerto and a choral performance of Messages to Myself.

39Severance Hall 2013-14 About the Music

t h e d e v e l O P m e N t of symphonic form toward theatrical ends — long before the notion of program music came into its own as a genre, of tone poems and storylines — can be traced back to the height of the Hapsburg Empire. Joseph Haydn is often called the “father of the symphony.” But as Kapellmeister to the Esterházy Court from 176690, he was charged with writing everything from religious music to opera. The new palace of Eszterháza (in modernday Hungary), where Nikolaus Esterházy would spend up to ten months a year, possessed its own opera house, marionette theater, and much more. Haydn himself enjoyed a fourroom suite. The isolated environment paradoxically provided him with tremendous creative freedom. “My Prince was satisfied with all my works,” the composer said. “No one in my vicinity could make me lose confidence in myself or bother me. And so I had to become origi-nal.” Over Haydn’s years of service, the resident ensemble expanded, from at times sixteen players in the 1760s to as many as twentyfour in the 1780s. These numbers paled in comparison to the orchestras of up to sixtyfive Haydn would later encounter in travels to London and Paris, but nevertheless gave the composer growing forces with which to experiment. While Italian opera dominated the court, Esterházy also took to mounting plays every day for six months of the year. Haydn was responsible for finding or composing music overtures and entr’actes. In 1772, the prince recruited the famous theater troupe of Karl Wahr, who introduced works including Shakespeare’s Hamlet and Goethe’s GÖtz von Berlichingen. While evidence suggests that Haydn wrote incidental music for several of these productions, and then reworked these materials as symphonies, the only example that has survived is a score composed in 1774 for Die Zerstreute, the German version of a play by the 17thcentury French dramatist JeanFrançois Regnard. The stage work is a comedy of manners in which the Parisian Madame Grognac tries to marry off her daughter, Isabelle, to the daydreamer, Leander. Meanwhile, Isabelle loves the hedonist Chevalier, and Leander the Chevalier’s sister, Clarice. Haydn provided an overture, four entr’actes, and finale — a complete set of music for the fiveact play. These were then

assembled as the Symphony No. 60, nicknamed “Il distratto” (meaning “the distracted”). In this work, Haydn subtly pushes the boundaries of classical convention to convey the story’s dramatic interactions. The opening movement is unmistakably an overture, ushered in by a formulaic descent onto the tonic of C major. After a fast section that sets the scene for the bustling comedy with forwardmoving staccato melodies, the second theme is extended with the indication perdendosi (“losing itself”), as if to portray the distracted character of Leander, according to Haydn scholar Elaine Sisman. The composer also shows his own flair for comedy with a quote from the opening theme of his earlier “Farewell” Symphony (No. 45) — dedicated to the court musicians who longed to return home and see their spouses — just as the music modulates briefly into the parallel key of A minor. The following Andante movement’s juxtaposition of a pleading string motif and a haughty fanfare in the oboes and horns might allude to the struggle between Madame Grognac and Isabelle. In a brilliant stroke, Haydn builds a menuet into development section, which Sisman has interpreted as a paro

“An afternoon of entertaining talk and exhilarating music.” – The Washington Post


Haydn wrote this Symphony in C major in 1774, combin-ing together a group of musi-cal pieces he had composed as incidental music for a performance of the play Die Zerstreute (meaning “The Scattered” or “The Distract-ed”), a German translation of the play Le Distrait by the 17th-century French drama-tist Jean-François Regnard. The play and the incidental music were presented at Prince Esterházy’s summer palace, and the symphony was probably also first performed by itself later that season. (It later became the most performed of any of Haydn’s symphonies during his lifetime, somewhat to the composer’s consterna-tion that newer and fresher scores were overlooked.) Haydn’s score for the inci-dental music includes the title Il distratto. This six-movement symphony runs about 25 minutes in performance. Haydn scored it for 2 oboes, 2 horns, 2 optional trumpets, timpani, and strings. The Cleveland Orchestra first played this symphony at a weekend of concerts at Severance Hall in 1973, led by Antal Dorati. More recently, Franz Welser-Möst led a series of performances in the autumn of 2002.

At a Glance

dy of the gallant Chevalier. Leander appears in the following movement with a motif of unison oboes and strings, scored in a sudden switch to C minor that is followed with a rising and falling staccato melody likely illustrating his inability to stay focused. This is also Haydn’s chance to play with the rhythmic conventions of the menuet. The subsequent Presto indicates that conflict has heated up with a racing theme that modulates into Eflat major. The brief appearance of an ominous, slowmoving melody in the strings likely represents the Chevalier’s first attempt to have Madame Grognac’s hand in a dance. The fifth movement opens with a lyrical theme over arpeggiated strings that resembles the opening to an aria. The oboes join the main melody, which turns minor just before a sudden trumpet fanfare, which may allude to an incident in the fourth act in which Leander misaddresses a love letter to Isabelle. The finale opens with a brief passage of triumphant Cmajor chords, only to be interrupted by a passage of the strings tuning their instruments. The Pressburger Zeitung interpreted the humorous touch as a portrayal of the absentminded bridegroom as he ties a knot in his handkerchief in order to remember his wedding. The music carries on to the inevitable resolution reuniting the lovers despite Madame Grognac’s protests.

A F t e r C O m P l e t I N G his last symphony, “From the New World” (now designated as No. 9) in 1893, Dvořák composed no more symphonies in the last ten years of his life. He turned his attention more to operas, three of which appeared in those years, and to symphonic poems, of which he wrote five in close succession in 189697. The first four, including The Golden Spin-ning Wheel, were based on the narrative, and often gruesome, folkballads by the Czech poet Karel Jaromir Erben (18111870). The last, A Hero’s Song, was of a different kind, representing a general image of heroism. It is surprising that Dvořák had not written symphonic poems before, because Liszt had shown how much could be done at least forty years earlier — compressing the expressive range of a symphony into a single movement and reaching out for the most romantic forms of expression without using words. French and Russian composers wrote symphonic poems in abundance, and in Bohemia both Smetana and Fibich had contributed a number of works to the genre, including Smetana’s strongly nationalist cycle of six symphonic poems, Má Vlast (“My Country”), completed in 1880. By the time Dvořák embarked on his first, The Water Goblin, in 1896, Richard Strauss had created a sensation with such pieces as Don Juan and Till Eulenspiegel, both with vivid action depicted in orchestral language. Dvořák too planned pieces with a story depicted in the music, and it is possible that he intended a set of six symphonic poems depicting Czech folk stories to match Smetana’s set of six historicalnational poems. The first three Erben symphonic poems were sketched in rapid succession in a little over two weeks between January 6 and 22, 1896. The orchestration took longer, about twelve weeks. But the three works — The Water Goblin, The Noon Witch, and The Golden Spinning Wheel — were finished in April and collectively labelled “First Series,” suggesting that a later group of three would follow. In fact, there was to be only one more Erben symphonic poem, The Wild Dove, composed later in 1896, with A Hero’s Song to follow in 1897. All three of the first group were privately performed in the Rudolfinum, Prague, on June 3, 1896, by the orchestra of the Prague Conservatory conducted by Antonín Bennewitz.

This was followed by public performances in October in London under Henry Wood’s direction. Dvořák devised themes for these works by setting certain lines of Erben’s poems to music, which are then played by the orchestra, not sung. It is, in fact, possible to show that certain themes in The Golden Spinning Wheel precisely match Erben’s verses. This contributes strongly to the folklike flavor of the work. The action is detailed — and important too — because what is happening is important to understanding the music. A king is riding in the forest (heralded by music suitable for riding and hunting). He knocks at a cottage door and is brought water by the young girl Dornička (violin solo). The king, entranced by her beauty, asks her to marry him (rapturous theme for the violins). He learns that her stepmother is away, so he returns next day (more riding music) and orders the stepmother to bring the girl to his castle. They set off, the evil stepmother represented by a short jerky phrase on the woodwinds. An orchestral buildup relates how stepmother and stepsister lay hold of Dornička, cutting off her legs and arms and cutting out her eyes, and leaving her dead on the path. The king is deceived into thinking the stepsister is his bride and greets her with pomp, and a wedding follows. Next comes a luscious love scene (with the harp), after which the king goes off to the wars. An abrupt change of key and pace takes place to show an old man in the forest, whose slow step is traced by the brass and timpani in solemn procession. He finds the body of Dornička and sends his boy to the castle with instructions to demand her legs back in return for a golden spinning wheel, her hands for a golden spindle, and her eyes for a golden distaff. Some birdlike chirrups in the flute “speak” the boy’s lines, and the false queen, dazzled by the golden gifts, makes the exchange. The old man restores Dornička’s limbs and brings her back to life with magic water. The king returns (horns and trumpets) and orders the queen to display her skill on the golden spinning wheel. As the wheel spins, it creaks out a song which reveals the hideous truth about Dornička. The king rushes off to the forest, finds his true bride and clasps her in an embrace (the same love music as with the other girl!) and they return to the castle for feasting and celebration.

About the Music

Dvořák composed his Zlatỳ kolovrat (“The Golden Spinning Wheel”) in 1896. The first performance was presented on June 3, 1896, by the Prague Conserva-tory orchestra, conducted by Antonín Bennewitz. The American premiere took place on January 1, 1897, with the Chicago Orchestra conducted by Theodore Thomas. This symphonic tone poem runs about 25 minutes in performance. Dvořák scored it for 2 flutes, piccolo, 2 oboes, english horn, 2 clari-nets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, percus-sion (bass drum, cymbals, triangle), harp, and strings. The Cleveland Orchestra is presenting The Golden Spinning Wheel for the first time with this weekend’s concerts.

taras bulba, Rhapsody for Orchestracomposed 1915-18

l e O Š J a n Á Č e k was thirteen years Dvořák’s junior, and the two were united by an interest in folk idioms and musical naturalism, not to mention their rural backgrounds. Yet political reality and instability made it difficult for Janáček to cling to his identity as a Moravian. The “National Revival,” which hoped to create a distinctive place for Czechs within the Germanic Hapsburg Empire, grew gradually into a panSlavic movement favoring independence. Already by the 1860s, Janáček was looking eastward for Slavic validation. He became a fervent Russophile, changing his name to Lev and giving Russian names to both his children. Russian literature, too, became a focus. His late operas Káta Kabanová and The House of the Dead, as well as the string quartet Kreutzer Sonata and the “Slavonic rhapsody” Taras Bulba, all found inspiration in 19thcentury Russian literature — a Russia that also had little to do with reality. The First World War, in which Czech soldiers fought against Russia on behalf of the Hapsburgs, intensified Janáček’s belief in a panSlavic movement that could liberate his homelands from the “Germans” he so detested. Janáček began his work on Taras Bulba, to a novella by Nikolai Gogol, in 1915, revising it three years later when the end of war and an independent Czech state were finally in sight. The setbacks of the Russian army aside, Janáček understood the protagonist — a 16thcentury Cossack captain on a crusade against Poland — as a prophet for the Slavic cause. “There is no fire nor suffering in the whole world which could break the strength of the Russian people,” he wrote. Just as in Gogol’s story, Janáček’s music manages to elicit sympathy for the warrior’s cause despite his ruthless actions. The opening tableau portrays the fate of Taras’s younger son, Andrij, killed on the battlefield by his own father after trying to rescue a woman with whom he once fell in love in Kiev. Taras’s second son, Ostap, is captured, tortured, and publicly executed in Warsaw. When Taras avenges himself, he is also seized and condemned to death at the stake. Just before he dies, he calls out to the fleeing Cossacks about how they can save themselves. Janáček’s symphonic work is driven by short motivic elements that coalesce into a mosaiclike but dramatically transparent structure. In “The Death of Andrij,” a longing english

horn melody represents his vision of the beautiful woman, while tolling bells and the redemptive chords of an organ depict — according to the composer — the prayers and anguish of the besieged. Ominous woodwind triplets suggest Andrij’s emotions as he wanders among the town’s starving inhabitants, while an impassioned oboe solo, echoed in the low strings, describes his love scene. A sense of urgency carries through the orchestra until militant trumpets and trombones announce Taras’s assault. The second movement, “The Death of Ostap,” enters with an ethereal timbre of flute, clarinet, and arpeggiated harp. A menacing, galloping motif emerges in the cellos and is tossed throughout the orchestra before becoming the bass line for a folklike tune in the clarinets. The dance that ensues, ushered in by the oboe, is a Polish mazur, representing the jubilant victory of Ostrap’s enemy. It is recurrently interrupted by brooding attacks in the horns, which send the violins scampering away. “The Prophecy and Death of Taras Bulba” builds omi-nously into another Polish dance, the krakowiak, with melodic foreshadowing in minor mode by the winds and the strings. In a sudden Presto section, the dance breaks out into major, cel-ebrating the capture of the protagonist. Taras’s dying vision for Russia emerges as the organ opens the way into eternity, with majestic octaves in the brass and a return of the tolling bells from the first movement that give way to a rapturous string melody.

Janáček composed his or-chestral rhapsody Taras Bul-ba between 1915 and 1918, although he had sketched some themes as early as 1905. The completed work was first performed on October 9, 1921, in the Czech city of Brno, with František Neumann conducting the Orchestra of the National Theater. The score was first published in 1927 in Prague. A new score was published in 1980 as part of the critical edition of Janáček’s com-plete works. This work runs just under 25 minutes in performance. Janáček scored it for 3 flutes and piccolo, 3 oboes and english horn, 2 clarinets and e-flat clarinet, 3 bassoons and contrabassoon, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion (chimes, triangle, snare drum, suspended cymbal), harp, organ, and strings. The Cleveland Orchestra first performed music from Janáček’s Taras Bulba when Robert Shaw led perfor-mances of the final move-ment at a pair of Severance Hall subscription concerts in November 1958. The first complete performance at Severance Hall took place in 1968 under the direction of Martin Turnovsky. The most recent performances were during the 2008-09 season, led by Kurt Masur.

Student attedance continuesto grow at Severance hall

As The Cleveland Orchestra’s 201314 season gets underway, more Student Advantage Members, Frequent Fan Card holders, Student Ambassadors, and student groups are contributing to the continued success of these programs. The Orchestra’s ongoing Student Advantage Program provides opportunities for students to attend concerts at Severance Hall and Blossom through discounted ticket offers. Membership is free to join and rewards members with discounted ticket purchases. For this season, a record 6,000 students have joined. The Student Frequent Fan Card was introduced a year ago with great success. The program is continuing to grow, with the number of Frequent Fan Card holders tripling so far this season over 201213. Priced at $50, the Fan Card offers students unlimited single tickets (one ticket per card holder) to weekly classical subscription concerts all season long. The Student Ambassador program is also growing. These young volunteers help to promote the Orchestra’s concert offerings 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 success toward generating participation and interest among young people. All of these programs are supported by The Cleveland Orchestra’s Center for Future Audiences, through the Alexander and Sarah Cutler Fund for Student Audiences. The 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.

t h e C e N t u ry t h At t r A N S P I r e d between the death of Ludwig van Beet hoven and the emergence of Dmitri Shostakovich as a composer was a time of transformative change — from the advent of electricity, recorded sound, and motion pictures to the unleashing of the destructive power of modern warfare, the globalization of the world, and an enlarging struggle for human rights, liberty, and freedoms. Even so, Beethoven and Shostakovich’s music and their shared outlook on humanity’s place in the world show a remarkable kinship. Beethoven and Shostakovich both began their compositional careers as child prodigies and were also formidable piano virtuosos. They both shared their most private thoughts in their string

Fate and Freedom


quartets, but made their most important public musical statements with their symphonies. In fact, both took the abstract instrumental genre of the symphony and used it to tell compelling narratives. For example, both composers created symphonies that attempted to sonically convey the concept of fate — perhaps most notably for Beethoven in his Fifth Symphony and for Shostakovich in his tragic Eighth Symphony, which he composed during the Second World War. (Both of these symphonies are among those being performed as part of The Cleveland Orchestra’s “Fate and Freedom” Festival, October 22-26.) Works such as these reveal that Beethoven and Shostakovich were consummate musical dramatists, yet opera proved to be something of a quagmire in both of their careers. The strained relationships both composers had with the politically powerful are also equally legendary — Beethoven’s disdain for authority and aristocracy perhaps best exemplified by his crossing out the dedication of his Third Symphony, the “Eroica” (or “heroic”), to Napoleon upon learning that that small man had declared himself an emperor; and Shostakovich’s runins with a dictator even more ruthless than Napoleon, Joseph Stalin. A curious correlation to Beethoven’s abandoned Eroica dedication is Shostakovich’s abortive attempt at creating a “Lenin Symphony,” which he described working on 1938. Such a symphony never materialized; in its place was the purely instrumental Sixth Symphony in 1939. (The Cleveland Orchestra pairs the Eroica with this Sixth Symphony on Thursday, October 24.) Beethoven and Shostakovich also both suffered from chronic poor health in their later years, yet their final compositions seem to transcend the vagaries of human existence. After their deaths, each was hailed as a champion for individual artistic freedom who triumphed despite often adverse personal conditions. Nowadays musicologists as well as avid fans are still attempting to find hidden meanings buried in their scores — such as the allusions to Freemasonry in Beethoven’s Fourth Symphony (performed on October 25) or secret autobiographical ciphers in Shostakovich’s Tenth Symphony (performed on October 26). But the parallels run much deeper than that. While Haydn and Mozart both hinted at it, Beethoven was the first composer to fully imbue the symphony with the same narrative and emotional heft as a novel, play, or epic poem. Shostakovich, while certainly not the only significant symphonist of his era, was among the few composers who remained steadfastly committed

to creating large musical statements in this medium at a time when most composers rejected the symphony as an anachronism. Shostakovich completed a total of fifteen symphonies over the course of nearly half a century. For Shostakovich, like many Soviet musicians, Beethoven’s music remained the preeminent role model — the greatest repertoire an instrumentalist or a conductor could interpret and the standard bearer for what music was to be. A bust of this key compositional hero was a fixture of Shostakovich’s writing studio. And, fittingly, the Soviet quartet that premiered nearly all of Shostakovich’s string quartets (13 of the 15) was named the Beethoven Quartet. So deep was the influence of Beethoven on the young Shostakovich that the central theme for his earliest multimovement orchestral work, the Theme and Variations in Bflat minor, Opus 3, which he composed at the age of 15, bears an uncanny resemblance to the most famous theme of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. Following Beethoven’s precedent in that monumental symphony, Shostakovich also added a chorus to the final movements of his Second and Third symphonies — although both of these early compositions take nascent Soviet patriotism to an almost unbearably propagandistic level. (There is, however, a later work that clearly echoes the pathos of Beethoven’s setting of Schiller’s paean to universal brotherhood, Shostakovich’s controversial Symphony No. 13, “Babi Yar,” a work which also sets the words of a major poet, Yevgeny Yevtushenko, an outspoken critic of injustice in the Soviet Union. But Shostakovich’s 13th Symphony, which was virtually banned in the Eastern Bloc for nearly a decade after its first performance and finally entered the repertoire after a copy of the score was smuggled into the West, is a far cry from an Ode to Joy; if anything, it is an Ode to Despair!)

d e S P I t e t h e d e e P C O N N e C t I O N S between these two composers, there are also some stark differences between Beethoven and Shostakovich which are equally fascinating. Beethoven was a lifelong bachelor whose romantic liaisons will forever be

shrouded in mystery; Shostakovich was married three times. Beethoven was notorious for his abrasiveness and never apologized; the castigated Shostakovich reinvented his compositional persona several times during his life to survive the cultural purges that Stalin unleashed and ultimately triumphed because of this — Shostakovich famously declared his masterful Fifth Symphony to be “a Soviet artist’s reply to just criticism” and the work was an instant sensation both at home and abroad and it remains so to this day. Perhaps most strikingly, cinema did not exist during Beethoven’s lifetime and writing music for movies was an important revenue stream for Shostakovich throughout his career — in fact his 35 film soundtracks dwarf the combined total of his number of symphonies and string quartets. Shostakovich’s film scores also allowed him greater freedom to experiment than he had most of the time with his music for the concert hall; several of his soundtracks include music featuring the theremin, an early electronic instrument that would become a hallmark of American horror and scifi movie scores years after Shostakovich pioneered its use in motion pictures. Beethoven, of course, did not live into the age of electricity and therefore could never have tinkered with a theremin. He did, however use a glass armonica (a musical curiosity that sounds similarly otherworldly) for the incidental music he composed for the 1814 production of Johann Friedrich Duncker’s play Leonore Prohaska, music that is rarely revived nowadays. During the weeklong Fate and Freedom Festival, The Cleveland Orchestra’s juxtaposition of some of the greatest works by Beethoven and Shostakovich — along with a rare screening of the 1929 silent film The New Babylon featuring Shostakovich’s very first film score — offers audiences a unique opportunity to reflect on how each of these composers responded to the central concerns of their respective eras and how their now timeless work continues to have a deep impact on all of us.

The lotus blossom is the symbol of the Heritage Society.

It represents eternal life and recognizes the permanent benefits

of legacy gifts to The Cleveland Orch-estra’s endowment. Said to be Elisabeth Severance’s favorite flower, the lotus is found as a decorative motif in nearly every public area of Severance Hall.

Legacy giving

The Cleveland Orchestra is an extraordinary engine of promotion and a justifiable source of great civic pride. Every year The Cleveland Orchestra draws a local, national and international audience to Severance Hall to hear

“the sound the world is talking about.”

We invite you to be a part of this amazing experience by advertising in the Severance Hall printed programs. It’s a smart way to put yourself in front of 150,000+ of northeast Ohio’s most influential consumers and business

decision-makers.

the Cleveland OrchestraCenter for Future Audiencesthe Clevel ANd OrChe StrA’s Center for Future Audiences was established to fund programs to develop new generations of audiences for Cleveland Orch estra concerts in Northeast Ohio. The Center was created in 2010 with a $20 million lead endowment gift from the Maltz Family Foundation. Centerfunded programs focus on addressing economic and geographic barriers to attending Cleveland Orch estra concerts at Severance Hall and Blossom Music

Center. Programs include research, introductory offers, targeted discounts, student ticket programs, and integrated use of new technologies. The goal is to create one of the youngest audiences of any symphony orchestra in the country. For additional information about these plans and pro-grams, call us at 2162317464.

2013 cleveland orchestra season program ad_Layout 1 7/24/13 3:12 PM Page 1

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 five 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 first 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 The Cleveland Orchestra since its opening on February 5, 1931. After that first concert, a Cleveland 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 Association, 19211936) and his wife, Elisabeth, donated most of the funds necessary to erect this magnificent building. Designed by Walker & Weeks, its elegant

Georgian exterior was constructed to harmonize with the classical architecture of other prominent buildings in the University Circle area. The interior of the building reflects a combination of design styles, including Art Deco, Egyptian Revival, Classicism, and Modernism. An extensive renovation, restoration, and expansion of the facility was completed in January 2000. In addition to serving as the home of The Cleveland Orchestra for concerts and rehearsals, the building is rented by a wide variety of local organizations and private citizens for performances, meetings, and gala events each year.

In the 1960s, Leon Fleisher performed in what are regarded among the finest record-ings of the Beethoven piano concertos —with The Cleveland Orchestra under the baton of George Szell . Now, for these one-of-a-kind concerts in Cleveland, Fleisher returns as conductor with a remarkable pia-nist and Cleveland favorite, Mitsuko Uchida, for not-to-be-missed performances of two of Beethoven’s towering concertos .

Mitsuko Uchida

At SeverANCe hAll . . .

Experience a week exploring the highly tempestuous and deeply emotional intermin-gling of music and politics . Music Director Franz Welser-Möst and The Cleveland Or-chestra take a fascinating look at two highly autobiographical composers, whose lives and careers were separated by over a century, yet whose works demonstrate how artists of two eras wrestled with themes of freedom, as well as personal and collective liberty and politics . The festival includes three concerts, plus two film screenings in partnership with the Cleve-land Museum of Art and the Cleveland Insti-tute of Art Cinematheque .
