Perspectivesfrom the Executive Director November 2012 Welcome to Severance Hall! Everyone in The Cleveland Orchestra family is pleased that you are here with us today. As you look around at your fellow audience members, there’s an increasing chance that you will see young people, especially students from some of Northeast Ohio’s many educational institutions. Two years ago, we established the Center for Future Audiences to fund programs to develop new generations of audiences for Cleveland Orchestra concerts in Northeast Ohio. The Center was created with a $20 million lead endowment gift from the Maltz Family Foundation. Our objective is to have one of youngest audiences of any symphony orchestra in the country. Since the beginning of this season, we have made huge strides toward that ambitious goal. In fact, the number of students attending Cleveland Orchestra concerts at Severance Hall has more than doubled over the same period last year. This year, we’ve had an average of more than 200 students at every evening subscription concert — on some nights, students have represented more than 20% of the crowd. This surge in student attendance is a result of the programs supported by the Center for Future Audiences, especially those funded by a $5 million endowment gift from Alexander and Sarah Cutler to encourage student attendance. We have a number of initiatives and promotions to attract students to Severance Hall. Two stand out: The introduction this season of a Student Frequent FanCard, which gives students flexibility and encourages frequency of attendance. Equally important, is our network of a dozen student ambassadors, representing five area colleges, who volunteer their time promoting student concertgoing and helping to create a vital social media presence around The Cleveland Orchestra. Our commitment to student attendance and a younger audience is part of a Cleveland Orchestra renaissance, as we commit to being ever more relevant to our hometown and ever more devoted to community service. Orchestra Gala 2012 Our annual fundraising Gala was held on Saturday, November 3, to raise funds in support of the Orchestra’s Education and Community Programs. Featuring The Cleveland Orchestra and virtuoso cellist Yo-Yo Ma, the event attracted a full house, including more than 400 generous donors who enjoyed a pre-concert reception and a wonderful post-concert dinner. The magical evening, which yielded almost $700,000, owes much to the leadership of Gala Chair Norma Lerner and Corporate Chair Beth Mooney. Please join me in thanking our chairs, along with the evening’s major sponsors, KeyBank, The Lerner Foundation, and Audrey and Albert Ratner.

CLEVELAND 1923

U N D E R T H E L E A D E R S H I P of Music Director Franz Welser-Möst, The Cleveland Orchestra has become one of the most sought-after performing ensembles in the world. In concerts at its winter home at Severance Hall and at each summer’s Blossom Festival, in residencies from Miami to Vienna, and on tour around the world, The Cleveland Orchestra sets standards of artistic excellence, creative programming, and community engagement. The partnership with Franz Welser-Möst, now in its eleventh season — and with a commitment to the Orchestra’s centennial in 2018 — has moved the ensemble forward with a series of new and ongoing initiatives, including:

the establishment of residencies around the world, fostering creative artistic growth and an expanded financial base, including an ongoing residency at the Vienna Musikverein (the first of its kind by an American orchestra); an ongoing residency in Florida, under the name Cleveland Orchestra Miami, involving an annual series of concerts and community activities, coupled with an expansive set of educational presentations and collaborations

About the Orchestra

The Cleveland Orchestra

(based on successful educational programs pioneered over the past nine decades at home in Cleveland); concert tours from coast to coast in the United States, including annual appearances at Carnegie Hall; regular concert tours to Europe (including biennial residencies at the Lucerne Festival) and Asia (including a residency at Tokyo’s Suntory Hall in 2010); ongoing recording activities, including new releases under the direction of Franz Welser-Möst, Mitsuko Uchida, and Pierre Boulez, as well as a series of DVD concert presentations of symphonies by Anton Bruckner; additional new residencies at Indiana University and at New York’s Lincoln Center Festival; an expanded offering of education and community programs in Northeast Ohio, designed to make music an integral and regular part of everyday life; the 2012-13 season includes a new neighborhood residency program that will feature a week of activities and performances in Cleveland’s Gordon Square Arts District; creative new artistic collaborations, including staged works and chamber music performances, with arts institutions in Northeast Ohio and in Miami; an array of new concert offerings (including Fridays@7 and Celebrity Series at Severance Hall as well as movie, themed, and family presentations at Blossom) to make a wider variety of concerts more available and affordable; a concentrated and ongoing effort to develop future generations of audiences for Cleveland Orchestra concerts in Northeast Ohio, through research, targeted discounts, social media offers and promotion, and student ticket programs; continuing and expanded educational partnerships with schools, colleges, and universities from across Northeast Ohio and in the Miami-Dade community; the return of ballet as a regular part of the Orchestra’s presentations, featuring performances by The Joffrey Ballet; the 2012-13 season includes the Orchestra’s first fully staged performances of Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker. 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. Year-round 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.

P H OTO BY D O N S N Y D E R

T H E 2 0 1 2 - 1 3 S E A S O N marks Franz Welser-Möst’s eleventh year as music director of The Cleveland Orchestra, with a long-term commitment extending to the Orchestra’s centennial in 2018. Under his direction, the Orchestra is acclaimed for its continuing artistic excellence, is enlarging and enhancing its community programming at home, 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 re-established itself as an important operatic ensemble. Concurrently with his post in Cleveland, Mr. Welser-Möst became general music director of the Vienna State Opera in September 2010. With a committed focus on music education in Northeast Ohio, Franz Welser-Möst has taken The Cleveland Orchestra back into public schools with performances in collaboration with the Cleveland Metropolitan School District. The initiative continues and expands upon Mr. Welser-Möst’s active participation in community concerts and educational programs, including the Cleveland Orchestra Youth Orchestra and partnerships with music conservatories and universities across Northeast Ohio. Under Mr. Welser-Möst’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 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 Orchestra residency in Florida under the name Cleveland Orchestra Miami and, in 2011, launched a new biennial 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 Welser-Möst’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, Marc-André Dalbavie, Susan Botti, Julian Anderson, Johannes Maria Staud, Jörg Widmann, and Sean Shepherd. Franz Welser-Möst has led a series of opera performances during his tenure

Music Director

in Cleveland, re-establishing the Orchestra as an important operatic ensemble. Following six seasons of opera-in-concert presentations, he brought fully staged opera back to Severance Hall with a three-season cycle of Zurich Opera productions of the MozartDa Ponte operas. He led concert performances of Strauss’s Salome at Severance Hall and at Carnegie Hall in May 2012. Franz Welser-Möst became general music director of the Vienna State Opera in 2010. His long partnership with the company has included acclaimed performances of Tristan and Isolde, 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 2012-13 season, his Vienna performances include Wagner’s Parsifal, Strauss’s Arabella and Ariadne auf Naxos, Puccini’s La Bohème, and Berg’s Wozzeck. Mr. Welser-Möst also maintains an ongoing relationship with the Vienna Philharmonic. Recent performances with the Philharmonic include appearances at the Lucerne Festival and Salzburg Festival, in Tokyo, and in concert at La Scala Milan, as well as leading the Philharmonic’s 2011 New Year’s Day concert, viewed by telecast in seventy countries worldwide; he will conduct the New Year’s Day concert again in 2013 and will also lead the Philharmonic in a series of concerts at New York’s Carnegie Hall in March 2013. Across a decade-long tenure with the Zurich Opera, culminating in three seasons as general music director (2005-08), Mr. Welser-Möst led the company in more than 40 new productions and numerous revivals. 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 The Cleveland Orchestra, he has created DVD recordings of live performances of Bruckner symphonies, presented in three accoustically 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 all-Wagner album featuring soprano Measha Brueggergosman. DVD releases on the EMI label have included Mr. Welser-Möst 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. Welser-Möst 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 co-author of Cadences: Observations and Conversations, published in a German edition in 2007.

The Cleveland Orchestra performs Tchaikovsky’s “The Nutcracker” with The Joffrey Ballet at PlayhouseSquare Five performances Nov 29 thru Dec 2

THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA

Tickets are selling fast for the holiday event of the season, The Cleveland Orchestra’s presentation of The Joffrey Ballet’s complete silver anniversary production of Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker. Five performances are being presented at PlayhouseSquare’s State Theatre next week. The production will be conducted by Tito Muñoz and marks the first time The Cleveland Orchestra has performed Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker in a fully-staged presentation. Conceived and originally directed in 1987 by Robert Joffrey, with choreographic contributions from Gerald Arpino, this production of The Nutcracker features more than 40 company dancers, 200 brilliant costumes, and larger-than-life scenery. The Chicago Sun-Times called the Joffrey’s Nutcracker “a grand showcase of classical technique that spotlights the particular talents of many of the company’s ensemble dancers,” the Chicagoist calls it “a first-class celebration of one of the greatest holiday productions ever,” and the Washington Post praised it as “a theatrical event of irresistible power.” The Cleveland cast of The Nutcracker includes sixty Northeast Ohio young dancers, selected by audition, dancing side-by-side with the Joffrey company. The Cleveland Orchestra Children’s Chorus, comprised of fift y members, also joins the performances to sing in the beautiful “Snow Scene.” “Our company looks forward to once again joining The Cleveland Orchestra” says Joffrey Ballet artistic director Ashley Wheater, “and in extending our wonderful partnership into a complete production. Our previous performances together at Blossom have included elements of a full ballet, but this time we’ll have all the sets, costumes, lighting, and the magnificent choreography of our founder Robert Joffrey.”

Cleveland Orchestra continues innovations in programming and community engagement New programs and expansion include neighborhood residency, ballet, free tickets, and school partnerships and performances

CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA THE CLEVELAND ORCHE

THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA

In the 2012-13 season, The Cleveland Orchestra continues its innovations in programming and community engagement, seeking to build on the success of recent initiatives. The coming season’s innovations include new program and audience development activities at Severance Hall, alongside expanded activities outside the concert hall. The Orchestra will venture even farther outside its University Circle home with new programs downtown and on Cleveland’s West Side. At PlayhouseSquare, the Orchestra will collaborate with The Joffrey Ballet, while the organization’s ground-breaking residency program, developed and refined by the Orchestra in cities including Vienna and Miami, will come home to Northeast Ohio with the launch of a new program of Neighborhood Residencies. The first annual Cleveland Orchestra Neighborhood Residency will take place in Gordon Square the week of May 13-19, 2013. Also this season, the initiative that brought the full Orchestra back into the schools in 2009 will continue and become a permanent part of the annual schedule thanks to a newly-created endowment fund, and a new partnership with Breakthrough Charter Schools begins in October 2012. Meanwhile, “Under 18s Free,” a program first established for the 2011 Blossom Festival, will come inside Severance Hall for selected concerts, and as the unique Fridays@7 Series enters its fourth season, a bold repertoire move sees world music migrating from the @fter-party entertainment to the main-stage concert with the Orchestra. The KeyBank Fridays@7 series opened on October 5 featuring the music of Stewart Copeland, founder and drummer of The Police, and a collaboration with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame & Museum. In announcing the new initiatives in August, Gary Hanson, executive director of The Cleveland Orchestra, said, “We want to build on the success of our many recent community engagement initiatives, and in the coming season we are further diversifying our schedule and

programs. Our goal is to be even more relevant to our community.” CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENCY The Cleveland Orchestra Neighborhood Residency is a new program to immerse the Orchestra in local communities with an intense schedule of performances and activities. The first of these annual residencies in Northeast Ohio takes place the week of May 13-19, 2013, in Gordon Square. The centerpieces of the Residency will be free Cleveland Orchestra concerts at St. Colman Church for neighborhood residents and students, and musicians will perform as soloists and in ensembles in non-traditional locations and in local schools. The Cleveland Orchestra Neighborhood Residency at Gordon Square is funded in part by the Machaskee Fund for Community Programming, an endowed fund created by Alex and Carol Machaskee. Sean Watterson, co-owner of the Happy Dog bar, restaurant, and music venue in Gordon Square, said, “We’re incredibly enthusiastic about the Orchestra coming to Gordon Square. We’re thrilled that people in our community will be able to experience their world-class performances at a series of events for all ages throughout the neighborhood. We’re proud to welcome the world to Gordon Square to join us for this unique experience.” HIGH SCHOOL PERFORMANCES PERMANENTLY ENDOWED The Cleveland Orchestra returned to performing in Cleveland high schools in 2009, after an absence of more than three decades. On Thursday, October 11, 2012, the Orchestra’s performance at Shaker Heights High School is the first to be supported by a newly established fund that permanently endows annual Cleveland Orchestra performances in area high schools. The Alfred Lerner In-School Performance Fund, a gift of $1 million from Mrs. Norma Lerner and The Lerner Foundation, will support concerts in high schools in perpetuity. Performances are being

The third of Mitsuko Uchida’s albums of Mozart concertos with The Cleveland Orchestra has been released — and is now available for purchase at the Cleveland Orchestra Store at Severance Hall. The album features Piano Concertos Nos. 9 and 21, recorded in live performances at Severance Hall. One of the previous discs from this collaboration received a Grammy Award in 2011. Reviews of this new album include these comments from Audiophile Audition: “Conducting Mozart concertos from the piano has a long and honored tradition, originating with the composer himself. . . . Uchida performs on a new Hamburg Steinway whose action remains uniformly light and resonant, especially as Uchida does not mince her dynamics. . . . We need only audition this fine collaboration to enjoy the scintillating energy of the outer movements [of Concerto No. 9] and the internal rigors of the Andantino. The last movement virtually bubbles with infectious wit and digital confidence. . . . [In Concerto No. 21] the give-andtake response between Uchida and the Cleveland strings and winds attractively beguiles us. Then, her seamless runs and arpeggios move inexorably to a bravura cadenza almost early Beethoven in its briefly pearly wit that rushes to a coda spread over three octaves. Superb!”

The Cleveland Orchestra’s season of Family Concerts began with a fun-filled program in late October with “Halloween Spooktacular III.” The series continues in 2013 with “Symphony Under the Sea” on Friday evening, March 8, led by conductor Robert Franz — including favorite musical numbers from Disney’s Little Mermaid. The series closes with “Fables, Fantasies, & Folklore” on Sunday afternoon, May 12, led by conductor Michael Butterman — in an exploration of music storytelling and fun. Intended for children ages 7 and older, the series is designed to introduce young people to classical music. The Halloween program included favorite musical hits and also featured a costume contest for audience members. The Orchestra musicians onstage also got into the “spirit” of the occasion with many theme-related outfits. In addition to each one-hour Orchestra concert, the Family Concert Series features free, pre-concert activities, including an “Instrument Discovery” in which children can try playing various instruments.

INTRODUCING THE PROGRAM

Familiar Romanticism THE T WO COMPOSERS

on this weekend’s program represent opposite ends of the Romantic era in music. Both wrote music filled with emotional feelings, swept in soaring melodies and lyrical details. Both lived full lives, although Chopin’s was noticeably shorter than Rachmaninoff’s. Both left their homelands, of Poland and Russia, never to return. The two works performed at this weekend’s concerts date from halfway through each man’s life — Chopin’s Second Piano Concerto from 1830 when the composer was just 20, Rachmaninoff’s Second Symphony from 1909 when he was 36. Chopin spent the rest of his short life devoting himself to works for solo piano. With the Second Symphony, Rachmaninoff found renewed vigor in his music writing and spent the next decade creating a string of works, well-loved and cherished by music lovers around the world — though few would surpass the popularity of this symphony. Both works have been belittled by some who want something more from music. But what can be better than a good tune, artfully crafted and played to perfection, accompanied in pleasing harmonies and changing colors? For Thanksgiving Weekend, such traditional fare is as satisfying as a good meal with friends and family. And, surely, Chopin and Rachmaninoff are near and dear members of the orchestral family. Enjoy.

are both early works, composed before he left Warsaw for what was to be a journey that led to Paris as his permanent home. He was just twenty, with considerable ambitions as a composer and as a virtuoso pianist, and his French father, Nicolas Chopin, was far from being the obstructive parent that great artists are traditionally supposed to battle against. He made it clear to his son that to succeed at the highest level in music he needed to experience the wider world and to find out for himself how music was cultivated in the great capitals of Europe: Vienna, Berlin, Rome, Paris. The concerts Chopin gave in Warsaw before his departure put his immense talents on display and earned the label “genius” from at least some members of the press. Concerts in that era were entirely different from the events we know today. Almost all concerts, which lasted three hours or more, included a number of soloists, among them always at least one singer. Solo pieces alternated with orchestral music. There was generally a chorus on hand, and the tone would tend to get lighter as the evening proceeded. The public was especially enamored of singers, preferably famous sopranos, and of pianists, who had an instrument of great brilliance at their command. During Beethoven’s lifetime, the piano had enjoyed the fruits of rapid industrial advance. It was stronger, heavier, larger, and louder. It was still always brown, never black, and it was equipped with a variety of pedals for special effects. Its sound could fill ever larger halls. Above all, by the time Chopin appeared on the scene it had an upper register that added more than an octave to the range of Mozart’s piano. This high register had a tinkly brilliance that pianists and composers rushed to exploit. (Even Beethoven’s inactive ears responded to this new sound in his later works.) Finger virtuosity was the goal of every aspiring pianist, and the études and variations that poured from the presses offered even modest pianists the chance to impress their listeners with cascades of notes that sound much more difficult than they really are. At the highest level, therefore, pianist-composers had to develop a truly formidable finger technique, the most celebrated exponent of whom was the young Franz Liszt. Chopin was among the young virtuosos of this order, although he did not About the Music

meet Liszt until he reached Paris. His models were Hummel, Kalkbrenner, and Moscheles — well established touring pianists and successful composers, all of whom wrote concertos that combine great virtuosity with solid craftsmanship. Chopin probably knew no Mozart or Beethoven concertos in his teenage years. Hummel was his model for the concerto in F minor. This concerto, which The Cleveland Orchestra is presenting this weekend, is now known as No. 2 because it was published later than the complementary work in E minor that followed soon after. He performed the F-minor concerto in Warsaw in March 1830 to rapturous acclaim from the press. He was greeted as a true national hero: “How beautifully he plays! What fluency! What evenness! There could be no more perfect concord between the two hands. He plays with such certainty, so cleanly that his concerto might be compared to the life of a just man: no ambiguity, nothing false. He plays with the good manners of a well-bred person who may indeed be aware of his own significance but has no pretensions, knowing that, if he chose, anything might be permitted to him. His music is full of expressive feeling and song, and puts the listener into a state of subtle rapture, bringing back to his memory all the happy moments he has known.” Chopin’s playing was always noted for its high breeding and lack of showy display, yet his music, especially his concertos, calls for great precision and brilliant polish. We cannot fail to notice that the critic had already observed the expressive qualities of this music. The new work was repeated a week later to even greater applause. Chopin already had a second concerto in the works. This was to be known as No. 1 in E minor. It was ready by October 1830, when the composer performed it to another enthusiastic audience. “The bravos were deafening,” Chopin reported, although there was little response in the press. A few weeks later he left Warsaw, never to return. Chopin’s concertos have been criticized for the minor role allotted to the orchestra and (by Berlioz) for their unadventurous use of instruments. They treat the classical key system with a certain impudence. Yet their melodic richness, their warmly colored harmony, and their highly crafted piano writing all ensure their place in the repertory. Chopin himself played this concerto only twice more, during his early years in Paris. He would not have regarded it as approaching the peak of his creative genius, Severance Hall 2012-13

About the Music

At a Glance Chopin wrote his F-minor Piano Concerto in 1829-30. He played the solo part at the private premiere performance, on March 4, 1830, in Warsaw, conducted by Karol Kurpinski. A public performance was given two weeks later, on March 17, at the Warsaw National Theater as part of Chopin’s “debut” concert in the capital. The concerto was designated as “No. 2” at the time of its publication. (Chopin’s other piano concerto, in E minor, written later in 1830, was published first, as “No. 1.”) This concerto runs about 30 minutes in performance. Chopin scored it for 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, bass trombone, timpani, and strings. The Cleveland Orchestra first presented this concerto in December 1932, conducted by Nikolai Sokoloff and with Josef Hofmann as soloist. It has been heard on a few occasions since that time, most recently as part of Cleveland Orchestra Miami performances in March 2010, conducted by Vladimir Ashkenazy with Ingrid Fliter as the soloist, and as part of the 2007 Blossom Festival, with conductor Roberto Minczuk and with Fliter as the soloist.

but as a vehicle for a young pianist-composer it served him well. For Chopin to model his first attempt at a full-scale concerto on a work by Hummel is neither surprising nor shameful. Having studied with Mozart as a boy, Hummel went on to a brilliant career. He visited Warsaw in 1828 and met young Chopin, who regarded his concertos with enormous admiration. They were up-to-date virtuoso works, more advanced in this respect than Beethoven’s concertos, which Chopin in any case did not know. The first movement of Chopin’s concerto is based on themes that start off simply but are quickly subjected to fanciful elaborations of every kind. The second movement is a marvel of elegance and filigree decoration, the orchestra giving patient support throughout, and the finale has the character of a lively Polish dance, part mazurka, part krakowiak, in 3/4 time. Towards the end, the horn sounds the signal for a turn to the major key and a coda driven by cascades of notes ranging from one end of the piano to the other. —Hugh Macdonald © 2012 Hugh Macdonald is Avis H.

Symphony No. 2 in E minor, Opus 27 composed 1906-07 TO TELL THE STORIES

Sergei

RACHMANINOFF born April 1, 1873 Semyonovo, Russia died March 28, 1943 Beverly Hills, California

of Sergei Rachmaninoff ’s symphonies is to give a capsule biography of the artist. Each symphony belongs to a different period in Rachmaninoff ’s career. Aside from a student essay (of which only the first movement survives), there are three numbered symphonies, plus the choral symphony The Bells, which bears no number. Together, they illustrate Rachmaninoff ’s life-long search to find his identity as a composer. When Rachmaninoff wrote his Symphony No. 1 in D minor (Opus 13) at the age of 22, he had already established himself in Russia as one of the most talented musicians of his generation. Graduated from the Moscow Conservatory with the rarely-awarded Gold Medal, he was widely known as a prodigious pianist. He was also considered a promising composer — his examination piece, the one-act opera Aleko, had been performed at the Bolshoi Theater, sharing a double bill with a work by Tchaikovsky. The premiere of Rachmaninoff ’s First Symphony, given in St. Petersburg on March 15, 1897, turned out to be an unexpected disaster. The conductor, Alexander Glazunov, a famous composer and professor at the St. Petersburg Conservatory, was apparently unsympathetic to the music of a Muscovite (there was an open rivalry between the music schools of the two Russian capitals). The critics, among them composer César Cui (a former member of the group of composers known as “the Five,” who could often sway professional opinion), found the symphony seriously flawed, and wrote scathing reviews. The ensuing fiasco thrust young Rachmaninoff into such a state of depression that for three entire years he was largely unable to write any music whatsoever. He only recovered his ability to work through the intervention of a psychiatrist who used the new method of hypnosis to restore his self-confidence. Even so, and despite the resounding success of his Second Piano Concerto in 1901, it took six more years before Rach-

About the Music

The Second Symphony marked the beginning of Rachmaninoff’s most successful years as a composer. In the decade before his emigration to the West, Rachmaninoff wrote The Isle of the Dead, the Third Piano Concerto, two great liturgical works (Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom and Vespers), numerous songs, and piano works, as well as the choral symphony The Bells.

maninoff attempted another symphony. In the meantime, he was busy as an opera conductor at the Imperial Theater and as a concert pianist. Finally, he made a radical decision, cancelled all his performing engagements, and left Russia in order to be able to work on his composition projects undisturbed. In October 1906, Rachmaninoff, together with his young wife and baby daughter, took up residence in the German town of Dresden. There — and during the warmer months, while residing at his summer estate near Moscow — he spent the better part of 1907 working on his Second Symphony. The new work, premiered in St. Petersburg on February 8, 1908, under the composer’s baton, was well received, and Rachmaninoff confirmed his position as Russia’s leading young composer. The Second Symphony marked the beginning of Rachmaninoff ’s most successful years as a composer. In the decade before the Russian Revolutions of 1917 and his emigration to the West, Rachmaninoff wrote the symphonic poem The Isle of the Dead, the Third Piano Concerto, two great liturgical works (Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom and Vespers), numerous songs, and piano works, as well as the choral symphony The Bells. During the following decade, by contrast, Rachmaninoff wrote almost nothing at all. In the years after his departure from Russia, he became a world-famous piano virtuoso, with a busy concert schedule all over the United States and Europe, with little time for composing. Rachmaninoff settled in the United States, but soon acquired a villa and an adjoining property in Switzerland, where he began to compose again on his vacations. It is there that he wrote his last important works, including the Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini in 1934 and the Third Symphony in 1935-36. THE SECOND SYMPHONY

The Second Symphony begins with a Largo introduction whose opening motif, first presented by the cellos and basses, will recur in varied form throughout the symphony. Its main features are a stepwise motion (first ascending, then descending), and a rhythmic pattern with ties across the barline. This material dominates both the lengthy introduction and the subsequent main section of the first movement. At first soft and subdued, the main theme is gradually transformed, through variation and development, and reappears forte played by the full orchestra. A second melodic idea is based on an alterAbout the Music

nation between woodwind and strings, and brought to a climax, only to fade back to pianissimo at the end of the exposition. The beginning of the development section is marked by the return of the main theme as a violin solo. The theme is soon taken over by the clarinet, and turned into fast-moving figurations in both winds and strings. After a new emotional high point, the recapitulation begins, concentrating on the second theme, which appears in E major. The movement’s coda, however, reverts to the key of E minor, the main tonality, and brings the movement to a ringing close. The second movement is a Scherzo in sonata form, with a contrasting second theme. The main melody is played first by the horns and then by the violins against a lively rhythmic background. The second theme, without being a direct quote of the first movement’s main idea, shares with it a stepwise motion and its characteristic rhythm. It is followed by a return of the first theme. The movement’s Trio section, somewhat closer in tempo, also contains two distinct materials: the first is played staccato (short, separated notes) by the violins, while the second, with brass and percussion as the protagonists, is a special mixture of a march and a church hymn, with unexpected off-beat accents. A return to the first tempo brings back both themes of the main section, but the movement closes with some reminiscences of the march from the Trio. The third-movement Adagio begins with an expressive violin melody followed by a clarinet solo in the same kind of mold as the symphony’s earlier themes, in stepwise motion. A third idea, played by the first violins, receives a counterpoint from the other strings and the woodwinds, and leads back to the first theme, now heard at great volume in a full orchestral fortissimo. The middle section starts very soft ly with english horn and oboe solos. A new climax is reached, soon to recede into a decrescendo and, finally, a long silence. In the recapitulation the first theme is re-introduced by the horn. The other two ideas also return, in richer orchestration than before, and contrapuntally combined with parts of the first theme. Like the second movement, the third also ends with an allusion to material heard in its middle section. The fourth-movement Finale in E major starts with a fanfarelike theme played fortissimo by the entire orchestra. It is followed by

a transition section for horns, timpani, and double bass, which leads into a march for winds (not unlike the one heard in the second movement). The main theme returns, then gives way to a broad melody, eventually winding down to pianissimo chords over a long-held pedal. After a short recall of the third movement’s main theme, a development section begins, with mostly new melodic ideas, among which a descending scale gains increasing prominence. The recapitulation section brings back the fanfare, the march, the broad melody, and the descending scale, combining them all in the symphony’s triumphant ending. —Peter Laki Peter Laki is a musicologist and frequent lecturer on classical music, and a visiting associate professor at Bard College in New York.

At a Glance Rachmaninoff composed his Second Symphony in 1906-07. The first performance took place on February 8, 1908, in St. Petersburg, with the composer conducting. The United States premiere was given by Modeste Altschuler and the Russian Musical Society in New York on January 14, 1909. This symphony runs about an hour in performance. Rachmaninoff scored it for 3 flutes (third doubling piccolo), 3 oboes (third doubling english horn), 2 clarinets, bass clarinet, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion (side drum, bass drum, cymbals, glockenspiel), and strings.

Rachmaninoff ’s Second Symphony was introduced to Cleveland by the visiting Boston Symphony Orchestra, which played it at Grays Armory in January 1911, under Max Fiedler. The Cleveland Orchestra first performed it in March 1920, conducted by Nikolai Sokoloff. The most recent performances were given in December 2009 under the direction of Iván Fisher. The Cleveland Orchestra and Nikolai Sokoloff recorded Rachmaninoff ’s Second Symphony in May 1928, using a score especially prepared and shortened by the composer; this “complete” recording was released as a set of twelve 78 rpm discs.

Today, with the support of many generous individual, foundation, corporate, and governmental funding partners, the Orchestra’s educational and community programs reach more than 70,000 young people and adults annually, helping to foster a love of music and a lifetime of involvement with the musical arts.

El Sistema@Rainey performing at Severance Hall. The initiative is an intensive after-school orchestral music program launched in September 2011 by Cleveland Orchestra violinist Isabel Trautwein and Cleveland’s Rainey Institute. Modeled after the national Venezuelan program El Sistema (“the system”), the initiative emphasizes community-based orchestra training from a young age, with a focus on making music fun and inspiring young musicians with a passion for music and for life. The Cleveland Orchestra and education partner Conn-Selmer are the official providers of instruments for the El Sistema@Rainey program, with instrument support from Royalton Music for El Sistema@Rainey Summer Camp.

Through the PNC Musical Rainbows series at Severance Hall, Cleveland Orchestra musicians introduce nearly 10,000 preschoolers each year to the instruments of the orchestra.

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 Orchestraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s endowment. Said to be Elisabeth Severanceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite flower, the lotus is found as a decorative motif in nearly every public area of Severance Hall.

The Cleveland Orchestra Center for Future Audiences T H E C L E V E L A N D O R C H E S T R A ’s Center for Future Audiences was estab-

lished to fund programs to develop new generations of audiences for Cleveland Orchestra concerts in Northeast Ohio. The 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 attending Cleveland Orchestra 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 programs, call us at 216-231-7464.

New!

The Cleveland Orchestra’s catalog of recordings continues to grow. The newest DVD features Bruckner’s Eighth Symphony recorded live at Severance Hall under the direction of Music Director Franz Welser-Möst in 2010 and released in May 2011. And, released in 2012, Dvořák’s opera Rusalka on CD, recorded live at the Salzburg Festival. Writing of the Rusalka performances, the reviewer for London’s Sunday Times praised the performance as “the most spellbinding account of Dvořák’s miraculous score I have ever heard, either in the theatre 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 soloists 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. Visit the Cleveland Orchestra Store for the latest and best Cleveland Orchestra recordings and DVDs.

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, 1921-1936) and his wife, Elisabeth, donated most of the funds necessary to erect this magnificent building. Designed by Walker & Weeks, its elegant

HAILED AS ONE OF

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.
