Perspectivesfrom the Executive Director February 2013 Many of you will have seen recent press coverage of this season’s record-breaking sales revenues and the growing presence of young audience members here at Severance Hall. The news is encouraging for the Orchestra and all of Northeast Ohio. The Plain Dealer’s front-page coverage noted that The Cleveland Orchestra “is seeing attendance and ticket revenue skyrocket, mostly as a result of new programs aimed at children and students.” In an editorial, Crain’s Cleveland Business wrote that the Orchestra “deserves bravos for the hard work it and its supporters have done to secure the future of this ensemble of skilled musicians, who together remain the city’s most visible global ambassadors.” These are important steps toward a bright future, and much of the credit belongs to the staff who work tirelessly in the service of our patrons and artists. This team of dedicated professionals works behind the scenes every day to ensure that what happens offstage matches the unsurpassed excellence of the music-making onstage. Staff members (listed on pages 60- 61 of this book) focus their energies to plan and produce, manage and market hundreds of performances, educational programs, and patron events annually. The planning begins years in advance. Every event — at home in Northeast Ohio and on the road — involves scores of decisions and details that begin to take shape at least three years in advance. This month, the final details are being set for the 2013 Blossom Music Festival and 2013-14 season at Severance Hall in preparation for next month’s season announcements. At the same time, the programming for 2014-15 is being discussed and decided, while conductors and soloists are being booked for 2015-16. For every rehearsal, performance, program, and event, Severance Hall and Blossom must be prepared to ensure an efficient and comfortable experience for the artists onstage and for you in the audience. From cleaning and climate control to program books and box office, from finance and food service to payroll and parking, every detail is important. And these days, as we diversify our activities in Northeast Ohio, staff members throughout the institution are coordinating an increasingly complex puzzle of programming, people, and partnerships. Fundraising is an essential part of the equation, requiring not only that we ask for your support, but that we earn your support, and that genuine and grateful thanks are extended to each and every donor. Simultaneously, the infrastructure of the institution must be attended to, including the maintenance and management of Severance Hall’s physical plant, of the organization’s computer systems, and the Orchestra’s array of equipment, instruments, and music library. The success of this season — and of future seasons in the months and years to come — is the result of hard work by many hands. I hope you will join me in expressing gratitude to all the dedicated staff members for everything they do, for helping to make The Cleveland Orchestra the very best right here in Northeast Ohio.

SATURDAY INSTRUMENTAL SCHOOL. Music students line up for a photograph in April 1929 at East Technical High School. The students were part of a program in which Cleveland Orchestra musicians taught instrument lessons on Saturdays throughout the school year — nearly 3,000 students took part during the late 1920s and early ’30s. The Orchestra has a long and successful history as an education partner with schools, colleges, and universities throughout Northeast Ohio.
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: UNDER THE LEADERSHIP
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); expansion of education and community programs in Northeast Ohio to make music an integral and regular part of everyday life for more people; the 2012-13 season includes the launch of an annual Neighborhood Residency pro-

gram that will bring The Cleveland Orchestra to neighborhoods across the region for an intensive week of special activities and performances. First stop is the Gordon Square Arts District in Cleveland’s Detroit/Shoreway neighborhood in May 2013; 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 (based on successful educational programs pioneered at home in Cleveland); 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; concert tours from coast to coast in the United States, including annual appearances at Carnegie Hall; regular concert tours to Europe and Asia; 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; 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 across Northeast Ohio and in the Miami-Dade community; additional new residencies at Indiana University and at New York’s Lincoln Center Festival; the return of ballet as a regular part of the Orchestra’s presentations, featuring performances by The Joffrey Ballet; the 2012-13 season featured 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

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 conducted the New Year’s Day concert again at the start of 2013 and also leads 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.

From the President This message from Musical Arts Association president Dennis W. LaBarre is reprinted from the Association’s recently published Annual Report. Here, Mr. LaBarre offers an overview of the progress that The Cleveland Orchestra is making in implementing changes for a stronger future, as a musical institution devoted to the citizens of Northeast Ohio who created it and have sustained it. The complete Annual Report can be read by visiting clevelandorchestra.com and clicking on the “Support the Orchestra” section.
A S I R E F L E C T on my first three years as president of the Musical Arts Association, I am moved by both institutional pride and extraordinary gratitude. I am proud of the continued artistic vibrancy of The Cleveland Orchestra. I am equally proud of the progress we are making to successfully evolve beyond a business model that is no longer sustainable, for us or for our peer orchestras. But most of all, I am grateful that our progress forward is based on a demonstrated recognition among all the constituencies that make up our institutional fabric that we are all in this together.
THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA
Despite the challenges ahead, I am confident about the future of The Cleveland Orchestra. We have an informed and engaged Board of Trustees who relentlessly are facing our challenges, and making steady increases in their fundraising participation and personal philanthropy. We have a staff that demonstrates tireless devotion to the institution’s goals, who are holding down expenses, implementing new innovations, achieving record operating margins, and aggressively supporting our fundraising activities. We have musicians who not only sustain the highest artistic standards, but have increasingly partnered with us in seeking outcomes that will help The Cleveland Orchestra thrive for years to come. We have a music director who inspires artistic excellence and also demonstrates a rare vision into all aspects of our activities in a manner not always found among those who hold similar positions. We are blessed with the continued devotion and genuine enthusiasm of the Orchestra’s many patrons and volunteers, and the ongoing generosity of our donors, for which we are most grateful.
We have developed and continue to evolve a ten-year plan based on transparent, rigorous analysis of the hard facts we currently face, rather than rely on historical wisdom as the basis for decisions. Most importantly, we have identified our challenges, financial and otherwise, while there is still time for remedy. We are earnestly CONTINUES

THE CLEVELAND ORC
We began a thorough, new analysis of the landscape faced by symphony orchestras in 2008. The backdrop for this effort was the economic distress that has become a “new normal” and the recognition of inevitable societal and demographic change affecting orchestras, including the aspects of those forces that were most impactful for our own circumstances. These industry-wide realities included structural and operating deficits, shrinking audiences, the challenging relationships between board/leadership and musicians, and the need for multi-year financial planning and investment capital for innovation.

implementing strategic goals to broaden the audiences and community we serve and benefit. This has brought a focus on broader community engagement across Northeast Ohio, to the importance of the entire concert experience, and to the influence of changing social patterns and technologies.
THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA
Of equal importance, we have developed a structure of financial disciplines geared to support a recapitalization of our institution, improve operating margins, and resist the temptation to satisfy near-term financial needs at the expense of long-term financial stability. The dedication of all constituencies to this objective is clearly reflected in our recently completed, successful and cooperative trade agreement negotiations.
A
CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA THE CLEVELAND ORCHE
Our year-on-year operating deficit shrank from $2.7 million in FY11 to $180,000 in FY12 — as a result of success in the special fundraising portion of our Sound for the Centennial Campaign. In order to continue on track for the future, we must succeed in sustaining this effort over the next three years while building our endowment. We are making progress toward eliminating concerns for future deficits, and we are a third of the way toward securing commitments for the Campaign’s overall endowment goals. Central to our vision, the justification for all these efforts begins with the musical experience. Here at Severance Hall and Blossom, in Miami and New York, and abroad in Vienna, Paris, and Salzburg, I have had many opportunities to experience The Cleveland Orchestra’s artistic ascendancy first-hand, and to revel in the musical gifts they share in each performance. This is an Orchestra worthy of the acclaim it receives and the pride it inspires. At the same time, the Orchestra is pursuing a variety of programs, from education and community initiatives to innovations such as Fridays@7 and expanded opera and ballet offerings. Coupled with strong audience development efforts, these initiatives are attracting new audiences that are younger than ever before. We are able to offer much only because of our community’s generosity — nearly 13,000 donors gave $17.3 million in FY12 annual support, in addition to endowment commitments to our comprehensive Campaign. We owe a debt of gratitude to the people of Northeast Ohio for such extraordinary generosity. We are proud to serve this community through our performances and education activities, and in doing so to contribute to the economic growth of our region and serve as a source of community pride. As one of the region’s most visible ambassadors, we proudly carry the Cleveland name everywhere we play. I am confident that together we are making steady progress toward long-term institutional and financial health, and toward the long-term sustainability of this great Orchestra for our great community.

INTRODUCING THE PROGRAM
Centuries& Symphonies F O R T H I S P R O G R A M , as he did last week, guest conductor Herbert
Blomstedt has chosen two symphonies composed a hundred years apart. If last week’s pairing brought together an early full flower of Classic Romanticism (Beethoven) with some distinct forebodings of modernity (Carl Nielsen), this week’s works, from twenty years earlier in each case, nobly bring us the Classical era at its apex (Mozart) alongside the full-throated emotionalism of late 19thcentury Romanticism (Dvořák). Mozart composed his last three symphonies, Nos. 39, 40, and 41, in the summer of 1788. We don’t know exactly why he wrote them, but the always practical (and often financially troubled) Mozart surely had prospects for a performance in which he might gain a share of ticket revenue. Like many of the composer’s ideas for advancing himself, there is little evidence of a successful outcome (or income) in this case. But what he did advance that summer, without question, is the shape and style of what a symphony could be, creating three shining examples at the pinnacle of his own musical powers. This weekend, we hear the middle sibling of the three. Dvořák’s Ninth Symphony is also from a mature artist fully in command of his artistry and musical vocabulary — written in 1892-93 during the composer’s brief three years in America, as director of the National Conservatory of Music in New York City. In it, he adopts and adapts ideas from the new world around him, of Native American and African idioms mixed together with American poetry and plans for an opera on Hiawatha. And molds them impeccably together as a musical postcard to his own Czech homeland back in Europe. Nostalgia, homesickness, wonder, joy, and grandeur are all intermixed to create an unquestioned masterpiece. —Eric Sellen

as to precisely what went wrong in Mozart’s life between 1785, the apex of his “golden years,” and the summer of 1788, when he wrote his last three symphonies. By 1788, the concert series where Mozart had presented his great piano concertos had been discontinued. For a variety of reasons, not all completely understood today, Mozart had lost the audience support he had previously enjoyed. In 1786-87, he had an immense success in Prague with his operas The Marriage of Figaro and Don Giovanni (the latter was written specifically for that city), but back home in Vienna, things were going downhill financially. Mozart’s appointment to the relatively minor position of Kammer-Kompositeur (“Chamber Composer”) at the imperial court did little to improve matters. Mozart’s family life was also extremely difficult. Four of his children died in infancy, three of them between 1786 and 1788. (This left Mozart and his wife, Constanze, with only one surviving child, Karl Thomas, born in 1784; a second son, Franz Xaver Wolfgang, who would become a composer, was born in 1791, the last year of Mozart’s life.) Among the additional reasons that may have contributed to the deterioration of Mozart’s situation, researchers have also cited the composer’s gambling habit, household mismanagement by Constanze, and a general tendency of the Mozarts to live beyond their means. What is certain is that during the summer of 1788 Mozart started writing heart-rending letters to his friend and fellow Freemason, Michael Puchberg, imploring him for rather large sums of money. In one of these, he was asking Puchberg for “a hundred gulden until next week, when my concerts in the Casino are to begin.” Since the letter was written at the time Mozart was working on what would prove to be his last three symphonies, there is reason to believe that he intended them for concerts “in the Casino.” We don’t know exactly where in Vienna this “Casino” was, but Mozart had previously played some of his piano concertos there. Debut performances of Symphonies Nos. 39-41 may or may not have taken place in the fall of 1788. Because there are About the Music

no known records of performances, it was long believed that these symphonies were never heard in concert during the composer’s lifetime. Recently, however, experts have become more careful and we no longer rule out a contemporary performance on the basis of missing evidence. There were in fact several opportunities for Mozart to present these symphonies both in Vienna and in Germany, where he journeyed in 1789 and again in 1790. Most important, the fact that the G-minor Symphony (No. 40) exists in two different manuscript versions — the first without clarinets, the later one with clarinets added and some other woodwind detailing changed — strongly suggests that Mozart either heard the original in performance (leading him to want to make changes) and/or that he prepared a second edition for a specific occasion when clarinets were definitely going to be part of the ensemble for the performance. This weekend’s Cleveland Orchestra performances are utilizing the revised scoring, with the addition of clarinets. SYMPHONY NO. 40 IN G MINOR
The opening of the first movement of Mozart’s Symphony No. 40 in G minor is, in its quiet way, nothing short of a revolution. In the 18th century, symphonies usually started with a forceful downbeat whose function was somewhat similar to that of the rising curtain in the theater: “Ladies and gentlemen, please be silent, the piece has begun!” The French even had a special name for this downbeat: premier coup d’archet (“first bowstroke”). More than a simple custom, this way of opening a work became one of the defining elements of symphonic style. Dispensing with the premier coup d’archet for this symphony, Mozart started with a lyrical melody. What is even more unusual, however, is that this lyrical melody is preceded by almost a full measure of accompanying eighth-notes in the divided violas. In the 19th century, accompaniment figures without melody were not uncommon — one might think of the openings of Schubert’s Gretchen at the Spinning-Wheel or his String Quartet in A minor, the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto, or many opera arias by Verdi. The example they all followed was Mozart’s G-minor symphony, which may thus be seen as the symbolic origin of musical Romanticism. Many writers have felt this symphony — and not only its first measure — to be Romantic in spirit. Often in his earlier works Mozart had used (albeit with surpassing mastery) meSeverance Hall 2012-13
About the Music
Many writers have felt Symphony No. 40 to be Romantic in spirit. Often in his earlier works, Mozart had used melodic material that belonged to a common vocabulary of Classical music. The themes of this work, however, are highly individualized and transcend conventions to a much greater extent than anything Mozart had written before.

lodic material that belonged to a common vocabulary of Classical music. Not so in this Symphony in G minor (it was not given the designation as “No. 40” until many decades after the composer’s death). The themes of this work are highly individualized and transcend conventions to a much greater extent than anything Mozart had written before. The symphony contains dissonances, modulations, and chromatic progressions that were extremely bold for their time, and revealed new worlds of expressivity that had not previously been known to musicians. Individuality, bold innovations, and heightened expressivity — all three concepts were to become central to the Romantic aesthetics of music. At the same time, the symphony preserves a clarity of form and a balance among its constituent elements that is entirely Classical. We could not find better examples for sonata form than the first and the last movements; Classical rules and symmetries are respected throughout. One of the most exciting parts of the first movement is the development section, where the famous opening melody undergoes dramatic transformations and its segments are taken apart, a technique later adopted by Beethoven. In the course of about 90 seconds (which is how long it takes to play the development section), there is counterpoint, a great deal of contrast in dynamics and orchestration, and key changes every four bars or so. The section begins and ends with a short descending scale scored for woodwinds only, making for smooth but quite noticeable transitions. The theme of the second-movement Andante is intoned by the string instruments in successive entries (almost, though not quite, like a fugue). At the repeat of this theme, the woodwinds add a descending scale motif in thirty-second notes separated by rests — a special masterstroke that was quoted almost literally by Haydn in the “Winter” section of his oratorio The Seasons. But Mozart develops the idea differently, using it for another great buildup of tension in the middle of the movement, before the recapitulation brings back the initial feelings of peace and serenity. The third movement is one of the most metrically irregular minuets ever written. Intricacies such as the hemiola (two 3/4 measures rearranged in three 2/4 units) are combined with dissonant clashes in the harmony and a pungent chromaticism in the melodic motion. The Trio section, in which the tonalSeverance Hall 2012-13
About the Music
At a Glance Mozart entered this Symphony in G minor into the catalog of his works on July 25, 1788. It is one of three symphonies he wrote that summer. There is no record of performance during Mozart’s lifetime. What is today known as the Symphony No. 40 (Mozart’s symphonies and concertos weren’t numbered until the middle of the 19th century, when Ludwig Ritter von Köchel worked to catalog all the composer’s music in chronological order) is sometimes called the “Great” G-minor symphony to distinguish it from Mozart’s earlier symphony in the same key: No. 25, K183, also known as the “Little” G-minor. This symphony runs about 25 minutes in performance. Mozart’s original scoring calls for flute, 2 oboes, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, and strings (with divided violas). This weekend’s performances are using a later edition, in which Mozart added clarinets and made changes to the oboe parts. The Cleveland Orchestra first performed Mozart’s Symphony No. 40 in its second season, in November 1919, under Nikolai Sokoloff’s direction. The most recent performance was given at the 2009 Blossom Festival, led by Jayce Ogren.

ity changes from G minor to G major, is more relaxed, but the musical articulation remains complex. The woodwinds and two horns all enjoy some great soloistic opportunities. Unlike many symphonies written in minor keys, Mozart’s Symphony No. 40 does not switch to the major mode for the fourth-movement finale, but remains in minor to the end. This movement has few equals in the Classical literature for sheer dramatic power and intensity. One of its most stunning moments occurs at the beginning of the development section, where a striking unison passage touches on eleven of the twelve tones of the Western chromatic scale and briefly confounds our sense of tonality. It resolves into an exciting contrapuntal section that ends up as far from the home key of G minor as possible (C-sharp minor). The recapitulation (which introduces some subtle changes in the melody) ends with three strong Gminor chords that almost sound like cries of despair. —Peter Laki © 2013 Peter Laki is a musicologist and frequent lecturer on classical music.

bringing Dvořák to the United States belongs to Jeanette M. Thurber, wife of a wealthy New York businessman. Mrs. Thurber (1850-1946), was one of those dedicated philanthropists to whom the musical life of the United States has always owed so much. In 1885-86, she founded both the National Conservatory of Music and the American Opera Company. One of her greatest achievements was a scholarship program for minority students, which enabled many African Americans and Native Americans to become professional musicians. Another was to persuade Antonín Dvořák to come to the United States from his native Bohemia and become the director of the new Conservatory. After a long round of negotiations, Dvořák arrived in the United States in 1892, for what would be a stay of three years. He was accompanied by his wife, two of his six children, and a secretary. His duties at the Conservatory were not very demanding. He had to teach composition three mornings a week and conduct the student orchestra on two afternoons. This schedule left him enough time for conducting at public concerts as well as composing. Mrs. Thurber later claimed it was at her suggestion that Dvořák first started to work on his Symphony in E minor. As she recollected: “He used to be particularly homesick on steamer days when he read the shipping news in the Herald. Thoughts of home often moved him to tears. On one of these days I suggested that he write a symphony embodying his experiences and feelings in America — a suggestion which he promptly adopted. This prompting would hardly have sufficed, had Dvořák himself not felt ready to “embark” on a new symphony. But embark he did, and when the score was finished the next spring, he made the following inscription on the last page of the manuscript: “Praise God! Completed 24th May 1893 at 9 o’clock in the morning. The children have arrived at Southampton (a cable came at 1:33 p.m.).” The four children Dvořák had left behind joined their parents in New York a few days later. Thus, both the beginning and the end of this symphony’s composition seem to be connected with ships leaving and arriving. Much ink has been spilled over the question as to whether About the Music

the E-minor Symphony incorporates any melodies Dvořák heard in the United States, and whether the symphony is “American” or “Czech” in character. Dvořák’s interest in both Negro spirituals and American Indian music was evident, but he actually knew very little about the latter and, as far as the former was concerned, relied mainly on a single source of information. Harry T. Burleigh, an African-American student at the Conservatory, who later became a noted composer and singer, performed many spirituals (and also Stephen Foster songs) for Dvořák, who was very impressed. Still, Dvořák’s knowledge of American musical traditions must have remained limited. The composer did not claim to have used any original melodies, trying instead to “reproduce their spirit,” as he put it in an interview published three days before the symphony’s premiere. We will understand what Dvořák meant by this if we compare the famous english horn solo from the symphony’s slow second movement with the spiritual “Steal Away,” which was probably among the songs Dvořák had heard from Burleigh. Many years later, H.C. Colles asked Burleigh to sing to him the songs he had sung to Dvořák, and noted that “the sound of the english horn resembled quite closely the quality of Burleigh’s voice.” Both melodies share the same rhythmic patterns and the same pentatonic scale. It is no wonder that Dvořák’s melody was subsequently adopted as a spiritual in its own right under the title “Goin’ Home,” with words provided by one of Dvořák’s New York students, William Arms Fisher. Several other melodies in the symphony have similar songlike shapes, suggesting folk inspiration. One instance where a possible model has been identified is the first movement’s second theme, which is strongly reminiscent of the spiritual “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot.” Another link between the “New World” Symphony and the New World has to do with an aborted opera project based on The Song of Hiawatha. It was another one of Mrs. Thurber’s suggestions that Dvořák write an opera on Longfellow’s poem, with which he had long been familiar, having read it in Czech translation 30 years before. The opera never quite got off the ground, but it has recently been shown that the slow movement of the symphony was conceived with Minnehaha’s Forest Funeral from Hiawatha in mind. Additionally, the Scherzo movement was inspired by the dance of Pau-Puk-Keewis from Hiawatha. Discussions of the ethnic background of Dvořák’s themes should not, however, divert the attention from other aspects Severance Hall 2012-13
About the Music
At a Glance Dvořák wrote his “New World” Symphony in New York City between December 1892 and May 1893. He added the subtitle Z Nového světa, meaning “From the New World,” in November 1893, shortly before the work’s premiere at Carnegie Hall by the New York Philharmonic conducted by Anton Seidl. This symphony runs about 45 minutes in performance. Dvořák scored it for 2 flutes (second doubling piccolo), 2 oboes (second doubling english horn), 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion (cymbals and triangle), and strings. The Cleveland Orchestra first performed the “New World” Symphony in April 1920 under Nikolai Sokoloff, and it has been a regular part of the Orchestra’s repertoire ever since. The most recent performances took place in November 2009, conducted by Bertrand de Billy.

of this symphony that are at least equally compelling. Because beautiful melodies alone, whatever their provenance may be, do not a symphony make. In his Ninth, Dvořák proved not only his supreme melodic gifts, but also his mastery in organizing his melodies into coherent and well-balanced musical structures. The opening horn theme of the first movement, already hinted at in the preceding slow introduction, serves as a unifying gesture that returns in each of the symphony’s movements. In the second-movement Largo, it appears at the climactic point in the faster middle section, shortly before the return of the english horn solo. In the third-movement Scherzo, it is heard between the Scherzo proper and the movement’s Trio section; this time, the energetic brass theme is transformed into a lyrical melody played by the cellos and the violas. Between the Trio and the recapitulation of the Scherzo, the theme resumes its original character. The same melody can also be found in the fourth-movement finale shortly before the end, in a coda that incorporates quotations from the second and third movements as well. Thus, the ending of the symphony, then, combines the main themes from all four movements in a magnificent synthesis. —Peter Laki

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 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.

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

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.

At Severance Hall . . .
ALAN GILBERT CONDUCTS MAHLER Thursday March 21 at 8:00 p.m. Saturday March 23 at 8:00 p.m. THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA Alan Gilbert, conductor
Alan Gilbert, former assistant conductor of The Cleveland Orchestra and now music director of the New York Philharmonic, returns to lead Mahler’s Seventh Symphony, nicknamed “The Song of the Night.” This epic, five-movement work opens with the repeated echoes of a boat’s oars dipping into a lake — and continues across a musical journey from shore to shore, through night to the glorious sunrise of day. Here Mahler captures life’s authenticity and elation, heartfelt pain and immeasurable beauty. The concert begins with Ravel’s delightful ballet score for Mother Goose. Please Note: Following the instructions of his doctors, Pierre Boulez has reluctantly withdrawn from his scheduled appearances with The Cleveland Orchestra for this weekend. Alan Gilbert, music director of the New York Philharmonic, has graciously agreed to step in to lead these concerts.
CARMINA BURANA Thursday April 11 at 8:00 p.m. Friday April 12 at 8:00 p.m. Saturday April 13 at 8:00 p.m. Sunday April 14 at 3:00 p.m. THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA Franz Welser-Möst, conductor Robert Walters, oboe d’amore Rebecca Nelsen, soprano Nicholas Phan, tenor Stephen Powell, baritone Cleveland Orchestra Chorus Cleveland Orchestra Children’s Chorus
Carl Orff’s joyous Carmina Burana bursts forth like a boisterous street festival — filled with great music, marvelous mayhem, and delightful merriment. This modern-day Canterbury Tales comes complete with lusty hymns to springtime, animated drinking songs, and a swan’s anguishingly ironic farewell to life (on a barbecue spit!). The evening opens with a concerto by J.S. Bach, for oboe d’amore. Sponsor: KeyBank
