// ARTISTIC

DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE The Australian Haydn Ensemble has always been passionate about reviving the eighteenth-century custom of performing large-scale symphonic works in chamber version. It was a common part of everyday life at the time and bringing these arrangements to the concert stage provides a fascinating and often surprising window into the cultural appreciation of the day. Many of the works we have played in this manner in the past have not, as far as we know, been performed since the first or second decades of the nineteenth century. Our program today, BEETHOVEN’S EROICA, presents three such chamber versions of works by Beethoven, Mozart and Wranitzky. The centrepiece is Beethoven’s iconic Symphony No. 3, the Eroica. The chamber arrangement or ‘adaptation’ we present was made by Girolamo Masi for flute, 2 violins, 2 violas, cello and double bass. Having performed several of these over the past decade, we have discovered that often the arranger has taken certain liberties with the original score. In Masi’s case, he often makes cuts to sections of the work that were probably deemed ‘too difficult’ for the amateur musician to play at home on a Saturday night with friends. For Masi’s adaptation of the Eroica, we have restored the missing sections to match Beethoven’s original score with the help of Australian arranger, Vi King Lim. This has been done with meticulous care, to honour the eighteenth-century intention of keeping as true as possible to the composer’s original work. The creation of these chamber arrangements occurred quite often in Haydn and Beethoven’s time. Chamber performances of works of this

size were popular throughout London, used for salon concert programs as well as being works that could be played at home by amateurs. It was also a great way for composers to sell their works to the public much in the way people purchase albums or download tracks from iTunes today. The program also features a chamber arrangement of Mozart’s wonderful Symphony No. 40 by Giambattista Cimador. Cimador was a double bass player, evident in some of his arrangement choices which feature the instrument in a more soloistic way. He arranged a volume of Mozart’s symphonies for this instrumentation including the Jupiter, Haffner and Prague. Our program also includes Paul Wranitzky’s own chamber arrangement of his dramatic revolution-inspired Symphony in C minor known as La Paix or in its longer version -‘Grand Characteristic Symphony for the Peace with the French Republic’. Wranitzky, a Czech composer who moved to Vienna when he was about 20 years old, became a good friend of Haydn and was one of the few people officially permitted by Haydn to arrange his music. We perform the first movement of La Paix as an overture to our program; in itself it has the feeling of a complete work. Wranitzky presents a dramatic opening section followed by English and Prussian marches in turn. I hope you enjoy this program as much as we have enjoyed researching and preparing it for you!

Skye McIntosh

// THE ENSEMBLE

The Australian Haydn Ensemble, founded in 2012 by Artistic Director and Principal Violinist Skye McIntosh, has quickly established itself as one of Australia’s leading period-instrument ensembles, specialising in the repertoire of the late baroque and early classical eras. It takes its name from the great Joseph Haydn, a leading composer of the late eighteenth century, when style was transitioning from Baroque to Classical. Based around a small core of strings and flute, the Ensemble performs in a variety of sizes and combinations, ranging from string or flute quartet or quintet, to a full orchestra. It has developed a flourishing regular series at the Sydney Opera House Utzon Room, City Recital Hall and in Canberra, where it was Ensemble in Residence at the Australian National University during 2014. It also performs throughout regional NSW and presents education workshops to students 4

of all ages, focusing on imparting eighteenth-century historical performance techniques. In January 2019, AHE presented programs at the Peninsula Summer Music Festival and the Organs of the Ballarat Goldfields Festival in Victoria, receiving glowing reviews. In early 2022 the Ensemble performed at the Adelaide Festival. In 2016 the group released its debut ABC Classics recording The Haydn Album which reached number one on the Australian Aria Classical charts. It received rave reviews, one claiming that the Ensemble stood “proudly shoulder to shoulder with the many period instrument ensembles found in Europe”. In October 2017 AHE released Beethoven Piano Concertos 1 & 3 on the ABC Classics label, showcasing newly-commissioned chamber versions of the works in the style of the eighteenth century, in collaboration with Aria award-winning historical keyboardist Dr Neal Peres Da Costa. Reviewers

have been extremely enthusiastic: “This recording is remarkable not only for the pianist’s wonderfully free and fluent playing, but also for the excellent performance of the Ensemble.” To commemorate its 10th anniversary, the Ensemble will release its third CD, featuring music by Mozart, in late-2022. The Ensemble has presented a host of unique chamber music and orchestral programs, working with a range of world-class musicians such as Erin Helyard, Neal Peres Da Costa (Australia), Catherine Mackintosh, Melvyn Tan, Benjamin Bayl (UK), Marc Destrubé (Canada), Midori Seiler (Germany) as well as singers Sara Macliver (Australia), Stephanie True (Canada), Simon Lobelson (Australia), Helen Sherman (UK) and David Greco (Australia). It is particularly interested in presenting unusual

programs of eighteenth-century chamber versions of larger orchestral symphonic and concerto works by Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, as well as bringing to a wider audience some of the lesser-known contemporaries of these composers, such as Abel, Albrechtsberger, C.P.E. Bach, J.C. Bach, David, Graun, Hoffmeister and Vanhal. Members of the Australian Haydn Ensemble bring a wealth of expertise from first-class period and modern ensembles and orchestras around the world, such as the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra, Australian Chamber Orchestra, Orchestra of the Antipodes, Concerto Köln, English Baroque Soloists, English Chamber Orchestra, Irish Chamber Orchestra, Julliard 415, Les Talens Lyrique, New Dutch Academy and Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment.

ABOUT THE MUSIC SYMPHONIES IN THE SITTING ROOM In the era before recorded sound – and unless you lived in or near a major European city - opportunities to hear music played by a full orchestra might come around only a few times in a decade. Orchestral works circulated primarily through arrangements for smaller groups and solo instruments: piano, wind octet, string quartet, trio, or any sort of ensemble that might realistically be assembled at home from friends and family. It was a booming market. Piracy was rife, but major composers (if they had any head for business) knew that this was a vital means of promoting their large-scale music. Beethoven himself made several scaleddown arrangements of his own works, and authorised others. Mozart’s only regret when another composer made a chamber arrangement of hits from his opera Don Giovanni was that he hadn’t done so (and banked the proceeds) himself. The Australian Haydn Ensemble has enjoyed rediscovering and performing these domesticated versions of great symphonies. They’re a refresher course for the ears, and a glimpse into a vanished world. Without taking anything away from the glorious full colour of the orchestral originals, they offer an authentic and delightfully vivid opportunity to hear this music the way that many - probably most - of its contemporaries would first have encountered it.

PAUL WRANITZKY (1756-1808) Symphony in C minor Op. 31 La Paix – First movement (arr. Wranitzky) ‘The Revolution”: Andante maestoso Allegro molto The Treaty of Campo Formio, signed on 17th October 1797 between the French Republic and the Austrian Emperor was not, by any metric, a good result for Austria. The Habsburg dynasty lost its remaining possessions in the Netherlands and gained a brief respite from the aggression of the French army under Napoleon Bonaparte. But this was still ( just about) the eighteenth century and in the eighteenth century, the deeds of princes were celebrated with music. Pavel Vranický understood that better than most. An innkeeper’s son from rural Moravia (now in Czechia), his musical gifts took him to Vienna, where he changed his name to the more German-looking Paul Wranitzky and quickly made his way in the world. He was on friendly terms with both Mozart and Haydn, and Beethoven insisted that Wranitzky direct the premiere of his own First Symphony. “Beethoven rightly believed that he could choose noone better” observed one contemporary newspaper, the Allgemeine Musikalische Zeitung, and few composers came closer to Beethoven’s own explosive style. So Wranitzky must have felt that he was capturing the public mood when in 1797, to celebrate the peace, he composed a four-movement “Grand Characteristic Symphony for the Peace with the French Republic”. The Emperor, however, was in no mood for celebration:

on 20th December 1797 he issued a decree forbidding its performance. The symphony was premiered in Leipzig (outside Austrian jurisdiction), though Wranitzky had already sent versions for piano trio and string quartet (with the option of a double bass) to the publishers, anticipating widespread success.

King’s Theatre, Haymarket had refused to play Mozart’s symphonies – they were apparently too difficult. And so, “he arranged six of them as sestets [sic] for strings and flute. The work was well done, and the symphonies first made known in this form speedily took their proper place with the public”.

And rightly – the Symphony was played throughout German-speaking Europe over the next few years. The Emperor had misread Wranitzky’s intentions, because the work, whose four movements included a heartfelt funeral march for the murdered King Louis XVI, was anything but sympathetic to the republican cause. This first movement carries the title The Revolution, and its sombre introduction is shattered by a violent C minor Allegro. That, in turn, is interrupted by two brisk marches – a March of the English and a March of the Austrians and Prussians – in other words, the civilised allies ranged against the forces of revolutionary chaos. True, the first movement ends in tempestuous rage - but bear in mind that this is only the end of the beginning.

Cimador was an eminently practical musician: a skilled string player, he was well aware that the flute – cheap, portable and (by the standards of the time) relatively easy to play - was probably the single most popular instrument with amateur musicians in the late eighteenth century. Its presence would only increase the popularity of his Mozart arrangements, as well as adding a splash of colour, even if the arrangement as a whole could only hint at the wondrous light and shade of Mozart’s orchestral woodwinds. Still, it offered an accessible path into what was still strange and ultramodern music (Mozart had composed the symphony in the space of six weeks in the summer of 1788).

WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART (1756-1791) Symphony No. 40 K. 550 in G minor (arr. Cimador) Molto allegro Andante Menuetto: Allegretto Allegro assai The world of eighteenth century music moved quickly, and without much regard for national boundaries. Mozart never made it to London but the Venetian composer and multi-instrumentalist Giambattista Cimador (1761-1808) certainly did. Arriving in Britain in 1791 as a singing teacher he was outraged (or so the nineteenthcentury scholar Mary Catherine Hamilton tells us) to hear that the musicians of the

Mozart’s 40th symphony is so familiar today that perhaps we barely realise how original it is: the quiet, anxious accompaniment that begins before the main tune of the first movement (almost unheard of in a classical symphony, but cribbed by many composers since), the fast, angry, Minuet (the minuet was meant to be a lighter interlude), and the jagged, disintegrating harmonies in the middle of the finale – modern-sounding music, even today. Only in the tender Andante does the symphony seem to stand on terra firma, and even this starts to shift ominously under the melody’s feet. For all his grace, wit and zest for life, Mozart was never afraid to look straight and hard at the most serious of questions. But the music tells it better, and Cimador’s arrangement gives some idea of how bold and fresh this symphony must have sounded to those first, astonished listeners on the opposite side of Europe.

LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN (1770-1827) Symphony No. 3 in E flat major Op. 55 Eroica (arr. Masi & Lim) Allegro con brio Marcia funebre (Adagio assai) Scherzo: Allegro vivace Allegro molto – Poco Andante, con espressione Two chords ring out. Ludwig van Beethoven seizes the score of his newly-completed Bonaparte Symphony, tears off its title page and, furious, hurls it to the floor. Few moments in music are more powerful than the opening of Beethoven’s third symphony, and few musical christenings have been more dramatic. And just this once, the legend might be true. Early in 1804, Beethoven’s biographer Ferdinand Ries saw with his own eyes the title page of the new symphony. It read, simply: “Bonaparte”. Ries was the first to tell Beethoven, some time shortly after 18th May that year, that the great republican had crowned himself Emperor. “He flew into a rage and shouted: ‘So he, too, is just an ordinary man like the rest. Now he will trample on the rights of man, pander only to his own ambitions and become a tyrant!’ Beethoven went to the table, took hold of the title page, ripped it all the way through, and flung it on the floor.” Beethoven gave the work a new name: Sinfonia eroica, composta per festiggiare il sovvenire di un grand ‘Uomo – “Heroic Symphony, composed to celebrate the memory of a great man”. Its final dedication was to Prince Joseph von Lobkowitz, whose house orchestra gave the first public performance in December 1804. Those two opening chords blast the road wide open – and within bars, a syncopated dissonance is grating against the swinging first theme. The movement climaxes with a further series of huge, pounding dissonances, and moments later, as the

orchestra holds, breathlessly, for the grand return of the opening theme, a horn makes a deliberate false entry. Beethoven’s point is hard to miss: what was once wrong is now gloriously right. Nor is the tremendous Marcia funebre that follows to be taken as literal. Beethoven takes the muffled drums and martial rhythms of French Revolutionary wind music and turns them into an expression of mourning on a universal scale. The brilliant, freewheeling scherzo is a natural musical reaction to emotion on such a scale. But there’s a bigger surprise in store as, after an opening flourish, Beethoven launches his finale with a bare sequence of bass notes. They’re repeated and the orchestra ventures the odd comment until, with wonderful simplicity, the long-awaited theme glides gracefully in - a contredanse from an 1801 ballet score. The ballet was Prometheus; its story, broadly, was the liberation of humanity through art. Beethoven’s jubilant final flourish declares an allegiance higher than any politician. To render a work like the Eroica down to domestic proportions took some doing – though it’s worth remembering that Prince Lobkowitz’s orchestra comprised only 28 players. This version, dating from around 1810, by the Rome-born, London resident pianist and composer Girolamo Masi (17681834) - himself a refugee from Napoleon’s invasion of Italy – omits a couple of the more challenging passages from Beethoven’s original. For this performance, Vi King Lim has restored the missing music, while retaining Masi’s own choice of instruments: flute and string quintet, plus an additional viola to supply some of the missing richness and depth of Beethoven’s orchestra. Beethoven, after all, transformed the sound of the Eroica by enlarging the horn section from two players to three. In music, small things can make a huge impact. Richard Bratby
