a note from the chair and the president

DEAR VALUED PATRONS, We are delighted to welcome you back to Symphony Center. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association has been anticipating this happy reunion for many, many months. Thank you for being among the first to rejoin us for live concerts since March of 2020. It is our great pleasure to again be able to share the magical performances of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra within these walls.

The continuous artistic guidance of Zell Music Director Riccardo Muti, the dedication of the Orchestra members, collaboration across the organization, and discussions with city and public health officials have made these concerts possible. A thoughtful and thorough planning process led to the creation of “Safe and Sound” measures adopted to welcome listeners back to Symphony Center this spring. Thank you for adhering to these guidelines designed to ensure that your cultural experience is also a healthy one.

For the opening concert on May 27, we welcomed healthcare workers from Rush University System for Health, whose partnership during the pandemic has allowed CSO musicians to safely rehearse and perform a wide variety of digital programs created for CSOtv during the 2020–21 season. We also thank leading epidemiologist Dr. Emily Landon for her invaluable expertise throughout the planning process.

We all have missed that electricity that exists in Orchestra Hall when it is filled with eager listeners and the extraordinary music-making of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. On behalf of the entire CSOA, please know how deeply moved we are by your presence for these auspicious concerts, and let us look forward to more in person musical experiences to come.

that suggests the bravado of Don Juan’s innumerable conquests (Leporello’s catalogue raisonné tallies 2,065 and still counting). In the opera house, the overture plunges straight into the drama, but Mozart quickly recognized that the overture he had written in such haste was worth playing on its own, and so he wrote thirteen measures that bring it to a stately conclusion without for a moment erasing the suspense of its cliffhanger opening.

Don Giovanni has fascinated and challenged every generation since it was written. Goethe said that only Mozart could have set his Faust to music, and that “it would have to be music like Don Giovanni.” E.T.A. Hoffmann was so enraptured by the opera that he changed one of his names from Friedrich to Amadeus— despite the fact that Mozart never actually used that name himself. Flaubert said that “the three finest things in creation are the sea, Hamlet, and Mozart’s Don Giovanni.” And even Beethoven, who claimed that Lorenzo da Ponte’s libretto was unworthy of music, liked Mozart’s opera just fine, and quoted Leporello’s famous catalog aria in his own Diabelli Variations.

Mozart wrote the overture to Don Giovanni at the last minute, working through the night—Constanze plied him with food and drink and told stories to keep him awake—and completing it just in time to have the parts copied before the final rehearsal that morning. The premiere had already been postponed twice, once because of insufficient rehearsal time, and again when one of the leading singers got sick. The overture begins with premonitions of the opera’s dark side—lightning bolt chords, murmuring undercurrents, and then the famous rising and falling chromatic lines that compress all the opera’s demonic drama into a left to r i gh t: Mozart, in the unfinished few chilling measures of oil portrait by brother-in-law Joseph Lange music (they will return (1751–1831), 1782 at the opera’s climax).

Although Cosima Wagner was born on December 24, she chose to celebrate her birthday on the twenty-fifth. Her diary entry for Sunday, December 25, 1870, reads: When I woke up I heard a sound, it grew ever louder, I could no longer imagine myself in a dream, music was sounding, and what music! After it had died away, R. came in to me with the five children and put into my hands the score of his “symphonic birthday greeting.” I was in tears, but so, too, was the whole household; R. had set up his orchestra on the stairs and thus consecrated our Tribschen forever!

The Tribschen Idyll—so the work is called . . .

R. is her beloved Richard, and two of the five children are Cosima’s from her previous marriage to Hans von Bülow, whom she abruptly left for the man that even Hans, a talented pianist and

COMMENTS

conductor, admitted to be his superior in the world of music.

The other three are five-year-old Isolde; Eva, three; and Siegfried, eighteen months—Cosima and Richard Wagner’s children, all born before their marriage on August 25, 1870. Tribschen is the name of the house on a promontory overlooking Lake Lucerne, where Cosima and Richard made their home. Tribschen Idyll is, of course, the Siegfried Idyll—though it wasn’t given that name for many years, after the Wagners elected to publish their private musical communication in exchange for a nice sum of money. (“The secret treasure is to become public property,” Cosima wrote in her diary.)

Richard and Cosima first declared their love for each other on November 28, 1863 (like all the important events in their life together—and many of much lesser significance—it is well documented); at the time, both were married to others—she to Bülow, who was a student of her father, Franz Liszt; he to Minna Planer, an actress four years his senior, from whom he was estranged. The union between Richard and Cosima was consummated in June 1864. The following years brought artistic triumphs and personal scandals as well as an astonishing mixture of private and professional events, including the birth of Isolde, Richard and Cosima’s first child, on the very day that Bülow, still Cosima’s husband, began orchestral rehearsals for Wagner’s newest work, Tristan and Isolde.

In 1869, after the triumphant premieres of Tristan and Isolde and Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, Wagner resumed work on the Ring (which he had abandoned twelve years earlier), beginning with act 3 of Siegfried. In June, his only son, inevitably named Siegfried, was born. The following year, the Bülows’ marriage was legally dissolved (Wagner’s wife Minna had died in 1866), and on August 25 Richard and Cosima were married in the Protestant church in Lucerne. Wagner once called 1870 the happiest year of his life.

Wagner composed the Tribschen Idyll later that year to celebrate his private joys: the domestic bliss of married life after years of secretiveness and scandal, the long-hoped-for birth of a son, his undying love for Cosima, and the composition of Siegfried (which in turn promised the completion of the Ring, the single greatest artistic achievement of his life). It was designed to be performed on the steps leading up to Cosima’s bedroom at Tribschen, and its instrumentation was dictated by the size of the staircase. (The first performance was given by thirteen or fifteen players—regarding this detail, oddly, there is conflicting evidence.) The piece was secretly rehearsed by the conductor Hans Richter, who learned to play the trumpet especially for the occasion (the part is just twelve measures long).

The Idyll, an astonishingly beautiful and extravagant birthday gift from a man not always known for his generosity, was performed three times on Christmas Day in 1870. abov e: Cosima and Richard Wagner, 1872.

wake-up-call premiere, the household stopped for breakfast. The players then reassembled and the piece was repeated, followed by the wedding march from Lohengrin, Beethoven’s Septet, and yet another performance of the Idyll.

Cosima was used to hearing snatches of extraordinary music around the house, but she immediately recognized that the Idyll was unique in her husband’s output. Wagner called the Idyll a symphony in the autograph score, and, when it was published in 1877, he described it as a “symphonic birthday greeting.” He had struggled with symphonic form as a young composer—he remained fond of a very Beethovenian symphony in C major that he had composed when he was twenty-nine—and continued to sketch ideas for other symphonies into his last years. The month before his death, he spoke to Cosima about a single-movement symphonic work in which the melodies would flow one into another.

T

he Siegfried Idyll—this title apparently dates from a performance in Meiningen in 1877—remains Wagner’s only instrumental work that is regularly played. The main theme is a generous and lilting melody sung by Brünnhilde in act 3 of Siegfried to the words beginning “Ewig war ich” (I always was, I always am, always in sweet yearning bliss). Wagner claimed that this music came to him during the summer of 1864 at the Villa Pellet, overlooking Lake Starnberg, where he and Cosima consummated their union. (He is contradicted, however, by his own obsessive record keeping: the melody was composed that November 14, when he was alone in Munich.) A second theme, introduced by the oboe, is a lullaby Wagner jotted down on New Year’s Eve 1868. The music is unusually intimate and restrained for a composer who lived a life of excess. It’s the most personal of all his works: the title page of the published score refers to “Fidi-Birdsong and Orange Sunrise”; Fidi was a favorite nickname for little Siegfried, and the sunrise was the “incredibly beautiful, fiery glow,” in Cosima’s words, of the wallpaper in his room when it was struck by the morning sun.

More than any other of Wagner’s scores, the Siegfried Idyll marries the private and public sides of the most famous composer of the nineteenth century. The Siegfried of the title is both the third music drama of the Ring cycle and Wagner’s son—who was destined to carry his father’s name and beaked silhouette into the next century.

Ironically, it is Mozart’s last three symphonies rather than the famous requiem that remain the mystery of his final years. Almost as soon as Mozart died, romantic myth attached itself to the unfinished pages of the requiem left scattered on his bed; a host of questions—who commissioned the work?; who finished it?; was Mozart poisoned?— inspired painters, novelists, biographers, librettists, playwrights, and screenwriters to heights of imaginative re-creation. We now know those answers: the requiem is unfinished, but not unexplained.

The final symphonies, on the other hand—no. 39 in E-flat, the “great” G minor (no. 40), and the Jupiter (no. 41)—continue to beg more questions than we can answer. Even what was once the most provocative fact about these works—that Mozart never heard them—is now doubtful. We no longer believe that Mozart wrote these three great symphonies for the drawer alone—that goes against all we know of his working methods. But we don’t know what orchestra or occasion he had in mind. Apparently, a series of subscription to p to bot to m: Riccardo Muti leads the concerts was planned for Chicago Symphony Orchestra on September 27, the summer of 1788, when 2018. Photo by Todd Rosenberg Mozart entered the three Mozart, silverpoint drawing by Dora Stock symphonies in his catalog, (1760–1832), taken during a visit to Dresden in 1789 but there is no evidence

that the performances took place. It is likely that the works were conceived as a trilogy, with publication in mind (symphonies often were printed in groups of three), but they weren’t published during Mozart’s lifetime.

Did Mozart ever hear them? Even if the projected subscription series of 1788 never took place, Mozart did tour Germany the following year, conducting concerts for which we have only sketchy details. “A Symphony,” for example, was advertised for the program at the Leipzig Gewandhaus on May 12. And back home in Vienna, no less a musical heavyweight than Antonio Salieri conducted concerts on April 16 and 17, 1791, featuring a “grand symphony”

by Mozart. The fact that the G minor symphony exists in two versions—with and without clarinets—argues that Mozart revised the score for a specific performance.

No Mozart symphony—not even the brilliant Jupiter—has caused as much commotion over the years as this one in G minor, sometimes known as the “great” to distinguish it from an earlier symphony in the same key. It was one of a handful of Mozart’s works to capture the romantic imagination. Like the D minor piano concerto, K. 466, it was played and admired even when Mozart’s reputation was at its lowest. It also is one of the pieces that hints at the music Mozart might have written had he lived. It inspired later composers, certainly—just listen to the minuet of Schubert’s Fifth Symphony. As with the greatest art, Mozart’s music means vastly different things to different people. Robert Schumann loved its Grecian lightness and grace; what carried it through the nineteenth century, however, was the force of its tragic power and its emotional complexity.

L

ike Beethoven’s Fifth, Mozart’s G minor symphony opens with material as famous as it is simple. In those few notes—some nervous pulsing from the violas and an unmelodious stammering from the violins—lies one of music’s unforgettable gestures.

Fifty years after Mozart’s death, Franz Liszt produced piano arrangements of Beethoven’s nine symphonies, claiming that, aside from sheer volume and variety of timbre, one could reproduce the essence of such music at the keyboard. Mendelssohn later commented: “Well, if he can play the beginning of Mozart’s G minor symphony as it sounds in the band, I will believe him.”

A response from Liszt is not recorded, but it takes no more than a few seconds at the piano to prove Mendelssohn’s point.

The movement progresses with such regularity, and at an urgent, no-nonsense clip (Mozart stepped up the tempo from his original Allegro assai to Molto allegro) that we are totally unprepared for the sudden harmonic jolts of the development section.

Those few rocky pages, however, do warn us of the wrenching chromaticism in the Andante that follows, and of the eight unison bars in the finale that still sound completely haywire today. The Andante is so poignant and so touching that we may not even realize that it is in a major key. Although it follows all the rules, the powerful minuet suggests many things, but not social dancing. Despite its inherent turbulence, the persistence of G minor, and the eight measures at the start of the development that push us toward Schoenberg two hundred years before his time, the last movement, like a great opera finale, ultimately creates order.

Phillip Huscher has been the program annotator for the Chicago Symphony since 1987.

chicago symphony orchestra Now celebrating its 130th season, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra is consistently hailed as one of the world’s leading orchestras. In September 2010, renowned Italian conductor Riccardo Muti became its tenth music director. His vision for the Orchestra—to deepen its engagement with the Chicago community, to nurture its legacy while supporting a new generation of musicians, and to collaborate with visionary artists—signals a new era for the institution.

The Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s distinguished history began in 1889, when Theodore Thomas, then the leading conductor in America and a recognized music pioneer, was invited by Chicago businessman Charles Norman Fay to establish a symphony orchestra here. Thomas’s aim to establish a permanent orchestra with performance capabilities of the highest quality was realized at the first concerts in October 1891. Thomas served as music director until his death in 1905—just three weeks after the dedication of Orchestra Hall, the Orchestra’s permanent home designed

by Daniel Burnham.

Frederick Stock, recruited by Thomas to the viola section in 1895, became assistant conductor in 1899, and succeeded the Orchestra’s founder. His tenure lasted thirty-seven years, from 1905 to 1942— the longest of the Orchestra’s music directors. Dynamic and innovative, the Stock years saw the founding of the Civic Orchestra of Chicago, the first training orchestra in the United States affiliated with a major symphony orchestra, in 1919. Stock also established youth auditions, organized the first subscription concerts especially for children, and began a series of popular concerts.

Three distinguished conductors headed the Orchestra during the following decade: Désiré Defauw was music director from 1943 to 1947; Artur Rodzinski assumed the post in 1947–48; and Rafael Kubelík led the ensemble for three seasons from 1950 to 1953. The next ten years belonged to Fritz Reiner, whose recordings with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra are still considered performance hallmarks. It was Reiner who invited Margaret Hillis to form the Chicago Symphony Chorus in 1957. For the five seasons from 1963 to 1968, Jean Martinon held the position of music director.

Sir Georg Solti, the Orchestra’s eighth music director, served from 1969 until 1991. He then held the title of music director laureate and returned to conduct the Orchestra for several weeks each season until his death in September 1997. Solti’s

arrival launched one of the most successful musical partnerships of our time, and the CSO made its first overseas tour to Europe in 1971 under his direction, along with numerous award-winning recordings.

Daniel Barenboim was named music director designate in January 1989, and he became the Orchestra’s ninth music director in September 1991, a position he held until June 2006. His tenure was distinguished by the opening of Symphony Center in 1997, highly praised operatic productions at Orchestra Hall, numerous appearances with the Orchestra in the dual role of pianist and conductor, twenty-one international tours, and the appointment of Duain Wolfe as the Chorus’s second director.

From 2006 to 2010, Bernard Haitink held the post of principal conductor, the first in CSO history. Pierre Boulez’s long-standing relationship with the CSO led to his appointment as principal guest conductor in 1995. He was named Helen Regenstein Conductor Emeritus in 2006, a position he held until his death in January 2016. Only two others have served as principal guest conductors: Carlo Maria Giulini, who began to appear in Chicago regularly in the late 1950s, was named to the post in 1969, serving until 1972; Claudio Abbado held the position from 1982 to 1985.

Cellist Yo-Yo Ma served as the CSO’s Judson and Joyce Green Creative Consultant from 2010 to 2019. In this role, he partnered with Riccardo Muti, staff, and musicians to provide development for the Negaunee Music Institute at the CSO. Jessie Montgomery is the Mead Composer-in-Residence designate and will begin her term in July 2021. She follows ten highlyregarded composers in this role, including John Corigliano and Shulamit Ran, winners of the Pulitzer Prize for Music, and Missy Mazzoli, who will complete her three-year tenure this June. In addition to composing works for the CSO, the holder of the position curates the contemporary MusicNOW series.

Since 1916, recording has been a significant part of the Orchestra’s activities. Current releases on CSO Resound, the Orchestra’s independent recording label, include the Grammy Award–winning release of Verdi’s Requiem led by Riccardo Muti.

Recordings by the CSO have earned sixty-three Grammy awards from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. cso.org
