DEDICATION

VANCLIBURN planist- legend- friend It is with greatjoy that the Boardof Directors of the Van Cliburn Foundation dedicates the program of the Thirteenth Competition to Van Cliburn in commemoration of his 50th anniversary of winning the first Tchaikovsky InternationalCompetition. Van Cliburn is the oniy ciassicaimusician to be given a ticker-tape parade in New York City and hailed as an American hero. He is internationally regardedasa persuasiveambassadorof American culture and one of the greatestpianists in the history of music. With hls historic 1958 victory in Moscow ar the height of the Cold War, Van Cliburn tore down cultural barriers years ahead of glasnost and perestroika, transcendingpolitics by demonstrating the universality of classicalmusic.

Van was awarded the Medal of Freedom by President George W Bush, which recognizedhis achievementsand rhe servicehe has given his country throughout the span of five decadesas a master of diplomacy rhrough his gift of music. He has received Kennedy Center Honors and the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. In a Kremlin Ceremony, he received the Order o[ Friendship from PresidentVladimir Putin.

Van has lifted many curtains around the world and ignited a passion for classicalmusic, especiallythe repertoire of the piano. He set a standardthat still stands,even as he imparts a technique that is more art and gift than a style that can ever be replicated. Bravo! will always ring in our hearts for our beloved Van.

Connectto the Americanexperience through great works of art.

Admissionis free.

Participatingln the Cliburn Competitionwas very specialfor me, not only becauseof its greatreputation,but alsobecauseit gaveme the opportunity to come to the United States.I never expectedmy first visit to America to be so unforgettablelAnd this wasnt just becauseI happenedto win first prize.

Most memorablewere the incrediblepeopleI met in Fort Worth and in many other citiesand towns I performedin following the competition.Many have becomefriendsfor life-people who support me no matter what happensin life and despitethe fact that we come from very differentcultures.

If I haveany advicefor the 2009 Cliburn participants,rememberthat even if you havesuccessat somepoint in your career,the work it takesto be a great artist can never stop. Taking the time to learn about other areasof life is also quite important. And most of all, be patient with the world and yoursell when things don't go the way you thought they should. The Cliburn opensdoors that can lead to your finding your placein the world of classicalmusic. But it rs ultimately up to you to walk through and createthe next way forward

What unified Cliburns audiencesin Moscowand ever)'where he went for years afterward was his communrcativeartistic achier.ement, his depth and generosityof leeling,and the missionaryzeal he feelsfor the gospelof music. With these human and artisticqualities,he burst through the iron eurtarn between his country and the Sovlet Union that had been firmly drawn for more than a decade.SovieLmusicianswere amazedthat Cliburn was not the Americanmonsterdepicted rn Sovietpropaganda-and astonishedthat he playedRussran music better than most Russranpianistsdid. He becamean lnspiration to many generationsof younger artists toiling away in practicerooms around the world and helped make his own country saferfor music and musicians.

Today Cliburn lives in Fort Worth. Texas.in a largehome fil1edwith memorabiliaand pianos.He takesa iively interest in the quadrennialcompetition founded in his name by his many admirers,and in its winners and competitors.And he st i l l o cca s r onally v ent ur eso u t ro p e rl o rm.

Recently,the pianist, in a gregariousmood, settleddown on the phone to talk about a subjecthe usuallyprefersto avoidhimself,and specificallyhls youngerself,the conqueringhero who becamean Americanicon.

Anton Rubinstein.

JuilliardsRosinaLhevinne,Cliburnsother teacher,wasalsoRussian,Russian-tmincd, and the widow o[ the gr-eatRussianpianisLJosei Lhcvinne.Cliburns pianistic upbringingtook placein Texasand New York,but it was also all-Russian.

"I prew rrn hearinsabout Mr. Friedheimand all the other great pi ani stsof that ti me." C l i hurn rccal l s. My mot her didn't kndw nursery rhymes, srr rnstcadshe would tell me storiesabout Liszt and Chopin. We had a wind-up VicLrr'rla and a decentlibrarytrI recordings, on breakable7Bsin those days,so we would listen to the great Rachmaninoffand she would talk about the thrilling world she had lived in. She painted picturesrn words and it took my breath away.I had to iearn later what a nurservrhvme was!"

The first announcementoi thc Tchaikovsky Competition reached the New York offices of Steinway & Sons, the eminent piano manufacturlng firm, early in September, 1957. "A friend lrom Steinwaycalledtc.rtell me about it," Ciiburn remembers,"and not long after that Mrs. Lhevinne calledme too. Both of them felt it would maybebe a good thing if I were to enter the competitlon.tt drdn't take much persuading-l just wanted to go to Russiaso much. When I was five yearsoid, my parcntsgaveme a picture book about world history for Christmas,and in it there were pictures of St. Basil'sCathedraland the Kremlin. I wanted to so and see them right then and there."

To get to Moscow,Cliburn took his hrst ride on a jet. "l left New York on the evenlngol March 26 and it was a circuitt'lus trip: Boston,Paris,Prague.The Pragueto Moscow leg was a iet; we didn't havecommercialjets. When the piane landed a little militiaman cameon and checkedmy passport.I smiled at him and he smiled back. A nice lady from the ministry of culture came up to meet me: 'Mr. Van Kieeburn?Welcome to Moscow' 'WhereverI am staying,'I askedher, 'could we pleasedrive past the Church of St. Basilfirst?'I wanredro see it that very night, and it was breathtaking."

For the competition, Cliburn had to prepare a substantial repeilory Someof the works were alreadycornerstonesfor him. He had played the first movement of the Tchaikovsky Concertowith the Housron Symphony Orchestrawhen he

The format of the competition meant he could play familiar works like these,but he alsohad to learn pieceshe had never seen or heard, such as a movementof Tchaikovsky'sGrand Sonatain G, a Prelude and Fugue by Taneyev,and a new piece wrltten especialiyfor the compelition by the Russian composerDimitri Kabaler.'sky.

I loved the Kabalevskypiece,a rondo, and wanted to record it. But he wanted to reviseit first, and never got around to it, so that projectwent by the wayside."

"l can't explain it," he says. ''but it was a wonderful, comfortable experience. I never felt any uncomfortable moment.

In the second round the responsewas even wilder, and Cliburn feverspreadfar beyond the GreatHall becauseparts o[ the competition were broadcastand televisedon lhe state channels.

In the third round, alter Cliburn had playedthe Rachmaninoff the tumultuous standrng Concerto,the.luryrepclrtedly.loined ovation. "Thats true," Ciiburn admits. "I was not supposed to go back onstageafter I had bowed, and the jury was not but Gilelscameand pulled mc supposedto comebackstage, out in front of the audienceagainand kissedme. That was a momentI cannotbeginto describe."

On April 2, at 9:30 'ur'r-pre-dawn by Cliburn standards sv6n thsn-1he pianist openedthe first round with the B-flat Minor Preiudeand Fuguefrom Book i of Bach'sWdl-Tempered Therewasanothernrght of performancesby other contestants Clavter.The preludeis emotionallycharged,and the complex and there was also some drama in the .1uryroom: some flve-voicefugue asksfor whom the bell tolls. membersof the lury were targetingtheir scoresso that the Cliburn must have been nervous."I never had any contact leadingSovietcontestantwould win, but they were olfsetby other membersof the jury who were doing the samething ln with the lury until afterthe competrtionwasover,but it was a reverse.And even when it becameclear that Cliburn had tcr frighteningand lormidablegroup, and they sat nght rn front win, the declsioncould not be announceduntil after it had of the sLage,at a long tabie coveredwith greencloth. I could clearedwirh Khrushcher,'. such eminent been seeIthe composer]Dimitri Shostakovich, land pianistsasl Emil Gilels,SviatoslavRichter,and all the others. "l didn't find this out uniil years later," Clihurn says.

And the Great Hall is haliowed ground becauseof all the "Khrushcher.'s son, Dr. SergerKhrushcher',teachesat Brown people who have perlormed there, and the beloved music University,and he told me how they cameto seehis father." that was premieredthere."

But Cliburn was alsoat home with the music he was playing.

"My mother gaveme the preludesand fuguesof Bachwhen I was a child, and she alwaysmade me sing the fugue theme, The human voice was the first musical instrument,and our job as pianistsis to take the piano,a percussioninstrument, and meld the manual work wiLh the pedal in order to create a srngingquality."

Next came a Mozart sonata, and the first indication that Cliburn was making a strong impact on the public. "I was shockedat the reaction,which was so very enthusiasticand gracious.I had to stand up twice."

Cllburn spent a lot oi his time practicing between rounds, but he also walked around Moscow with some of his oid Americanfriendswho were in the competitionand someof his new Russianfriends

The lormal announcementthat Cliburn had won did not come until a ceremonyon Monday,April 14. "Shostakovich gaveme the award, Do you know what I felt like? I [e1tas if I had been rewardedfor twenty yearsof hard 1abor,given a passportto explorehow many placesI could havethe pleasure o[ going to, how many audiences] could 6ssr \A/inninoa competitionpresentsa cycleo[ opportunities."

Meanwhile,Cliburns semifinaland final rounds had been reporLedon the front page o[ the New YorlzTimes,although Cliburn didn't know it yct. When the ceremony was over and he couid finally escapethe mob scenes,Cliburn called home. " l w assri l l l i vi ngi n K i l gorei n my head.I calledm y par ent s and I askedmy mother to pleasecall this iady we knew and tell her that I had won. All she saidwas,'Honey,she already

Cllburn sayshe was "flabbergasted" by the parade.And his family helped keep his feet on the ground. "As we stood wa i ti n g[or t he c ar .m y mo lh e r s a i dto me .' Asy o u a re ri d i ng along, be thinking of what you are going to say.'What I did say was that I was grateful for all this attention, but I also hoped people would realize that what I was really grateful Ibr was that they were honoring classicalmusrc. I felt I was only an instrument,a personwho was a messenger.

A l th o u g hhe has play edo fte n fo r p re s i d e n Lmo s . n a rc h sa. nd potentateson ceremonialoccasionsof every kind, Cliburn alwaysrefusedto get involved in the politrcalside of things, even when his admiratlon of Russia and Russianswasn't r rni.terca

Today Cliburn says he always felt renewed by audiences.

"My family was very community oriented,and I grew up in a town where most everybodyknew eachother-you had to be carefulif you misbehavedbecauseyour neighborswould tell your mother and daddy!

But it was a very happy time for me. I adoreopera,for example, and I now had the opportunity to hear so many of the great singers."

Encouragementto re-enterthe fray camefrom an unexpected quarter.In 1983, Emil Gilels played what turned out to be his last performancein New York beforehis death."We were having dinner, and I was afraidhe was going to scoldme. But insteadhe said,'Bravo.You took time o[f. You were so wise to do that, to havesome life for yourself.'But then he added, 'I feel that when you play the next tlme, it will have something to do with Russia.'And it did-when I was invited to play for Presidentand Mrs. Reaganand Soviet general-secretary Mikhail Gorbachevin 1987 " In the two decadessincethat legendaryWhite Houseconcert, Cliburn has restrictedthe number of hls appearances, but he has no intention of taking another sabbatical."Conductors and lnstrumentalistskeep on going until the end, or until they can'tanymore.Music ls alwayspart of your llfe."

CLIBURN L A U R E A T ETSH:EE N DIS THEBEGINNING

by WayneLeeGay Every four years, they stand on stage basking in the glow of a top-prize finish in the world's most demanding and prestigiouspiano competition.Yearsof hard work have paid off-they've crossedthe finish line aheadof the pack in the m os t c hall e n g i n ra g c eo f th e i rs ti l l y o u n gl i ves.

But while these extraordinaryartists deserveto take a few minutes to savortheir extraordinaryfinish, the sar,'vyamong t hem k no w th e C l i b u rn s e n d tru l y m a rks a begi nni ng.

Indeed, for thosesix laureateswho will stand on the stageof BassPerformanceHall on the evening of June 7, 2009, the real work toward establishinga careerin classicalmusic is wait ingjus t i n th e w i n g s .

They will face a world in which the arts must conslantly flght for a placern a high-pacedand over-committedsociety, wheremany do not havethe time to appreciatean insightfully performed slow movement, let alone the attention span to absorban entire concerto.

They will also experienceunprecedentedopportunity for the perlorming artist-the promiseof immediatecontactwith an audienceof billions, aswell as informatlon and technological resourcesto dei'elop innovative programs and involve Iistenersbeyond the dreamso[ pastconcertsoloists.

The first generatlonof Cliburn laureateswho acknowledged the cheersof Fort Worth music lovers has seenemoiresfall

and old truths disappear;theseartistshavemade musrcrn an era of unprecedentedchange.Through the years, they and their talentedsuccessors in eachensuingCliburn Competition have found new ways to bring the gift of musrc to the world.

Somehavefocusedon building the musicallife on a campus, in a city, in a region, or even acrossa nati.on.Somecontinue to explore new paths to approachmusic of the past, while others devote energy to discovering and championing the music of toda;r Somestep from the prano to the conductors podium, sometimesin the sameprogram.Almost all of them teach, whether engaginga steady,carefully selectedgroup of students at a college or conservatory,or in the master classesthat have increasinglybecomean integral part of the concertcircult. Someorganizefestivalsor concertseries,and devoteas much time to presentingother artistsas they do to promoti ngthei row n careers as performe r s.

As the Cliburn nears its 50'h anniversary,a few of its first laureatesare beginning to take final bows. Members of the audience that cheered them in the 1960s had heard Rachmaninoffp1ay.Members of the audiencewho hear the 2009 finalistsplay have children who will live to hear the music of the twenty-secondcentury. As the years go by and their numbers increase,the Cliburn prizewinners are individually and collectivelymaking their imprint known.

And when today'syoung listenersare old, and sit in some concerthall of the future, they are sure ro hear music shaped by the Cliburn Competitionand its laureates
