Perspectivesfrom the Executive Director January 2014 On behalf of every member of The Cleveland Orchestra family, we welcome you to these first concerts of 2014. This month, Franz Welser-Möst and the Orchestra launch a multiyear exploration of the music of Johannes Brahms. His symphonies and major concertos will be performed here in Severance Hall as well as on tour, and the repertoire will be recorded for worldwide television broadcast and release on DVD. Franz and the Orchestra are working in partnership with acclaimed soloist Julia Fischer for the violin concerto and plans are being made for Yefim Bronfman to return next season for the two piano concertos. Our focus on the music of Brahms follows closely on the heels of our exploration of Bruckner symphonies recorded for television and DVD between 2006 and 2012. Those recordings, together with live performances on three continents, have brought great acclaim to the ongoing partnership between Franz and the Orchestra. Among the highlights of the Brahms focus will be a series of concerts next September in Austria pairing all four Brahms symphonies with works by Jörg Widmann, who was the Orchestra’s Lewis Young Composer Fellow in 2009-11. Widmann’s Teufel Amor is being given its American premiere performances this month at Severance Hall, January 16-18. Last month saw the Annual Meeting of the Orchestra’s non-profit governing organization, the Musical Arts Association, and the news that in 2012/13 we balanced the budget, grew the endowment, and developed a larger and younger audience. In covering these year-end results, the Plain Dealer reported that “The Cleveland Orchestra is now exactly where a thriving organization needs to be.” Much of the credit for ongoing good news accrues to the leadership and generosity of our Board of Trustees led by President Dennis W. LaBarre. I hope you will take a moment to read Dennis’s Annual Report message on pages 25 and 26 of this book, in which he details the success of the past year and looks ahead to the Orchestra’s Centennial. The Cleveland Orchestra finished 2013 strongly with record-breaking ticket sales for the Holiday Festival here at Severance Hall, and numerous expressions of support in the form of year-end philanthropic gifts. Many thanks to each and every generous donor who remembered the Orchestra as 2013 drew to a close. Our Annual Fund continues through to the end of the Orchestra’s fiscal year on June 30, with an ambitious goal of exceeding even last year’s all-time record. If you have not yet made your pledge, please consider how you might help with a new or increased gift. Thank you. I close with special congratulations and thanks to the Cleveland Foundation, which marked its one-hundredth birthday on January 2. Created as the world’s first community foundation in 1914, this non-profit philanthropic organization has helped bring focus and funding toward an evolving set of common goals, including support for the many arts groups that together create a vibrant cultural climate that each year enhances and energizes the quality of life here. Hats off to one-hundred years of commitment and success in strengthening Northeast Ohio.

The Cleveland Orchestra’s Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Concert, held this year for the 34th time, fills the stage at Severance Hall with performers — featuring the volunteer Celebration Chorus assembled and prepared especially for this event each January.

and around the globe, The Cleveland Orchestra remains Northeast Ohio’s most visible international ambassador and 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 Music Festival, in residencies from Miami to Vienna, and on tour around the world, The Cleveland Orchestra sets standards of artistic excellence, creative programming, and active community engagement. With the 2013-14 season, Franz Welser-Möst enters his twelft h year leading the ensemble, with a commitment extending to the Orchestra’s centennial in 2018. This artistic partnership continues to move the ensemble forward through a series of new and ongoing initiatives, including: IN PE RFORMANCE S AT HOME

expansion of education and community programs in Northeast Ohio to feature music as an integral and regular part of everyday life for more people, including the launch this past spring of an “At Home” neighborhood residency program that brings The Cleveland Orchestra to a single neighborhood or town

About the Orchestra

The Cleveland Orchestra

for an intensive week of special activities and performances, as well as the broadening of the Orchestra’s ongoing education and community engagement initiatives to include Make Music!, a program of active and participatory experience and learning; the establishment of residencies around the world, fostering creative artistic growth and an expanded financial base — including ongoing residencies at the Vienna Musikverein (the first of its kind by an American orchestra) and in Florida under the name Cleveland Orchestra Miami (featuring an annual series of concerts and community activities, coupled with educational presentations and collaborations based on successful programs pioneered at home in Cleveland); creative new artistic collaborations with arts institutions in Northeast Ohio, including staged works, concerts, and chamber music performances; a concentrated and successful effort to develop future generations of audiences for Cleveland Orchestra concerts in Northeast Ohio, through research, targeted discounts, social media promotion, and student ticket programs, with demonstrated results at Severance Hall and Blossom; a variety of new concert offerings (including KeyBank Fridays@7 and Celebrity Series at Severance Hall as well as movie, themed, and family presentations at Blossom) to play more music for more people; the return of ballet as a regular part of the Orchestra’s presentations, featuring ongoing collaborations with Chicago’s Joffrey Ballet; continuing and expanded educational partnerships with schools, colleges, and universities across Northeast Ohio and beyond; concert tours from coast to coast in the United States, including regular appearances at Carnegie Hall; ongoing recording activities, including new releases under the direction of Franz Welser-Möst, Mitsuko Uchida, and Pierre Boulez, as well as a series of acclaimed DVD concert presentations of symphonies by Anton Bruckner led by Welser-Möst. 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.

Franz Welser-Möst Music Director Kelvin Smith Family Endowed Chair The Cleveland Orchestra

marks Franz Welser-Möst’s twelfth 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 extending and enhancing its community programming at home in Northeast Ohio, 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 is general music director of the Vienna State Opera. 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. Mr. Welser-Möst’s championship of community music-making expands upon his active participation in educational programs and collaborative programming, including the Cleveland Orchestra Youth Orchestra and partnerships with music conservatories, universities, and other arts institutions 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 regular new 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, Sean Shepherd, and Ryan Wigglesworth. Franz Welser-Möst has led a series of opera performances during his tenure P H OTO BY S ATO S H I AOYAG I

Music Director

in Cleveland, re-establishing the Orchestra as an important operatic ensemble. Following six seasons of opera-in-concert presentations, he brought fully staged opera back to Severance Hall with a three-season cycle of Zurich Opera productions of the MozartDa Ponte operas. He led concert performances of Strauss’s Salome at Severance Hall and at Carnegie Hall in May 2012 and in May 2014 brings an innovative made-for-Cleveland production of Leoš Janáček’s The Cunning Little Vixen to Northeast Ohio. 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 Sven-Eric Bechtolf, and critically praised new productions of Hindemith’s Cardillac and Janáček’s Katya Kabanova and From the House of the Dead. During the 201314 season, his Vienna schedule includes a new production of Puccini’s The Girl of the Golden West, as well as performances of Tristan and Isolde, Verdi’s Don Carlo, Beethoven’s Fidelio, and Richard Strauss’s Ariadne auf Naxos and Der Rosenkavalier. Mr. Welser-Möst also maintains an ongoing relationship with the Vienna Philharmonic. Recent performances with the Philharmonic include appearances in concert at La Scala Milan, at New York’s Carnegie Hall, and in opera presentations at the Salzburg Festival. He also led the Philharmonic’s New Year’s Day concert, viewed by telecast in seventy countries worldwide in 2011 and again in 2013. Across a decadelong 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. 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 five of Bruckner’s symphonies, presented in three acoustically 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.

Here, Mr. LaBarre discusses the continuing progress that The Cleveland Orchestra is making in implementing changes for a stronger future, as an institution devoted to the citizens of Northeast Ohio who created it and have sustained it. The complete Annual Report can be read at clevelandorchestra.com by clicking on “Publications” in the “News & Updates” section. T H E C L E V E L A N D O R C H E S T R A ’ S past year has been a

year of success and progress. We have reached the mid-point of a ten-year plan and fundraising campaign to ensure the artistic preeminence, institutional strength, and long-term financial stability of The Cleveland Orchestra as we approach our centennial anniversary in 2018. With ongoing, thorough, and rigorous analysis of the challenges facing the Orchestra, we are making great strides toward our future. Our objectives include fully engaging and serving the community that supports us, building a sound financial foundation, strengthening the institutional fabric across all our constituencies, and, above all, continuing to grow and excel artistically.

THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA

Under the leadership of Franz Welser-Möst, the Orchestra continues to produce music of the highest artistic quality. Franz challenges the musicians with innovative artistic programming, while engaging new corners of the community with new styles of music, new venues, and new artforms. I am inspired by our musicians, who have challenged themselves, too, to become evermore involved in educating and engaging people of all ages. Emblematic of this dedication to the community’s musical enrichment was a special night of music in March 2013 featuring The Cleveland Orchestra performing for the first time with all of its youth ensembles. In May 2013, the Orchestra launched its “Cleveland Orchestra At Home” neighborhood residency program, partnering with organizations throughout the Gordon Square Arts District to serve the community with a week of free public presentations, ensemble performances, and education concerts, and culminating in a Cleveland Orchestra concert in a neighborhood church. The Make Music! concert in March and the “At Home” concert in May were both recorded and telecast on WVIZ/PBS ideastream, reaching audience members throughout the region.

For these achievements, we owe a debt of gratitude to all those who continue to nurture the Orchestra’s advancements, from our volunteers and musicians to our staff and trustees. I extend special thanks to our devoted and generous patrons who make up the audiences of Severance Hall, Blossom, and venues far and wide, CONTINUES

The Orchestra’s financial outlook continues to improve. The Fiscal Year 2014 budget projects another year of break-even results, as was achieved in Fiscal Year 2013. Record-breaking ticket sales, including record numbers of young people, helped drive operating revenue to the highest level in our history. Thousands of individual donors, corporations, and foundations contributed over $10 million to the 2012-13 Annual Fund — a record — which supported over 20% of the Orchestra’s operating costs.

and who continue to support and demand the best from this Orchestra. To build on these successes, and to begin our second century on a secure footing, we must sustain our focus on artistic excellence. Simultaneously, we must continue evolving the ways in which we serve the community, while we establish a sound foundation of financial resources that allow us to do both to the best of our ability.

THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA

To accomplish these goals by 2018, we have undertaken the most ambitious fundraising campaign in our history — the Sound for the Centennial Campaign. The Orchestra’s Endowment today covers just 15% of the Orchestra’s operating costs. The Endowment must expand, through cash gifts and deferred commitments, to provide up to 30% of the Orchestra’s annual operating budget. Until that is achieved, contributions to special fundraising will couple with our robust, ongoing, and increasing Annual Fund to balance the budget and maintain artistic and community programming as the Endowment grows. We are making steady progress toward financial stability thanks to the generosity of thousands of individuals, corporations, and foundations.

CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA THE CLEVELAND ORCHE

The strength of this institution across all constituencies is essential to the successful achievement of our artistic, financial, and operating goals. I am greatly encouraged by new and dynamic working partnerships among all members of the Orchestra family. To further develop the collaboration between trustees and musicians, we plan to add musicians to several Board committees. This past year also saw the successful achievement of a mutually beneficial long-term operating agreement for The Cleveland Orchestra’s Miami residency, which began in 2007 as the first annual adaptation of our residency programs from around the world. This ongoing relationship with Miami is opening the Orchestra to new audiences of music lovers while benefiting the Miami community and contributing to the Orchestra’s overall artistic growth and financial success. Our focus must always be on tomorrow, toward a second century of changing lives through the power of music. As we approach the Orchestra’s centennial anniversary, we seek to build the youngest audience of any orchestra in the country. These young people, with their families, make up the next generations of concertgoers and supporters, helping to ensure the long-term success of this great institution. As much as our centennial is about securing The Cleveland Orchestra’s future, and sustaining the artistic and institutional excellence we are known for worldwide, it is first and foremost about celebrating the community that has supported us through these first one hundred years. We are evolving partnerships with institutions throughout Northeast Ohio. We are seeking new ways to engage and serve this community. We are dedicating ourselves to becoming evermore relevant to our supporters, and to sustaining the practices that have made The Cleveland Orchestra an enduring symbol of this community’s spirit and pride.

2013 European Festivals Tour draws praise for Welser-Möst, Cleveland Orchestra, and Chorus The following are excerpted from press commentary about the Orchestra’s pererformances during its European Tour and Vienna Residency, November 8-22: “The handshakes from Franz Welser-Möst said it all. In acknowledging the principals of the Cleveland Orchestra Friday night at Vienna’s Musikverein, the music director did what most in attendance probably wished they could do themselves: personally thank the group for three superb performances in a row. Not once in their concerts Wednesday through Friday was it apparent that the group had been traveling abroad nearly three weeks. No, here at the end of their 2013 European Tour, the artists played with new focus and energy, and made sure Vienna enjoyed the fruits of their long musical labor. The main thing apparent, frankly, was that the orchestra had been playing Beethoven and Shostakovich nonstop for weeks, and knew their six scores inside and out. Here as nowhere else, the artists transcended the numerous pages on their stands, and simply took advantage of the Musikverein’s legendary acoustics. No less clear was that the audience recognized expertise, and liked what it heard. . . . The response each night was hugely enthusiastic, giving Welser-Möst cause to repeatedly acknowledge individual players and the ensemble as a whole. On Friday, he even went so far as to jog into the bass section.” —The Plain Dealer, November 23, 2013

“Franz Welser-Möst’s interpretations are anything but sober, yet clear in their formal articulation. It is not the conceited omniscience of someone who pretends to understand the world. His concerts reveal an earth-bound assurance, free from spectacle, affectation, and sentimentality. He reads the score and interprets what’s there. Self-denial in favor of the message of the artwork — this penchant for directness is beneficial, even if it is certainly not always successful. Franz WelserMöst has long been able to concentrate on works that really suit him, working on pieces he likes to say are ‘close to his heart’.” —Concerti, November 2013 “The second evening of their visit to Frankfurt started luxuriously: The Cleveland Orchestra’s own chorus performed Beethoven’s Mass in C major at the Alte Oper, joined of course by the orchestra itself from Northeast Ohio, which was the focus of two concerts in the city. The Cleveland Orchestra . . . juxtaposed works by Beethoven with the Sixth and Tenth Symphonies by Dmitri Shostakovich. The symbiosis between the orchestra and the chorus was unsurpassable. Under Austrian conductor Franz Welser-Möst, who has been music director in the city on Lake Erie since 2002, Beethoven’s lyrical, literal setting of the Latin Mass came across lean, subtle, and transparent, despite all the opulence in the performing forces. The balance between singers and instrumentalists was perfect in the soft and mild passages.” —Allgemeine Zeitung, November 12, 2013

INTRODUCING THE CONCERTS

Prague, Poetry& Piano

T H I S W E E K E N D ’ S P R O G R A M offers three musical works. Two, the first and last, by Mozart and Beethoven, were written within a couple decades of one another. The middle one, a newer work by Jörg Widmann, was created over two-hundred years later, but shares its inspiration from the same time period as the others, from the 18th century turning over to the 19th — from Classicism and the Enlightenment leading to Romanticism and a fuller range of human emotions. Mozart’s “Prague” Symphony contains much of this composer’s greatness in a musical nutshell. Form and clarity, proportion and beauty, melody and motion. It is named for the city where it was (probably) premiered in 1787. Just five years earlier, the poet Friedrich Schiller had read a promising work to the theater company in Mannheim — and been rejected. Schiller tried to sell another work to make ends meet, and the other poem was lost but for a single fragment of two lines. These words inspired composer Widmann centuries later to create a musical work of conflictingly beautiMozart, ful qualities, premiered in Vienna in 2012 and with Widmann, its American premiere now here in Cleveland. Beethoven Beethoven’s Fourth Piano Concerto is his most personal. Written as his hearing was fading away, it is a unique exploration of what a soloist and orchestra can do together — and apart. This is Romanticism in full swing, classically contained, perfectly proportioned, unexpectedly elegant and daring. —Eric Sellen

Symphony No. 38 (“Prague”) in D major, K.504 composed 1786 T H E Y E A R WA S 178 6 .

Wolfgang Amadè

MOZART born January 27, 1756 Salzburg died December 5, 1791 Vienna

Severance Hall 2013-14

Three years had passed since Mozart wrote his last symphony, the C-major work known as the “Linz” Symphony (No. 36). These three years were among the most productive in Mozart’s life. In addition to a magnificent series of piano concertos (no fewer than 12 works!), he composed six great string quartets, a host of other chamber music works, and the opera The Marriage of Figaro. This list of works between 1783 and 1786 is impressive not only by its sheer quantity, but also by its quality. Mozart, who had turned thirty in January 1786, had entered a new artistic phase, reaching an unprecedented level of maturity and sophistication. Having mastered the musical conventions of the age as a child and then created his own personal style as a young adult, Mozart was now beginning to write works that were truly unique in the way he treated that style and those conventions. Every page of the “Prague” Symphony bears witness to Mozart’s intention to transcend the scope of what a symphony had normally been. (The same year, his friend Franz Joseph Haydn achieved a similar breakthrough — independently from Mozart — in his six great symphonies for Paris, Nos. 8287). Mozart’s main novelty is a much more complex web of motivic relationships; a few short motifs and melodic gestures provide enough material for a whole movement. In addition, the technical demands placed on the performers significantly increased — there are many more virtuoso passages, intricate syncopations, and sensitive woodwind solos than ever before. The “Prague” is one of only three Mozart symphonies that start with a slow introduction (the other two being the “Linz” and No. 39 in E-flat major). The introduction begins with a typical Mozartian gesture of repeated tonic notes played in unison with rapid scale figures leading up to them. (Similar openings may be found in the overture to Idomeneo and in the “Jupiter” Symphony, No. 41, K.551). The introduction of the “Prague” Symphony, however, soon diverges from all similar openings. The harmonies become more and more chromatic, and the progression culminates with a great D-minor chord that sets off a whole chain of astonishing modulations. Indeed, the intense dramatic power About the Music

A portrait of Mozart, painted in 1819 by Barbara Kraft, based on paintings created during the composerâ€™s lifetime

I cannot write in verse, for I am no poet. I cannot arrange the parts of speech with such art as to produce effects of light and shade, for I am no painter. Even by signs and gestures I cannot express my thoughts and feelings, for I am no dancer. But I can do so by means of sound, for I am a musician. â€”W. A. Mozart, November 1777

of this music anticipates the overture to Don Giovanni, the new opera Mozart was soon to write for Prague. The opening “theme” of the first movement’s main Allegro section is not much of a theme, really. It consists of only one note, repeated by the first violins in syncopation (with off-beat accents) while the other strings intone another motif that is not much more elaborate. Two little, and seemingly inconsequential, “tags” are attached to this opening, one in the violins and one in the winds. In what follows, these elements are combined, transformed, and elaborated contrapuntally; surprisingly, the same material is used again at the point where the conventions would call for a contrasting secondary theme. Yet the contrasting theme — a gentle, lyrical melody — does arrive eventually, introduced by the strings and repeated in the minor mode with an ingenious counterpoint in the bassoons. The movement’s exposition closes with material derived from the opening motifs, which also provide the basis for the intensely contrapuntal development section. In the recapitulation, Mozart changes a single note (A-natural becomes A-sharp in the second violins), which is enough to send the ensuing music on an entirely different course. The central Andante, like the first movement, is in sonata form, with three distinct thematic areas. The first is a singing melody, the second is more turbulent and contains some sudden modulations and dynamic contrasts, while the third breaks down to a string of short motifs whose enchanting effect derives in part from the graceful interplay of the strings and woodwinds. For unknown reasons, the “Prague” Symphony doesn’t have a minuet movement. Its last movement is a dashing Presto, again in sonata form. As in the first movement, syncopations play an important role in the first theme, which is presented both in major and in minor. After the lyrical second melody, the first returns in varied form, and its rhythm serves as accompaniment to the lively closing section. In the development, the main theme is subjected to some exciting transformations with much counterpoint and an abundant use of the dramatic minor mode. The movement has a “false” recapitulation — that is, the main theme returns as at the beginning, only to veer off into further developmental activity. It is fitting, then, that the real recapitulation is much abridged and limited to the second melody and the closing material. —Peter Laki

At a Glance Mozart began writing this symphony in the spring or summer of 1786 and completed it, according to an entry in his manuscript “Catalogue of all my works,” in Vienna on December 6, 1786. It was most likely first performed, under Mozart’s direction, in the Prague opera house, known then as the Nostitz Theater and now as the Estates Theater, on January 19, 1787. This symphony runs about 25 minutes in performance. Mozart scored it for 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani, and strings. The “Prague” Symphony was first performed in the United States on February 2, 1850, with Carl Lenschow leading the Germanic Musical Association of Baltimore. The Cleveland Orchestra first performed it in January 1937, under the direction of Artur Rodzinski. The Orchestra’s most recent performances were in 2006, conducted by Franz Welser-Möst.

Teufel Amor, Symphonic Hymn after Schiller composed 2009-11

Teufel Amor was commissioned by a group of European musical institutions and premiered in April 2012 by the Vienna Philharmonic under the direction of Antonio Pappano. The composer has written the following commentary about this piece, inspired by two lines that have survived from a lost poem by the German poet Friedrich Schiller (1759-1805): AFTER THE REJECTION

Jörg

WIDMANN born June 19, 1973 Munich now living in Freiburg

of his drama Die Verschworung des Fiesco zu Genua [“Fiesco’s Conspiracy at Genoa”] by the Mannheim Theater in 1782, Schiller offered his poem Teufel Amor to a bookseller in Frankfurt for 25 guilders. As the bookseller only offered him 18 guilders for the poem, Schiller, according to Gustav Schwab, “preferred to remain destitute rather than wasting his poetry on a skinflint who was unappreciative of his artistry” and took his poem away with him. Only one tiny scrap of the poem has survived — albeit an exceedingly poetic and also musical fragment: Süsser Amor, verweile Im melodischen Flug

Sweet Amor, remain in melodic flight

A movement as a state of being, and a state of being as movement — an apparently contradictory pair, just like the title of the poem, Teufel Amor, literally translated as “evil love” or “devil love.” Love itself, however, contains more contradictions than anything else in the world, epitomizing the extremes of heaven and hell, pleasure and suffering, paradise and snake-pit. Whoever has been touched by the arrow of love is at the same time a human wounded by an arrow. My imagination was fired by Schiller’s fragment; his conception of the flight of Amor as the heights and depths of a melodic progression inspired me to compose a symphonic hymn that praises the marvels of love — even in its devilish incarnation. —Jörg Widmann 2012

About the Composer JÖRG WIDMANN

served as The Cleveland Orchestra’s Daniel R. Lewis Young Composer Fellow 2009-11. The Orchestra has played a number of his works under Franz Welser-Möst’s direction and will encore several of them later in 2014 in pairings with major works by Johannes Brahms. Widmann was born in Munich in June 1973, and studied clarinet with Gerd Starke at the Hochschule für Musik in Munich and later (1994-1995) with Charles Neidich at the Juilliard School in New York. He began taking composition lessons with Kay Westermann at the age of eleven and subsequently continued his studies with Wilfried Hiller and Hans Werner Henze (1994-1996) and later with Heiner Goebbels and Wolfgang Rihm in Karlsruhe (1997-1999). In 2001, Jörg Widmann was appointed as the successor to Dieter Klöcker as professor of clarinet at the Freiburg Staatliche Hochschule für Musik. He became a professor of composition there in 2009. A series of string quartets, written between 1997 and 2005, form one core of Widmann’s creative output. The five string quartets are intended as a large cycle, with each individual work following a traditional form or setting. These are: String Quartet No. I (1997), followed by Choralquartett (2003, revised 2006) and Jagdquartett (premiered by the Arditti Quartet in 2003). The series was completed in 2005 with String Quartet No. IV, first performed by the Vogler Quartet, and Quartet No. V “Versuch über die Fuge” [Attempt at a Fugue], which features a soprano solo and was premiered by Juliane Banse with the Artemis Quartet. Widmann has also composed a trilogy of works for large orchestra in which he studied the transformation of vocal forms for instrumental forces: Lied (2003-09), Chor (2004), and Messe (2005). In 2007, Christian Tetzlaff and the Junge Deutsche Philharmonie gave the premiere of Widmann’s first Violin Concerto. The same year, Pierre Boulez and the Vienna Philharmonic gave the first performance of Armonica for orchestra, in which Widmann combined the tonal colors of a glass harmonica with orchestra to produce a homogenously breathing body of sounds and sound effects. This was followed by Con brio, an homage to Beethoven. Widmann’s new concerto for flute, titled Flûte en suite, was premiered by The Cleveland Orchestra and principal flute Joshua Smith in May 2011. Widmann has also created musical theater works, including the opera Das Gesicht im Spiegel, which was chosen by the German magazine Opernwelt as the most significant first performance of the 2003-04 Severance Hall 2013-14

season. Am Anfang (2009) was the result of a unique collaboration between a visual artist and a composer; Widmann created the work together with the German painter and sculptor Anselm Kiefer and conducted the world premiere for the 20th anniversary of the Opéra Bastille in Paris. His most recent work is a music-drama called Babylon for the Munich State Opera. Widmann’s great passion as a clarinetist is chamber music. He regularly performs with partners such as Tabea Zimmermann, Heinz Holliger, András Schiff, Kim Kashkashian, and Hélène Grimaud. He has also performed widely as a soloist in orchestral concerts. Fellow composers have dedicated several works to Widmann. He performed the premiere of Music for Clarinet and Orchestra by Wolfgang Rihm in 1999. In 2006, he performed Cantus by Aribert Reimann and, in 2009, at the Lucerne Festival, the world premiere of Rechant by Heinz Holliger. In addition to his fellowship as The Cleveland Orchestra’s Lewis Young Composer, Jörg Widmann has served as composer-in-residence with the Berlin German Symphony Orchestra, Salzburg Festival, Lucerne Festival, Cologne Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Vienna Konzerthaus. He has received many prizes and much recognition for his works, including the 2009 Elise L. Stoeger Prize of the Lincoln Center Chamber Music Society of New York. In 2013, he was awarded the Heidelberg Spring Music Award and the GEMA German Music Authors Award. He is a fellow of the Institute for Advanced Study in Berlin and a full member of the Bavarian Academy of the Fine Arts, the Free Academy of the Arts in Hamburg, and the German Academy of Dramatic Arts.

“Whoever encounters the music of Jörg Widmann for the first time is astonished at its directness and intensity. Not infrequently, the music breaks like a raging torrent over the listener: it is excessive in its effervescent virtuosity or its infinite sadness.”

At a Glance Widmann wrote his Teufel Amor in 2009-11 on a joint commission from the Vienna Konzerthaus, Paris’s Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, Cologne Musik, and the Amsterdam Concertgebouw. The work was premiered on April 13, 2012, at the Vienna Konzerthaus, with Antonio Pappano conducting the Vienna Philharmonic. This work runs about 30 minutes in performance. Widmann scored it for 2 flutes (both doubling piccolo), 2 oboes (both doubling lotus flute), 3 clarinets (second doubling bass clarinet, third doubling contrabass clarinet), 2 bassoons (second doubling contrabassoon), 4 horns, 2 trumpets (both doubling piccolo trumpet), 3 trombones, tuba, timpani (2 players), percussion (2 bass drums, 4 bongos, 4 high Brazilian tambourines [without bells], tom-tom, vibraslap, 2 slapsticks, claves, 5 woodblocks, glockenspiel, tubular bells, cymbals, chinese cymbals, 3 tam-tams, knobbed gongs, water tam-tam, vibraphone), harp, celesta, flexatone, and strings.

Piano Concerto No. 4 in G major, Opus 58 composed 1805-06 LIKE MANY COMPOSERS

Ludwig van

BEETHOVEN born December 16, 1770 Bonn died March 26, 1827 Vienna

Severance Hall 2013-14

before (and after), Beethoven wrote his concertos for piano and orchestra as vehicles for displaying his own dazzle as a performer. In those times — before radio and recordings and copyright, and when public concerts were less frequent than today — new music was all the rage. Composing your own ensured that you had fresh material to perform. Your biggest hits, from last year or last week, were meanwhile quickly appropriated by others through copied scores and with the best tunes arranged for street organ grinders and local wind ensembles. It is little wonder, then, that Mozart kept some scores under lock and key, and left the cadenzas for many of his concertos blank, so that only he could fill them in authentically with his own brand of extemporaneous perfection. Beethoven moved to Vienna at the age of 22 in 1792. He’d hoped to get to Europe’s musical capital sooner and to study with Mozart, but family circumstances had kept him at home in Bonn helping raise his two younger brothers (while tempering the boys’ alcoholic father). It was as a performer that Beethoven forged his reputation in Vienna, and within a year he was widely known as a red-hot piano virtuoso. This set the stage for writing his own concertos. For the first three, written between 1795 and 1802, he followed very much in Mozart’s footsteps with the form. In the 1780s, Mozart had turned the concerto into a fully-realized and independent genre, sometimes churning out three or four each season. But whereas Mozart, over the course of thirty or more works for solo piano or violin, had developed the concerto into sublime products, Beethoven (ultimately creating just five works for piano and one for violin) strived to make the form individual and handmade again. Mozart created the molds and set the standards, and only occasionally over-filled or over-flowed them. Beethoven at first worked within and around those earlier definitions, but the thrust of his musical creativity eventually shattered tradition in order to offer up the first magnificently over-charged concertos of the Romantic 19th century. The Fourth Piano Concerto begins unexpectedly, with piano alone. While today we recognize this as unusual, it is probably impossible for us to understand how totally shocking it was for audiences at the premiere. Even though Mozart’s About the Music

At a Glance Beethoven composed his Fourth Piano Concerto in 1805-06 and served as both soloist and conductor in the work’s first performances, in March 1807 at a semi-private concert in the home of his patron Prince Lobkowitz, followed by the public premiere at the Vienna Akademie on December 22, 1808. The concerto was published in 1808 with a dedication to Beethoven’s pupil, the Archduke Rudolph. This concerto runs about 35 minutes in performance. Beethoven scored each of the movements differently: the first movement calls for flute, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, and strings, plus the solo piano; the second movement utilizes only piano and strings; and the finale augments the firstmovement ensemble with 2 trumpets and timpani. The Cleveland Orchestra first played Beethoven’s Concerto No. 4 in November 1923, with soloist Josef Hofmann and music director Nikolai Sokoloff. The most recent performances were given in February 2013 in Miami, with Franz WelserMöst leading performances featuring pianist Garrick Ohlsson.

concertos had crystallized the form only twenty years earlier, musical audiences of the time knew the conventions and were expecting creativity within those boundaries. A concerto always started with an orchestral introduction. The beginning might be longer or shorter, noisy or quiet, but the concerto was ultimately an orchestral genre, with soloist as an invited guest. Here, with Beethoven’s Fourth Concerto, the soloist is instead placed fully in charge of the form — not just in the audience’s minds as the expected center of attention, but as full equal to the entire orchestra. Thus is the heroic 19th-century concerto born, in which the soloist became protagonist rather than mere dialogue partner, and the “conversation” between soloist and orchestra takes on a sense of combative clashing and argument far beyond the good-natured sparring that earlier concertos had offered as musical entertainment. Not only does the piano begin the concerto, but it starts with unusual gentleness and grace, and “warms up” only gradually. Indeed, the entire concerto seems much more of a personal statement from Beethoven, as soloist and overall composer, than any of his preceding concertos. The opening movement continues at length — at twenty minutes, it is at least a third longer than any that Mozart or Beethoven had previously created — alternating across the sections of sonata form between a deceptive, gentle playfulness and a more robust outlook. Then in the second movement, the orchestra and soloist almost seem to wander off into different concertos. The orchestra offers forceful stabs of sound, to which the piano repeatedly responds with introspective musings, as if thinking about something else entirely. Once the bewildered orchestra backs off, however, Beethoven allows the piano to be more or less alone onstage, as if deep in thought. Some sublimely heartwrenching solo piano passages follow, including a cadenza for right hand alone, before the movement withers to silence. Without pause, we are suddenly in the third-movement finale. Finally, the orchestra and soloist are ready to enjoy playing together, and this joyful movement is a delightful rondo of invention and variations built around an initial short march tune. Beethoven carefully varies the lengths of each statement and its response, building up a wonderfully vibrant sense of fun and excitement. A brief cadenza allows a momentary spotlight on the soloist and then, just as at the beginning of the concerto, Beethoven also breaks convention at the end, with the solo part About the Music

written through to the final chord in the final bar. Traditionally, the orchestra would have closed out the piece without the soloist, or with the soloist merely playing along with the tune at the end. (Beethoven’s Fourth isn’t entirely cutting edge in this respect, however, as Mozart had tried a “dual ending” in his last piano concerto.) In the context of listening to any of Beethoven’s five piano concertos and contemplating his innovations and evolution of the artform, it is occasionally worthwhile noting that there is a sixth piano concerto by Beethoven. This is an arrangement that he made (or helped supervise) of his own Violin Concerto, Opus 61, for a generous Italian publisher. Known as Opus 61a, it is infrequently programmed, few soloists have bothered to learn the part, and, admittedly, some portions of it don’t really work. It is, nonetheless, a strangely interesting work to hear in performance or recording — and one sure way for many modern listeners who feel too well-acquainted with Beethoven’s concertos to be startled again, as his audiences were, on hearing something unexpectedly familiar but different. —ERIC SELLEN © 2014 Eric Sellen serves as program book editor for The Cleveland Orchestra.

Yefim Bronfman Russian-American pianist Yefim Bronfman is regarded as one of the most talented piano virtuosos performing today. His commanding technique and exceptional lyrical gifts have won him consistent acclaim and enthusiastic audiences worldwide. Mr. Bronfman made his Cleveland Orchestra debut in April 1986. He most recently appeared with the Orchestra in 2011, performing both Brahms Piano Concertos and performing in both Cleveland and Miami. Yefim Bronfman was born in 1958 in Tashkent, in the Soviet Union. After moving to Israel with his family in 1973, he worked with Arie Vardi at Tel Aviv University. Following his family’s relocation to the United States in 1976, he studied at the Curtis Institute, Juilliard School, and Marlboro, with Rudolf Firkusny, Leon Fleisher, and Rudolf Serkin. Mr. Bronfman made his international debut in 1975 with the Montreal Symphony, and his New York Philharmonic debut in 1978. In 1991, he returned to Russia for the first time since emigrating, to perform a series of joint recitals with Isaac Stern. That same year, Mr. Bronfman was awarded the Avery Fisher Prize. For the 2013-14 season, Yefim Bronfman is serving as artist-in-residence with the New York Philharmonic, including a complete Beethoven concerto cycle to close the season in June. As a guest artist, he appears regularly with the world’s most esteemed ensembles, from North America’s major orchestras to those of Amsterdam, Berlin, Dresden, Israel, London, Paris, Vienna, and Zurich, among others. He is a frequent guest at international summer festivals, and has served as artist-in-residence with Carnegie Hall and the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and as artiste étoile in Switzerland. A devoted chamber musician, Mr. Bronfman has collaborated with the Cleveland, Emerson, Guarneri, and Juilliard quartets, as well as the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. He has also performed with Emanuel Ax, Joshua Bell, Lynn Harrell, Magdalena Kožená, Yo-Yo Ma, Shlomo Mintz, Jean-Pierre Rampal, Pinchas Zukerman, and many other artists, and presents solo recitals throughout Asia, Europe, and North America. In 2011, he performed a recital of Brahms chamber music at Severance Hall with principal members of The Cleveland Orchestra. Mr. Bronfman’s recordings are highly praised — his album of Bartók’s three piano concertos won a 1997 Grammy Award, and his album featuring Esa-Pekka Salonen’s piano concerto received a Grammy nomination. His discography also includes the complete Prokofiev piano sonatas and concertos, Beethoven’s five piano concertos and triple concerto, Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1, and sonatas by Bartók, Brahms, and Mozart recorded with Isaac Stern.

Student attendance continues to grow at Severance Hall As The Cleveland Orchestra’s 2013-14 season has gotten underway, more Student Advantage Members, Frequent Fan Card holders, Student Ambassadors, and student groups are contributing to the continued success of these programs. The Orchestra’s ongoing Student Advantage Program provides opportunities for students to attend concerts at Severance Hall and Blossom through discounted ticket offers. Membership is free to join and rewards members with discounted ticket purchases. For this season, a record 6,000 students have joined. The Student Frequent Fan Card was introduced a year ago with great success. The program is continuing to grow, with the number of Frequent Fan Card holders tripling so far this season over 2012-13. Priced at $50, the Fan Card offers students unlimited single tickets (one ticket per card holder) to weekly classical subscription concerts all season long. The Student Ambassador program is also growing. These young volunteers help to promote the Orchestra’s concert offerings and student programs directly on campuses across Northeast Ohio. Also this year, a group of Student Marketing Advisors was formed to help the Orchestra incorporate student feedback and insight to programs, and give local marketing majors a chance to work closely with the Orchestra’s sales team. In addition, attendance through Student Group sales are also bringing in more and more young people to Cleveland Orchestra concerts. From as far as Toronto and Nashville, these groups make up an integral part of the overall success toward generating participation and interest among young people. All of these programs are supported by The Cleveland Orchestra’s Center for Future Audiences, through the Alexander and Sarah Cutler Fund for Student Audiences. The Center for Future Audiences was created with a $20 million lead endowment gift from the Maltz Family Foundation to develop new generations of audiences for Cleveland Orchestra concerts in Northeast Ohio.

The lotus blossom is the symbol of the Heritage Society. It represents eternal life and recognizes the permanent benefits of legacy gifts to The Cleveland Orchestra’s endowment. Said to be Elisabeth Severance’s favorite flower, the lotus is found as a decorative motif in nearly every public area of Severance Hall.

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

lished to fund programs to develop new generations of audiences for Cleveland Orchestra concerts in Northeast Ohio. The Center was created in 2010 with a $20 million lead endowment gift from the Maltz Family Foundation. Centerfunded programs focus on addressing economic and geographic barriers to attending Cleveland Orchestra concerts at Severance Hall and Blossom Music Center. Programs include research, introductory offers, targeted discounts, student ticket programs, and integrated use of new technologies. The goal is to create one of the youngest audiences of any symphony orchestra in the country. For additional information about these plans and programs, call us at 216-231-7464.

T ENN! EV O A S R EA PE S O E E TH TH OF

Don’t miss this unique, made-for-Cleveland opera presentation! Staged at Severance Hall with an international cast and innovative, original animated projections. While plumbing the depths of human experience, The Cunning Little Vixen tells a charmingly bittersweet tale of love, peril, freedom, f and family. The opera’s title character, portrayed by Czech soprano Martina M Janková, wends her way through life’s cycles of learning and danger, dange love and happiness. Janáček’s score mixes lyrical symphonic writing with wit the songful serenity and energetic pulse of Moravian folk music. This Cleveland Orchestra opera presentation is supported in part by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and by the National Endowment for the Arts

The Cleveland Orchestra’s catalog of recordings continues to grow. The newest DVD features Bruckner’s Fourth Symphony recorded live in the Abbey of St. Florian in Austria under the direction of Music Director Franz Welser-Möst in 2012 and released in May 2013. W “A great orchestra, a Bruckner expert. . . . Five out of five stars,” declared Austria’s Kurier o newspaper. Released in 2012, Dvořák’s opera Rusalka on CD, recorded live at the Salzburg Festival, elicited the reviewer for London’s Sunday Times to praise the performance as “the most spellbinding account of Dvořák’s miraculous score I have ever heard, either in the themiraculou atre or on record. . . . I doubt this music can be better played than by the Clevelanders, the most ‘European’ of the American orchestras, with wind and brass soloists to die for and a string sound of superlative warmth and sensitivity.” Other recordings released in recent years include two under the baton of Pierre Boulez and a third album of Mozart piano concertos with Mitsuko Uchida, whose first Cleveland Orchestra Mozart album won a Grammy Award in 2011. Visit the Cleveland Orchestra Store for the latest and best Cleveland Orchestra recordings and DVDs.

the world’s most beautiful concert halls, Severance Hall has been home to The Cleveland Orchestra since its opening on February 5, 1931. After that first concert, a Cleveland newspaper editorial stated: “We believe that Mr. Severance intended to build a temple to music, and not a temple to wealth; and we believe it is his intention that all music lovers should be welcome there.” John Long Severance (president of the Musical Arts Association, 1921-1936) and his wife, Elisabeth, donated most of the funds necessary to erect this magnificent building. Designed by Walker & Weeks, its elegant

HAILED AS ONE OF

Georgian exterior was constructed to harmonize with the classical architecture of other prominent buildings in the University Circle area. The interior of the building reflects a combination of design styles, including Art Deco, Egyptian Revival, Classicism, and Modernism. An extensive renovation, restoration, and expansion of the facility was completed in January 2000. In addition to serving as the home of The Cleveland Orchestra for concerts and rehearsals, the building is rented by a wide variety of local organizations and private citizens for performances, meetings, and gala events each year.

THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA Mitsuko Uchida, piano and conductor William Preucil, concertmaster

Celebrated as one of today’s foremost violinists, Nikolaj Znaider is also fast becoming one of the most versatile artists of his generation, uniting his talents as soloist, conductor and chamber musician. At Severance Hall, he performs and conducts a delightful and varied program, from a vibrant violin concerto by Mozart to Mendelssohn’s warm and sunny “Italian” Symphony. And, to close, Elgar’s masterful Enigma Variations, depicting in music the composer’s friends and family — their characteristics and foibles, their personalities and passions.

Mitsuko Uchida’s interpretations of Mozart are renowned for their intelligence, elegance, and sensitivity. She continues her acclaimed collaboration with The Cleveland Orchestra, which was recognized with a 2010 Grammy Award, with performances of two more of Mozart’s piano concertos (Nos. 18 and 19). “Mitsuko Uchida’s Mozart playing is stunningly sensitive, crystalline, and true.” —Boston Globe Sponsor: Quality Electrodynamics (QED)New!
