Franz Schubert

Born 1797, Vienna, Austria Died 1828, Vienna, Austria

Rondo in A Major for Violin and Strings, D. 438 (1816) When discussing Franz Schubert and his music, one is always left with a sense of what might have been. Schubert lived for a mere thirty-one years, was an incredibly prolific composer in that short time (touting over 1,000 published works), and always on the outside looking in. He found little to no success in his lifetime, save a circle of close friends who we able to recognize his undiscovered genius. Most of his works were unpublished prior to his death, and he died as he lived, in poverty.

In his more than 1,000 works, Schubert never wrote a full-scale concerto for any instrument. The Rondo in A Major, along with a few other small works, are the only pieces written for solo instrument with orchestral accompaniment. The work was written while Schubert was a most unhappy teacher at his father’s school, one of the many unfulfilling and unsuccessful ventures the impoverished Schubert would be forced to undertake while waiting for Viennese society to take note of his music.

They never did, of course. Schubert wrote the work for his brother, Ferdinand, who was an amateur violinist; although, it is a surprisingly virtuosic piece to be played by the untrained, so it would appear the word “amateur” held a less pejorative connotation in the early 19th century.

The Rondo in A Major was never published in Schubert’s lifetime, remaining unpublished until 1897, more than 80 years after its composition. The work was originally written for just five parts–solo violin with a string quartet accompaniment. It is unknown if

“It was the great revelation of my musical life.”

—Astor Piazzolla

Schubert intended for it to be played by only five musicians, or if he was merely trying to appeal to the publishing houses (who for the most part rebuffed him) by providing a work with flexible instrumentation. Regardless, symphony and chamber orchestras have since appropriated the work as their own. ●

Astor Piazzolla

arr. L. Desyatnikov

Born 1921, Mar del Plata, Argentina Died 1992, Buenos Aires, Argentina

The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires (Cuatro Estaciones Porteñas) (1965–1970; arr. 1999) “When I finished, Nadia took my hands in hers and with that English of hers, so sweet, she said, ‘Astor, this is beautiful. I like it a lot. Here is the true Piazzolla–do not ever leave him.’ It was the great revelation of my musical life.” These words from Astor Piazzolla’s memoir describe poignantly how Piazzolla had tried to distance himself from the tango, the music in his blood and the music of his homeland, in an effort to become a serious classical composer of art music. He felt the two were mutually exclusive. The “Nadia” mentioned here is none other than Nadia Boulanger, the famed French pedagogue, who Piazzolla had traveled to Paris to study with in the mid1950s. She encouraged him to incorporate his beloved tango into his scores, not shun it. And with that, neuvo tango was born.

This “new tango” combines elements of tango, jazz, and classical music into a form previously unheard of in the classical canon.

“… I wrote from inner compulsion. This is a piece from the heart … ” —Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky

The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires was not composed as a set of four works initially.

The first, “Verano Porteño,” was written in 1965 as incidental music for the play Melenita de oro by the Argentine author and theater director Alberto Rodríguez Muñoz.

The other movements were composed in 1970, and the four movements were rarely performed as a single work. Piazzolla scored it for his quintet comprised of violin, electric guitar, piano, bass, and bandóneon (an instrument similar to an accordion).

After Piazzolla’s death, the violinist Gidon Kremer commissioned Russian composer Leonid Desyatnikov to arrange the work for solo violin and string orchestra. Kremer was looking for a companion piece to Vivaldi’s Four Seasons that he could program on the same concert. Desyatnikov took Piazzolla’s work, inserted quotes from Vivaldi’s, and created the version performed this afternoon. One of the wittiest borrowings from Vivaldi’s work is when Desyatnikov quotes Vivaldi’s “Winter” and inserts it into Piazzolla’s “Summer” to reflect the inversion of seasons between the hemispheres. ●

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky

Born 1840, Votkinsk, Russia Died 1893, St. Petersburg, Russia

Serenade for Strings in C Major, Op. 48 (1880) If you were to ask someone who was familiar with the works of Tchaikovsky to name two works that were the polar opposites of each other, you might get them to list the 1812 Overture and the Serenade for Strings. Yet Tchaikovsky wrote these works simultaneously in 1880. He would say of the two pieces: “The overture will be very loud and noisy, but I wrote it without any warm feelings of love and so, it will probably be of no artistic merit. But the serenade, on the contrary, I wrote from inner compulsion. This is a piece from the heart, and so, I venture to hope that this work is not without artistic qualities.”

Initially, the Serenade was to be a symphony, later a suite, and ultimately continued on 6

Program Notes . continued from 5 a serenade. What exactly constitutes a “serenade?” As with many musical terms, it depends upon when the serenade in question was written. The serenade developed from a ditty to be sung to a lover (usually outside their window) in medieval times, to an outdoor celebratory work during the Baroque era, to a multi-movement work for orchestra whose emphasis was on melodic lyricism in the Classical and Romantic period. The serenade doesn’t hold composers to the same strict constructs of form and theory as a symphony, offering a nice respite from the formal confines of the symphonic genre.

It was a popular form by composers such as Mozart, Brahms, and Dvořák.

Tchaikovsky’s Serenade for Strings premiered privately at the Moscow Conservatory a month after its composition,

“The first movement is my homage to Mozart.”

—Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky

and the public premiere was the following year in St. Petersburg on October 30, 1881, with Eduard Nápravník conducting. Anton Rubinstein, Tchaikovsky’s mentor and famed Russian pianist and conductor, declared the Serenade for Strings Tchaikovsky’s best work.

“The first movement is my homage to Mozart. It is intended to be an imitation of his style, and I should be delighted if I thought I had in any way approached my model.” This homage to Mozart opens and closes with a stately theme which hearkens

back to the 18th century outdoor serenade.

The Sonatina itself begins at the fleet-footed allegro. The second movement Waltz is reminiscent of the great Tchaikovsky balletic waltzes of Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, and The Nutcracker. The heart and soul of the Serenade lies in the third movement Élégie which opens with the same ascending scale figure as the Waltz. The Finale contains two Russian folksongs–the first, lyrical and mysterious, which then gives way to the toetapping folksong of the Allegro. ● Program Notes ® Lori Newman

Program Notes Lori Newman

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Born 1756, Salzburg, Austria Died 1791, Vienna, Austria

Symphony No. 1 in E-flat Major, K. 16 (1764) It’s not often that one can attribute a symphonic work’s genesis to a severe throat infection, but in the case of Mozart’s Symphony No. 1, that is indeed the case.

Mozart was on the first leg of the grand European tour that his father, Leopold, had arranged for him and his sister, Anna Maria (“Nannerl”), between 1763 and 1766. These tours (think of them as an early form of Toddlers and Tiaras, but with slightly more willing participants) were a way to bring the two prodigies to the fore of polite society and the aristocracy, not to mention a way to make a significant amount of money for the family.

While in London in 1764, Leopold became seriously ill with a high fever and acute throat infection. The family moved to nearby Chelsea to provide Leopold with a comfortable, quiet place to recover. During this time, the children were unable to practice their instruments as not to disturb Leopold’s recovery process. Nannerl reminisced, “Our father lay dangerously ill; we were forbidden to touch the keyboard. And so, in order to occupy himself, Mozart composed his first symphony with all the instruments of the orchestra, especially trumpets and kettledrums. While he composed and I copied he said, ‘Remind me to give the horn something worthwhile to do!’” It is more than likely that the work that Nannerl describes is in fact not the Symphony No. 1 in E-flat Major, but another work whose manuscript did not survive. The original score for the Symphony No. 1 is in Mozart’s hand, not Nannerl’s, so there were more than likely other symphonies written around this time whose sketches were lost to history. Not to mention, the Symphony No. 1 is scored for only oboes, horns, strings, and continuo–no “trumpets” or “kettledrums” are present.

The Symphony is written in the early classical archetype of three movements in a fast-slow-fast configuration. Mozart’s early symphonies were influenced by the works of composers such as Johann Christian Bach (youngest son of the master Johann Sebastian Bach) and Carl Friedrich Abel. The work is compact and full of triadic themes.

Mozart had yet to perfect the concept of

“Remind me to give the horn something worthwhile to do!’

—Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

thematic development, so once stated, the themes often repeat the material verbatim.

The outer movements are bright and energetic, while the second movement is written in the relative key of c minor, offering a suitably dour contrast. ●

W.A. Mozart

Oboe Concerto in C Major, K. 314 (1777) Written toward the end of Mozart’s dreary time serving the Salzburg court, the Oboe Concerto in C Major was composed for Giuseppe Ferlendis, an oboist who joined the court orchestra in April of 1777. It is believed that Mozart never heard Ferlendis perform the work, as Mozart resigned his position in Salzburg soon after the Concerto’s completion. After his resignation, Mozart went to several other European countries looking for work. While in Mannheim, he passed his Oboe Concerto onto Friedrich Ramm, principal oboist of the Mannheim Symphony. Ramm took the work and ran with it. Mozart wrote in February 1778, “Herr Ramm played for the fifth time my oboe concerto written for Ferlendis, which is making a great sensation here. It is now Ramm’s cheval de bataille [war horse].”

Soon thereafter, however, the Oboe Concerto was lost. Laying in its wake was an arrangement for flute that Mozart tried to pass off as an original work when amateur flutist Ferdinand de Jean commissioned him to write four flute quartets and three flute concertos in December of 1777. According to many sources, Mozart detested the flute, in addition to being prone to fits of laziness and flightiness, so this commission was particularly difficult for him to complete.

So, he just didn’t. Mozart provided de Jean with a scant three quartets and one concerto—a reworking of the Oboe Concerto.

“Reworking” is a generous term, as the differences between the two concertos are negligible. As expected, Mozart never got paid for the commission.

The work survived in its flute iteration, but the Oboe Concerto was lost for more

than 100 years. That is until 1920 when the director of the Salzburg Mozarteum Archives, Bernhard Paumgartner, found an orchestra part in Mozart’s hand that listed as its title “Concerto in C—Oboe Principale.” Upon further investigation, Paumgartner realized that the work was nearly identical to the Flute Concerto, and the Oboe Concerto was unearthed to grateful oboists everywhere. ●

W.A. Mozart

Symphony No. 36 in C Major, “Linz,” K. 425 (1783) “On Tuesday, November 4, [1783] there will be an academy [concert] in the theater here and, as I have not a single symphony with me, I am writing a new one at breakneck speed.” Mozart wrote this in a letter to his father upon arriving in Linz. Linz was a stop on the way home to Vienna from Salzburg, where Mozart and his relatively new wife, Constanze, had been visiting Leopold Mozart for the first time. Leopold did not approve of the marriage and Mozart’s sister, Nannerl, deemed Constanze “a most unsuitable girl.” This would seemingly be why the Mozarts were married in August of 1782 but did not embark upon the Salzburg sojourn until nearly a year later. They stayed in Salzburg throughout the rest of the summer into early autumn, and from all accounts, the stay was polite, but not necessarily welcoming.

Mozart and Constanze left Salzburg on October 27 and traveled to Linz upon the invitation of their friend Count ThunHohenstein. “Breakneck speed” from the opening quote is indeed apt: The Symphony No. 36 was composed, copied, and rehearsed all within a four-day span of the Linz “layover.” The work premiered on November 4, 1783, with other notable performances in Vienna in 1784 and Prague in 1787.

While the Symphony No. 1 owes its style to J.C. Bach, the “Linz” Symphony has the marks of Joseph Haydn all over it. From the choice of key to the slow introduction in the continued on 10

Program Notes . continued from 9 first movement, Mozart uses “Papa” Haydn as his model and the resultant work is Mozart at his most grand. The slow introduction of the first movement is filled with harmonic tension, with several keys and modes fighting for dominance. This leads directly into the majestic and resplendent first movement, containing passages filled with technical bravura and mature interaction between winds and strings. In the second movement, Mozart takes what could have been an ordinary symphonic Andante, adds trumpets and timpani, and gives the whole movement an unexpected sinister undercurrent.

The minuet is full of eighteenth-century affectedness, while the trio offers a charming oboe and bassoon duo. The finale is rife with thematic material, offering a portent to the finale of the “Jupiter” Symphony which would come five years later. ● Program Notes ® Lori Newman

Grant Cooper conductor

Grant Cooper, Artistic Director and Conductor of the West Virginia Symphony Orchestra, was named to the position in March 2001 and officially began his duties as the ninth conductor in the WVSO’s history on July 1, 2001. From 1997–2007, Mr. Cooper served as Resident Conductor of the Syracuse Symphony, where he gave over 600 performances with that orchestra, appearing to critical acclaim on all the major series. Mr. Cooper is also Artistic Director of the Bach and Beyond Festival in Fredonia, New York.

Mr. Cooper was born in Wellington, New Zealand, the son of a professional opera singer. He sang and acted in his first opera at age four and studied piano and music theory prior to college. After completing his degree in Pure Mathematics at the University of Auckland, his performing career took him to many of the major concert halls of the world, from Beijing to London. Following a performance at the Henry A. Wood Promenade Concerts at the Royal Albert Hall under conductor Claudio Abbado, Mr. Cooper was invited by Maestro Abbado to join the orchestra of La Scala as solo trumpet.

Instead, Mr. Cooper accepted a fellowship from the Queen Elizabeth II Arts Council for study with Bernard Adelstein and Gerard Schwarz in the United States. This, in turn, led to performances at New York’s Carnegie Hall and at Tanglewood under Arthur Fiedler, where he also performed as principal trumpet under conductors Leonard Bernstein, Seiji Ozawa, and Sir Neville Marriner.

Mr. Cooper was guest conductor of the XIVth Commonwealth Games closing ceremonies, appearing with Dame Kiri Te Kanawa as soloist. In Europe, his engagement as guest conductor for the Mozart Wochen of the Heidelberger Schlossfestspiele prompted

high critical praise. His appearances with the West Virginia Symphony Orchestra have generated considerable enthusiasm and acclaim across the whole gamut of programs, showing his deep affinity for repertoire of enormous stylistic range. Mr. Cooper’s collaborations with artists such as Hilary Hahn, Midori, Elmar Oliviera, and Deborah Voigt have, similarly, prompted critical praise for his skills as an accompanist.

In their March 2009 Pops Concerts, the WVSO premiered Mr. Cooper’s original scores for two Charlie Chaplin films: The Immigrant and Easy Street. Mr. Cooper’s original concert work for soprano and orchestra entitled A Song of Longing, Though..., with poetry by Tom Beal, was premiered by the orchestra in April 2007 and was performed by the Chautauqua Symphony in 2010. Cooper was awarded the National Symphony Orchestra Chamber Music Commission following competitive adjudication as part of the 2010 American Residency program of the NSO. His new work will be premiered at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., in 2012.

Mr. Cooper is especially passionate about creating works designed to introduce young audiences to the orchestra, including such works as Rumpelstiltzkin for Narrator and Orchestra, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Boyz in the Wood for Coloratura Soprano and Rap Singer, and Song of the Wolf. His educational music is an eclectic blend of modern and established styles with interactive participation of the audience, a compositional style that reflects his belief that orchestral music is a living, vital, and relevant part of our society, able to be appreciated by all.

Mr. Cooper has recorded for Delos International, Atoll, Ode, Mark, and Kiwi Pacific recordings. As a conductor, a CD devoted to the premier recordings of the string music of New Zealand composer Douglas Lilburn has been enthusiastically received. Recently, Mr. Cooper released Points in a Changing Circle, featuring himself as trumpet soloist in works by New Zealand composers and a CD featuring three of his own works recorded with the Cayuga Chamber Orchestra on a disc titled Boyz in the Wood. With this, Mr. Cooper has reached the milestone of having CD recordings of him as conductor, performer, and composer, all currently available in the catalogue.

Mr. Cooper resides in Charleston with his wife, Margie, and daughters, Jessica and Rachel. ●
