Program Notes Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta Béla Bartòk (1881–1945) Bartók, one of the 20th century’s most distinctive composers, devoted much energy to collecting and studying the peasant music of his native Hungary and to separating it from the gypsy music with which it was so long confused. In his compositions, Bartók made extensive use of the folk music he assembled, much of it gathered in collaboration with his fellow Hungarian composer, Zoltán Kodály. Bartók used folk melodies in such a way that it is sometimes difficult to ascertain where the folk music ends and the music of Bartók begins.

Bartòk’s Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta is a work that, despite its unorthodoxies, is a masterpiece in the great symphonic tradition. It is a melancholy, even bitter piece, conceived as the composer shrank from the horror of Nazi aggression. Completed in Budapest on September 7, 1936, it was commissioned by the Swiss conductor Paul Sacher for the 10th anniversary of his Basel Chamber Orchestra; on January 21, 1937, it was premiered.

The music often sounds as though a large number of instruments are playing, because Bartòk invented ways to enrich the texture and expand the sound scale of the small orchestra for which he was writing. He divided the strings into two separate little string orchestras, flanking each side of the stage. Bartòk does not restrict the percussion instruments to their historic roles of underlining rhythm and adding color, but writes for them melodically. The percussion instruments are timpani, bass drum, cymbals, small drum (with and without snares), tam tam and xylophone, to which Bartòk added harp and piano (sometimes played by two pianists), because he thought of them as “strings and percussion.”

Four contrasting movements alternate, slow and fast. They are cast in idiosyncratic forms, variants of familiar classical structures: fugue, sonata, scherzo, and rondo. In the first movement, Andante tranquillo, the two string orchestras, in unison, both play sad, slow music in fugal style, beginning quietly in the muted violas, mounting to a single climax and then subsiding, ending as softly as it began. The uneven beats of the measures may pass almost unnoticed at the slow tempo, but they add greatly to the sense of uneasy sadness and complicate the writing of the intricate counter¬point. In a way, the fugue subject is the entire work’s main theme, since it reappears, plainly or in disguise, in all of the movements.

(Continued on next page.) 17

The second movement, Allegro, takes the form of a classical sonata and the spirit of a scherzo. The strings divide clearly into two orchestras; each presents principal material. The third movement, Adagio, a mysterious, moving nocturne, opens and closes with a simple but gripping, tensionbuilding xylophone solo. The final Allegro molto is exhilarating and exuberant, based principally on two dancing, folk-like themes. Before it ends, the first movement fugue theme is recalled yet again.

Symphony No. 1, in G minor, Op. 13 (“Winter Reverie”) Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840–1893) Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 1 is a work with some historical significance. At the time Tchaikovsky was beginning this work, Russian musical culture was trying to define itself as something distinctive; until then, a truly Russian symphony had not been written. Tchaikovsky’s symphony counts as the first major symphony written by a Russian composer. His creation of a symphony was far from an easy task for the young composer. He aimed to create a work that adhered to Classical principles while at the same time had a distinctive Russian character.

In 1866, only twenty-six years old and having just completed studies at the St. Petersburg Conservatory, Tchaikovsky prepared to move to Moscow where he was to teach harmony at the new conservatory.

He had begun work on his Symphony No. 1 that spring, but after the summer months, he was not satisfied with his progress with it. His frustration and anxiety over the symphony, his brother wrote, “was the cause of nervous disorders and many sleepless nights. These difficulties were caused partly by his lack of experience in composition, and partly by his habit of working night and day. At the end of June, he had a terrible nervous breakdown; the doctor who was called in to see him declared that he had narrowly escaped madness and that his condition was very serious. The most alarming symptoms of the illness were his hallucinations and constant feeling of dread.”

By the end of the summer, Tchaikovsky’s health had returned, and when he arrived in Moscow in November, he had completed the symphony. He sent the score to his former teachers in St. Petersburg with a request for their opinion of its value and with hopes that they would schedule a performance. Instead, they returned the manuscript as “unworthy.” Tchaikovsky’s superiors in Moscow thought more of the score, but by the time it had been returned to the composer from St. Petersburg, Tchaikovsky felt he had seen many of its flaws and had already revised it extensively.

18

As was the practice then of sometimes performing isolated movements of a work, the Scherzo from the symphony was performed in December 1866, and the slow movement and Scherzo were featured in St. Petersburg the following February, but neither performance was a great success. On February 15, 1868, the entire work was performed at a concert of the Moscow Musical Society. A member of the audience of that concert reported that after the applause, Tchaikovsky “came on stage in rather untidy clothes, hat in hand, and bowed awkwardly.” He was by then pleased with his work, which he dedicated to his friend and benefactor Nikolai Rubinstein, but he continued to revise it until 1874, when he finally felt it was ready for publication. Seventeen years later, Tchaikovsky wrote affectionately about it to his generous patroness, Nadezhda von Meck, “Despite its obvious deficiencies, I have a soft spot for it, since it is a sweet sin of my youth. Although it is very immature in many ways, yet it is basically better and has more substance and is richer than many more mature works.”

Indeed, in this symphony he had managed to find his own melodic and structural confidence, as well as his own distinctive orchestration, and he had bonded those with the creation of music that was definitively Russian.

In the Guardian, Tom Service recently declared that this work “ is one of the most important markers in the symphonic story in the 19th century, the piece in which a new type of symphony – absolutely Tchaikovsky’s own and Russia’s too – is not just glimpsed, but claimed.”

Tchaikovsky gave the symphony the name “Winter Reverie” and named the first two movements as well: Träume einer Winterreise, (“Dreams of a Winter Journey,”) Allegro tranquillo, and Land der Öde, (“Land of Desolation, Land of Mists”) Adagio cantabile ma non tanto. These movements with their dreamy moods are set in the bleak landscape of the Russian winter. The first movement, Tchaikovsky explained, was inspired by one of Madame van Meck’s paintings, which could be an “illustration of the first movement.” The movement has an atmospheric opening, but its title should not be interpreted in a literal programmatic way. The first theme, heard in the flute and bassoon, with melancholic beauty, is the focus for much of the movement; the clarinet takes on the second theme. The recapitulation, coming after the central section with its stormy drama, necessitates a pause for the whole orchestra. The coda takes the movement back to the quiet reverie with which it began. In this movement, the composer’s distinctive orchestration is already evident in his use of the woodwinds and in his brilliant string writing.

(Continued on next page.) 19

The second movement is based on an exquisite theme, announced by the oboe over muted strings. The movement sounds overall melancholic and wistful rather than bleak with its endless melodic invention that brilliantly makes this a new kind of slow movement, something distinctively Tchaikovsky’s own, written with confidence. The movement builds to a very expressive climax for the full orchestra.

The swift, delicate, untitled Scherzo, Allegro scherzando giocoso, provides a brilliant contrast. It was originally written a year earlier for a piano sonata that was never published until after the composer’s death.

It moves forward in a positive, rustic and spirited manner. The orchestral waltz in the trio section gives a hint of the ballet music that Tchaikovsky would write in the future.

The Finale opens with a slow introduction, Andante lugubre, based on a Russian folk song that reappears as the second subject of the movement’s main section, Allegro maestoso. This movement contains the darkest and most ominous music in the symphony, but it also gives voice to joyous sounds; structurally it embraces both counterpoint and a march. When the dark music of the Andante lugubre returns near the end, it modifies its despondency in order to allow the quick coda to conclude the symphony in grandeur and majesty.

The symphony is scored for piccolo and two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones and tuba, timpani, bass drum, cymbals and strings.

Franz Welser-Möst Franz Welser-Möst is one of today’s most distinguished conductors. He has served as music director of The Cleveland Orchestra since 2002, with his tenure now extended to 2022. He holds the Orchestra’s Kelvin Smith Family Endowed Chair.

The Cleveland Orchestra has reached new heights under Mr. WelserMöst’s direction. The New York Times recently declared The Cleveland Orchestra the “best American orchestra“ for its virtuosity, elegance of sound, variety of color, and chamber-like musical cohesion. The Cleveland Orchestra has been repeatedly praised for its innovative programming, support for new musical works, and for its success in semi-staged and staged opera productions — including 2014’s 20

critically-acclaimed performances of Janácek’s The Cunning Little Vixen ˘ combining computer-animated stage design with live action. In addition to recurring residencies in the USA and Europe, Franz Welser-Möst and The Cleveland Orchestra are frequent guests at many prestigious concert halls and festivals, including the Salzburg Festival and the Lucerne Festival. The Cleveland Orchestra has been hugely successful in building up a new and, notably, a young audience through groundbreaking programs involving students and by working closely with universities.

Franz Welser-Möst served as music director of the London Philharmonic Orchestra, 1990-96, and of the Zurich Opera, 1995-2008. From 2010 to 2014, he held the position of general music director of the Vienna State Opera, one of the world’s most important repertoire houses. In addition to cultivating the traditional German, Italian, and Slavonic repertoire, including a significant spotlight on the works of Janáček, Mr. Welser-Möst placed a strong focus on 20th-century works, including the operas of Richard Strauss. He has an annual presence on the operatic stage at the Salzburg Festival, and after triumphant successes with Rusalka, Der Rosenkavalier, and his seventy-second opera premiere, of Fidelio this past summer. He leads a new production of Strauss’s Die Liebe der Danae at Salzburg in 2016.

As a guest conductor, Franz Welser-Möst has developed a particularly close and productive relationship with the Vienna Philharmonic. He has twice appeared on the podium at the Philharmonic’s New Year’s Concert and conducts the orchestra regularly in subscription concerts at the Musikverein, as well as in Lucerne, at the BBC Proms, and on tour in the United States, Scandinavia, and Japan. His close association with the Vienna Philharmonic was honored in spring 2014 when he was presented with the orchestra’s Ring of Honor. Franz Welser-Möst has received many other honors and awards, while his numerous CDs and DVDs have been awarded many international prizes — the Salzburg Festival production of Der Rosenkavalier was recently awarded the Echo Klassik 2015 for “best opera recording.“ In December 2015, Franz Welser-Möst conducted the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra for the year’s Nobel Prize concert in Stockholm and led the annual televised Christmas concert of the Filarmonica della Scala, Milan. Recent and upcoming engagements in 2016 include concerts with Amsterdam’s Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Staatskapelle Dresden, Tonhalle-Orchester Zurich, and the Bavarian Radio Symphony.

The Cleveland Orchestra Under the leadership of Music Director Franz Welser-Möst, The Cleveland Orchestra has become one of the most sought after performing ensembles in the world, setting standards of extraordinary artistic excellence, creative programming, and community engagement. The New York Times has declared it “... the best in America.” Strong and ongoing financial support of the ensemble’s home region is driving the Orchestra forward with renewed energy and focus, increasing the number of young people attending concerts, and bringing fresh attention to the Orchestra’s legendary sound and committed programming. Plans are now underway to celebrate the ensemble’s 100th anniversary in 2018 as a prelude to a second century of extraordinary music making.

The partnership with Franz Welser-Möst, begun in 2002 and currently in its 14th year with the 2015-16 season, has earned The Cleveland Orchestra unprecedented residencies in the U.S. and around the world, including one at the Musikverein in Vienna, the first of its kind by an American orchestra. The Orchestra’s annual residency in Miami, Florida, presented under the name Cleveland Orchestra Miami, is entering its tenth year in 2015-16, and involves four weeks of full programming in South Florida, including concerts, community presentations, education programs, and collaborative partnerships.

The Cleveland Orchestra has a long and distinguished recording and broadcast history. A series of DVD and CD recordings under the direction of Mr. Welser-Möst continues to add to an extensive and widely praised catalog of audio recordings made during the tenures of the ensemble’s earlier music directors. In addition, Cleveland Orchestra concerts are heard in syndication each season on radio stations throughout North America and Europe.

Seven music directors — Nikolai Sokoloff, Artur Rodzinski, Erich Leinsdorf, George Szell, Lorin Maazel, Christoph von Dohnányi, and Franz Welser-Möst — have guided and shaped the ensemble’s growth and sound since its founding in 1918. Through tours, residencies, radio broadcasts, and recordings, The Cleveland Orchestra is heard today by a broad and loyal constituency around the world.

AN EVENING WITH PAUL ANKA

Friday, May 20 at 8pm | The Palladium Performance Sponsor: Huntington Bank

Paul Anka has remained a vital recording artist for an astonishing seven consecutive decades across a range of styles. The Canadian-born singer and songwriter has been minting musical hits since 1957’s “Diana,” and his catalog includes some of the most memorable songs in modern entertainment. Among his notable works, he penned one of Tom Jones’ marquee songs, “She’s a Lady,” as well as the English lyrics to Frank Sinatra’s signature belter, “My Way.” He’s recorded with musical greats like Barry Gibb and Kenny G., R.E.M., Oasis, Van Halen and Nirvana. He’s even covered “Mr. Brightside” by Las Vegas hometown heroes, the Killers. Very few performing artists have made as great an impact on popular culture as Paul Anka.

BRUCE HORNSBY & THE NOISEMAKERS Tuesday, May 24 at 7:30pm | The Palladium Performance Sponsor: Marquis Commercial Solutions Bruce Hornsby’s work displays a creative iconoclasm that’s been a constant in the artist’s two-and-a-half decade recording career. His commercial stock soared early on, when “The Way It Is”(1986)– became one of the most popular songs on American radio. Despite his early mainstream successes, Hornsby has pursued a more personal, idiosyncratic musical path, focusing on projects that sparked his creative interest, including collaborations with the Grateful Dead, Spike Lee, Ricky Skaggs, Don Henley, Ornette Coleman, Bob Dylan, Bela Fleck, Bonnie Raitt, Pat Metheny, and Robbie Robertson.

The Noisemakers are bassist J.V. Collier, a twenty-year veteran of the band, as well as keyboardist/organist John “JT” Thomas and drummer Sonny Emory, who have played with Hornsby twenty-four and twelve years respectively. Summer 2014 marks the arrival of two new Noisemakers -- fiddle/mandolin player Ross Holmes and guitarist Gibb Droll -- as well as the departures of longtime members Bobby Read and Doug Derryberry.

Holmes currently fiddles for Mumford and Sons, has played with hosts of Nashville titans as diverse as Ricky Skaggs and the Dixie Chicks, and has performed with symphonies in the United States and Europe. Droll has played guitar on various projects involving Keller Williams, Kevin Kinney, and Brandi Carlile; he is also a composer, and painter. series sponsor

MELISSA ETHERIDGE: M.E. SOLO Tuesday, June 21 at 7:30pm | The Palladium Melissa Etheridge stormed onto the American rock scene in 1988 with the release of her critically acclaimed self-titled debut album, her popularity grew around such memorable originals as "Bring Me Some Water," "No Souvenirs" and "Ain't It Heavy," for which she won a Grammy in 1992. Etheridge hit her commercial and artistic stride with her fourth album, Yes I Am (1993). The collection featured the massive hits, "I'm the Only One" and "Come to My Window," and brought Etheridge her second Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Performance.

In 1995, Etheridge issued her highest charting album, Your Little Secret. Her astounding success that year led to Etheridge receiving the Songwriter of the Year honor at the ASCAP Pop Awards in 1996.

Most recently, Etheridge released her latest album This Is M.E. in September 2014, which features singles "Take My Number," "A Little Bit of Me," and "Monster."

MICHAEL MCDONALD Wednesday, July 6 at 7:30pm | The Palladium Two notes. That’s all it takes to recognize the voice of Michael McDonald. Distinctive and soulful, it is one of the most yearningly emotive instruments of our times. To this add formidable songwriting and keyboard skills, and you have an artist who has been a singular musical presence for four decades. From ‘70s-era Doobie Brothers classics such as “What A Fool Believes” and solo hits like “I Keep Forgettin’” through two highly-acclaimed Motown albums, genre-busting guest spots and innovative concept shows, the five-time Grammy Award winning McDonald is both timeless and ever-evolving.

Beyond his music, McDonald has long been an active humanitarian. He has lent his talents and energies to many causes and benefits, including MusiCares, the National Council of Alcoholism and Drug Abuse, the 7UP Grammy Signature Schools Program and was part of a starstudded lineup at Kokua For Japan, a concert that raised $1.6 million for tsunami relief.
