john cage Third Construction

roger smalley Trio for Clarinet, Viola and Piano

John Cage’s Third Construction for four percussionists is the third and final work in a series of “Constructions” for percussion instruments.

Several writings of Cage mention a fourth Construction, but this piece was either never finished, or was ultimately given the title Imaginary Landscape No. 2 (March). In addition to traditional Western percussion instruments, Cage also includes Eastern instruments like Chinese cymbals and rattles as well as found objects like tin cans in the instrumentation. The work was written in 1941 while Cage was working at the Cornish School for the Arts in Seattle. The constructions all are meticulously structured in large equal sections that are partitioned into different unequal smaller sections.

British-born composer Roger Smalley has been living and working in Perth and Sydney, Australia since the 1970s. He completed his initial studies at the Royal Conservatory of Music in London, studying composition with Peter Racine Fricker and John White. Smalley is also well-known as an accomplished pianist, having studied with Antony Hopkins while studying at the RCM. He pursued additional compositional studies with Alexander Goehr, Karlheinz Stockhausen at his Cologne Course for New Music, and with Pierre Boulez at his Darmstadt summer course in 1965. Despite his decisively modern voice, his studies as a pianist exposed him to a wide range of pre–20th-century repertoire that has influenced his compositions.

Brahms’s Sonata for Clarinet/Viola, Op. 102, No. 2 is the source material for Smalley’s Trio for Clarinet, Viola and Piano as well as an inspiration for Smalley’s choice of instrumentation. Smalley rearticulates Brahms’ ideas in a fractured way that allows his own voice to shine through Brahms’ inverted and reworked material.

The Third Construction consists of 24 sections of 24 measures each. These large sections are divided and ordered into a cyclical pattern of smaller sections of 8, 2, 4, 5, 3 and 2 measures.

While the order of the subsections does not change, each percussionist begins with a subsection of a different length and proceeds in the order described above. The piece was dedicated to Cage’s wife at the time of the piece’s completion, Xenia Kashevaroff-Cage.

richard strauss Till Eulenspiegel

johannes brahms Piano Trio No. 2 in C major, Op. 87

Richard Strauss’ Till Eulenspiegel is a tone poem based on the German folk hero of the same name. Till Eulenspiegel is believed to have lived around the turn of the fourteenth century, though it is debatable whether he actually existed or the story of his life is merely myth.

The work is accompanied by a program following the misadventures of our hero riding a horse through the market, mocking the Teutonic clergy and academics, and seducing women.

At the end of the work, Till is arrested and sentenced to beheading. Despite his tragic end, the work ends with a recapitulation of the opening material, suggesting a possible resurrection of the hero. Strauss’ tone poem was originally written in 1894–1895 for an orchestra of about 70 musicians. Tonight’s program will feature an arrangement for a quintet of violin, clarinet, horn, bassoon, and double bass made by Franz Hasenörhl in 1954. While the original instrumentation is dramatically stripped down in this arrangement, the audience will hear the two themes representing Till in their original instrumentations of horn and clarinet at the beginning of the work. The academics are still represented by the bassoon, and the violins’ love theme is also preserved in its original instrumentation in this arrangement. Despite being cut down to less than ten percent of the work’s original performing forces, Hasenörhl’s arrangement has been consistently praised for its efficacy.

Johannes Brahms wrote his second piano trio at the age of forty-nine, and this work is recognized by many as the commencement of the most mature period of his compositional career. The trio was written in the summer of 1882, the same time of the composition of the F major string quintet. Throughout the trio, the piano plays as important a role in melodic and thematic activity as the strings. The first movement is in the title key of C major and describes a sonata–allegro form. The first theme is articulated by the violin and cello in octaves, after which the second theme is articulated by the piano underneath sweeping accompanying arpeggios. Next, we hear an intense section of thematic development, followed by a recapitulation of both themes and a rousing coda to conclude the movement. The second movement is in the relative minor of C major, A minor. This slow movement begins with a theme followed by five variations. The fourth variation particularly stands out as it uses a new key, A major, and is saturated with romantic lyricism. The third movement is a dark scherzo in C minor played at predominantly very soft volume levels. The scherzo gives way to a Trio in C major, foreshadowing a return to the home key, but not before a recapitulation of the C minor scherzo. The fourth movement concludes the work with an exciting Finale that returns to the original key of the first movement and demands impeccable virtuosity from all three performers.
