Notes on the Program

steven stucky Sonate en forme de préludes for oboe, horn, and harpsichord Steven Stucky (b. 1949), professor of composition at Cornell University and renowned American composer, wrote Sonate en forme de préludes for oboe, horn, and harpsichord in 2003–2004 on a commission by the Carnegie Hall Corporation as part of Emanuel Ax’s Perspectives series. It was premiered at Carnegie Hall in 2004 with Ax playing harpsichord and YSM faculty members Stephen Taylor, oboe, and William Purvis, horn. The piece came to life as the result of a project left unfinished by Claude Debussy. In 1915, Debussy decided to compose six sonatas for varied instrumental groups, but he was already fighting a losing battle with cancer. By his death in 1917, he had only completed three of the sonatas.

Carnegie Hall decided in 2003 to commission Stucky, Kaija Saariaho, and Marc-André Dalbavie to write one sonata each to complete Debussy’s project, after a fashion. Stucky had the task of matching Debussy’s plan of writing a sonata for oboe, horn, and harpsichord, a complicated task due to the harpsichord’s lesser volume in comparison with the other two instruments. Stucky employs arpeggios and other rapid figuration to use the harpsichord’s articulation as a strength, starting with the first movement, Accords brisés (Broken chords). The nineteen-minute piece has seven movements, each its own character piece. Stucky pays further tribute to Debussy by choosing a sequence of preludes as the form and placing the titles in parentheses.

francis poulenc Sextet for winds and piano in C major Francis Poulenc (1899–1963) had begun plans for the Sextet in C major by 1931.

Writing to a friend, he apologized that he had not completed the work on his original schedule, as he did not expect to find a publisher for it and needed to work on the pieces that would sustain him. He finished the Sextet in 1932, with a premiere the next year, though he later became extremely critical of this original version and, several years later, decided to revise it. The prospect of war played a large role in this decision and in Poulenc’s life as a whole in the 1930s. He had been part of the French army reserve since 1934, and at age 19 had already fought in World War I. Seeing the rising tensions in Europe, he worried about the possibility of fighting again, at one point writing to a friend that he would gladly sacrifice his legs if he could only keep his hands. With war at hand in 1939–40, he worked at consolidating his oeuvre and revising works such as the Sextet.

He was drafted into the anti-aircraft division in the spring of 1940, but by that summer, after France’s surrender, had been demobilized. Poulenc kept the manuscript of the Sextet with him, so that he could make sure it got to Copenhagen, where Hansen had agreed to publish it for the first time. The new premiere occurred that year, and the piece was finally published in 1945 as the war ended.

Poulenc dedicated the Sextet to George Salles, with whom he stayed in Paris when he visited in the early 1930s after having moved to Noizay. The piece has three movements and takes about eighteen minutes to perform.

Notes on the Program

Poulenc writes effectively for winds, using the colors of various registers to achieve particular tones. The lively first movement, Allegro vivace, evokes the energy and colors of Poulenc’s Le Bal Masqué, also written in 1932.

The lyrical slow middle section features solo instruments before returning to the faster tempo. The movement begins and ends in A, but like the rest of the piece, does not settle in any one key for long. The Divertissement has rich harmonies and subtle shifts in mood.

The Finale, in a brisk Prestissimo, functions similarly to a rondo in that a central theme continually returns, each time in a new key.

The coda of the piece suddenly slows and softens, leading to a grand climax in C major.

franz schubert Fantasia in C major, D. 934 for violin and piano Franz Schubert (1797–1828) completed the Fantasy in C major, D. 934 for violin and piano in December 1827, during the last year of his life. He had composed it for the violinist Josef Slavík (1806–1833), whom he had met the year before, and the pianist Carl Maria von Bocklet (1801–1881), who had arrived in Vienna in 1821. Contemporary accounts note that, in Vienna, Bocklet had “created a great stir there through his interesting free fantasias on the piano,” and Schubert decided to expand his contributions to the genre with this piece. Though he wrote many fantasias for piano solo and duet, D. 934 was the only one that involved another instrument. Unfortunately, the first performance in January 1828 did not go well.

A review noted that “Bocklet is the right man,” but Slavík was reportedly “unable to cope with the difficult part,” and the fantasia

did not gain much traction. The Viennese Allgemeine Theaterzeitung opined that the composition “really can be enjoyed properly only by an educated audience in a smaller hall.” Diabelli finally published the piece in 1850 as Op. posth. 159, after the violin part was simplified to become more playable.

Much of the difficulty stemmed from the rapid arpeggiation and keys filled with flats.

The virtuoso violinist August Wilhelmj got around the difficulty by transposing the variations from A-flat major to A major in his public concerts.

The piece has as its centerpiece a set of elaborate variations on Schubert’s own song “Sei mir gegrüsst,” D. 741, composed 1821–22. Long instrumental melodic lines contrast the work with the more usual vocal phrases common to Schubert’s music. The keys C, A, and A-flat play pivotal roles in the work. The first and last movements affirm the official key of C major, but the second movement centers around A until modulating to the harmonically distant key of A-flat for the third movement. The rapid figurework in a difficult key for the violin gives an idea of why Slavík might have found the piece challenging. In the final movement, more highly virtuosic violin passages lead to a deceptive cadence as A-flat major returns one final time, complete with the song melody from the third movement. A strong ending in C major completes the virtuosic work.

Notes on the Program

béla bartók Sonata for two pianos and two percussion

sixth motive appears like a horn call and is present throughout the rest of the movement, including as the subject of a fugato at the end.

Béla Bartók’s Sonata for two pianos and two percussion stands as a seminal work in the 20th-century classical music repertoire.

Written in 1937, the piece was premiered with Bartók and his wife playing the two piano parts. Bartók called it a “sonata” because he did not know whether the percussion part would require two or three players and thus circumvented the word “quartet.” He later found that two percussionists were sufficient but kept the title nonetheless.

The second movement is an example of Bartók’s signature “Night music,” also heard in such pieces as his third piano concerto and his concerto for orchestra. This second movement opens with a sturdy rhythm from the percussion that sets the mood for a spacious, dark melody from the pianos. A second section introduces nocturnal creatures through short quintuplet figures that rap over bell-like chords. The movement is in ternary form, though when the opening section returns it sounds like a dream sequence by way of the rippling scales and tremolos rolling around it.

The return also brings with it the percussion’s steady, square beat.

The piece’s instrumentation is quite unusual and caused Bartók much trepidation in how it would be performed and received. He had a fascination with percussion that came partly from Stravinsky and Varèse, but what influenced him most were the percussive timbres and colors of the Far East and Africa.

As for the piano, Bartók had an intimate relationship to the instrument, being a teacher, performer, and composer of it. In his two piano concerti written prior to the sonata, he experimented with the piano’s percussive nature by occasionally matching it with the percussion section of the orchestra. This sonata exploits the piano’s percussiveness to the fullest.

In contrast, the music of the last movement evokes the brightest of sunshine. The xylophone first introduces a folk-like melody that is more diatonic and linear than the chromatic and circuitous first movement theme.

The movement is full of humor, irony, and energy. At the end, a steady, slowly fading snare drum ostinato evokes a marching band drummer is walking away, and a surprising, delightful C major chord in the upper registers of the pianos ends the piece with a smile.

– Bartók notes by Laura Usiskin

The first movement opens with an ominous, circular, seven-note theme that gradually gains momentum until a dramatic arrival at the allegro section, where the two pianos shout in rhythmic unison. From there the movement, whose length takes up half the entire piece, is a series of climaxes within extended sonata form. In the midst, a rising
