LETTER FROM THE CHAIR AND THE PRESIDENT

Dear Friends,

Welcome to Symphony Center, home of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Chicago Symphony Chorus, Symphony Center Presents, the Negaunee Music Institute, and the Civic Orchestra of Chicago.

In late January, Riccardo Muti and the CSOA announce the exciting 2018–19 season of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Symphony Center Presents. If you are a subscriber, you will receive a season catalog in the mail and be the first to have the opportunity to sign up for the concerts of your choice. If you are not yet a subscriber, we encourage you to become one to enjoy the many benefits associ-ated with this membership.

The CSO has many exciting activities lined up for the balance of the current season, including the Orchestra’s second domestic tour, with eight concerts taking place at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.; Carnegie Hall in New York City; West Palm Beach and Naples, Florida; and Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

We are pleased to bring on this tour two new works commissioned by the CSO: Jennifer Higdon’s Low Brass Concerto, receiving its world premiere at Symphony Center (February 1–3) and featuring the renowned CSO brass; and CSO Mead Composer-in-Residence Samuel Adams’s many words of love, which was premiered by Maestro Muti and the CSO last spring. Additional repertoire on the tour will include Verdi’s Overture to I vespri siciliani, Brahms’s Symphony no. 2, Stravinsky’s Scherzo fantastique, Britten’s Four Sea Interludes from Peter Grimes, Chausson’s Poème de l ’amour et de la mer with mezzo-soprano Clémentine Margaine, and Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto performed by CSO Principal Clarinet Stephen Williamson.

On the Orchestra’s return to Chicago, we welcome back Christoph Eschenbach and Herbert Blomstedt, two distinguished conductors who have had long associations with the CSO. Soloist David Fray joins Eschenbach for Chopin’s Second Piano Concerto. We are also excited to mount our annual Crain-Maling Foundation CSO Young Artists Competition, with finals taking place in an admission-free concert with the Civic Orchestra of Chicago on March 3.

Thank you for being with us today, and please enjoy the perfor-mance. We look forward to enjoying many concerts with you in 2018 and in the years ahead.

Pulitzer Prize–winning composer Jennifer Higdon knows what audiences expect when trombones and tubas take the spotlight during an orchestral performance. Sound loud enough to raise the rafters. Heroic swagger and glittering declamation. Solemn nobility, perhaps, with a hint of impending doom. Or maybe some faintly comic lumbering.

Some of those qualities may pop up in the world premiere of Higdon’s Low Brass Concerto, a Chicago Symphony Orchestra commission to be conducted by Zell Music Director Riccardo Muti on February 1–3 (and to be performed on the CSO’s upcoming East Coast tour). But the American composer, whose extensive catalog includes several concertos for a wide range of solo instruments, was after something different in her commission for a concerto featuring two tenor trombones, bass trombone, and tuba.

In October 2016, Higdon flew to Chicago, from her home in Philadelphia, to meet with the CSO’s low brass section: Jay Friedman, principal trombone; Michael Mulcahy, trombone; Charles Vernon, bass trombone; and Gene Pokorny, principal tuba. “They’re great guys; they were a lot of fun to talk to,” she said. “We sat down and really discussed, believe it or not, what they would like in a concerto. Because when you’re writing a piece for some-one, you can tailor it for that player. They had a list of things. They gave me a DVD of recitals they had done, which helped a lot.”

Higdon also heard the CSO in Mussorgsky’s Pictures from an Exhibition, a work that prominently features the Orchestra’s brass section. “This was amazing, a complete coincidence,” she said. “It was a great way to really hear the brass.”

A few weeks later, she held a similar meeting with the low brass players of the Philadelphia Orchestra, which co-commissioned the concerto. According to Higdon, players at both orchestras asked her for the same unusual element.

“They said, ‘We can play beautifully. We can play softly.’ They wanted some lyrical material,” she said.

WORLD PREMIERE OF A LOW BRASS CONCERTO interview with Wynne Delacoma

THEY WANTED THE AUDIENCE TO HEAR THE BEAUTY OF WHAT THEY CAN DO.

—Jennifer Higdon

They wanted the audience to hear the beauty of what they can do. They also said, “We want music that has serious depth, that isn’t just dancing hippo or dancing elephant music,” which is the kind of music people expect them to play. So I thought about the beauty of the instruments, and I also thought about the power of the instruments. I tried to build on just those two concepts.

Higdon also dispensed with mutes, those devices that brass players stuff into the bells of their instruments to create a thinner, buzzier sound. “I didn’t use mutes at all,” she said. “I thought, ‘Let’s just write music for the sake of music.’ ”

The concerto opens with the brass quartet in a slow, quiet passage unaccompanied by the orchestra. Approximately seventeen minutes long, with no breaks between the slow and fast movements, the piece also includes duets and trios for the featured low brass. “I tried to do a mix of everyone playing together,” said Higdon, “duets, and then solos for each of the players.”

The Low Brass Concerto marks Higdon’s downtown CSO debut. During the Ravinia Festival’s 2004 season, the Orchestra performed her short, rambunctious Loco, one of several train-inspired works commissioned for the park’s 100th anniversary. In 2009, also at Ravinia, the CSO performed her Concerto 4-3, a piece with a tinge of bluegrass that also featured several soloists, in this case, three string players: two violins and bass. Christoph Eschenbach conducted both performances.

B orn in Brooklyn, but reared in Atlanta and Tennessee, Higdon, fifty-five, speaks with a lingering

southern lilt. Friendly and approach-able, she nonetheless has forged her own path from an early age. Her father was a freelance visual artist, and she describes her parents as “hippies” who exposed her and her brother to Atlanta’s cutting-edge cinema, art, and theater scenes. Classical music wasn’t high on the family’s agenda; she wrote short stories and

made 8mm films as a youngster. But somehow Higdon became enamored of the flute. She taught herself how to play and won the prized spot as principal flute in the marching band of Heritage High School, Maryville, Tennessee.

“I loved marching band so much, I just loved playing,” she said. “I started out in flute perfor-mance, but my flute teacher got me started on composing: I must have said something about that at some point.”

Higdon did her undergraduate work at Bowling Green University in Ohio and earned master’s and doctoral degrees at the University of Pennsylvania. She also earned an artist’s certifi-cate in composition from the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, where she currently holds a chair in composition.

I THOUGHT ABOUT THE BEAUTY OF THE INSTRUMENTS, AND I ALSO THOUGHT ABOUT THE POWER OF THE INSTRUMENTS. I TRIED TO BUILD ON JUST THOSE TWO CONCEPTS.

An admitted “late starter,” Higdon faced mul-tiple naysayers during her early years in music, especially when she decided to focus on com-posing. “People were like ‘no way you’re going to make a living at this,’ ” she said.

That was the thing I was hearing the most. While I was in school, I made the decision to try to freelance compose, which basically made everyone flip out. My teachers were definitely not happy with me about that one. It was fairly rough going in the early days, but then I started winning competi-tions, and people just started asking me for pieces. That happened when I was still in graduate school.

Higdon also battled against aesthetic head-winds in her student years. In the 1980s, most music schools emphasized a strict focus on atonal, dissonant music. Students like Higdon, more interested in tonal music, were consid-ered renegades.

“There was a lot of pressure when I was in school,” she said.

I took a lot of grief for not following the path they thought I should go on. They said, “You’re not advancing music if you’re not

writing atonally.” But I grew up in an artistic household, and my dad always said you had to question everything. You don’t have to do a certain thing in art; that’s not the way art works. So that was my attitude. I was a fairly independent thinker.

Despite her teachers’ warnings, Higdon has become one of classical music’s busiest compos-ers. She has a hefty catalog of completed works and several pieces, including a chamber opera and several concertos, in the pipeline. Her first opera, Cold Mountain, based on the 1997 novel by Charles Frazier, had its world premiere at the Santa Fe Opera in 2015.

With commissions arriving in a steady stream, Higdon has the luxury of writing in her own authentic voice for top-flight soloists like Hilary Hahn and ensembles like Chicago’s Eighth Blackbird and the CSO.

“For me, the challenge in this Low Brass Concerto was just writing beautiful lines that go well together without any extraneous sound effects,” she said. “To write what I think is engaging music.”

Wynne Delacoma is a Chicago-based arts journalist and lecturer.

MY DAD ALWAYS SAID YOU HAD TO QUESTION EVERYTHING. YOU DON’T HAVE TO DO A CERTAIN THING IN ART; THAT’S NOT THE WAY ART WORKS.

NEGAUNEE MUSIC INSTITUTE AT THE CHICAGO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

Crain-Maling Foundation Chicago Symphony Orchestra Young Artists Competition

Since 1919, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Youth Auditions have featured the most talented young soloists from across Illinois. Past winners have included Rachel Barton Pine, CSO Associate Concertmaster Stephanie Jeong, and jazz great Herbie Hancock, who recently performed at Orchestra Hall in an SCP Jazz spe-cial concert. In an interview with Mike Thomas for CSO Sounds & Stories, Hancock described his debut performance with the CSO as an eleven-year-old pianist as “a major factor” in the development of his passion for music and in furthering his career.

Now known as the Crain-Maling Foundation CSO Young Artists Competition, this reimagined concerto competition identifies one outstanding young performer each season to perform as a soloist with the CSO during the following season. The instrument category rotates each year among strings, piano, and woodwinds/brass/percussion. Last year’s winner, Maya Buchanan, will perform a movement from Korngold’s Violin Concerto with the CSO in March. Her performance of the first movement of the concerto with the Civic Orchestra, recorded during the final round of last year’s competition, has also been featured on WFMT’s program Introductions.

This season’s applicants are asked to pre-pare one movement from a selection of piano concertos. A preliminary round will be held on January 27 and 28 at Symphony Center. Finalists will perform in Orchestra Hall on March 3, accompanied by the Civic Orchestra of Chicago under the direction of Sir Georg Solti Conducting Apprentice Erina Yashima.

This final performance is open to the public and begins at 2 p.m. Those interested may apply for a scholarship of up to $1000 toward a music camp or festival of their choosing.

For more information including eligibility require-ments, the repertoire list, and application instructions for the competition, please visit cso.org/yac.

Muti Conducts Vienna’s New Year’s Concert

With a group of Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association trustees, governing members, patrons, and President Jeff Alexander in atten-dance, the celebrated annual event was televised and broadcast on New Year’s Day to as many as fifty million people across more than ninety-five countries. “Muti is the grand seigneur among the star conductors,” wrote Karlheinz Roschitz of Vienna’s Kronen Zeitung, “a sound magician,

who, with just a few gestures, evokes beauty, love, and passion . . . but also, melancholy, Strauss’s famous ‘tear in the eye.’ And he relishes the sumptuous festiveness of Strauss.”

The Vienna Philharmonic’s New Year’s Concert is a long-standing tradition that dates to the late 1930s and early ’40s. With their cele-bratory tone and masterful interpretations of Vienna’s signature waltzes, marches, and polkas, the concerts have continu-ally grown in popularity and usher in each New Year with joy and optimism.

Muti conducted with “charisma, elegance, transparency, and fire, when appropriate,” according to Milan-based newspaper Corriere della Sera, as he led the ensemble with which he has had a close relationship since 1971. Salzburger Nachrichten noted that “Muti stimulated rather than tamed the musicians.” “He gives the philharmonic free rein, free rhythm. In return, he insists on exactness when he knows he is right,” added Wilhelm Sinkovicz of Vienna’s Die Presse.

Muti also provided an Italianate touch to this program by including works inspired by Italy, such as Roses from the South (nicknamed “La bella Italia”) and the inventive Quadrille by Johann Strauss, Jr., inspired by Verdi’s Un ballo in maschera. The Blue Danube Waltz and the Radetzky March, which brought the concert to its traditional close, were met with thunderous applause and standing ovations.

In honor of the world-premiere performances of Jennifer Higdon’s Low Brass Concerto, February 1–3, featured soloists and members of the CSO share their unique perspectives.

Jay Friedman Principal Trombone The Lisa and Paul Wiggin Principal Trombone Chair

What does it mean to you to be part of the low brass section of the CSO?The style is so strong and has been well established through the years. I was lucky enough to play with Mr. (Arnold) Jacobs and Mr. (Adolph) Herseth for about thirty-five years, to learn from them, and to carry on the tradition with my colleagues.

Is there a precedence for concertos written for this grouping of instruments?I’m reminded of something I read years ago about Robert Schumann as he was writing the Konzertstück for Four

Horns. Nobody had ever writ-ten anything like that before, so he said “I’m flying blind here. I’m creating a new musical form, and I have nothing to relate it to historically.” I imag-ine that Jennifer felt the same way; she knew this would be an interesting experiment.

What did you discuss with the composer for this commission?There’s quite a bit of lyrical writing in this piece, and we really stressed that desire to her. I also asked her not to have any gimmicks in there, like different mutes or glissandos,

circus effects—make it all pure music. I think she responded to that request well.

Describe the collaborative process with Riccardo Muti.I told him recently that other conductors rehearse the concert and then simply conduct what they rehearsed at the perfor-mance. He doesn’t do that. He rehearses, and then he rehearses the concert during the concert, which is even more intense and gets better results because he’s so involved in the music making.

What does it mean to you to be part of the low brass section of the CSO?This section has a history of not only legendary players, but also influential teachers. People from all over the world came to Chicago, as I did, to study and to get coaching. We have an awareness of the standard and style that has been created by this section historically, and a desire to continue to build on that tradition.

Describe the sound of the low brass section.It’s true that it’s a powerful orchestra and section, but

what is equally true and more unique is the fact that there is a lot of control with subtle dynamics. Of course we love the exciting big bits, but the wonderful thing about when we’re playing softly is that we’re often exposed—then you can really hear the amazing color of the section.

Is there a precedence for concertos written for this grouping of instruments?We have a tradition of pre-miering new works for brass. We’re very lucky to have the support of the Schmidt family, who have commissioned several

brass works, and each of us has given world premieres of concertos in the past. When you look at the history of all those pieces and now a new one, it’s historically significant. It’s unique in the world.

Describe the collaborative process with Riccardo Muti.When he has a score before him, he is the representative of the composer, and he’s very strict with himself. He is a dis-ciplined musician. Every con-cert counts. Whether in Vienna or a community concert, he is engaged and prepared.

Charles Vernon Trombone

What does it mean to you to be part of the low brass section of the CSO?One thing that I know and remind people about all the time is that this is the easiest place to perform because everybody just plays—similarly, the same. In other orchestras, there’s a lot of work towards getting a certain style, but here it just locks right in.

Is there a precedence for concertos written for this grouping of instruments?There have been several other trombone-section concertos written over the years. Basically

they’re all the same: showing the section as a whole without much interaction with the other members of the orchestra. Some are almost like a quar-tet. We understand the desire to feature the section on its own, but for this concerto, we wanted more interaction with the orchestra.

What should the audience listen for in this concerto?The piece starts with the four of us as a section, which is an impressive moment, but there is good energy throughout. All I can say is that when the maestro is up there, things

change; it puts a new light on what we’re doing. Muti can take something and make it really exciting.

Describe the collaborative process with Riccardo Muti.We’re the luckiest musicians on the planet to be in the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and have him as the music director. There’s nothing like it anywhere; there’s nothing like him anywhere. With this unit, everything is at the highest possible level. I’m confident that, with him, this piece is going to be a hit.

Gene Pokorny Principal Tuba The Arnold Jacobs Principal Tuba Chair, endowed by Christine Querfeld

What does it mean to you to be part of the low brass section of the CSO?I am very honored to be part of the ensemble. The reputation of the brass section developed in the mid-1940s with Arnold Jacobs (tuba) on one end and, later, a new hire, Adolph Herseth (trumpet) on the top. With malleable colleagues in the middle between these strong bookends, a formidable brass section was forged. When the Orchestra found itself in European centers of music in the 1970s, the reputation of the

brass section really took off. To step into these very large shoes of those who came before us is more of an honor than you could believe.

What should the audience listen for in this concerto?I’m very glad that Jennifer chose to write for a contrabass tuba. Most of the time when there’s a solo piece for tuba, it’s written for a smaller instrument with a higher range. There’s a deeper sound with contrabass. In fact, this tuba is the one that Jacobs played in the Orchestra.

I’m glad to be part of that history by playing the very same instrument, continuing that legacy from 1944 up to this premiere.

Describe the collaborative process with Riccardo Muti.He gets up there and sells every work as if it’s the greatest piece of Western music ever written. He’s so involved in making a piece successful not only for the Orchestra and for the audience, but also for posterity.

What inspires your love of music?

JARED KAPLAN: My father was a very accomplished pianist who would practice four or five hours a day, even though he was a practicing lawyer; I can’t figure out how he found the time. I was inspired by him and played the piano, but quit when I graduated law school.

MARIDEE QUANBECK: In fact, we’ve been married twenty-seven years, and I haven’t heard him play the piano once. When he says he gave it up, he means it!

When it came to me, I decided not to play piano. I saw my older sister practice, and it seemed like the worst thing in the world. My parents always sang in the church choir, so I grew up with a lot of church music, Bach and Handel, but not a lot of symphonic music. It wasn’t until I met Jerry that I went to my first symphony.

Do you have a first memory of attending the Chicago Symphony Orchestra?

JK: I feel like I’ve attended all my life. When I graduated law school, I started subscribing immediately. My father used to have seats up front on the left side. He’d go whenever there was a piano soloist and follow the score.

MQ: When I met Jerry, he had two subscriptions. We would go all the time.

How did you first get involved as a Governing Member?

JK: One of my former partners, Tom Campbell, was Vice Chair of Nominations and Membership. He asked why I wasn’t a Governing Member (GM). I asked “What’s that?” He explained it to me, and so I joined.

MQ: Once Jerry joined the GMs, it really expanded our contact with the sym-phony. Up until then, I was just an audience member. The last eleven years have been a lot more fulfilling as a patron. We always know people at Symphony Center. It’s expanded my contact with and enthusiasm for the organization.

Tell us about the Patrons Tours you’ve participated in.

JK: We’ve been on three tours. The first one we went on was to New York, followed by a tour to Poland, Switzerland, and Paris, and most recently we went on the tour to the Canary Islands. While the Canary Islands and Paris sound like exotic places, a high point for us was that first performance at Carnegie Hall in New York. Before the Orchestra even began playing, there was a lengthy standing ovation when Maestro Muti took the stage. That’s when we realized what his joining the Orchestra meant to the musicians, and even to that New York audience.

MQ: On tours we have lots of contact with the musicians. They go on sightseeing tours with us and have dinner with us. You see them in different settings. Those were really fun things to do. What makes the tours extra memorable is getting up close and personal with the musicians.

Jared Kaplan and Maridee Quanbeck have been attending the CSO for over forty years as subscribers and are members of the Theodore Thomas Society. Jerry, who has been a Governing Member (GM) for eleven years, currently serves as the GM Chairman. He previously served as Vice Chair of the Nominations and Membership Committee in the 2012–13 & 2013–14 seasons. Recently retired, Jerry and Maridee enjoy traveling, attending the symphony, and catching a play in Chicago or the West End.

What inspires you to continue supporting the CSO?

JK: It never occurred to me not to subscribe to the symphony. The eleven years that I’ve been a GM have really given us an added dimension. We’re now interacting with the Orchestra from the inside rather than the outside. It’s a different feeling every time we go to a concert. We really feel like part of the CSO family. It’s a big difference. When we see the musicians onstage, they’re real people we’ve seen at dinners or other events. It gives us a greater depth of appreciation for the symphony.

MQ: As you get more involved, you realize the CSO is a major cultural institution in the city of Chicago. It’s the brightest light that we have in this city for cul-ture. We just have to support it. What would we do without it?

Do you have any advice for those looking to get more involved at the CSO?

JK: Join the GMs and actively participate in the events! GMs get a lot more out of their membership than the donor groups of a lot of other organi-zations. You get great events, VIP ticketing, membership in the Thomas Club, postconcert receptions, patron tours, and interactive intermissions. There’s a lot happening on a constant basis. It’s a terrific value. If you’re willing to par-ticipate, you’ll get a lot out of it.

What inspires your love of music?I started playing the flute when I was in fifth grade and loved it so much, that I played all the way through college. When I play music, the passage of time speeds up. Five hours feels like five minutes and that makes playing a great escape from my daily life.

I still play in the Buffalo Grove Symphonic Band and have played in a lot of different community bands in Florida, Boston, and Hawaii.

How did you first get involved with the Overture Council?I recently stopped traveling for work and was looking for a way to meet new people who had the common interest of the love of classical music. I looked on cso.org, found the Overture Council, and joined!

I really like the Overture Council. The members all have a common interest, and I have made some great friends. There are social events, educational events, and unique oppor-tunities to get a view of the inner workings of the CSO. The calendar includes events on different days of the week, offering everyone a chance to participate.

Tell us about Soundpost and your work as Co-Chair this season. What do you hope to achieve?I became the Soundpost co-chair in July with Elliot Callighan. My work is very enjoyable, because it gives me

the opportunity to help produce something creative and help bring young professionals to the Orchestra. It’s important to bring in a young audience to the Orchestra to get them excited about classical music. I’m nervous about the future of classical music and want to draw young people in to hear the Orchestra and inspire them to love classical music for the rest of their lives.

Are there any particular concerts you are looking forward to this season?I love holiday concerts! I have tickets to Home Alone and Merry, Merry Chicago! I also have tickets to the John Williams program in April and the Yo-Yo Ma concert in June. I’m looking forward to Lincoln Portrait by Copland and several other concerts to be determined.

My favorite composer, however, is a band composer—Percy Grainger. I enjoy how he incorporates common folk tunes into his works.

What is your advice for first-time concertgoers?People think they have to enjoy classical music in a certain way. That is not true! I encour-age people to enjoy it in their own way.

If you want to learn a bit more about the music before you attend a concert, Soundpost is a great way to enjoy the CSO. Soundpost explores the role of classical music in today’s world and includes a pre-concert lecture, light bites, and min-gling with others who share an interest in exploring classical music. The programming ties to the music you’re about to hear so you can walk into the hall with a bit of knowledge and something to consider as you listen to the concert. And it’s a great deal at $35.

Kristin Jaburek has been a member of the CSO Overture Council (OC) since the 2016–17 season and currently serves as the Soundpost Co-Chair with Elliot Callighan. She works in technology consulting, helping retailers to better serve their customers by aligning tech-nology with business strategy. Kristin played the flute throughout university while studying engineer-ing and geography. She also loves to spend as much time as possible each year in Hawaii pursuing her passions for longboard surfing and hiking.

Wolfgang MozartBorn January 27, 1756; Salzburg, AustriaDied December 5, 1791; Vienna, Austria

Symphony No. 39 in E-flat Major, K. 543

Ironically, it’s Mozart’s last three symphonies rather than the famous requiem that remain the mystery of his final years. Almost as soon as Mozart died, romantic myth attached itself to the unfinished pages of the requiem left scattered

on his bed; a host of questions—who commis-sioned the work?; who finished it?; was Mozart poisoned?—inspired painters, novelists, biogra-phers, librettists, playwrights, and screenwriters to heights of imaginative re-creation. We now know those answers: the requiem is unfinished, but not unexplained.

The final symphonies, on the other hand—no. 39 in E-flat, the “great” G minor (no. 40), and the Jupiter (no. 41)—continue to beg more questions than we can answer. Even what was once the most provocative fact about these works—that Mozart never heard them—is now doubtful. We no longer believe that Mozart wrote these three great symphonies for the drawer alone—that goes against all we know of his working methods. But we don’t know what orchestra or occasion he had in mind.

Apparently, a series of subscription concerts was planned for the summer of 1788, when Mozart entered the three symphonies in his catalog, but there’s no evidence that the performances took place. It’s likely that the works were conceived as a trilogy, with publication in mind (symphonies often were printed in groups of three), but they weren’t published during Mozart’s lifetime.

Did Mozart ever hear them? Even if the projected subscription series of 1788 never took place, Mozart did tour Germany the following year, conducting concerts for which we have only sketchy details. “A Symphony,” for example, was advertised for the program at the Leipzig Gewandhaus on May 12. And back home in Vienna, no less a musical big shot than Antonio Salieri conducted concerts on April 16 and 17, 1791, featuring a “grand symphony” by Mozart. The fact that the G minor symphony exists in two versions—with and without clarinets—argues that Mozart revised the score for a specific performance.

The Symphony no. 39 in E-flat major is the least studied and performed of the three sym-phonies, and that in itself is something of a puzzle, for it is no less a masterwork. It doesn’t, however, have the tragic romanticism of the G minor symphony or the magnificent heroics

that earned the C major its nickname, the Jupiter. In the nineteenth century, when only the most dramatic of Mozart’s works remained in the repertory, the E-flat symphony had no story to tell. Its hallmarks are purely musical—difficult to pinpoint or explain—and it’s a work of considerable understatement.

T here’s nothing in the first movement that doesn’t fit the textbook model of classical sonata form. Even the large, slow intro-

duction, which Mozart rarely uses in his sym-phonies, is a standard feature of Haydn’s output at the same time. But listen to the way Mozart’s introduction—exalted and grand, with stately dotted rhythms and rich chromaticism—sweeps

almost impercepti-bly into the lovely, singing main Allegro (Charles Rosen pointed out that the melody of the Allegro literally extends the unfinished cadence of the introduction). The effect is subtle and very modern—almost cinematic in the seamless merging from one scene to another—and the point was not lost on Beethoven, who spent much of his career perfecting the art of transition.

Mozart’s Allegro, beginning with a thread of sound and building to a point of high intensity, is made of strong and bold materials, unostenta-tiously used.

The Andante is a marvel of sustained elo-quence, capped by moments of great power and passion that are all the more remarkable in music of such spare, chamber-music textures. The third movement is one of Mozart’s most celebrated minuets, complete with a trio introduced by clar-inets and based, for once, on a real rather than an imaginary ländler. The finale, in perpetual motion and colored by pervasive humor, is built entirely from one theme, and although Mozart pretends that his “second theme” is new, it is in fact merely a clever makeover of the first.

27

The story of how the Eroica Symphony got its title is nearly as famous as the music itself. We know that Beethoven intended to name his third sym-phony for Napoleon Bonaparte and his fight against political tyranny, that he tore up the title

page in a fit of rage when he learned that Napoleon had appointed himself emperor, and that he opted for the title Sinfonia eroica (Heroic symphony) instead. The subtexts—idealism and disillusionment, personal greed and the lust for power, the struggle between art and politics, among others—are intense, and they have come to overshadow one of the most remarkable, even revolutionary works of art we have. A century after Beethoven, Toscanini tried to restore reason, famously brushing aside a hundred years of connotations: “Some say it is Napoleon, some Hitler, some Mussolini. For me it is simply Allegro con brio.”

Beethoven had been contemplating a sym-phony inspired by General Bonaparte since 1798. Most of the music was composed in the summer of 1803, only months after Beethoven wrote his most revealing nonmusical work—the

Heiligenstadt Testament—a painful confir-mation of worsening deafness and thoughts of suicide. It was one of the lowest points in a life that understood despair only too well. The composition of an important and substantial new symphony was Beethoven’s great rallying cry—a heroic act in itself. The first draft was probably completed by November 1803. Beethoven’s extensive sketches, nicely preserved and often studied, confirm that the new symphony gave its composer a lot of trouble. In May 1804, when the news reached Vienna that Napoleon had declared himself emperor, Beethoven felt betrayed. According to the account later written by his student Ferdinand Ries, when he broke the news to Beethoven, the composer “went to the table, took hold of the title page by the top, tore it in two, and threw it to the floor.”

What Ries didn’t mention was that Beethoven’s own motives were sometimes suspi-cious themselves. Although Beethoven had long

intended to name the symphony after Bonaparte, he quickly dropped that plan when he learned that Prince Lobkovitz would pay him hand-somely for the same honor. Later, after he had ripped up the title page, Beethoven temporarily recanted when he realized that a Bonaparte sym-phony would be just the thing for his upcoming trip to Paris.

In 1806, when it came time to publish the E-flat major symphony, Beethoven suggested “Sinfonia eroica, composed to celebrate the memory of a great man,” without mentioning Napoleon. Beethoven’s last reputed words on the subject, full of the anger and resentment he surely felt, came later, after Napoleon’s victory at Jena: “It’s a pity I do not understand the art of war as well as I do the art of music. I would conquer him!” History doesn’t tell us what, if anything, Napoleon thought of Beethoven’s music. When Cherubini, whom he did admire, once suggested that Napoleon knew no more about music than he knew of battle, the emperor immediately stripped him of his offices and power, leaving him with virtually no income.

T he Eroica is perhaps the first great symphony to have captured the romantic imagination. It’s not as openly sugges-

tive as the later Pastoral, with its birdcalls and thunderstorm, nor as specific as the Ninth, with

its unmistakable message of hope and freedom. But to the Viennese audience at the first perfor-mance, on April 7, 1805, Beethoven’s vast and powerful first movement and the funeral march that follows must have sounded like nothing else in all music.

Never before had symphonic music aspired to these dimensions. We’re told that a man in the gallery shouted down: “I’ll give another Kreutzer if the thing will only stop!” Audiences then, just as today, brought certain expectations to the concert hall, and knowing the length of a piece is one of them. But Beethoven’s Allegro con brio was longer—and bigger, in every sense—than any other symphonic movement at the time (the first movement of Mozart’s Prague Symphony comes the closest). It’s also a question of pro-portion, and Beethoven’s central development section, abounding in some truly monumental statements, is enormous.

It has been suggested that Beethoven was writing without themes at the beginning of the first movement; the comment is not meant disparagingly, but as proof that the essence of Beethoven’s language is not melody, but tension and movement. The celebrated English critic Donald Tovey insisted that many of Beethoven’s themes “can be recognized by their bare rhythm without quoting any melody at all.” The very opening of the Eroica consists of no more than

two E-flat major chords, played forte, followed by the cellos jumping back and forth over the notes of an E-flat triad. The first exceptional event comes when the cellos stumble on C-sharp, a note we never expected to hear, and one that opens unforeseen vistas only seven bars into the piece. From there, Beethoven continues to spread his wings, even settling comfortably in the very remote key of E minor just moments before he whisks us back to the E-flat major chords with which he began. Beethoven’s writing, in the most expansive piece he had yet composed, is tight and closely unified. Although analysts often point out the

unprecedented use of a new theme in the development section, it’s not unique (see Mozart’s Symphony no. 33), nor is the theme truly new.

Ries was perhaps the first person to be misled by the “premature” entry of the horn four bars before the start of the recapitulation, and he lost Beethoven’s respect forever when he rushed up to tell him that the player had come in at the wrong place. It’s one of Beethoven’s little jokes, all the more effective for being told at a whisper. The coda is as big and important as a movement in itself, but something of this stature is needed to bring us back to earth before we move on.

The Adagio is a funeral march of measured solemnity, pushed forward by the low rumble of the basses, like the sound of muffled drums. Beethoven raised some eyebrows by placing the funeral music so early in the symphony, but this is music, not biography, and chronology is beside the point. The two interludes are particularly moving—the first because it casts a sudden ray of sunlight on the grim proceedings; the second, because it carries the single thread of melody into a vast double fugue of almost unseemly magnifi-cence. The music ends with some consolation, but even more grief.

Beethoven’s funeral music gives way to a brilliant (though often very quiet) scherzo, just as the prisoners in Fidelio emerge from the dungeon into the blinding daylight. Here, the modest minuet of Haydn and Mozart has become some-thing truly symphonic in scope.

Beethoven’s finale is a set of variations on a theme he had used several times before, prin-cipally in his ballet The Creatures of Prometheus. This is an unusually complex and multifaceted piece of music. It’s not just the conclusion, but the culmination, of all that came before. Beethoven begins with a simple, unattached bass line before introducing the theme itself. The vari-ety and range of style are extraordinary: a fugue on the bass line, a virtuosic showpiece for flute, a swinging dance in G minor, and an expansive hymn. Beethoven moves from one event to the next, making their connections seem not only obvious, but inevitable. Some of it is splendid solemnity, some high humor, and Beethoven touches on much in between. A magnificent coda, which continues to stake out new territory even while wrapping things up, ends with bursts of joy from the horns.

Noble, charming, sober, modest. Such qualities may play a major role in human coexistence and are certainly appreciated. However, they are rather untypical for such extraordinary personalities as

conductors. Whatever the general public’s notion of a conductor may be, Herbert Blomstedt is an exception, precisely because he possesses those very qualities which seemingly have so little to do with a conductor’s claim to power. The fact that he disproves the usual clichés in many respects should certainly not lead to the assump-tion that he does not have the power to assert his clearly defined musical goals. Anyone who has attended Herbert Blomstedt’s rehearsals and experienced his concentration on the essence of the music, the precision in the phrasing of musical facts and circumstances as they appear in the score, and the tenacity regarding the imple-mentation of an aesthetic view, is likely to have been amazed at how few despotic measures were required to this end.

Basically, Herbert Blomstedt has always represented that type of artist whose professional

competence and natural authority make all external emphasis superfluous. His work as a conductor is inseparably linked to his religious and human ethos; accordingly, his interpreta-tions combine great faithfulness to the score and analytical precision with a soulfulness that awakens the music to pulsating life. In the more than sixty years of his career, he has acquired the unrestricted respect of the musical world.

Over the years, many outstanding ensembles around the globe have been fortunate to secure the services of this highly respected Swedish con-ductor, born in the United States and educated in Uppsala, New York, Darmstadt, and Basel.

At the age of ninety, with enormous mental and physical presence, verve, and artistic drive, Herbert Blomstedt continues to be at the helm of all leading international orchestras.

Now celebrating its 127th season, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra is consistently hailed as one of the world’s leading orchestras. In September 2010, renowned Italian conductor Riccardo Muti became its tenth music director. His vision for the Orchestra—to deepen its engagement with the Chicago community, to nurture its legacy while supporting a new generation of musicians, and to collaborate with visionary artists—signals a new era for the institution.

The Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s distin-guished history began in 1889, when Theodore Thomas, then the leading conductor in America and a recognized music pioneer, was invited by Chicago businessman Charles Norman Fay to establish a symphony orchestra here. Thomas’s aim to establish a permanent orchestra with performance capabilities of the highest quality was realized at the first concerts in October 1891. Thomas served as music director until his death in 1905—just three weeks after the dedication of Orchestra Hall, the Orchestra’s permanent home designed by Daniel Burnham.

Frederick Stock, recruited by Thomas to the viola section in 1895, became assistant conductor in 1899, and succeeded the Orchestra’s founder. His tenure lasted thirty-seven years, from 1905 to 1942—the longest of the Orchestra’s music direc-tors. Dynamic and innovative, the Stock years saw the founding of the Civic Orchestra of Chicago, the first training orchestra in the United States affiliated with a major symphony orchestra, in 1919. He also established youth auditions, orga-nized the first subscription concerts especially for children, and began a series of popular concerts.

Three distinguished conductors headed the Orchestra during the following decade: Désiré Defauw was music director from 1943 to 1947; Artur Rodzinski assumed the post in 1947–48; and Rafael Kubelík led the ensemble for three seasons from 1950 to 1953. The next ten years belonged to Fritz Reiner, whose recordings with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra are still considered performance hallmarks. It was Reiner who invited Margaret Hillis to form the Chicago Symphony Chorus in 1957. For the five seasons from 1963 to 1968, Jean Martinon held the position of music director.

Sir Georg Solti, the Orchestra’s eighth music director, served from 1969 until 1991. He then held the title of music director laureate and returned to conduct the Orchestra for several

weeks each season until his death in September 1997. Solti’s arrival launched one of the most successful musical partnerships of our time, and the CSO made its first overseas tour to Europe in 1971 under his direction, along with numerous award-winning recordings.

Daniel Barenboim was named music director designate in January 1989, and he became the Orchestra’s ninth music director in September 1991, a position he held until June 2006. His tenure was distinguished by the opening of Symphony Center in 1997, highly praised oper-atic productions at Orchestra Hall, numerous appearances with the Orchestra in the dual role of pianist and conductor, twenty-one interna-tional tours, and the appointment of Duain Wolfe as the Chorus’s second director.

From 2006 to 2010, Bernard Haitink held the post of principal conductor, the first in CSO his-tory. Pierre Boulez’s long-standing relationship with the CSO led to his appointment as principal guest conductor in 1995. He was named Helen Regenstein Conductor Emeritus in 2006, a position he held until his death in January 2016. Only two others have served as principal guest conductors: Carlo Maria Giulini, who began to appear in Chicago regularly in the late 1950s, was named to the post in 1969, serving until 1972. Claudio Abbado held the position from 1982 to 1985.

In January 2010, Yo-Yo Ma was appointed the CSO’s Judson and Joyce Green Creative Consultant by Riccardo Muti. In this role, he partners with Muti, staff, and musicians to provide program development for the Negaunee Music Institute at the CSO.

Mead Composers-in-Residence Samuel Adams and Elizabeth Ogonek were appointed by Riccardo Muti and began their three-year terms in the fall of 2015. In addition to composing, they curate the contemporary MusicNOW series.

Since 1916, recording has been a significant part of the Orchestra’s activities. Current releases on CSO Resound, the Orchestra’s indepen-dent recording label, include the Grammy Award–winning release of Verdi’s Requiem led by Riccardo Muti. Recordings by the CSO have earned sixty-two Grammy awards from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences.
