January 2013

Welcome to Severance Hall and the first concerts of 2013!

There is much good news to report about The Cleveland Orch-

estra’s ticket sales success in recent months and for the season as

a whole. Continuing artistic success and significant programmatic

changes have put the current 2012-13 Severance Hall season on

track to achieve a new all-time record for ticket sales revenue.

The months of November and December 2012 broke all previous records. More than

47,000 people purchased tickets for twenty-six performances, a 28% increase over the

twenty-five concerts performed in the same months in 2011.

This success was propelled by the most diversified programming we have ever offered,

ranging from Classical, Celebrity, KeyBank Fridays@7, and Holiday Festival concerts,

to The Nutcracker, Pink Martini, and Charlie Chaplin’s Modern Times accompanied by

the Orchestra. Overall paid attendance filled 92% of the available seats and revenues

totaled $2.8 million, an amazing 60% increase over last year.

Sales are strong for the entire September-to-May season. As January begins, revenues

are running 24% ahead of the same time last year and are on track to achieve an all-time

record of $7.6 million. The previous record was set more than a decade ago.

This season’s renaissance is a convincing sign that the public is responding to the Orch-

estra’s many changes. More people are attending more kinds of performances than

ever before, and more new people — and young people — are entering the doors of

Severance Hall to enjoy the Orchestra’s concerts each week.

A surge of student attendees, attracted by diversified programs, special offers, and

social media, has helped propel audience growth. The number of students attending

Cleveland Orchestra concerts at Severance Hall so far this season has more than dou-

bled over the same period a year ago.

There are many people to acknowledge and thank for this turn-around. Dozens of

sponsors and donors have generously funded the innovations behind these achieve-

ments. Every one of the institution’s employees, the extraordinary members of our

Orchestra and our tireless staff, has risen to the challenge of implementing change

— with our dedicated trustees leading the way. Finally, thousands of longtime and new

patrons have become loyal supporters, venturing with us through the many changes in

recent seasons. Thank you to all.

And what’s still to come? In future seasons, we will pursue ever-greater artistic

achievements under Franz’s inspiring leadership, alongside continuing innovation

as we work to ensure that The Cleveland Orchestra remains relevant and valuable in

our ever-changing community.

U N D E R T H E L E A D E R S H I P of Music Director Franz Welser-Möst, Th e Cleve-

land Orchestra has become one of the most sought-aft er performing ensem-

bles in the world. In concerts at its winter home at Severance Hall and at each

summer’s Blossom Festival, in residencies from Miami to Vienna, and on tour

around the world, Th e Cleveland Orchestra sets standards of artistic excel-

lence, creative programming, and community engagement. Th e partnership

with Franz Welser-Möst, now in its eleventh season — and with a commit-

ment to the Orchestra’s centennial in 2018 — has moved the ensemble forward

with a series of new and ongoing initiatives, including:

the establishment of residencies around the world, fostering creative artistic

growth and an expanded fi nancial base, including an ongoing residency at

the Vienna Musik verein (the fi rst of its kind by an American orchestra);

expansion of education and community programs in Northeast Ohio to

make music an integral and regular part of everyday life for more people; the

2012-13 season includes the launch of an annual Neighborhood Residency pro-

for an intensive week of special activities and performances. First stop is the Gordon

Square Arts District in Cleveland’s Detroit/Shoreway neighborhood in May 2013;

an ongoing residency in Florida, under the name Cleveland Orch estra Miami,

involving an annual series of concerts and community activities, coupled with an

expansive set of educational presentations and collaborations (based on successful

educational programs pioneered at home in Cleveland);

creative new artistic collaborations, including staged works and chamber music

performances, with arts institutions in Northeast Ohio and in Miami;

an array of new concert off erings (including Fridays@7 and Celebrity Series at

Severance Hall as well as movie, themed, and family presentations at Blossom) to

make a wider variety of concerts more available and aff ordable;

a concentrated and ongoing eff ort to develop future generations of audiences for

Cleveland Orchestra concerts in Northeast Ohio, through research, targeted dis-

counts, social media off ers and promotion, and student ticket programs;

continuing and expanded educational partnerships with schools, colleges, and

universities across Northeast Ohio and in the Miami-Dade community;

additional new residencies at Indiana University and at New York’s Lincoln Cen-

ter Festival;

the return of ballet as a regular part of the Orchestra’s presentations, featuring

performances by Th e Joff rey Ballet; the 2012-13 season featured the Orchestra’s fi rst

fully staged performances of Tchaikovsky’s Th e Nutcracker.

Th e Cleveland Orchestra was founded in 1918 by a group of local citizens in-

tent on creating an ensemble worthy of joining America’s ranks of major sympho-

ny orchestras. Over the ensuing decades, the Orchestra quickly grew from a fi ne

regional organization to being one of the most admired symphony orchestras in

the world. Th e opening in 1931 of Severance Hall as the Orchestra’s home brought

a special pride to the ensemble and its hometown, as well as providing an enviable

and intimate acoustic environment in which to develop and refi ne the Orchestra’s

artistry. Year-round performances became a reality in 1968 with the opening of

Blossom Music Center, one of the most beautiful and acoustically admired outdoor

concert facilities in the United States.

Franz Welser-Möst Music Director Kelvin Smith Family Endowed Chair The Cleveland Orchestra

T H E 2 01 2 -1 3 S E A S O N marks Franz Welser-Möst’s

eleventh year as music director of Th e Cleveland

Orchestra, with a long-term commitment extend-

ing to the Orchestra’s centennial in 2018. Under his

direction, the Orchestra is acclaimed for its continu-

ing artistic excellence, is enlarging and enhancing its

community programming at home, is presented in a

series of ongoing residencies in the United States and

Europe, continues its historic championship of new

composers through commissions and premieres, and

has re-established itself as an important operatic en-

semble. Concurrently with his post in Cleveland, Mr. Welser-Möst became

general music director of the Vienna State Opera in September 2010.

With a committed focus on music education in Northeast Ohio, Franz

Welser-Möst has taken Th e Cleveland Orchestra back into public schools with

performances in collaboration with the Cleveland Metropolitan School District.

Th e initiative continues and expands upon Mr. Welser-Möst’s active participation

in community concerts and educational programs, including the Cleveland Orches-

tra Youth Orchestra and partnerships with music conservatories and universities

across Northeast Ohio.

Under Mr. Welser-Möst’s leadership, Th e Cleveland Orchestra has established

an ongoing biennial residency in Vienna at the famed Musikverein concert hall and

another at Switzerland’s Lucerne Festival. Together, they have appeared in residence

at Suntory Hall in Tokyo, Japan, and at the Salzburg Festival, where a 2008 residency

included fi ve sold-out performances of a staged production of Dvořák’s opera Rusalka.

In the United States, Mr. Welser-Möst has established an annual multi-week Cleveland

Orch estra residency in Florida under the name Cleveland Orchestra Miami and, in

2011, launched a new biennial residency at New York’s Lincoln Center Festival.

To the start of this season, Th e Cleveland Orchestra has performed fourteen

world and fi ft een United States premieres under Franz Welser-Möst’s direction.

Th rough the Roche Commissions project, he and the Orchestra have premiered

works by Harrison Birtwistle, Chen Yi, Hanspeter Kyburz, George Benjamin,

Toshio Hosokawa, and Matthias Pintscher in partnership with the Lucerne Festi-

val and Carnegie Hall. In addition, the Daniel R. Lewis Young Composer Fellow

program has brought new voices to the repertoire, including Pintscher, Marc-An-

dré Dalbavie, Susan Botti, Julian Anderson, Johannes Maria Staud, Jörg Widmann,

and Sean Shepherd.

Franz Welser-Möst has led a series of opera performances during his tenure

in Cleveland, re-establishing the Orchestra as an important oper-

atic ensemble. Following six seasons of opera-in-concert presen-

tations, he brought fully staged opera back to Severance Hall with

a three-season cycle of Zurich Opera productions of the Mozart-

Da Ponte operas. He led concert performances of Strauss’s Sa-

lome at Severance Hall and at Carnegie Hall in May 2012.

Franz Welser-Möst became general music director of the

Vienna State Opera in 2010. His long partnership with the com-

pany has included acclaimed performances of Tristan and Isolde,

a new production of Wagner’s Ring cycle with stage director Sven-

Eric Bechtolf, and critically praised new productions of Hin-

demith’s Cardillac and Janáček’s Katya Kabanova and From the

House of the Dead. During the 2012-13 season, his Vienna performances include

Wagner’s Parsifal, Strauss’s Arabella and Ariadne auf Naxos, Puccini’s La Bohème,

and Berg’s Wozzeck.

Mr. Welser-Möst also maintains an ongoing relationship with the Vienna Phil-

harmonic. Recent performances with the Philharmonic include appearances at the

Lucerne Festival and Salzburg Festival, in Tokyo, and in concert at La Scala Milan,

as well as leading the Philharmonic’s 2011 New Year’s Day concert, viewed by telecast

in seventy countries worldwide; he conducted the New Year’s Day concert again at

the start of 2013 and also leads the Philharmonic in a series of concerts at New York’s

Carnegie Hall in March 2013. Across a decade-long tenure with the Zurich Opera,

culminating in three seasons as general music director (2005-08), Mr. Welser-Möst

led the company in more than 40 new productions and numerous revivals.

Franz Welser-Möst’s recordings and videos have won major awards, including

the Gramophone Award, Diapason d’Or, Japanese Record Academy Award, and

two Grammy nominations. With Th e Cleveland Orchestra, he has created DVD

recordings of live performances of Bruckner symphonies, presented in three ac-

coustically distinctive venues (the Abbey of St. Florian in Austria, Vienna’s Musik-

verein, and Severance Hall). With Cleveland, he has also released a recording of

Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony as well as an all-Wagner album featuring soprano

Measha Brueggergosman. DVD releases on the EMI label have included Mr. Wels-

er-Möst leading Zurich Opera productions of Th e Marriage of Figaro, Così fan tutte,

Don Giovanni, Der Rosenkavalier, Fierrabras, and Peter Grimes.

For his talents and dedication, Mr. Welser-Möst has received honors that

include recognition from the Western Law Center for Disability Rights, honor-

ary membership in the Vienna Singverein, appointment as an Academician of the

European Academy of Yuste, a Gold Medal from the Upper Austrian government

for his work as a cultural ambassador, a Decoration of Honor from the Republic of

Austria for his artistic achievements, and the Kilenyi Medal from the Bruckner So-

ciety of America. He is the co-author of Cadences: Observations and Conversations,

published in a German edition in 2007.

2013 New Year’s Day concert with Franz Welser-Möst and Vienna Philharmonic recordings now available Sony Classical has announced the release

of the newest edition of one of the world’s

most famous classical music events — the

Vienna Philharmonic’s annual New Year’s Con-

cert from 2013. Franz Welser-Möst returned to

direct the 2013 concert following the success

of his debut in 2011.

The live recording became available on

January 4, exclusively at Arkiv Music and via

Amazon.com’s CreateSpace’s Disc on Demand

service as a CD, or as a download through all

major digital service providers. The CD version is

being released to other retailers on January 22,

with the DVD version following in February.

The New Year’s Concert of the Vienna

Philharmonic is firmly established as one of

the longest-standing and most prestigious

music events worldwide. In its history of more

than seven decades, the concert has been led

by many of the most famous conductors and

experienced by millions of people via televi-

sion broadcasts in over 70 countries.

In announcing the recordings, Clemens

Hellsberg, chairman of the Vienna Philhar-

monic, emphasized the plaudits that Franz

Welser-Möst earned for this event in 2011 and

his close association with the musical life of

Vienna as general music director of the State

Opera, making made him a natural choice to

encore his role for New Year’s.

For seven decades, the Vienna Philhar-

monic has presented this entertaining and

heartfelt annual New Year’s program, featur-

ing music from across the wide repertoire

created by the Johann Strauss family dynasty

and their contemporaries. The proven formula

blends well-known classics with premieres of

works that have never been performed before

at the New Year’s Concert. This year’s program

included eleven premieres (more than ever

before) and also paid tribute to Wagner and

Verdi, looking to the bicentennials this spring

of their births.

Welser-Möst advocates for art and culture with keynote address in Vienna At the end of November, Franz Welser-

Möst delivered an impassioned keynote ad-

dress on the importance of supporting and

expanding a vibrant, multi-national cultural

life in modern society during a gala celebrat-

ing the Bicentennial of Vienna’s famed con-

cert hall, the Musikverein.

The event was held in the Brahmssaal

of the Musikverein and also featured re-

marks from Austria’s president, minister of

culture, and culture secretary, along with the

Musikverein’s president and intendant. The

event was held prior to a concert conducted

by Nikolaus Harnoncourt.

Welser-Möst’s speech addressed funda-

mental questions about how to champion

and renew culture in a world that too often

marginalizes these essential elements in fa-

vor of maintaining health and welfare.

“Cultivation, which must be one of the foun-

dations of any society, requires creativity,”

said Welser-Möst. “We must give this more

thought, to formulate new dreams and set

new goals — to aim for the impossible, both

for ourselves and for coming generations,

and to perhaps come just a bit closer to pre-

cisely that which we will never achieve. Any

person who wants to accomplish something

special does precisely this, by declaring the

impossible to be the goal.”

All labor that uplifts

humanity has dignity and

importance and should be

undertaken with painstak-

ing excellence.

—Martin Luther King Jr.

Film on January 16 at CMA traces story of violin that Joshua Bell plays next week A special showing

of the film “The Return

of the Violin” takes place

next week on Wednes-

day, January 16, at the

Cleveland Museum of

Art’s Gartner Auditorium

(11150 East Blvd). This

Israeli documentary fol-

lows the story of a 1731

Stradivarius violin now

owned by Joshua Bell,

who will be in town to perform with The Cleve-

land Orchestra January 17-19. Bell will attend

the film showing.

The violin, once owned by Israel Phil-

harmonic founder Bronislaw Huberman, was

stolen in 1936 while Huberman was perform-

ing at Carnegie Hall. It remained lost for nearly

fifty years, and was then rediscovered in 1985,

covered with shoe polish. After its return to

Lloyd’s of London, a meticulous restoration

process, and the sale to an English violinist, the

violin was put up for sale as a museum piece in

2001. Not willing to allow such an instrument

remain silent, Joshua Bell purchased the Hu-

berman Stradivarius and uses it in many of his

performances.

Introducing the Program

I N T R O D U C I N G T H E P R O G R A M

Message,Music&IdeasA M O N G T H E G R E AT P L E A S U R E S of music is its sheer variety —

of sounds, of mood, of melody, rhythm, and intent. One performer

or many. Chamber music, rock band, jazz riff, or live symphony

orchestra. It can uplift us when we are low, refine our melancholy to a

mellow sense of resignation, or amplify our feelings when we are exu-

berant, nostalgic, or spot on.

This week’s concerts feature three works that

make very suitable soundtracks for the lives of these

three very different composers.

Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 2, from 1880,

displays fireworks, bravado, and well-crafted beauty in

equal measure. While infrequently performed com-

pared to the famous First Piano Concerto, this

work, through its lack of familiarity, can offer

an even stronger sense of this composer’s great-

est strengths. Here, Tchaikovsky’s building

blocks are more easily discerned, but no less

equally enjoyed.

By contrast, Shostakovich’s Tenth Sympho-

ny from 1953 is a piece both harder to under-

stand and more difficult to dismiss. It features

passages of great beauty, mixed with irony,

angst, and episodic celebration. The composer’s enig-

matic view of life’s uncertainties in the Soviet Union

— and his role as a musician for the people of his

homeland — can be pondered, but never known. It is

clearly one of the 20th century’s greatest symphonies,

but the meaning of this music is, ultimately, a very

personal choice, for composer and listener alike.

And, for the audience at this week’s Friday Morning Concert, two

joyful tone poems by Bedřich Smetana take the place of Shostakovich’s

darker dealings. Here, the composer’s Czech homeland is celebrated in

music without reservation. —Eric Sellen

S M E TA N A W R O T E the six parts of his symphonic cycle Má

Vlast (“My Country” or “My Homeland”) just as he reached

the age of fi ft y, when fame and fortune were knocking regularly

on his door. And just when sudden deafness created a nearly

irreconcilable gulf between himself and the everyday world

around him. Th ese tone poems were, perhaps in part, a way

for the composer to recapture and hold onto the sounds of the

world around him — encapsulating in music the joy and emo-

tion in life and living.

Smetana originally conceived the cycle as a four-part sym-

phony that would extol the glories of his native Bohemia and

its Czech people. Only aft er the initial success of its opening

movements, each premiered separately, did he decide to “com-

plete” the work by adding two fi nal sections, for a total of six

symphonic poems. Th e entire series was fi rst performed to-

gether as a cycle on November 5, 1882. Since 1952, it has been

the traditional opening concert for the “Prague Spring Festival,”

performed annually on the anniversary of Smetana’s death each

May 12th.

As with Beethoven, Smetana’s deafness did not end his

creative eff orts — most of Má Vlast was penned in newfound

silence. But whereas Beethoven’s hearing faded gradually over

a number of years, and left him with small amounts of aural

sensation, Smetana’s came on later in life, very suddenly, and

quite completely. Deafness, in fact, removed him so quickly

and entirely from the world he thought he knew that only mu-

sic kept him sane — and only for a while.

In a matter of weeks, from mid-summer into September

1874, Smetana’s hearing faded quickly and almost totally. Of

necessity, he was forced to resign his administrative and con-

ducting duties at the opera. And perhaps largely to confront

his rushing deafness, Smetana began heated work on the sym-

phonic poems he had been thinking about for several years,

completing fi rst the sketches for Vyšehrad (Part One) he had

created two years earlier and then composing all of Th e Moldau

during three weeks in November.

In January 1875, he continued with the third part, Šárka,

which he fi nished by the end of February. He intended, at this

point, to create a four-part cycle of poems not unlike a traditional

four-movement symphony, with the fourth depicting “Czech

life in song and dance.” Th is became From Bohemia’s Forests

and Fields [“Z českých luhů a hájů” in the original Czech].

Part Two: THE MOLDAU [Vltava]

Th e main musical theme of Th e Moldau is today a popular

Czech folksong. It was not, however, a Czech song when Smetana

borrowed it. Smetana had, in fact, oft en voiced violent opposition

to the idea of adopting true folksong melodies into the national

musical language he was trying to create. His borrowing, in this

case, reached quite far geographically, when he adapted (perhaps

subconsciously) a folk melody he had heard while teaching for

a number of years in Sweden as a young man. (Dvořák crossed

much the same path and controversy with some of the adapted

borrowings within his “New World” Symphony.)

Smetana’s words about this tone poem clearly lay out the

river’s migration from mountain spring through Bohemia to-

ward the sea: “Two springs pour forth in the shade of the Bohe-

mian Forest, one warm and gushing, the other cold and peaceful.

Th eir waves fl ow quickly over rocky beds, joining together and

glistening in the morning sun. Th e forest brook, hastening on,

becomes the river Moldau. Coursing through Bohemia’s valleys,

it grows into a mighty stream. Th rough thick woods it fl ows,

as the triumphant sounds of the hunt and the notes of hunters’

horns are heard ever nearer. It fl ows through grass-grown pas-

tures and lowlands where a wedding feast is being celebrated in

song and dance. At night, wood and water nymphs revel in its

sparkling waves. Refl ected on its surface are fortresses and castles

— witnesses to bygone days of knightly splendor and the van-

ished glory of fi ghting times. At the St. John Rapids, the stream

races ahead, winding through the cataracts, hewing out a path

with its foaming waves through the rocky chasm into the broad

riverbed — fi nally, fl owing on in majestic peace toward Prague

and welcomed by the time-honored castle Vyšehrad [Smetana

encores the castle’s musical motif from the fi rst tone poem of

the cycle]. Th en it vanishes beyond our gaze.”

A personal note: I have vivid memories from childhood

of waking on Sunday mornings to hear the swift -running cur-

rent of the River Moldau fl owing mightily past my bedroom

door. It was Smetana’s music, of course, from an oft -played re-

About the Music

41Severance Hall 2012-13 About the Music

Smetana fi rst talked about

writing a musical work

depicting the river Moldau

in 1867. Five years later, he

made some sketches related

to two “symphonic poems,”

one about the river and one

about the fortress Vyšehrad.

He completed these two in

1874, after suffering profound

hearing loss that summer. He

wrote Šárka in early 1875,

and the fourth poem, From

Bohemia’s Forests and Fields,

later that year. Each piece

was premiered separately in

Prague, between March 1875

and March 1877. Smetana

created two additional move-

ments for the cycle in 1878-79;

they were then premiered in

1880. The entire Má Vlast

was fi rst performed together

on November 5, 1882.

Parts Two and Four

— The Moldau and From

Bohemia’s Forests and Fields

— together run about 20

minutes in performances.

Smetana scored them for

an orchestra of 2 fl utes and

piccolo, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets,

2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2

trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba,

timpani, percussion (triangle,

cymbals, bass drum), harp (in

cording (by Th e Cleveland Orchestra) cherished by my father.

He oft en chose to wake us on Sundays by playing music — of

a vastly eclectic range. But the watery sounds of the Moldau

were among my favorite, both for the realism of the river itself

and for the long, over-arching crescendo that turns little stream

(barely awake) into mighty river (time for breakfast).

Part Four: FROM BOHEMIA’S FORESTS AND FIELDS

In From Bohemia’s Forests and Fields, aft er painting por-

traits in the fi rst movements of the country’s greatest fortress, its

national river, and one of its fi ercest historical heroes, Smetana

wrote a musical ode to the common countryside fi lled with av-

erage villages, verdant greenery, and everyday beauty.

Of this music, Smetana wrote: “Th is symphonic poem

broadly characterizes the thoughts and feelings that well within

us as we survey the Bohemian landscape. From every direction,

fervent song comes to our ears; every grove and all the fl owered

meadows sing their melodies, both cheerful and melancholy. All

have something to say: the deep, dark forests (horn solos) and

the sunny, fertile plains along the Elbe River, and all the other

parts of the rich and beautiful land of Bohemia.” While not as

specifi cally programmatic as other parts of the cycle, this fi nely-

etched tone painting evokes some of the feelings that nature

can inspire and, like Beethoven’s Sixth Symphony, is diffi cult

to resist in its at times gentle sincerity.

Epilog: MÁ VLAST

Th e success of his fi rst four parts encouraged Smetana to

write two more, creating a total of six movements to Má Vlast.

Th ese were fi rst performed as a cycle in November 1882, to great

acclaim and rejoicing. Th e two movements being presented

at this morning’s Cleveland Orchestra concert provide a clear

and pleasing view of Smetana’s love for his country — and his

enduring ability to paint Czech themes in music.

Piano Concerto No. 2 in G major, Opus 44composed 1879-80

W I T H I T S U N F O R G E T TA B L E opening theme and the piano’s

widespread chords, Tchaikovsky’s First Piano Concerto is al-

ways going to remain a favorite concert piece for those who

love the eternal battle between a full symphony orchestra and

the mighty concert grand.

But his Second Piano Concerto should not be overlooked,

not least because Tchaikovsky himself was very fond of it and

because it displays the same richness of themes and barnstorm-

ing virtuosity that we expect from his best works. It is typically

Russian in its brazen emotional quality and its determination to

extract every last ounce from the eighty-eight black and white

keys — and the pianist’s mere ten fi ngers.

It comes, too, from a fertile period of the composer’s life.

Th e disaster of Tchaikovsky’s marriage in 1877 brought on

the extraordinary combination of nervous collapse and inspi-

rational fecundity. Some of his best music came out of those

anxiety-ridden months, while he moved from city to city in

restless agitation. From then onward, he would never spend

much time at home in Moscow without longing to be away in

the country, or away out of the country, in Paris or Switzerland

or Rome. Th e opera Eugene Onegin, the Fourth Symphony, and

the Violin Concerto were all composed in these extraordinary

circumstances, all masterpieces of undying appeal.

Th e Second Piano Concerto followed soon aft er, in the au-

tumn of 1879, also written on the move, as it were, as he packed

his bags and left Moscow for his sister’s home in Kamenka, then

Paris, then Rome, then St. Petersburg. Tchaikovsky had given

up teaching at the Moscow Conservatory, which he had never

really enjoyed, and having just completed his opera Th e Maid

of Orleans had promised himself a rest. But he was never able

to suppress the urge to work and would rise early in the morn-

ing, wherever he happened to be, and sit at his desk pouring

delicious cascades of notes onto paper.

As was usually the case, Tchaikovsky felt very pleased with

the work as it took shape and pronounced himself completely

satisfi ed when it was done. Th is pattern oft en took the form of

him turning against a piece once it receded from the compo-

sitional moment, entered the process of performance and pub-

lication, and faced the hurdle of public criticism. He was very

severe on the Fourth Symphony, for example, sometime aft er

it was composed. In the case of the Second Piano Concerto,

however, he went on liking it and stood up in its defense when

one of his students, Alexander Siloti, proposed some cuts and

adjustments. Siloti was one of the many great Russian pianists

who came out of the Moscow Conservatory under the guidance

of its founder and director, Nikolai Rubinstein. Rubinstein was

a good friend to Tchaikovsky, had given him his fi rst job and

taken him into his house. Rubinstein was also, like his brother

Anton, one of the great piano virtuosos of the 19th century.

Rubinstein is part of the story of the Second Piano Con-

certo, because he had reacted very curtly to the First Piano

Concerto and refused to play it, to Tchaikovsky’s dismay. Th e

friendship remained intact, however, and the composer hoped

that this time Rubinstein would not only like the new concerto

but play it. If anything, the Second Concerto is harder for the

soloist than the First. Th e hope was never put to the test, for

Rubinstein died at the age of 45 in Paris early in 1881. Tchai-

kovsky still dedicated the score to him, and Tchaikovsky’s next

work, an immense piano trio, was dedicated to his memory.

Th e fi rst performance of the Second Piano Concerto was

given in November 1881 in New York, thanks to the enterprising

programming of the conductor Th eodore Th omas, always alert to

the latest music coming from Europe and Russia. He conducted

the performance with the German-trained English pianist Mad-

eline Schiller, obviously the possessor of a formidable technique.

Th e fi rst performance in Moscow was given by another brilliant

Moscow pianist, Sergei Taneyev, in May 1882.

T H E M U S I C

Of the concerto’s three sections, the fi rst movement is

much the longest, thanks to a number of episodes where the

pianist expands on a theme at considerable length while the

orchestra looks on. Sometimes these passages are close to be-

ing free cadenzas. Th e range of themes and keys is wide, and

silences oft en mark the points where episodes begin and end

— a habit which made Tchaikovsky confess that he could never

really disguise the seams in the fabric of his music. His unique

gift for building tension by pushing the upper voices higher and

higher, oft en with the bass notes going in the opposite direc-

tion, is particularly well displayed in this movement.

Aft er a somber opening, the slow second movement,

Tchaikovsky wrote his Piano

Concerto No. 2 in 1879-80. It

was fi rst performed on No-

vember 12, 1881, in New York

City, with Theodore Thomas

conducting the New York

Philharmonic, with Madeline

Schiller at the piano. The

composer dedicated the score

to Nikolai Rubinstein.

This concerto runs

about 30-35 minutes in

performance. Tchaikovsky

scored it for 2 fl utes, 2 oboes,

2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4

horns, 2 trumpets, timpani,

and strings. The edition used

for this week’s concerts is a

version edited by Alexander

Siloti, which shortened some

passages and sections from

Tchaikovsky’s original.

The Cleveland Orchestra

fi rst played Tchaikovsky’s

Second Piano Concerto in Feb-

ruary 1968, when Louis Lane

led performances with soloist

Gary Graffman, at Severance

Hall and at Oberlin College

and Marshall University. The

Orchestra has presented this

concerto on only three subse-

quent programs, at concerts

at Severance Hall in January

and February 1991 and as

part of the 1972 and 1993

At a Glance


in which the winds play little part, brings forward a solo violin and a

solo cello, making a chamber music unit of very satisfying character

(although some of this has been shortened in the score edition by Al-

exander Siloti being performed on this weekend’s Cleveland Orchestra

concerts). As always, Tchaikovsky’s melodic gift is exhibited to the full,

yet the ending feels somewhat disturbed, with a lone trumpet entering

as if from afar.

Th e third movement fi nale is a knuckle-buster for the pianist, who

is given almost no rest. Th e tunes pour out and the excitement builds

at the end in the same manner as in the First Piano Concerto. (Surely

Nikolai Rubinstein would have found this music hard to resist.)

E P I L O G

In the last year of his life, Tchaikovsky embarked on a third piano

concerto, but was unhappy with it aft er completing only one movement.

Its history is entangled with ideas for another symphony, sometimes

referred to as the mythical “Seventh,” which was also left in sketch

form. Attempts to reconstruct both symphony and concerto founder

on material that Tchaikovsky himself obviously felt unhappy about, so

that most modern performances of the “next concerto” have to settle

for one movement only.—Hugh Macdonald © 2013

Garrick OhlssonSince winning the 1970 Chopin International Piano Competition, American pia-

nist Garrick Ohlsson has established himself worldwide as a musician of inter-

pretive and technical prowess. He made his Cleveland Orchestra debut in March

1975, and most recently appeared with the Orchestra in

October 2010.

A native of White Plains, New York, Garrick Ohls-

son began piano studies at age 8, attended the Westches-

ter Conservatory of Music, and at 13 entered the Juilliard

School. His teachers include Claudio Arrau, Olga Barabini,

Sascha Gorodnitzki, Rosina Lhévinne, Tom Lishman, and

Irma Wolpe. Among Mr. Ohlsson’s honors are fi rst prizes

at the 1966 Busoni Competition and 1968 Montreal Piano

Competition, the 1994 Avery Fisher Prize, and the 1998

University Musical Society Distinguished Artist Award in

Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Regarded as a leading exponent of Chopin, Mr. Ohls-

son performed in celebrations of the bicentenary of Cho-

pin’s birthday in 2010, including a gala concert at Chopin’s birth house in Warsaw

and all-Chopin recitals in Berkeley, La Jolla, New York, and Seattle. For the bi-

centenary of Franz Liszt’s birth last season, Garrick Ohlsson played recitals in

Chicago, Hong Kong, London, and New York.

Garrick Ohlsson commands a repertoire of some eighty concertos. He has

appeared as soloist with orchestras throughout the world, including the Deutsche

Symphony Berlin, Czech Philharmonic, Halle Orchestra, Russian National Or-

chestra, Salzburg Mozarteum, Sydney Symphony, and Warsaw Philharmonic,

among many others. In recent seasons, his engagements in this country have in-

cluded concerts with the orchestras of Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Dallas, Hous-

ton, New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, and San Francisco.

In recital, Mr. Ohlsson has presented the music of Scriabin and the compos-

er’s Russian contemporaries in the United States and Europe, and the complete

Beethoven piano sonatas at the Ravinia, Tanglewood, and Verbier festivals.

As a chamber musician, Garrick Ohlsson’s performances have included

collaborations with the Cleveland, Emerson, Takács, and Tokyo string quartets.

Along with violinist Jorja Fleezanis and cellist Michael Grebanier, Mr. Ohlsson is

a founding member of the San Francisco-based FOG Trio.

A prolifi c recording artist, Garrick Ohlsson can be heard on the Angel, Ara-

besque, BMG, Delos, Hänssler, Hyperion, Nonesuch, RCA Victor Red Seal, Te-

larc, and Virgin Classics labels. One of his ten Bridge Records recordings of the

complete Beethoven sonatas was granted a Grammy Award.

SHOS TAKOVICH made it known publicly that he composed the

great Tenth Symphony in the months following Stalin’s death,

which took place on March 5, 1953 (the same day as Prokofi ev’s

death). It is clear to us now, however, and was probably clear

to many of his friends then, that he had been working on the

symphony for several years — and that it was written under the

shadow of events in January 1948 when Andrei Zhdanov, the

politburo member with responsibility for the arts, led a purge

on Soviet musicians, with Shostakovich as the main target. An

important group of composers, which included both Shosta-

kovich and Prokofi ev, were singled out for their sins against

the ideals of Soviet music and in particular for “formalism,” the

recurrent catch-all accusation that had been heard in offi cial

pronouncements throughout the Stalinist era.

Of course all music is formal, and so, in a sense, it must

also be “formalist.” In this case, the State required music to serve

a political purpose, and that could only be done with words or

a message conveyed in song or on screen or even with just an

appropriate title. “Symphony” or “Concerto” or “String Quar-

tet” were vague and inadequate titles for the purpose — and

thus open to condemnation not simply for not supporting the

offi cial line but actually for subverting it.

At the moment when the purge occurred, Shostakovich

was engaged in composing a violin concerto written in admi-

ration of the playing of David Oistrakh. He continued writing

the concerto, but only in secret, and it could not be performed.

Shostakovich turned to fi lm music and choral works instead, as

his sole means of retaining recognition as a composer. But in

private, he was also working on string quartets and on a suc-

cessor to the Ninth Symphony of 1945. Sketches for the Tenth

in fact go back as early as 1946, and there is evidence that he

was working on it in 1951.

Th e year 1953 — and Stalin’s death — thus released the

backlog of music that had been waiting to be brought out in

public. Th e Violin Concerto was not ready until 1955, but the

Fourth and Fift h String Quartets were heard toward the end of

1953, along with the Tenth Symphony, presented on December 17

by the Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra under Shostakovich’s

leading interpreter of the day, Yevgeny Mravinsky. Th e Tenth

was soon acclaimed in the West as one of the composer’s ma-

jor works. International recognition of Shostakovich as a lead-

ing living composer dated back to his First Symphony in 1925,

but Shostakovich’s standing across the West was reenforced by

new works in the 1950s and for the last twenty

years of his life. His writing was widely appre-

ciated as a counterblast to the craze for serial

and atonal music that gripped many young

composers, especially in the United States.

Interpreting the Tenth Symphony, as with

any work by Shostakovich, presents immense

problems. From his many years grappling with

offi cialdom, he had learned to dissemble and

mask his true feelings about what he created.

In addition, he was a very private, not to say

inscrutable, individual.

All these circumstances allow us to adopt

almost any view of his work, but without any

certainty that our view will coincide with his.

Th e layers of irony are deep. What seem to be

depictions of misery or horror may be nothing

of the kind. Th e hollow hymns of triumph may not be hollow.

He was indeed a “formalist” composer, deeply concerned with

the structure and shape of his music, always looking for new

ways to insert contrast or its opposite, hinting at references that

may be decoys, and extracting veins of gold from the traditional

large orchestra.

example, is the fi rst to join the strings’ opening meditations, and

a low fl ute is the fi rst to present an important new theme later on.

Two lonely piccolos are heard at the close. Th e music is in no hurry.

Twice the music rises to fearsome climaxes, fed on the frightening

rap of the snare drum and the weight of the full brass.

Th e raw energy of the second movement is unrivaled in

20th-century music, like a runaway train. Is it exultation or

fury? It’s hard to say. Over the wild gambols of the rest, the

brass occasionally stamp out what sounds like an Orthodox

Russian chant. What can that mean?

Th e relaxed air of the third movement is more than wel-

come, and it becomes more personal when Shostakovich gradu-

ally hones in on his personal signature, the D-S-C-H motif that

permeated a number of his later works. Th is was created from

the way his name is spelled in German, as Dmitrij SCHosta-

kowitsch, and the fact that in German the note of E-fl at is “Es”

(and thus S) and B-natural is H:

Another prominent tune that keeps recurring on the horn seems

planets away from the tone and color of the movement. Th is too

has been shown to have an explanation as ELMIRA, the name of

one of his female students, although, as before, the signifi cance

of her intrusion in the symphony is a mystery:

Th e movement concludes with what sounds like a corny brass

band playing loose with D-S-C-H, as if in mockery.

Before the true fi nale begins, there is a thoughtful introduc-

tion featuring oboe and bassoon and casting a veil of mystery.

Th is is dispelled in the exuberant fourth movement Allegro,

whose climax is a triumphant writing-on-the-wall of the let-

ters D-S-C-H. Triumph or cataclysm? It could be either. It is

certainly an exhilarating musical experience whatever we read

into its meaning.—Hugh Macdonald © 2013

Shostakovich composed his

Tenth Symphony during the

summer and autumn of 1953,

although some thematic

material may date from the

previous two years. It was

premiered in Leningrad on

December 17, 1953, by the

Leningrad Philharmonic

Orchestra conducted by

Yevgeny Mravinsky. The fi rst

United States performance

took place on October 14,

1954, with the New York

Philharmonic under Dimitri

Mitropoulos’s direction.

This symphony runs just

over 50 minutes in perfor-

mance. Shostakovich scored

it for 3 fl utes (second and

third doubling piccolo), 3

oboes (third doubling english

horn), 3 clarinets (third

doubling bass clarinet), 3

bassoons (third doubling

contrabassoon), 4 horns, 3

trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba,

timpani, percussion (snare

drum, bass drum, cymbals,

tam-tam, triangle, tambou-

rine, xylophone), and strings.


fi rst performed Shostako-

vich’s Tenth Symphony in

December 1967 under David

Oistrakh’s direction. The

most recent performances

were given as part of the

2011 Blossom Music Festival,

led by David Afkham, and

in November 2007 at Sever-

ance Hall, under the baton of

Pinchas Steinberg.

El Sistema@Rainey performing at Severance Hall. The initiative is an intensive after-school orchestral music program launched in September 2011 by Cleveland Orchestra violinist Isabel Trautwein and Cleveland’s Rainey Institute. Modeled after the national Venezuelan program El Sistema (“the system”), the initiative emphasizes community-based orchestra training from a young age, with a focus on making music fun and inspiring young musicians with a passion for music and for life. The Cleveland Orchestra and education partner Conn-Selmer are the offi cial providers of instruments for the El Sistema@Rainey program, with instrument support from Royalton Music for El Sistema@Rainey Summer Camp.

Meet Margaret MitchellCleveland Orchestra Heritage Society Co-Chair, member, and Heritage Society ambassador on WCLV

How many years have you been attending Orchestra concerts?Bill and I have been going to Orchestra concerts ever

since we were married and came to Cleveland — sixty

years. We spent many family summer evenings at Blos-

som when our children were young.

Your favorite composer?I really love the ability of the Orchestra to play any music

well, so I have to say I like whatever the Orchestra plays.

But Mahler and Bruckner are classical favorites; Ives and

Adams, among more recent composers.

Your most memorable concerts?Because of the different venues, Dvořák’s “New World”

Symphony in old Lucerne; Shostakovich in Miami. Proko-

fiev’s Fifth Symphony — the final movement encore in the

Canary Islands. It’s difficult to pick out a favorite at Severance. I love most all of them.

And, in Margaret’s own words, from her WCLV invitation to Orchestra lovers everywhere . . .

Bill and I think The Cleveland Orchestra makes Cleveland a great place to live.

— the superb concerts.

— the talented orchestra musicians who contribute much to our community

and represent us so well around the world.

— the education programs building future audiences.

These are some of the reasons we created a planned gift, securing lifelong income

for us. It also makes sense for the Orchestra, helping to build the endowment.

We want The Cleveland Orchestra that we love to enrich the lives of our children

and grandchildren as it has for us. With your own planned gift, please join us

as proud members of the Heritage Society.

For information on membership in the Heritage Society,

The Cleveland Orchestra’s catalog of recordings

continues to grow. The newest DVD features Bruckner’s

Eighth Symphony recorded live at Severance Hall under

the direction of Music Director Franz Welser-Möst in 2010

and released in May 2011. And, released in

2012, Dvořák’s opera Rusalka on CD, recorded

live at the Salzburg Festival. Writing of the

Rusalka performances, the reviewer for

London’s Sunday Times praised the perform -

ance as “the most spellbinding account

of Dvořák’s miraculous score I have ever

heard, either in the theatre or on record.

. . . I doubt this music can be better played than by the

Clevelanders, the most ‘European’ of the American or-

chestras, with wind and brass soloists to die for and a

string sound of superlative warmth and sensitivity.”

Other recordings released in recent years

include two under the baton of Pierre Boulez

and a third album of Mozart piano concertos

with Mitsuko Uchida, whose fi rst Cleveland

Orchestra Mozart album won a Grammy Award

in 2011.

H A I L E D A S O N E O F the world’s most

beautiful concert halls, Severance Hall

has been home to Th e Cleveland Or-

chestra since its opening on February 5,

1931. Aft er that fi rst concert, a Cleve-

land newspaper editorial stated: “We

believe that Mr. Severance intended

to build a temple to music, and not a

temple to wealth; and we believe it is his

intention that all music lovers should be

welcome there.” John Long Severance

(president of the Musical Arts Associa-

tion, 1921-1936) and his wife, Elisabeth,

donated most of the funds necessary to

erect this magnifi cent building. De-

signed by Walker & Weeks, its elegant

Georgian exterior was constructed to

harmonize with the classical architec-

ture of other prominent buildings in

the University Circle area. Th e interior

of the building refl ects a combination

of design styles, including Art Deco,

Egyptian Revival, Classicism, and Mod-

ernism. An extensive renovation, resto-

ration, and expansion of the facility was

completed in January 2000. In addition

to serving as the home of Th e Cleveland

Orchestra for concerts and rehearsals,

the building is rented by a wide variety

of local organizations and private citi-

zens for performances, meetings, and

gala events each year.
