November 2012

Welcome to Severance Hall! Everyone in The Cleveland Orchestra

family is pleased that you are here with us today.

As you look around at your fellow audience members, there’s an in-

creasing chance that you will see young people, especially students

from some of Northeast Ohio’s many educational institutions.

Two years ago, we established the Center for Future Audiences to fund programs to

develop new generations of audiences for Cleveland Orchestra concerts in Northeast

Ohio. The Center was created with a $20 million lead endowment gift from the Maltz

Family Foundation. Our objective is to have one of youngest audiences of any sym-

phony orch estra in the country.

Since the beginning of this season, we have made huge strides toward that ambitious

goal. In fact, the number of students attending Cleveland Orchestra concerts at Sever-

ance Hall has more than doubled over the same period last year. This year, we’ve had

an average of more than 200 students at every evening subscription concert — on

some nights, students have represented more than 20% of the crowd.

This surge in student attendance is a result of the programs supported by the Center

for Future Audiences, especially those funded by a $5 million endowment gift from

Alexander and Sarah Cutler to encourage student attendance.

We have a number of initiatives and promotions to attract students to Severance Hall.

Two stand out: The introduction this season of a Student Frequent FanCard, which gives

students fl exibility and encourages frequency of attendance. Equally important, is our

network of a dozen student ambassadors, representing fi ve area colleges, who vol-

unteer their time promoting student concertgoing and helping to create a vital social

media presence around The Cleveland Orchestra.

Our commitment to student attendance and a younger audience is part of a Cleveland

Orchestra renaissance, as we commit to being ever more relevant to our hometown

and ever more devoted to community service.

Orchestra Gala 2012

Our annual fundraising Gala was held on Saturday, November 3, to raise funds in

support of the Orchestra’s Education and Community Programs. Featuring The Cleve-

land Orchestra and virtuoso cellist Yo-Yo Ma, the event attracted a full house, including

more than 400 generous donors who enjoyed a pre-concert reception and a wonder-

ful post-concert dinner. The magical evening, which yielded almost $700,000, owes

much to the leadership of Gala Chair Norma Lerner and Corporate Chair Beth Mooney.

Please join me in thanking our chairs, along with the evening’s major sponsors, Key-

Bank, The Lerner Foundation, and Audrey and Albert Ratner.

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

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 artis-

tic 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);

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

ami, involving an annual series of concerts and community activities, cou-

pled with an expansive set of educational presentations and collaborations

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 will conduct the New Year’s Day concert again in

2013 and will also lead the Philharmonic in a series of concerts at New York’s Carne-

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

nating 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.

Cleveland Orchestra News

Tickets are selling fast for the holiday event of the

season, Th e Cleveland Orchestra’s presentation of Th e

Joff rey Ballet’s complete silver anniversary production

of Tchaikovsky’s Th e Nutcracker. Five performances are

being presented at Playhouse Square’s State Th eatre next

week. Th e production will be conducted by Tito Muñoz

and marks the fi rst time Th e Cleveland Orchestra has

performed Tchaikovsky’s Th e Nutcracker in a fully-staged

presentation.

Conceived and originally directed in 1987 by Rob-

ert Joff rey, with choreographic contributions from Gerald

Arpino, this production of Th e Nutcracker features more

than 40 company dancers, 200 brilliant costumes, and

larger-than-life scenery. Th e Chicago Sun-Times called the

Joff rey’s Nutcracker “a grand showcase of classical tech-

nique that spotlights the particular talents of many of the

company’s ensemble dancers,” the Chicagoist calls it “a

fi rst-class celebration of one of the greatest holiday pro-

ductions ever,” and the Washington Post praised it as “a

theatrical event of irresistible power.”

Th e Cleveland cast of Th e Nutcracker includes sixty Northeast Ohio young

dancers, selected by audition, dancing side-by-side with the Joff rey company. Th e

Cleveland Orchestra Children’s Chorus, comprised of fi ft y members, also joins

the performances to sing in the beautiful “Snow Scene.”

“Our company looks forward to once again joining Th e Cleveland Orches-

tra” says Joff rey Ballet artistic director Ashley Wheater, “and in extending our

wonderful partnership into a complete production. Our previous performances

together at Blossom have included elements of a full ballet, but this time we’ll

have all the sets, costumes, lighting, and the magnifi cent choreography of our

founder Robert Joff rey.”

In the 2012-13 season, The Cleveland Or-

chestra continues its innovations in program-

ming and community engagement, seeking to

build on the success of recent initiatives. The

coming season’s innovations include new pro-

gram and audience development activities at

Severance Hall, alongside expanded activities

outside the concert hall.

The Orchestra will venture even farther

outside its University Circle home with new

programs downtown and on Cleveland’s West

Side. At PlayhouseSquare, the Orchestra will col-

laborate with The Joff rey Ballet, while the orga-

nization’s ground-breaking residency program,

developed and refi ned by the Orchestra in cities

including Vienna and Miami, will come home

to Northeast Ohio with the launch of a new

program of Neighborhood Residencies. The

fi rst annual Cleveland Orchestra Neighborhood

Residency will take place in Gordon Square the

week of May 13-19, 2013. Also this season, the ini-

tiative that brought the full Orchestra back into

the schools in 2009 will continue and become a

permanent part of the annual schedule thanks

to a newly-created endowment fund, and a new

partnership with Breakthrough Charter Schools

begins in October 2012.

Meanwhile, “Under 18s Free,” a program

fi rst established for the 2011 Blossom Festival,

will come inside Severance Hall for selected

concerts, and as the unique Fridays@7 Series

enters its fourth season, a bold repertoire move

sees world music migrating from the @fter-party

entertainment to the main-stage concert with

the Orchestra. The KeyBank Fridays@7 series

opened on October 5 featuring the music of

Stewart Copeland, founder and drummer of The

Police, and a collaboration with the Rock and

Roll Hall of Fame & Museum.

In announcing the new initiatives in Au-

gust, Gary Hanson, executive director of The

Cleveland Orchestra, said, “We want to build on

the success of our many recent community en-

gagement initiatives, and in the coming season

we are further diversifying our schedule and

programs. Our goal is to be even more relevant

to our community.”

CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENCY

The Cleveland Orchestra Neighborhood

Residency is a new program to immerse the

Orchestra in local communities with an intense

schedule of performances and activities. The

fi rst of these annual residencies in Northeast Ohio

takes place the week of May 13-19, 2013, in Gor-

don Square. The centerpieces of the Residency

will be free Cleveland Orchestra concerts at St.

Colman Church for neighborhood residents and

students, and musicians will perform as soloists

and in ensembles in non-traditional locations and

in local schools. The Cleveland Orchestra Neigh-

borhood Residency at Gordon Square is funded

in part by the Machaskee Fund for Community

Programming, an endowed fund created by Alex

and Carol Machaskee.

Sean Watterson, co-owner of the Happy Dog

bar, restaurant, and music venue in Gordon Square,

said, “We’re incredibly enthusiastic about the Or-

chestra coming to Gordon Square. We’re thrilled

that people in our community will be able to expe-

rience their world-class performances at a series of

events for all ages throughout the neighborhood.

We’re proud to welcome the world to Gordon

Square to join us for this unique experience.”

HIGH SCHOOL PERFORMANCES PERMANENTLY ENDOWED

The Cleveland Orchestra returned to per-

forming in Cleveland high schools in 2009, after

an absence of more than three decades. On

Thursday, October 11, 2012, the Orchestra’s per-

formance at Shaker Heights High School is the

fi rst to be supported by a newly established fund

that permanently endows annual Cleveland Or-

chestra performances in area high schools. The

Alfred Lerner In-School Performance Fund, a gift

of $1 million from Mrs. Norma Lerner and The

Lerner Foundation, will support concerts in high

schools in perpetuity. Performances are being

mances and the traditional series of Christmas

New album with ClevelandOrchestra and Mitsuko Uchida

is now available . . . The third of Mitsuko Uchida’s albums of

Mozart concertos with The Cleveland Orches-

tra has been released — and is now avail-

able for purchase at the Cleveland Orchestra

Store at Severance Hall. The album features

Piano Concertos Nos. 9 and 21,

recorded in live performances at

Severance Hall. One of the previ-

ous discs from this collaboration

received a Grammy Award in

2011.

Reviews of this new album

include these comments from

Audiophile Audition: “Conduct-

ing Mozart concertos from the

piano has a long and honored

tradition, originating with the composer him-

self. . . . Uchida performs on a new Hamburg

Steinway whose action remains uniformly

light and resonant, especially as Uchida does

not mince her dynamics. . . . We need only

audition this fine collaboration to enjoy the

scintillating energy of the outer movements

[of Concerto No. 9] and the internal rigors of

the Andantino. The last movement virtually

bubbles with infectious wit and digital confi-

dence. . . . [In Concerto No. 21] the give-and-

take response between Uchida and the Cleve-

land strings and winds attractively beguiles

us. Then, her seamless runs and arpeggios

move inexorably to a bravura cadenza almost

early Beethoven in

its briefly pearly wit

that rushes to a coda

spread over three

octaves. Superb!”

Comings and goings As a courtesy to the performers

onstage and the entire audience, late-

arriving patrons cannot be seated until the

first break in the musical program.

Cleveland Orchestra’s Distinguished Service Award

presented to Maltzes The Cleveland Orch-

estra’s seventeeth an-

nual Distinguished Service

Award was presented to

Milton and Tamar Maltz at

the start of the Orchestra

concert on October 6. The

award, created in 1996,

honors a person or orga-

nization that has provided

continuing exemplary

service to the Musical Arts Association, the

non-profit parent organization that operates

The Cleveland Orchestra, Severance Hall, and

Blossom Festival.

The Maltzes have demonstrated exception-

al and continuous dedication to The Cleveland

Orchestra and the arts community in Northeast

Ohio across four decades. They have been

generous contributors to the Orchestra’s Annual

Fund and to special projects such as, in 2000,

the internationally acclaimed renovation of Sev-

erance Hall. In 2010, their visionary leadership

helped launch The Cleveland Orchestra’s Center

for Future Audiences, which was generously

endowed with a lead gift of $20 million from the

Maltz Family Foundation. The Center was estab-

lished to create and fund programs to develop

new generations of audiences for Cleveland

Orchestra concerts in Northeast Ohio.

Family Concert seriescontinues in spring with

“Symphony Under the Sea” after Spooktacular startThe Cleveland Orchestra’s season of Family

Concerts began with a fun-filled program in

late October with “Halloween Spook-

tacular III.” The series continues in

2013 with “Symphony Under the

Sea” on Friday evening, March

8, led by conductor Robert

Franz — including favorite

musical numbers from Disney’s

Little Mermaid. The series closes with

“Fables, Fantasies, & Folklore” on Sunday

afternoon, May 12, led by conductor Michael

Butterman — in an exploration of music story-

telling and fun.

Intended for children ages 7 and older,

the series is designed to introduce young peo-

ple to classical music. The Halloween program

included favorite musical hits and also featured

a costume contest for audience members. The

Orchestra musicians onstage also got into the

“spirit” of the occasion with many theme-re-

lated outfits.

In addition to each one-hour Orchestra

concert, the Family Concert Series features

free, pre-concert activities, including an “In-

strument Discovery” in which children can try

playing various instruments.

For complete details about the spring

concerts, visit clevelandorchestra.com.

Happy Birthday, and thank you, WCLV.”

Familiar Romanticism T H E T W O C O M P O S E R S on this

weekend’s program represent op-

posite ends of the Romantic era in

music. Both wrote music filled with

emotional feelings, swept in soaring

melodies and lyrical details. Both

lived full lives, although Chopin’s

was noticeably shorter than Rach-

maninoff’s. Both left their home-

lands, of Poland and Russia, never to

return.

The two works performed at

this weekend’s concerts date from

halfway through each man’s life

— Chopin’s Second Piano Concerto

from 1830 when the composer was

just 20, Rachmaninoff’s Second Sym-

phony from 1909 when he was 36.

Chopin spent the rest of his short life

devoting himself to works for solo pi-

ano. With the Second Symphony, Rachmaninoff found renewed

vigor in his music writing and spent the next decade creating a

string of works, well-loved and cherished by music lovers around

the world — though few would surpass the popularity of this

symphony.

Both works have been belittled by some who want some-

thing more from music. But what can be better than a good tune,

artfully crafted and played to perfection, accompanied in pleas-

ing harmonies and changing colors? For Thanksgiving Week-

end, such traditional fare is as satisfying as a good meal with

friends and family. And, surely, Chopin and Rachmaninoff are

near and dear members of the orchestral family. Enjoy.

Piano Concerto No. 2 in F minor, Opus 21composed 1829-30

About the Music

C H O P I N ’ S T WO P I A N O C O N C E R T O S are both early works,

composed before he left Warsaw for what was to be a journey that

led to Paris as his permanent home. He was just twenty, with

considerable ambitions as a composer and as a virtuoso pianist,

and his French father, Nicolas Chopin, was far from being the

obstructive parent that great artists are traditionally supposed

to battle against. He made it clear to his son that to succeed at

the highest level in music he needed to experience the wider

world and to fi nd out for himself how music was cultivated in

the great capitals of Europe: Vienna, Berlin, Rome, Paris.

Th e concerts Chopin gave in Warsaw before his depar-

ture put his immense talents on display and earned the label

“genius” from at least some members of the press. Concerts in

that era were entirely diff erent from the events we know today.

Almost all concerts, which lasted three hours or more, included

a number of soloists, among them always at least one singer.

Solo pieces alternated with orchestral music. Th ere was gener-

ally a chorus on hand, and the tone would tend to get lighter as

the evening proceeded. Th e public was especially enamored of

singers, preferably famous sopranos, and of pianists, who had

an instrument of great brilliance at their command.

During Beethoven’s lifetime, the piano had enjoyed the

fruits of rapid industrial advance. It was stronger, heavier,

larger, and louder. It was still always brown, never black, and

it was equipped with a variety of pedals for special eff ects. Its

sound could fi ll ever larger halls. Above all, by the time Cho-

pin appeared on the scene it had an upper register that added

more than an octave to the range of Mozart’s piano. Th is high

register had a tinkly brilliance that pianists and composers

rushed to exploit. (Even Beethoven’s inactive ears responded

to this new sound in his later works.) Finger virtuosity was the

goal of every aspiring pianist, and the études and variations

that poured from the presses off ered even modest pianists the

chance to impress their listeners with cascades of notes that

sound much more diffi cult than they really are.

At the highest level, therefore, pianist-composers had to

develop a truly formidable fi nger technique, the most celebrat-

ed exponent of whom was the young Franz Liszt. Chopin was

among the young virtuosos of this order, although he did not

meet Liszt until he reached Paris. His models were Hummel,

Kalkbrenner, and Moscheles — well established touring pia-

nists and successful composers, all of whom wrote concertos

that combine great virtuosity with solid craft smanship.

Chopin probably knew no Mozart or Beethoven concertos

in his teenage years. Hummel was his model for the concerto

in F minor. Th is concerto, which Th e Cleveland Orchestra is

presenting this weekend, is now known as No. 2 because it was

published later than the complementary work in E minor that

followed soon aft er. He performed the F-minor concerto in

Warsaw in March 1830 to rapturous acclaim from the press.

He was greeted as a true national hero: “How beautifully he

plays! What fl uency! What evenness! Th ere could be no more

perfect concord between the two hands. He plays with such cer-

tainty, so cleanly that his concerto might be compared to the life

of a just man: no ambiguity, nothing false. He plays with the

good manners of a well-bred person who may indeed be aware

of his own signifi cance but has no pretensions, knowing that, if

he chose, anything might be permitted to him. His music is full

of expressive feeling and song, and puts the listener into a state

of subtle rapture, bringing back to his memory all the happy mo-

ments he has known.”

Chopin’s playing was always noted for its high breeding

and lack of showy display, yet his music, especially his concer-

tos, calls for great precision and brilliant polish. We cannot

fail to notice that the critic had already observed the expressive

qualities of this music. Th e new work was repeated a week later

to even greater applause.

Chopin already had a second concerto in the works. Th is

was to be known as No. 1 in E minor. It was ready by October

1830, when the composer performed it to another enthusiastic

audience. “Th e bravos were deafening,” Chopin reported, al-

though there was little response in the press. A few weeks later

he left Warsaw, never to return.

Chopin’s concertos have been criticized for the minor role

allotted to the orchestra and (by Berlioz) for their unadventur-

ous use of instruments. Th ey treat the classical key system with

a certain impudence. Yet their melodic richness, their warmly

colored harmony, and their highly craft ed piano writing all ensure

their place in the repertory. Chopin himself played this concerto

only twice more, during his early years in Paris. He would not

have regarded it as approaching the peak of his creative genius,

Chopin wrote his F-minor

Piano Concerto in 1829-30.

He played the solo part at the

private premiere performance,

on March 4, 1830, in Warsaw,

conducted by Karol Kurpinski. A

public performance was given

two weeks later, on March 17, at

the Warsaw National Theater as

part of Chopin’s “debut” concert

in the capital. The concerto

was designated as “No. 2” at the

time of its publication. (Chopin’s

other piano concerto, in E minor,

written later in 1830, was pub-

lished fi rst, as “No. 1.”)

This concerto runs about 30

minutes in performance. Chopin

scored it for 2 fl utes, 2 oboes, 2

clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns,

2 trumpets, bass trombone,

timpani, and strings.

The Cleveland Orchestra

fi rst presented this concerto in

December 1932, conducted by

Nikolai Sokoloff and with Josef

Hofmann as soloist. It has been

heard on a few occasions since

that time, most recently as part

of Cleveland Orchestra Miami

performances in March 2010,

conducted by Vladimir Ashke-

nazy with Ingrid Fliter as the

soloist, and as part of the 2007

Blossom Festival, with conductor

Roberto Minczuk and with Fliter

as the soloist.

but as a vehicle for a young pianist-composer it served him well.

For Chopin to model his fi rst attempt at a full-scale concerto

on a work by Hummel is neither surprising nor shameful. Hav-

ing studied with Mozart as a boy, Hummel went on to a brilliant

career. He visited Warsaw in 1828 and met young Chopin, who

regarded his concertos with enormous admiration. Th ey were

up-to-date virtuoso works, more advanced in this respect than

Beethoven’s concertos, which Chopin in any case did not know.

Th e fi rst movement of Chopin’s concerto is based on themes that

start off simply but are quickly subjected to fanciful elaborations

of every kind. Th e second movement is a marvel of elegance and

fi ligree decoration, the orchestra giving patient support through-

out, and the fi nale has the character of a lively Polish dance, part

mazurka, part krakowiak, in 3/4 time. Towards the end, the horn

sounds the signal for a turn to the major key and a coda driven by

cascades of notes ranging from one end of the piano to the other.

T O T E L L T H E S T O R I E S of Sergei Rachmaninoff ’s sympho-

nies is to give a capsule biography of the artist. Each symphony

belongs to a diff erent period in Rachmaninoff ’s career. Aside

from a student essay (of which only the fi rst movement sur-

vives), there are three numbered symphonies, plus the choral

symphony Th e Bells, which bears no number. Together, they

illustrate Rachmaninoff ’s life-long search to fi nd his identity

as a composer.

When Rachmaninoff wrote his Symphony No. 1 in D

minor (Opus 13) at the age of 22, he had already established

himself in Russia as one of the most talented musicians of his

generation. Graduated from the Moscow Conservatory with

the rarely-awarded Gold Medal, he was widely known as a pro-

digious pianist. He was also considered a promising composer

— his examination piece, the one-act opera Aleko, had been

performed at the Bolshoi Th eater, sharing a double bill with a

work by Tchaikovsky.

Th e premiere of Rachmaninoff ’s First Symphony, given

in St. Petersburg on March 15, 1897, turned out to be an unex-

pected disaster. Th e conductor, Alexander Glazunov, a famous

composer and professor at the St. Petersburg Conservatory, was

apparently unsympathetic to the music of a Muscovite (there

was an open rivalry between the music schools of the two Rus-

sian capitals). Th e critics, among them composer César Cui

(a former member of the group of composers known as “the

Five,” who could oft en sway professional opinion), found the

symphony seriously fl awed, and wrote scathing reviews. Th e

ensuing fi asco thrust young Rachmaninoff into such a state of

depression that for three entire years he was largely unable to

write any music whatsoever. He only recovered his ability to

work through the intervention of a psychiatrist who used the

new method of hypnosis to restore his self-confi dence.

Even so, and despite the resounding success of his Second

Piano Concerto in 1901, it took six more years before Rach-

maninoff attempted another symphony. In the meantime, he

was busy as an opera conductor at the Imperial Th eater and as

a concert pianist. Finally, he made a radical decision, cancelled

all his performing engagements, and left Russia in order to be

able to work on his composition projects undisturbed.

In October 1906, Rachmaninoff , together with his young

wife and baby daughter, took up residence in the German town

of Dresden. Th ere — and during the warmer months, while

residing at his summer estate near Moscow — he spent the bet-

ter part of 1907 working on his Second Symphony. Th e new

work, premiered in St. Petersburg on February 8, 1908, under

the composer’s baton, was well received, and Rachmaninoff

confi rmed his position as Russia’s leading young composer.

Th e Second Symphony marked the beginning of Rach-

maninoff ’s most successful years as a composer. In the decade

before the Russian Revolutions of 1917 and his emigration to

the West, Rachmaninoff wrote the symphonic poem Th e Isle of

the Dead, the Th ird Piano Concerto, two great liturgical works

(Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom and Vespers), numerous songs,

and piano works, as well as the choral symphony Th e Bells.

During the following decade, by contrast, Rachmaninoff

wrote almost nothing at all. In the years aft er his departure

from Russia, he became a world-famous piano virtuoso, with

a busy concert schedule all over the United States and Europe,

with little time for composing. Rachmaninoff settled in the

United States, but soon acquired a villa and an adjoining prop-

erty in Switzerland, where he began to compose again on his

vacations. It is there that he wrote his last important works,

including the Rhapsody on a Th eme of Paganini in 1934 and the

Th ird Symphony in 1935-36.

THE SECOND SYMPHONY

Th e Second Symphony begins with a Largo introduction

whose opening motif, fi rst presented by the cellos and basses,

will recur in varied form throughout the symphony. Its main

features are a stepwise motion (fi rst ascending, then descend-

ing), and a rhythmic pattern with ties across the barline. Th is

material dominates both the lengthy introduction and the sub-

sequent main section of the fi rst movement. At fi rst soft and

subdued, the main theme is gradually transformed, through

variation and development, and reappears forte played by the

full orchestra. A second melodic idea is based on an alter-

nation between woodwind and strings, and brought to a climax,

only to fade back to pianissimo at the end of the exposition. Th e

beginning of the development section is marked by the return of

the main theme as a violin solo. Th e theme is soon taken over by

the clarinet, and turned into fast-moving fi gurations in both winds

and strings. Aft er a new emotional high point, the recapitulation

begins, concentrating on the second theme, which appears in E ma-

jor. Th e movement’s coda, however, reverts to the key of E minor,

the main tonality, and brings the movement to a ringing close.

Th e second movement is a Scherzo in sonata form, with a

contrasting second theme. Th e main melody is played fi rst by the

horns and then by the violins against a lively rhythmic background.

Th e second theme, without being a direct quote of the fi rst move-

ment’s main idea, shares with it a stepwise motion and its charac-

teristic rhythm. It is followed by a return of the fi rst theme. Th e

movement’s Trio section, somewhat closer in tempo, also contains

two distinct materials: the fi rst is played staccato (short, separated

notes) by the violins, while the second, with brass and percussion

as the protagonists, is a special mixture of a march and a church

hymn, with unexpected off -beat accents. A return to the fi rst tempo

brings back both themes of the main section, but the movement

closes with some reminiscences of the march from the Trio.

Th e third-movement Adagio begins with an expressive vio-

lin melody followed by a clarinet solo in the same kind of mold as

the symphony’s earlier themes, in stepwise motion. A third idea,

played by the fi rst violins, receives a counterpoint from the other

strings and the woodwinds, and leads back to the fi rst theme, now

heard at great volume in a full orchestral fortissimo. Th e middle

section starts very soft ly with english horn and oboe solos. A new

climax is reached, soon to recede into a decrescendo and, fi nally, a

long silence. In the recapitulation the fi rst theme is re-introduced

by the horn. Th e other two ideas also return, in richer orchestra-

tion than before, and contrapuntally combined with parts of the

fi rst theme. Like the second movement, the third also ends with

an allusion to material heard in its middle section.

Th e fourth-movement Finale in E major starts with a fanfare-

like theme played fortissimo by the entire orchestra. It is followed by

a transition section for horns, timpani, and double bass, which

leads into a march for winds (not unlike the one heard in the

second movement). Th e main theme returns, then gives way to

a broad melody, eventually winding down to pianissimo chords

over a long-held pedal. Aft er a short recall of the third move-

ment’s main theme, a development section begins, with mostly

new melodic ideas, among which a descending scale gains in-

creasing prominence. Th e recapitulation section brings back the

fanfare, the march, the broad melody, and the descending scale,

combining them all in the symphony’s triumphant ending.

—Peter Laki

Peter Laki is a musicologist and frequent lecturer on classical music, and a visiting associate professor at Bard College in New York.

Rachmaninoff composed his Second Sym-

phony in 1906-07. The fi rst performance took

place on February 8, 1908, in St. Petersburg,

with the composer conducting. The

United States premiere was given by Modeste

Altschuler and the Russian Musical Society in

New York on January 14, 1909.

This symphony runs about an hour in

performance. Rachmaninoff scored it for 3

fl utes (third doubling piccolo), 3 oboes (third

doubling english horn), 2 clarinets, bass

clarinet, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3

trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion (side

drum, bass drum, cym bals, glockenspiel), and

strings.

Rachmaninoff ’s Second Symphony was

introduced to Cleveland by the visiting Boston

Symphony Orchestra, which played it at Grays

Armory in January 1911, under Max Fiedler.

The Cleveland Orchestra fi rst performed it in

March 1920, conducted by Nikolai Sokoloff .

The most recent performances were given in

December 2009 under the direction of Iván

Fisher.

The Cleveland Orchestra and Nikolai So-

koloff recorded Rachmaninoff ’s Second Sym-

phony in May 1928, using a score especially

prepared and shortened by the composer; this

“complete” recording was released as a set of

twelve 78 rpm discs.

Jaap van Zweden was born in 1960 in Amsterdam.

He began violin studies at the Amsterdam Conservatory

before entering the Juilliard School at age 16 to work with

Dorothy DeLay. At 19, he became the youngest concert-

master in the history of Amsterdam’s Royal Concertge-

bouw Orchestra. Aft er pursuing conducting studies in the

Netherlands, Mr. van Zweden changed his professional

focus in 1997. He subsequently served as chief conductor of

the Netherlands Symphony Orchestra, Residentie Orches-

tra of Th e Hague, and the Royal Flemish Orchestra. He was also chief conduc-

tor and artistic director of the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic and Chamber

and the Tonhalle Zurich. He has conducted operas at the National Reisopera and

Netherlands Opera, in repertoire spanning works by Barber, Beethoven, Haydn,

Puccini, Verdi, and Wagner.

Jaap van Zweden’s discography includes the complete Beethoven and

Brahms symphonies, as well as works by Stravinsky. His London Philharmonic

debut performance of Mahler’s Symphony No. 5 was recorded live. For the Octa-

via label, he is conducting the Bruckner symphonies with the Netherlands Radio

Philharmonic. Mr. van Zweden has led Mozart piano concertos with the Phil-

harmonia Orchestra and soloist David Fray for Virgin, and his performances of

Wagner’s Lohengrin, Die Meistersinger, and Parsifal are available on CD/DVD.

For the Dallas Symphony’s own label, he has led several symphonies by

Beethoven and Tchaikovsky.

Mr. van Zweden and his wife Aaltje have four children. Committed to

increasing awareness and acceptance of autism, they established the Papageno

Foundation, which brings music therapy into the homes of autistic children in

the Netherlands.

estra’s excellence is a refl ec-

tion of the musicians who are

a part of it and the people

who support it. Cleveland has

created and sustained a great

orchestra because of people

who are passionate about

quality. Excellence begins

with the community — and

we are privileged to be a

part of the best community

in the world.

nent toward sustaining The Cleveland Orchestra’s

the Orchestra’s outstanding performances, educa-

tional activities, and community projects.

The Crescendo Patron Program recognizes gener-

ous donors of $2,500 or more to the Orchestra’s

Annual Campaign. For more information on the

benefits of playing a supporting role each year,

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.
