String Quartet in D minor (1879-1884)...................................................................Hugo Wolf Grave - Leidenschaftlich bewegt (1860-1903) Scherzo: Resolut Langsam Sehr lebhaft --- Intermission --String Quartet in F Major, Op.41, No.2..................................................... Robert Schumann Allegro vivace (1810-1856) Andante, quasi Variazioni Scherzo: Presto Allegro molto vivace PROGR A M NOTES

By Timothy Noonan, Senior Lecturer – Music History and Literature Wolf, String Quartet in D Minor Over the course of his short career, Hugo Wolf’s compositional work focused principally in the field of the German art song, or Lied. Some of his earliest work, however, was purely instrumental. He began composing at the age of 15, when he began work on his Op. 1, a piano sonata that he dedicated to his father. Later that year, 1875, he entered the Vienna Conservatory, where he befriended Mahler (the two were born about four months apart in 1860), and showed some small compositions to the visiting Richard Wagner. Wolf remained in Vienna less than two years, however, and then returned to his family. Probably in 1878, he contracted syphilis, the condition that ultimately led to the loss of his sanity in his late 30s.

1879 brought an important meeting with Brahms, one that led to Wolf’s opposition to the elder composer’s ideas, favoring those of Wagner.

Wolf’s String Quartet in D minor is a chamber work by a composer almost entirely associated with the Lied, and thus might be compared with a work like Verdi’s String Quartet in E minor. Wolf labeled the score “Entbehren sollst du, sollst entbehren!”

(Renounce, you must renounce!), a line from Goethe’s Faust in which the title character is ready to sell his soul to the devil. Wolf is known to have revered the work of Beethoven, and his knowledge of his late string quartets was certainly an influence as he composed his own. The work had a long gestation period. Wolf began it in 1878; the scherzo was written in 18 days in late 1878 and early 1879, the slow movement followed in summer 1880, and the finale was not written until 1884. It received its public premiere on February 3, 1903, less than three weeks prior to the composer’s death. In 1879, he sent a letter to Franz Liszt, including a portion of the quartet, and Liszt, to Wolf’s delight, replied with an encouraging letter along with the score with a correction in the margin. The first movement begins with a tense and powerful slow introduction, and then the fast portion of the movement, greatly expanding upon the principles of sonata form, presents a series of ideas that are densely developed.

The scherzo was originally planned as the third movement, but stands now properly as the second. Particularly in its rhythms, portions of this movement show a strong influence of Beethoven, especially of the Op. 95 quartet. The slow movement, on the other hand, is evocative of Wagner’s Tannhäuser and Lohengrin. And in the finale, one can perceive the composer’s growth in the years since the work was begun. The style is less intense, and the form combines elements of sonata and rondo.

Schumann, String Quartet in F Major, Op. 41 No. 2 Robert Schumann was actively involved in the composition of chamber music over much of his career. Yet the only three string quartets he ever wrote, published as a set as Op. 41, were all composed in 1842, the year in which he particularly focused on chamber music. In addition to the three quartets, amazingly composed in just nine days, he also wrote two of his best known chamber works, the Piano Quintet Op. 44 and the Piano Quartet Op. 47, that same year. During this period, he and his bride, Clara, were residing in Leipzig following their 1840 wedding; their first child, a daughter named Marie, was born in September 1841. It was not a particularly happy period for Robert, since Clara, touring as a concert pianist, had to be away from him much of the time. He spent some of this time studying the string quartets of earlier masters as preparation for writing his own.

The String Quartet, in F major, is laid out in a traditional four-movement scheme.

The first movement, with no introduction, begins with a long, flowing melody that is handed off between the violins. A clearly articulated secondary theme and closing idea round off an exposition well in keeping with classical tradition.

The second movement is a set of variations on a theme in 12/8 time. The first three carry on the tradition of increased rhythmic activity with each successive variation. That process, however, ceases in the fourth and fifth variations, in which the length of the theme is reduced, first in a slow tempo and then in a fifth, quick variation. Thereupon, the theme returns in its original form, followed by a brief coda. The scherzo, with its rapid ascents and descents, is in 6/8 meter, and the trio section turns to 2/4. In the trio, the violins begin by marking time on the off beats, as the cello presents the theme, resulting in delicious metric ambiguity. The return of the scherzo is abbreviated, and the coda concludes in pizzicato. After two quick measures of introduction, the sonata-form finale opens with a sixteenth-note theme initially presented by the first violin. The second theme is syncopated, with each instrument presenting it in turn. The quartet concludes with a substantial and exciting coda.

F I N E A R T S Q UA R T E T The Fine Arts Quartet, now celebrating its 65th anniversary, is one of the most distinguished ensembles in chamber music today, with an illustrious history of performing success and an extensive recording legacy. Founded in Chicago in 1946, and based at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee since 1963, the Quartet is one of the elite few to have recorded and toured internationally for over half a century. Three of the Quartet’s current artists, violinists Ralph Evans, Efim Boico, and cellist Wolfgang Laufer, have now been performing together for nearly 30 years. Violist Nicolò Eugelmi joined the Quartet in 2009. Each season, the Fine Arts Quartet tours worldwide, with concerts in such musical centers as New York, London, Paris, Berlin, Rome, Madrid, Moscow, Tokyo, Beijing, Istanbul, Jerusalem, Mexico City, and Toronto.

The Quartet has recorded more than 200 works, over 80 of them with Evans, Boico, and Laufer. Their latest releases on Naxos include: the two Saint-Saëns String Quartets, three Beethoven String Quintets; the Franck String Quartet and Piano Quintet; Fauré Piano Quintets; complete Bruckner chamber music; complete Mendelssohn String Quintets; Four American Quartets by Antheil, Herrmann, Glass, Evans; complete Schumann Quartets; and the Glazunov String Quintet and Novelettes. Aulos Musikado released their complete Dohnányi String Quartets and Piano Quintets, and Lyrinx released both their complete early Beethoven Quartets and complete Mozart String Quintets in SACD format. Releases planned for 20114 UWM Peck School of the Arts

F I N E A R T S Q UA R T E T ( c o n t .)

12 on Naxos include the world premiere recording of Efrem Zimbalist’s Quartet in its 1959 revised edition, the world premiere digital recording of Eugène Ysaÿe’s long-lost masterpiece for quartet and string orchestra, Harmonies du Soir; Fritz Kreisler’s String Quartet; and three of Robert Schumann’s greatest chamber works: the Piano Quintet, Piano Quartet, and Märchenerzählungen.

The Quartet’s recent recordings have received many distinctions. Their Fauré Quintets CD on Naxos with pianist Cristina Ortiz was singled out by the 2011 Gramophone Classical Music Guide as a “Gramophone award-winner and recording of legendary status,” and was among the recordings for which musical producer Steven Epstein won a 2009 Grammy® Award (Producer of the Year, Classical). The Quartet’s Franck CD was named Editor’s Choice by Gramophone Magazine in February, 2010, and their Glazunov, Mendelssohn, and Fauré CD’s were each named a Recording of the Year by Musicweb International (2007-2009).

In addition, their Four American Quartets album was designated a BBC Music Magazine Choice in 2008, their Schumann CD was named “one of the very finest chamber music recordings of the year” by the American Record Guide in 2007, and their Mozart Quintets SACD box set was named a Critic’s Choice 2003 by the American Record Guide. Nearly all of the Quartet’s Naxos CDs were selected for Grammy® Awards entry lists in the Best Classical Album and/or Best Chamber Music Performance categories. Special recognition was given for the Quartet’s commitment to contemporary music: a 2003-2004 national CMA/ASCAP Award for Adventurous Programming, given jointly by Chamber Music America and the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers.

The Quartet members have helped form and nurture many of today’s top international young ensembles. They have been guest professors at the national music conservatories of Paris and Lyon, as well as at the summer music schools of Yale University and Indiana University. They also appear regularly as jury members of major competitions such as Evian, Shostakovich, and Bordeaux. Documentaries on the Fine Arts Quartet have appeared on both French and American Public Television.

For more information on the Quartet, please visit: www.fineartsquartet.org BIOGR APHIES RALPH EVANS, violinist, prizewinner in the 1982 International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow, concertized as a soloist throughout Europe and North America before succeeding Leonard Sorkin as first violinist of the Fine Arts Quartet. Evans has recorded over 85 solo and chamber works to date. These include the two Bartók Sonatas for violin and piano, whose performance the New York Times enthusiastically recommended for its “searching insight and idiomatic flair,”

and three virtuoso violin pieces by Lukas Foss with the composer at the piano. Evans received four degrees including a doctorate from Yale University, where he graduated cum laude with a specialization in music, mathematics, and pre-med. While a Fulbright scholar in London, he studied with Szymon Goldberg and Nathan Milstein, and soon won the top prize in a number of major American competitions, including the Concert Artists Guild Competition in New York, and the National Federation of Music Clubs National Young Artist Competition.

His award winning composition Nocturne has been performed on UWM Peck School of the Arts 5

B I O G R A P H I E S ( c o n t .)

American Public Television and his String Quartet No.1, recently released on the Naxos label, has been warmly greeted in the press (“rich and inventive” Toronto Star; “whimsical and clever, engaging and amusing” - All Music Guide; “vigorous and tuneful” - Montreal Gazette; “seductive, modern sonorities” - France Ouest; “a small masterpiece” Gli Amici della Musica).

EFIM BOICO, violinist, enjoys an international career that has included solo appearances under conductors Zubin Mehta, Carlo Maria Guilini, Claudio Abbado and Erich Leinsdorf, and performances with Daniel Barenboim, Radu Lupu and Pinchas Zuckerman. After receiving his musical training in his native Russia, he emigrated in 1967 to Israel, where he was appointed Principal Second Violin of the Israel Philharmonic - a position he held for eleven years. In 1971, he joined the Tel Aviv Quartet as second violinist, touring the world with guest artists such as André Previn and Vladimir Ashkenazy. In 1979, Boico was appointed concertmaster and soloist of the Orchestre de Paris under Daniel Barenboim, positions he held until 1983, when he joined the Fine Arts Quartet. Boico has been guest professor at the Paris and Lyons Conservatories in France, and the Yehudi Menuhin School in Switzerland. He is also a frequent juror representing the United States in the prestigious London, Evian, and Shostakovich Quartet Competitions. As music professor at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, he has received numerous awards, including the Wisconsin Public Education Professional Service Award for distinguished music teaching, and the Arts Recognition and Talent Search Award from the National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts.

NICOLÒ EUGELMI, violist, joined the Fine Arts Quartet in July, 2009. He is described by The Strad magazine as “a player of rare perception, with a keen ear for timbres and a vivid imagination.” As soloist, recitalist, and member of chamber ensembles, he has performed around the world, collaborating most notably with conductors Mario Bernardi, Jean-Claude Casadesus, and Charles Dutoit. Eugelmi completed his musical training at the University of British Columbia and the Juilliard School. In 1999, he was appointed Associate Principal Violist of the Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal, and in 2005, he became Principal Violist of the Canadian Opera Company.

Eugelmi’s recording, Brahms: Sonatas and Songs, was named a Strad Selection by The Strad, and his recording, Brahms Lieder, a collaboration with Marie-Nicole Lemieux, was named Editor’s Choice by Gramophone. He has recorded regularly for the CBC and RadioCanada. His mentor, Gerald Stanick, was a member of the Fine Arts Quartet from 1963 to 1968.

WOLFGANG LAUFER, cellist, is an acclaimed soloist throughout Europe and the Americas. He has appeared as guest artist with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, Israel Broadcasting Orchestra, Israel Sinfonietta, Hanover Symphony Orchestra, Radio Orchestra of Hamburg, and Freiburg Philharmonic Orchestra, and has toured Europe with the Wührer Chamber Orchestra and the United States with the Israel Chamber Orchestra. As a solo recitalist, Laufer has performed throughout Europe, North America, and South America. He

B I O G R A P H I E S ( c o n t .) emigrated from his native Romania to Israel in 1961, and completed his musical studies at the Tel-Aviv Academy, subsequently serving as principal cellist and soloist with the Israel Chamber Orchestra, Malmo Symphony Orchestra of Sweden, Hamburg Philharmonic, and State Opera of Germany. Since 1979, Laufer has been a member of the Fine Arts Quartet and Professor of Cello at the University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee.

Cohen’s passionate and articulate views on the art of learning, performing and communicating music have stimulated illuminating master classes and have been widely broadcast and published.

He is a Professor at the Royal Academy of Music, London and at the Conservatorio della Svizzera Italiana in Lugano.

The creative give-and-take of the concert hall remains Cohen’s first love, however. As a busy performing artist his career takes him to the USA, Europe, Eastern Europe, Scandinavia, Australia, Japan and the UK. He has performed with such conductors as Claudio Abbado, Maris Jansons, Riccardo Muti and Sir Simon Rattle and his enthusiasm for chamber music provides the bedrock of the Charleston Manor Festival, which he has directed since 1989.

Cohen was recently invited by eminent film producer Don Boyd to become ‘Curator’ of a classical music channel of HiBrow.TV, an arts based internet global website.

In November 2009, Cohen gave the world premiere of Sally Beamish’s Cello Concerto No. 2, The Song Gatherer.

Co-commissioned by the Minnesota ROBERT COHEN, and Hallé Orchestras, the piece was guest cellist, following specially written to mark Cohen’s 50th his Royal Festival Hall birthday. Osmo Vänskä conducted the debut at the age of 12, Minneapolis first performance and Sir Robert Cohen burst Mark Elder and the Hallé gave the UK onto the international premiere in December 2010. scene at the age of 19 with a recording of the Elgar Cello Cohen has also recently launched Concerto which earned a silver disc and two new ventures: Robert Cohen’s placed him at the forefront of his musical Cello Clinic (www.celloclinic.com), generation.

D I R E C TO R ’ S N O T E S In this year I have directed a gospel musical twice and now this play about Judas.

Both these things and the many historical events of this year have given me places to think and to reflect, to create a moment of discernment. If a play such as this has a purpose it is as old as a passion play of the Middle Ages- a performance to educate, to provoke thought about faith and to give pleasure.

In my journey this year I was directed to the following verses from Isaiah­­– I like to think that they apply to me but they also apply to Judas. In order to direct a play it must become personal- it is with these verses that I did that.

I hope you enjoy the play. Your presence is a present.

Rebecca Holderness Bible Verses “Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes. For you will spread out to the right and to the left; your descendants will dispossess nations and settle in their desolate cities.”

“For a brief moment I abandoned you, but with deep compassion I will bring you back.

In a surge of anger I hid my face from you for a moment, but with everlasting kindness I will have compassion on you,” says the LORD your Redeemer.”

“Afflicted city, lashed by storms and not comforted, I will rebuild you with stones of turquoise, your foundations with lapis lazuli. I will make your battlements of rubies, your gates of sparkling jewels, and all your walls of precious stones. All your children will be taught by the LORD, and great will be their peace. In righteousness you will be established: Tyranny will be far from you; you will have nothing to fear. Terror will be far removed; it will not come near you. If anyone does attack you, it will not be my doing; whoever attacks you will surrender to you.”

“See, it is I who created the blacksmith who fans the coals into flame and forges a weapon fit for its work.”

D R A M AT U R G I C A L G L O S S A R Y DOMINE ADJUVA INCREDULITATEM MEAM Latin. “Lord. Help my unbelief.” From The Gospel of Mark, in which Jesus casts a demon out of a child: Jesus said to him, “If you are able! – All things can be done for the one who believes.” Immediately the father of the child cried out, “I believe; help my unbelief!”

(Mark 9.23-24).

SIC DEUS DILEXIT MUNDUM - Latin. “For God so loved the world.” From The Gospel of John: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).

Faith - The complete trust in someone or something, particularly in God or in the doctrines of a religion, based in spiritual risk rather than proof.

Despair - The complete loss or absence of hope. Saint Augustine regarded despair as an “unforgiveable sin,” the reason being that it cannot be repented.

Eternal Truth - Kierkegaard suggests that truth is not defined by what is believed, but by how it is believed. Eternal truth exists regardless of one’s awareness of its existence.

Grace - In Christianity: the free and unmerited favor of God, as manifested in the salvation of sinners.

Hope - A significant element of Christianity, rooted in the promises of resurrection and the reward of heaven after the trials of human existence.

Zealots - Members of a radical sect of Judaism in 1st century CE that sought to reclaim the Holy Land. The Zealots utilized a somewhat violent political agenda to resist and remove the Roman occupation of Judea.

Sanhedrin - The highest religious court of justice and supreme council in ancient Jerusalem. During the Roman occupation in 1st century CE, Sanhedrin High Priests were controlled and influenced by officials of the Empire.

The Gospels according to Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John - These books in the New Testament recount the life and ministry of Jesus of Nazareth. The first three are deemed The Synoptic Gospels due to the fact the three texts are incredibly similar in structure and wording. These Gospels are the main historical reference for information about Jesus and the Apostles.
