Clarinet Sonata No. 1 in C Major

FRANÇOIS DEVIENNE Born January 31, 1759, Joinville, Haute-Marne, France Died September 5, 1803, Paris

Approximate Duration: 16 minutes

A contemporary of Mozart, François Devienne moved at age 20 to Paris, where he joined the Paris Opera orchestra as a bassoonist and studied the flute. Over the next decade he appeared frequently as a soloist on both flute and bassoon in that city, and he apparently was a member of the orchestra of the Loge Olympique, which gave the first performances of Haydn’s “Paris” Symphonies. During the difficult years of the French Revolution, Devienne joined the military band of the Paris National Guard, and when the Paris Conservatory was established in 1795, Devienne became its first professor of flute. In these same years he published an important method for the one-key flute, Nouvelle méthode théorique et pratique pour la flûte. Devienne’s life, however, was brief. He was placed in asylum shortly after his 44th birthday and died a few months later after a period of mental decline. A handsome portrait of Devienne, elegantly dressed and holding a black wooden flute, was painted by a student of Jacques Louis David. Devienne was a prolific composer. Though he had great success in his own day as an opera composer, he is remembered today primarily for his writing for winds, particularly for flute and bassoon (his own instruments), and also for the clarinet. The clarinet was just being admitted into orchestras in these years, and Devienne–like Mozart–was attracted to its expressive possibilities, particularly its smooth sound, agility, and wide range. The Sonata No. 1 in C Major, which has become one of Devienne’s best-known works for clarinet, is in fact an arrangement of his Oboe Sonata No. 1 in C Major, Opus 70, No. 1; in the process of arranging this music for clarinet, Devienne rewrote sections so that the clarinet’s greater range and agility would be highlighted. The sonata is in three movements. The first, marked Allegro con spiritoso is in a sort of early sonata form. The line moves easily between clarinet and piano here, and Devienne’s melodic material is sturdy and attractive. The Adagio moves to C minor, with the clarinet spinning its long and mournful melody over an understated accompaniment, while the concluding rondo– in the expected 6/8 meter–offers much opportunity for the clarinetist to display his abilities: long runs, a minor-key episode, and a great cadenza-like flourish all help drive this music to its firm conclusion.

Sonata for Clarinet and Piano

FRANCIS POULENC Born January 7, 1899, Paris Died January 30, 1963, Paris

Approximate Duration: 13 minutes

The summer of 1962 found Francis Poulenc in a valedictory mood. That summer he wrote two sonatas for woodwinds and piano, and both were dedicated to the memory of other composers who had been his friends: a Sonata for Oboe and Piano, dedicated to the memory of Serge Prokofiev, and a Sonata for Clarinet and Piano, dedicated to the memory of Arthur Honegger. Forty years earlier, Honegger and Poulenc had both been members of Les Six, a group of composers in Paris who were briefly united by their youth and talent. When Poulenc wrote these sonatas, he was 63 years old and in good health, and he could not have known that they would be his final works: he died suddenly of a heart attack the following winter. Throughout his career, Poulenc had been particularly attracted to the sound of woodwinds: in 1940 he described his Sextet for Piano and Woodwind Quartet as an act of “homage to the wind instruments I have loved from the moment I began composing.” Something of the memorial character of the Clarinet Sonata can be seen in Poulenc’s marking for the first movement: he asks that the opening Allegro be played tristamente: “sadly.” A somewhat astringent opening leads to more lyrical material; Poulenc shifts gears at the center of the movement, moving into 3/4 and a more stately section marked Très calme before a return of the opening themes brings the movement to a quiet close. The middle movement is marked Romanza, suggesting music of an unusually expressive character. An introductory flourish from the clarinet leads to the movement’s climbing main theme, marked “very gentle and melancholy”; the exotic swirls from the clarinet will return throughout this movement, which also comes to a peaceful close. Out of the silence, the finale– “Fast and with fire”–bursts to life on pounding chords and an abundance of energy. There are more lyric episodes along the way, but the bristling energy of the opening is never far away, and the music finally pounds to the sudden plunge that brings this sonata to its abrupt conclusion. The original plan was that the première of Sonata for Clarinet and Piano would be given by Benny Goodman with the composer at the piano, but Poulenc’s sudden death in January 1963 made that impossible. Goodman did perform this sonata at a memorial concert for Poulenc given in Carnegie Hall in April 1963. The pianist on that occasion was Leonard Bernstein.

RAPHAËL SÉVÈRE - PROGRAM NOTES

and its unusual composition reflects a degree of uncertainty in Weber’s own mind about the proper form for this music. He wrote the final two movements first, composing the Andante Born February 9, 1885, Vienna and the Rondo during the summer of 1815 for a tour with the Died December 24, 1935, Vienna Approximate Duration: 8 minutes clarinetist Heinrich Baermann; the two of them played this work in its two-movement form on a tour through southern The Four Pieces for Clarinet and Piano come from early Germany. Successful as this version proved, Weber was not in Alban Berg’s career, at a moment when he was still feeling satisfied, and the following year he went back and wrote a his way as a composer. Berg had studied with Schoenberg sonata-form first movement. Weber could easily have called from 1904 to 1910, and now–in his late twenties–he was the resulting work a sonata for clarinet and piano, but he chose searching for a voice of his own. In 1911 his String Quartet met with a disastrous public reception in Vienna, the following a different name: Grand Duo Concertant. It was a good decision. This is not so much a sonata year he composed the five Altenberg Lieder (the complete set (which implies chamber music) as it is a chamber concerto. would not be not performed until 1952), and early in 1913 he This music is certainly “grand” in scope, but Weber was also wrote the Four Pieces for Clarinet and Piano. These pieces right to specify its “concertant” quality: it demands that its would also wait some time to be heard, for the war soon disrupted musical life throughout Europe (miserable the entire performers be not just equals but virtuoso soloists capable of a technique more often heard in the orchestra hall than in the time, Berg spent the war in the Austrian army). Immediately more intimate environs of chamber music. Weber wrote the after the war, Schoenberg established in Vienna the Society piano part for himself (and the music shows just how good a for Private Musical Performances, an idealistic organization dedicated to young composers and to new music. The Society pianist he must have been), but the Duo shines throughout with banned all critics, gradated ticket prices on one’s ability to pay, his love for the clarinet. While it has been arranged for violin and is sometimes performed in that version, the Duo is clarinet and gave new music the rehearsal time it deserved. It was at music, featuring fluid runs, wide leaps, and the instrument’s one of the Society’s concerts–on October 17, 1919–that Berg distinctly mellow sound. finally was able to hear the Four Pieces, six years after they It may be no surprise that the first movement was written had been written. By that time he had become a completely different composer–he was now at work on Act II of his opera last. Sonata form gave Weber a good deal of trouble: he preferred a freer, more rhapsodic approach to composition, Wozzeck. In the years before the war, Schoenberg, Webern, and Berg and his ambivalence about sonata form may be another reason had pared their musical language down to its barest essentials: why he chose to give this music a different name. He marks this opening movement Allegro con fuoco, and it is full of fire. this meant the virtual elimination of theme, development, repetition, and even a harmonic foundation. Their works from This movement establishes its character from the first instant, where the piano sweeps the clarinet along an opening theme these years tend to be very short, built on bits of theme or that spans nearly three octaves; the clarinet introduces the rhythm or instrumental color that do not have the opportunity second subject, a plastic and flowing idea that Weber marks to develop. Berg’s Four Pieces span a total of eight minutes, lusingando: “charming, intimate.” and the keynote throughout is compression: the second Dramatic as the first movement is, the slow movement piece, for example, is only eight measures long. These four is–in its own way–even more impressive. Weber moves to C miniatures for clarinet and piano almost by definition do minor, and over steadily-tolling chordal accompaniment the not require detailed description. Berg requires a wide range clarinet sings the grieving main idea, marked con duolo. But, of technique (the clarinetist is repeatedly asked for fluttertonguing and echo-tone), and the sudden changes of mood rest having concluded this episode, the clarinet drops out entirely on dynamic markings that extend from triple forte to quadruple and the piano launches into a thunderous interlude of its own. The clarinet returns, and the music rises to a dramatic reprise piano. In gratitude, Berg dedicated the Four Pieces to Schoenberg and falls away to the quiet close. The clarinet announces the main theme of the rondo-finale, and to the Society for Private Musical Performances. a sinuous melody full of some nice rhythmic dislocations, and the music dances ahead. Something of its character is evident Grand Duo Concertant in E-flat Major, Opus 48 from Weber’s instructions in the score: scherzando, con anima, dolce, grazioso, and delicamente. But there are surprises here Born November 18, 1786, Eutin, Germany too: suddenly, over surging tremolo piano accompaniment, the Died June 5, 1826, London clarinet has a soaring episode marked con molto affetto: “with Approximate Duration: 20 minutes much affection.” Gradually the rondo tune reasserts itself, and The Grand Duo Concertant took shape only gradually, Duo dances and swirls its cheerful way home.

Biographies Regina Carter, violin

Violinist Regina Carter is considered the foremost jazz violinist of her generation – a designation which doesn’t quite paint the picture. As a result of her curiosity, passion, and quest for beauty brought to every stop taken on her full musical journey, she was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship (a “genius grant”) in 2006. Those are more apparent than ever on her upcoming debut Southern Comfort (Sony Music Masterworks), in which she explores the folk music of the South. The album was released on February 28, 2014 and coincided with an international tour.

Anat Cohen, clarinet & saxophone

The New York Times describes Anat Cohen as “a clarinetist of reliable ebullience.” Winner of seven consecutive Jazz Journalist Association awards for Clarinetist of the Year, Israeli-born clarinetist and saxophonist Anat Cohen has taken the jazz world by storm, winning hearts and minds the world over with her expressive virtuosity and delightful stage presence. Ms. Cohen’s music is a unique blend of modern and traditional jazz, classical music, Brazilian choro, Argentine tango, and an expansive timeline of Afro-Cuban styles. A strong Brazilian current can be heard on her most recent 2015 release Luminosa.

Roberto Fonseca, piano, keyboards, vocals

Since the beginning of his musical career in the early 1990s, Cuban-born multi-instrumentalist Roberto Fonseca has stated his mission clearly: “I want my music to reach people who don’t know me, and I dream of one day becoming a point of reference for my audience.” Although still very young – by the standards of jazz, hip-hop, world music or any other genre – Mr. Fonseca has maintained a sharp focus on his mission that has already garnered him global recognition. His latest studio effort Yo, was nominated for a 2014 Grammy® in the category of Best Latin Jazz Album.

Omara Portuondo, vocals

“Omara Portuondo is a diva in the best sense, an ambassador of Cuba to the world. Now in her mid-eighties, there is a sense in which the curtains of an era are slowly, elegantly coming down. But she will forever, as the old showbusiness adage has it ‘Always leave them wanting more,’ ” (Peter Culshaw). Omara Portuondo was born in Cayo Hueso, Havana, a barrio known for its musicality, and has been singing successfully for 70 years. Her first solo album, Black Magic, was released in 1959. She toured successfully in the U.S., before returning to Cuba at the height of the Missile Crisis. A versatile performer, her specialty has been a heart-rending bolero, and is most known for the Buena Vista Social Club project, which began 1997. Wim Wender’s 1999 film by the same “added rocket fuel” to album’s sales. The 85 Tour will reflect the long journey of her stellar career, taking the listener back to her younger years and her continuing love of elegant cabaret, from the Buena Vista days up to the present with different tastes and flavors, of what will be a musical feast, full of piquant sabrosura.

BIOGRAPHIES

Raphaël Sévère, clarinet

“Destined for the most brilliant future, gifted with astonishing technical mastery and astounding musicality” (ResMusica), French clarinetist Raphaël Sévère is quickly gaining attention. After an early music education that included piano, violin and cello, Mr. Sévère began playing the clarinet at age 8, and made his concerto debut with the Beijing Opera Orchestra at age 11. Mr. Sévère won five international competitions at age 12, and at 15 became the youngest artist and first clarinetist to be nominated for Best New Instrumentalist of the Year at the 2010 Victoires de la musique classique. By 19, he received a degree with highest honors from the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Paris (CNSM). Winner of the 2013 Young Concert Artists International Auditions, he was the recipient of the Alexander Kasza-Kasser Prize, the Korean Concert Society Prize and the Leona Green Prize for Winds. Mr. Sévère gave his New York and Kennedy Center recital debuts on the Young Concert Artists Series in 2015. He has toured Europe and Asia and performed with orchestras from Orchestre National de France to the Russian National Symphony Orchestra, among others. Mr. Sévère’s most recent recordings include the Berio Folk Songs on Naïve Records and an album of Brahms’ works.

Twyla Tharp Dance

Twyla Tharp Dance celebrates 50 years of Twyla Tharp’s groundbreaking creativity and dancemaking with an evening of classic and new work featuring a hand-chosen and meticulously rehearsed cast. Known for creativity, wit and technical precision coupled with streetwise nonchalance, Ms. Tharp’s work combines different forms of movement—such as jazz, ballet and boxing—and expands the boundaries of ballet and modern dance. The folksy and lively Country Dances from 1976 opens the program. Set to music from America’s heartland, the dancers bring Ms. Tharp’s choreography to life as they do-si-do through square dance adaptations. A dramatic new work Beethoven Opus 130 featuring longtime Tharp dancer Matthew Dibble with the company, set to Beethoven’s String Quartet in B-flat Major, Opus 130, follows. The evening closes with the 1980’s tour de force, Brahms Paganini, set to Books I & II of Variations on a Theme by Paganini, Opus 35 by Johannes Brahms. This dance showcases the virtuosity, immaculate technique and joy of Ms. Tharp’s dancers, and features a male soloist and an ensemble who display a high level of partnering expertise and stamina in movement. In each work, Ms. Tharp turns her decades of experience—dances for Hollywood films, television, and the Broadway stage, ballets, modern dances—into living proof that time is her partner as she continues to deepen and expand her singular imagination.

Twyla Tharp, choreographer

Since graduating from Barnard College in 1963, Ms. Tharp has choreographed more than one hundred sixty works: one hundred twenty-nine dances, twelve television specials, six Hollywood movies, four full-length ballets, four Broadway shows and two figure skating routines. She received one Tony Award, two Emmy Awards, nineteen honorary doctorates, the Vietnam Veterans of America President’s Award, the 2004 National Medal of the Arts, the 2008 Jerome Robbins Prize and a 2008 Kennedy Center Honor. Her many grants include the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Fellowship. She is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American Philosophical Society and an Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters. In 1965, Ms. Tharp founded her dance company, Twyla Tharp Dance. She has also created dances nationally and internationally for The Joffrey Ballet, American Ballet Theatre, The Paris Opera Ballet, The Royal Ballet, New York City Ballet, among others. Ms. Tharp has published three books: her autobiography Push Comes to Shove; The Creative Habit: Learn it and Use it for Life; and The Collaborative Habit: Life Lessons for Working Together. She is currently working on a fourth book.
