Dear Friends, Welcome to the opening weekend of concerts for this year’s 2016-17 season. Thank you so much for being a part of Cleveland Orchestra Miami, whether this is your first concert with us, or you have been enjoying our music for many seasons. Sharing Music. Sharing great music is at the core of everything Cleveland Orchestra Miami does. This season’s offerings include four weekends of great orchestral concerts here at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County — this week’s presentation, plus weekends in January, February, and March. Joining the world-famous Cleveland Orchestra is an array of renowned guest artists, including Miami’s own Seraphic Fire vocal ensemble in January and legendary cellist Yo-Yo Ma at the beginning of February. These concerts by what has been acclaimed as America’s best orchestra are a truly incredible offering for Miami-Dade — and an unforgettable experience here in the prized acoustics of Knight Concert Hall. The Power of Music to Inspire. In addition to our evening concerts, this opening week also features a series of daytime Education Concerts by The Cleveland Orchestra here at the Arsht Center for 4,000 schoolchildren attending with their classes, presented in partnership with Miami-Dade County Public Schools. This season, members of the Orchestra also present special Music Explorer programs for young children, to introduce new generations to instruments of the orchestra in bite-size formats — one instrument in each 30-minute program, with sing-alongs and music-playing demonstrations. The season will also feature a free Community Concert in January at the Miami-Dade County Auditorium, with details on how to get tickets for that special event to be announced in the coming weeks. Community Support. Everything we do is only possible through your support. By attending concerts, buying tickets, and making donations, you enable Cleveland Orchestra Miami to serve thousands of people across the region annually. A very big thank you!

About the Music — Shostakovich wrote his Piano Trio No. 2 in the midst of World War II, beginning in December 1943. He dedicated the work to his friend, musicologist Ivan Sollertinsky, who died in February 1944. The composer shared some sketches of the work with Sollertinsky prior to his death, and as he continued writing the music, the trio became a lamentation for his friend. At the same time, reports of the Holocaust were reaching Russia — and the Piano Trio layers mourning for the victims of that large tragedy into its musical ideas. For the first time in one of his compositions, Shostakovich included a Jewish melody (modelled on his understanding of Jewish folk music). The work features several dark dance episodes, with the finale seen as a “dance of death” including the Jewish melodic motif.
Concert Preludes are free to ticketholders to that evening’s Cleveland Orchestra Miami concert.

Dmitri Shostakovich, circa 1952.
There can be no music without ideology. The old composers, whether they knew it or not, were upholding a political theory. Most of them, of course, were bolstering the rule of the upper classes. Only Beethoven was a forerunner of the revolutionary movement. If you read his letters, you will see how often he wrote to his friends that he wished to give new ideas to the public and rouse it to revolt against its masters. —Dmitri Shostakovich
November 11-12
INTRODUCING THE CONCERT
Concerto Beautiful & Rejoiceful Symphony T H I S W E E K E N D ’ S C O N C E R T S offer a boisterous French overture,
an American concerto filled with tender melodies and tempestuous drive, and a Russian symphony that mixes beauty and angst within music of mixed political messages. Guest conductor Giancarlo Guerrero conducts. The evening opens with Hector Berlioz’s dramatic overture titled Roman Carnival from 1844. Created from ideas originally written for an opera that had failed at its premiere a few years earlier, this new overture quickly became one of Berlioz’s most-often played works, full of passion and energy — and a terrific start to any musical evening. The concert continues with Samuel Barber’s great Violin Concerto, written in 1939 when the composer was twentynine years old. This was his first commissioned work, and Barber’s gift for melody is evident from the opening measures of what has been called the “most beautiful American concerto.” Splendor gives way to a hard-driven third movement, which caused strong disagreement between composer and the concerto’s original intended artist. Yet the difficulty of this finale was conquered by others — and serves as a virtuosic showpiece for any violinist playing it. Gil Shaham serves as our gifted soloist this week. The concert ends with Dmitri Shostakovich’s big and thunderous Fifth Symphony, written in 1937. Created at a time of great turmoil for the composer, the symphony has been interpreted as different things by audiences, critics, and the Soviet bureaucrats at the time. Shostakovich had been soundly criticized by government censors the previous year for writing “inaccessible” and “wayward” music. Symphony No. 5 was greeted with open arms as a rousing and affirming piece of music, but may well have been intended as a tongue-in-cheek portrayal of the composer being forced to smile, of . . . praise and accolades at gunpoint. It remains a moving work, filled with telling moments of beauty and conflict, angst, anger, and triumph. Embrace the opportunity to enjoy this music along with your ability to choose among any contradictory meanings within it.

BERLIOZ born December 11, 1803 La Côte-Saint-André, Isère, France died March 8, 1869 Paris
At a Glance Berlioz composed his overture Le carnaval romain (“The Roman Carnival”) in 1844, based on material from his opera Benvenuto Cellini of 1834-37. The overture’s first performance was conducted by the composer in Paris, on February 3, 1844. This concert overture runs about 10 minutes in performance. Berlioz scored it for 2 flutes, 2 oboes, english horn, 2 clarinets, 4 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 2 cornets, 3 trombones, timpani, percussion (cymbals, 2 tambourines, triangle), and strings.

ography of the Italian Renaissance artist, was a total failure at its premiere in 1838. Much of this owed to the incomprehension and hostility of the Paris Opera House, and the conductor Habeneck in particular. After four disastrous performances, Berlioz addressed the following letter to the director of the Opera: “Sir, I have the honor to inform you that I withdraw my opera Benvenuto Cellini. I am perfectly convinced that you will receive this news with pleasure. I have the honor to be, Sir, your devoted servant, H. Berlioz.” Several years later, to prove that the opera’s fiasco had nothing to do with the quality of his music, Berlioz used some of the material from Benvenuto in a new overture that, conducted by Berlioz himself, had to be encored at the first performance in 1844. In his Memoirs, Berlioz later told how Habeneck had ruined the “saltarello” dance in the opera by conducting it at half the correct tempo. After the success of the same music in the Roman Carnival Overture, Berlioz said to Habeneck: “This is how it ought to go!” to which, Berlioz noted, “he took care to make no reply.” The Roman Carnival quickly became a favorite with audiences, both in France and abroad. Berlioz called the work an ouverture caractéristique, a term that stood for instrumental music with a definite dramatic meaning. Berlioz used two contrasting ideas from the opera. First comes the love duet between Cellini and Teresa — a melody first played by the english horn and then by the violas. The fast section is based on the opera’s carnival chorus. The love duet is preceded by a fast introduction which, after only a few bars, is suddenly interrupted by a general rest. The two themes are then developed in succession; there are numerous surprising changes of key and unexpected pianissimo (“very soft”) sections, in which the orchestral texture suddenly thins out, only to resume with bold brilliance a few moments later. The overture concludes with a fast dance, growing ever more exuberant to the end. —Peter Laki © 2016 Copyright © Musical Arts Association

Violin Concerto, Opus 14 composed 1939
B A R B E R WA S T W E N T Y- N I N E years old when he completed
by
Samuel
BARBER born March 9, 1910 West Chester, Pennsylvania died January 23, 1981 New York City
his Violin Concerto, a year after Toscanini’s performances of the First Essay and Adagio for Strings had catapulted the young composer to fame. The concerto was his first major commission, coming from Samuel Fels, a soap manufacturer and trustee at the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia, Barber’s alma mater. (Barber’s biographer Barbara Heyman writes that the composer later referred to the work in private correspondence as his “concerto del sapone,” or “soap concerto.”) Fels intended the concerto for his adopted son, Iso Briselli, a former child prodigy and a student of the celebrated violinist Carl Flesch. Fels offered Barber $1000, half to be paid in advance and the other half upon completion of the concerto. But things didn’t quite work out between composer and violinist. Briselli raised objections to the last movement of the concerto and asked Barber to make some major changes — which Barber declined to do. As a result, Briselli never played the work that was written for him. In order to defend against charges that the concerto was unplayable, a young student at Curtis, Herbert Baumel, was asked to help. Based on a 1984 interview with Baumel, biographer Heyman gives the following account of what happened: “One afternoon during the autumn of 1939, while Baumel was sitting in the commons room of the Curtis Institute of Music, [pianist] Ralph Berkowitz walked into the room and handed him a pencil manuscript of a violin part without telling him the name of the composer. He was told only that he had two hours in which to learn the music, that the ‘piece should be played very fast,’ and to return ‘dressed up’ and ready to play before a few people. The private performance took place in the studio of Josef Hofmann, where the tension and solemnity of the occasion, as recalled by Baumel, suggested that much was at stake for Barber besides the financial aspects of the commission. . . . Ralph Berkowitz accompanied Baumel, who produced dazzling evidence that the concerto was indeed playable at any tempo. There were ‘bravos’ and the ritualistic tea and cookies. The verdict was that Barber was to be paid the full commission and Briselli had to relinquish his right to the first performance of the work. The trial was based on a performance of the incomplete third movement through rehearsal no. 6, ending abruptly at measure 94.”

I was supposed to be a doctor. I was supposed to go to Princeton. And everything I was supposed to do I didn’t. . . . I was meant to be a composer. Don’t ask me to try to forget this and go play football. Please. —Samuel Barber
If the finale was presented incomplete during Baumel’s demonstration, then no one present could truly get an idea of the concerto’s difficulties, for part of the challenge lies in keeping the momentum going for the entire length of the movement. The need for technical virtuosity so dominates the last movement that some critics have seen little else in it. In fact, many musicians and commentators have repeatedly stated that the finale is the weakest of the concerto’s three movements. On closer look, however, that Presto turns out to be the most harmonically adventurous of the concerto’s movements. THE MUSIC Without so much as a single measure of
The Violin Concerto was Barber’s first major commission, coming from Samuel Fels, a trustee at the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia, Barber’s alma mater. Fels intended the concerto for his adopted son, Iso Briselli, a former child prodigy. But the composer and student did not see eye-to-eye on the concerto — and Briselli never performed it in public.
introduction, the solo violin begins the first movement with a tender melody, played over a gentle orchestral accompaniment. The atmosphere is idyllic, like a sunny summer afternoon in a beautiful garden. The first melody has repeatedly been called “Mozartian” in its purity and perfect equilibrium, but even Mozart didn’t eschew conflict and contrast as much as did Barber. Then the clarinet introduces a second melody (somewhat faster-moving than the first, but equally lyrical). A playful and animated but brief violin passage completes the collection of themes: the three form a happy family whose bliss nothing and no one can perturb. It is interesting that the characteristic clarinet theme is taken over by the soloist only at the very end; this effect is saved for the movement’s ethereal coda. The idyll continues in the Andante second movement. The solo oboe presents a long (and longing) melody, repeated by the cellos. The solo violin enters with more agitated material, leading to a cadenza, after which the violin takes over the opening melody. A brief fortissimo section flares up, before the movement ends on a calm and peaceful chord. The first two movements were written in the summer of 1939, in Sils Maria in the beautiful Engadin Valley of Switzerland. Barber expected to finish the third movement in Europe as well, but, as Heyman writes, “his plans were interrupted . . . when at the end of August all Americans were warned to leave Europe because Cleveland Orchestra Miami 2016-17

At a Glance Barber composed his Violin Concerto in 1939. It was premiered on February 7, 1941, in Philadelphia, with Albert Spalding as soloist and Eugene Ormandy conducting the Philadelphia Orchestra. (Although this was the official premiere, Herbert Baumel had earlier played it with the Curtis Orchestra under Fritz Reiner, and he had also stood in for Spalding at rehearsals with Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra.) Barber revised the concerto in 1949. This concerto runs about 25 minutes in performance. Barber scored it for 2 flutes (second doubling piccolo), 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani, snare drum, piano, strings, and solo violin. The Cleveland Orchestra first performed Barber’s Violin Concerto in April 1942.
of the impending invasion of Poland by the Nazis.” Barber sailed home on September 2, the day after the German invasion, and finished the concerto in the Poconos. It would certainly be wrong to infer any direct links between these circumstances and the concerto’s third movement; in any event, Barber had from the outset planned a finale with “ample opportunity to display the artist’s technical powers.” But the finale movement definitely disrupts the idyll of the first two movements. Despite the steady motion in triplets that represents no small part of the violinist’s challenge, there are more surprises here than ever before. For one thing, after two largely diatonic movements (concentrating on the seven notes of the major or minor scale), the language in the third is chromatic (making use of all 12 pitches in the tonal system). For another, there are some unexpected changes in the meter that throw off the seemingly simple patterns established at the beginning. Furthermore, Barber made the orchestration spicier by adding the snare drum, by ingeniously combining pizzicato (plucked) and arco (bowed) string techniques, and through a more pointillistic use of the woodwind instruments. There is a powerful climax near the end, after which Barber cranks up the tempo even more, replacing triplets with sixteenth-notes for the frantic last 17 measures of the concerto. —Peter Laki © 2016

SHOSTAKOVICH born September 25, 1906 St. Petersburg (later Leningrad) died August 9, 1975 Moscow
the 20th century, Shostakovich’s Fifth has achieved the status of a modern classic. Western audiences have long admired its great dramatic power and melodic richness. But the history of the work and its deeply ambiguous Russian context reveal additional layers of meaning that, more than 75 years after the premiere, we are still learning to understand. Shostakovich wrote the Fifth Symphony in what was certainly the most difficult year of his life. On January 28, 1936, an unsigned editorial in Pravda, the daily paper of the Communist Party, brutally attacked his opera Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District, denouncing it as “muddle instead of music.” This condemnation resulted in a sharp decrease of performances of Shostakovich’s music in the ensuing months. What was worse, Shostakovich, whose first child was born in May 1936, lived in constant fear of further reprisals, denunciations, and . . . possibly even more dire acts. The Communist Party, however, quickly realized that the Soviet Union’s musical life couldn’t afford to lose its greatest young talent, and Shostakovich was granted a comeback. Less than a year after being forced to withdraw his Fourth Symphony, Shostakovich heard his Fifth premiered with resounding success in Leningrad on November 21, 1937. But by that time, it should be noted, the “Great Terror” had begun, with political show trials resulting in numerous death sentences and mass deportations to the infamous labor camps. The Great Terror claimed the lives of some of the country’s greatest artists — including the poet Osip Mandelshtam, the novelist Isaac Babel, and the theater director Vsevolod Meyerhold — but Shostakovich was miraculously spared. Could it be that the qualities in the Fifth Symphony that are so admired today were the very same ones that saved the composer’s life at the time? Shostakovich clearly made a major effort to write a “classical” piece here, one that would be acceptable to the authorities and was as far removed from his avant-garde Fourth Symphony as possible. Whether that makes this new symphony into “A Soviet Artist’s Creative Response to Just Criticism,” as it was officially designated at the time, is another question. The music is so profound and sincere as to transcend any

kind of political expediency. The symphony was, without question, a response to something, but not in the sense of a chastised schoolboy mending his ways. Rather, this is a great artist reacting to the cruelty and insanity of the times.
The Fifth Symphony was, without question, Shostakovich’s response to something. But, with the Soviet government repremanding the composer for his earlier music, we should not think of a chastised schoolboy mending his ways. Rather, here is a great artist reacting to the cruelty and insanity of the times surrounding him.
24
MEANING BEHIND THE MUSIC?
A lot of ink has been spilled over the “meaning” of this symphony. That Shostakovich had a special message to communicate becomes clear at the very beginning, when what would usually be a fast-paced “Allegro” first movement is replaced by a brooding opening that stays in a slow tempo for half its length. (In fact, Shostakovich opened several of his later symphonies — Nos. 6, 8, and 10 — in a similar way, making a habit of avoiding fast first movements.) The third and fourth movements are equally telling, with what seems to be completely transparent memorial music followed by an ambiguously triumphant ending. An official Soviet interpretation of the Fifth Symphony was propounded by the novelist Alexey Tolstoy (a relative of Leo Tolstoy, the author of War and Peace), who, even though he was a royal count, was loyal to the Soviet regime. In an influential article, Alexey Tolstoy viewed the symphony as a kind of musical Bildungsroman — a particular genre of writing that traces a person’s evolution in terms of education, experience, social consciousness, etc. This interpretation was echoed in an oftenquoted article, published under Shostakovich’s name (but most probably not written by him): “The theme of my symphony is the formation of a personality. At the center of the work’s conception I envisioned just that: a man in all his suffering. . . . The symphony’s finale resolves the tense and tragic moments of the preceding movements in a joyous, optimistic fashion.” Yet critics — even Soviet ones — have had a hard time reconciling this with what they actually heard. The famous passage in Testimony, Shostakovich’s purported memoirs as edited (and possibly tampered with) by Solomon Volkov, reflects a radically different view: “It’s as if someone were beating you with a stick and saying, ‘Your business is rejoicing, your business is rejoicing,’ and you rise, shaky, and go marching off, muttering, ‘Our business is rejoicing, our business is rejoicing’.” As musicologist Richard Taruskin has noted, this interpretation was actually shared by many people present at the premiere, who had serious doubts about the “optimism” of the finale. To

some, this emotional ambiguity was a flaw in the work, while others saw it as a sign of a hidden message. On both sides of the political fence, it was felt that the finale did not entirely dispel the devastating effects of the third-movement Largo. As a matter of fact, writing a triumphant finale has never been an easy thing to do, especially after Beethoven managed it so well in his Fifth Symphony. That masterpiece inspired later composers to devote their fifth symphonies to human tragedies on a large scale, as in the case of Tchaikovsky, Mahler, and Sibelius. Yet none of the finales in those symphonies can easily be described as unambiguously “triumphant” as Beethoven’s, a fact that obviously cannot be blamed on politics alone. Rather, it has more to do with the pessimistic side of these composers’ Romantic mindsets and the increasing complexity of the world surrounding them. In Shostakovich’s case, at any rate, politics made an already difficult artistic issue even more complicated. The “meaning” of the music can rarely be put into words, and under normal circumstances, there would be no need to even try. Shostakovich, however, wrote his Fifth Symphony in a context and with a level of public examination far from normal. The Soviet govShostakovich made ernment demanded triumphant optimism in all the arts, international headlines and failure to deliver it could result in severe criticism, or and news with his work as worse. Nevertheless, Shostakovich’s music resists simple a fireman during the siege of Leningrad in 1942 — black-and-white labels. and for the composition The generation that came of age after the backof his Seventh Symphony to-back Russian Revolutions of 1917 (when Shostakovcelebrating the bravery ich was just 11 years old) knew no political reality other of the city's defenders. than Communism.

Yet the government's ideals. by the time of the Stalinist purges of the 1930s, many of the country’s best minds had become profoundly disillusioned, especially in view of the enormous sacrifices in human lives that the Party was trying to pass off as the price of progress. Even though they were facing a horrible situation, they saw no viable political alternatives for their country. Voicing even the slightest dissent with the regime could result in instant deportation, disappearance, or death. This irreconcilable conflict between hopes and realities was a fundamental fact of life. With its ambiguous ending, Shostakovich’s Fifth stands as a gripping Cleveland Orchestra Miami 2016-17

monument to that conflict and all whose voices were silenced by force or threat. THE MUSIC
The symphony’s third movement was widely understood as a memorial for the Soviet Army Marshal Mikhail Tuk hachevsky, who fell victim to Stalin’s “Great Terror” as Shostakovich was writing this symphony. At the first performance, many people wept openly during this movement.

A dramatic and ominous opening motif sets the stage for the Symphony’s first movement; a second theme, played by the violins in a high register, is warm and lyrical but at the same time eerie and distant. The music seems to hesitate for a long time, until the horns begin a march theme that leads to some intense motivic development and a speeding up of the tempo. It is not a funeral march, but neither is it exactly triumphant. Reminiscent perhaps of some of Gustav Mahler’s march melodies but even grimmer, its harmonies modulate freely from key to key, giving this march an oddly sarcastic character. At the climactic moment, the two earlier themes return. The dotted rhythms from the opening are even more powerful than before, but the second lyrical theme, now played by the flute and the horn to the soothing harmonies of the harp, has lost its previous edge and brings the movement to a peaceful, almost otherworldly close. The brief Scherzo second movement brings some relief from the preceding drama. Its Ländler-like melodies again bear witness to Mahler’s influence, both in the Scherzo proper and the ensuing Trio section, whose theme is played by a solo violin and then by the flute. The special tone color of the third movement is due to the absence of brass instruments, as well as to the fact that the violins are divided not into the usual two groups, but into three. This heart-wrenching music turns the march of the first movement into a lament, also incorporating a theme resembling a Russian Orthodox funeral chant. The tension gradually increases and finally erupts about two-thirds of the way through the movement. The opening melody then returns in a rendering that is much more intense than the first time. To the end, the music preserves the unmistakable character of a lament. This movement, marked in the score as Largo (“extremely slow”), was widely understood as a memorial for the Soviet Army Marshal Mikhail Tukhachevsky, who fell victim to the Great Terror at the very time Shostakovich was working on his symphony. (Tukhachevsky had been a benefactor and a personal friend of the composer’s.) At the first performance, many people wept openly during this movement, perhaps thinking of their own loved ones who had disappeared. About the Music
2016-17 Cleveland Orchestra Miami
The last movement attempts to resolve the enormous tension that has built up in the course of the symphony by introducing a march tune that is much more light-hearted than a majority of the earlier themes. Yet after an exciting development, the music suddenly stops on a set of harsh fortissimo chords, and a slower, more introspective section begins with a haunting horn solo. Musicologist Richard Taruskin has shown that this section quotes from a song for voice and piano on a Pushkin poem (“Vozrozhdenie” or “Rebirth,” Opus 46, No.1), which Shostakovich had written just before the Fifth Symphony. The Pushkin poem intones: “Delusions vanish from my wearied soul, and visions arise within it of pure primeval days.” This quiet intermezzo ends abruptly with the entrance of timpani and snare drum, ushering in a recapitulation of the march tune, played at half its original tempo. Merely a shadow of its former self, the melody is elaborated contrapuntally until it suddenly alights on a bright D-major chord in full orchestral splendor — remaining unchanged for more than a minute to end the symphony. —Peter Laki © 2016

The Cleveland Orchestra Under the leadership of Music Director Franz Welser-Möst, The Cleveland Orchestra has become one of the most sought-after performing ensembles in the world, setting standards of artistic excellence, creative programming, and community engagement. In July 2015, the New York Times declared it “the best in America.” The strong and ongoing financial support of the ensemble’s home region is driving the Orchestra forward with renewed energy and focus, increasing the number of young people attending concerts, and bringing fresh attention to the Orchestra’s legendary sound and committed programming. The Cleveland Orchestra has a long and distinguished recording and broadcast history. A series of DVD and CD recordings under the direction of Mr. Welser-Möst continues to add to an extensive and widely praised catalog of audio recordings made during the tenures of the ensemble’s earlier music directors. In addition, Cleveland Orchestra concerts are heard in syndication each season on radio stations throughout North America and Europe. The Cleveland Orchestra was founded in 1918 by a group of local citizens intent on creating an ensemble worthy of joining America’s top rank of symphony orchestras. Over the next decades, the Orchestra grew from a fine regional organization to one of the most admired symphonic ensembles in the world. Seven music directors (Nikolai Sokoloff, 1918-1933; Artur Rodzinski, 1933-1943; Erich Leins dorf, 1943-1946; George Szell, 1946-1970; Lorin Maazel, 1972-1982; Christoph von Dohnányi, 1984-2002; and Franz Welser-Möst, since 2002) have guided and shaped the ensemble’s growth and sound. Touring performances throughout the United States and, beginning in 1957, to Europe and across the globe have confirmed Cleveland’s place among the world’s top orchestras. Today, touring, residencies, radio broadcasts, and recordings provide access to the Orchestra’s music-making to a broad and loyal constituency around the world.
