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

is in his eighth year as Music Director of The Cleveland Orchestra. His long-term commitment extends to the Orchestra’s centennial in 2018. Under his direction, the Orchestra 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 ensemble. Concurrently with his post in Cleveland, Mr. Welser-Möst will become General Music Director of the Vienna State Opera in the fall of 2010.

With committed focus on music education, Mr. Welser-Möst launches a Community Music Initiative during the 2009-10 season, taking The Cleveland Orchestra back into public schools with performances in collaboration with the Cleveland Metropolitan School District. The initiative continues and expands upon Mr. Welser-Möst’s active participation in community concerts and educational programs, including the Cleveland Orchestra Youth Orchestra and in partnerships with universities across Northeast Ohio.

Under Mr. Welser-Möst’s leadership, The Cleveland Orchestra has established an ongoing biennial residency in Vienna at the famed Musikverein concert hall, and at the Lucerne Festival in Switzerland. They have also appeared at the Salzburg Festival, where a 2008 residency included five sold-out performances of a staged production of Dvořák’s opera Rusalka. In the United States, Mr. Welser-Möst has established an annual three-week Cleveland Orchestra Miami Residency in Florida and launches a new biennial residency in 2011 as part of the Lincoln Center Festival.

Artistic highlights of Franz Welser-Möst’s first seven seasons as Music Director in Cleveland featured eleven world and thirteen United States premieres.

Through the Roche Commissions project, he and the Orchestra have premiered works by Harrison Birtwistle, Chen Yi, Hanspeter Kyburz, and George Benjamin in partnership with the Lucerne Festival and Carnegie Hall. In addition, the Daniel R. Lewis Young Composer Fellow program has brought additional new voices to the Orchestra’s repertoire, including Matthias Pintscher, MarcAndré Dalbavie, Susan Botti, Johannes Maria Staud, and Jörg Widmann.

Franz Welser-Möst has led opera performances each season during his tenure in Cleveland. Following six opera-in-concert presentations, he brought P H OTO BY D O N S N Y D E R

fully staged opera back to Severance Hall in 2009 for the first time in decades, leading four sold-out performances of a Zurich Opera production of The Marriage of Figaro. The Mozart/ Da Ponte operas continue at Severance Hall with Così fan tutte in 2009-10 and Don Giovanni in 2010-11.

Franz Welser-Möst was appointed General Music Director Designate of the Vienna State Opera in 2007. He assumes the Directorship with the 2010-11 season. His appearances with the company have included acclaimed performances of Wagner’s Tristan and Isolde and Strauss’s Arabella. During the 2007-08 and 2008-09 seasons, he premiered a new production of Wagner’s Ring cycle in tandem with stage director Sven-Eric Bechtolf.

Recent and upcoming guest-conducting engagements include appearances with the Vienna Philharmonic at the Salzburg Festival, BBC Proms in London, and the Lucerne Festival. He also conducted the Berlin Philharmonic at the 2009 Salzburg Easter Festival. During the 2009-10 season, Mr. Welser-Möst leads additional performances of Wagner’s Ring cycle with the Vienna State Opera, where he also leads performances of Wagner’s Tannhaüser and Parsifal. In Zurich, he leads Strauss’s Die Frau ohne Schatten and Mozart’s Così fan tutte in the spring of 2010.

Mr. Welser-Möst first appeared at the Salzburg Festival in 1985, made his American debut in 1989, and served as music director of the London Philharmonic (1990-96). Across a decade-long tenure with the Zurich Opera, culminating in three seasons as General Music Director (2005-08), Mr. Welser-Möst led the company in more than 40 new productions and numerous revivals. He will continue as a guest conductor at Zurich in future seasons.

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 The Cleveland Orchestra, he has created video recordings of live performances of three Bruckner symphonies and released a recording of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. DVD releases on the EMI label have included Mr. Welser-Möst leading Zurich Opera productions of The Marriage of Figaro, Der Rosenkavalier, La Bohème, Fierrabras, Don Giovanni, 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, honorary membership in the Vienna Singverein, and the appointment as an Academician of the Yutse European Academy Foundation. He is the co-author of Cadences: Observations and Conversations, published in a German edition in 2007.

Perspectivesfrom the Executive Director May 2010 Sold-out halls and artistic success may not seem to go together with red ink. But in the current economy, they do.

In the face of the recession, we have responded with rigorous cost control, but also with innovations to bring The Cleveland Orchestra’s music to a wider audience — at home and in residencies around the world. The Orchestra has been rewarded with enthusiastic audiences and capacity crowds for our new programs. But these successes are not enough to balance the budget, which has been hit hard by declining foundation and corporate funding, and reduced income from the endowment.

Clearly our new programs are getting many things right. Audiences have packed our new Fridays@7 series, which wrapped up with flamenco music and dance after the April 30 concert. Full houses greeted our presentation of Mozart’s opera Così fan tutte in March and many other performances this spring. (Our new website has played a major role, with seat selection and print-at-home tickets driving sales.)

There is more good news. Demand for the Orchestra’s concerts is also robust outside Cleveland. We will make our annual visit to Carnegie Hall in May under Music Director Franz Welser-Möst, followed in August by a tour of European summer festivals, and in November by a residency in Tokyo plus tour performances in Korea.

We are enormously grateful to the thousands of individual donors, corporations, foundations, and volunteers who make all of these concerts possible. As we head into the home stretch of our 2009-10 Annual Fund campaign, we look to all of you with gratitude for your continued generosity.

In particular, I want to thank our Board of Trustees, whose exemplary leadership provides a model for all arts organizations, and our many volunteer fundraisers, whose commitment to the institution is nothing less than inspiring. All of these efforts serve the fiscal health and artistic excellence of the Orchestra, and we appreciate everyone’s unwavering, enthusiastic support.

What we need, and must find now, is the financial support to tie together this package of artistic achievement and economic reality. Please consider making your most generous gift ever to The Cleveland Orchestra. We need everyone’s help to keep this community treasure strong.

OrchestraNews IN MEMORIAM The Cleveland Orchestra family notes with sadness the death last month of Orchestra member Leon Lazarev at the age of 71. He joined the Orchestra in 1985, having previously performed as a member of orchestras in Russia, Austria, and Luxembourg, and with the Seattle Symphony.

Born in Kiev to a musically talented family, Leon began studying the violin at age 6 with his father, a violinist in the Leningrad Philharmonic and founder of the Leontovich String Quartet. His mother was a pianist who played with many prominent soloists.

After further schooling and a degree from the Gnesins’ Academy in Moscow, Leon worked in the Soviet Union, performing as a member of the State Academy Symphony Orchestra and of the Composers’ Union String Quartet. Later, he moved briefly to Vienna and Paris and then to the United States. He taught as a faculty member of the Kharkov Central School of Music and the Music School of Moscow, and at the Rachmaninoff Conservatory in Paris.

Leon met his wife, Lydia, while studying in Moscow; she worked as a pianist and choral conductor. Their son, Vladimir, is also a pianist. Our hearts go out to Leon’s family and friends at the news of his death. His quiet presence and steadfast musicianship will be missed.

Funeral services were held on Tuesday, April 13. Memorial gifts can be made to Cleveland’s Broadway School of Music & the Arts or to the Solon Center for the Arts.

The Cleveland Orchestra

OrchestraNews As part of the Orchestra’s new partnership with Indiana University, a special private “reading rehearsal” was held this month at Severance Hall. Members of The Cleveland Orchestra, under the direction of assistant conductor Tito Muñoz, read through three new pieces

by IU student composers. The session also included a discussion with feedback for each composer on his or her work.

The Cleveland Orchestra’s annual “Star-Spangled Spectacular brought to you by Cuyahoga Arts and Culture” free concert at Public Square takes place this year on Thursday, July 1. Kicking off this summer’s Fourth-ofJuly Weekend, the event marks its 21st anniversary, with more than a million and a half people in attendance over the past two decades.

The Orchestra’s performance, conducted

by Tito Muñoz, features music by John Willams from Star Wars and a special Salute to the Armed Forces. Cleveland native and Grammy-nominated violinist Caroline Goulding will appear as special guest artist, performing Yankee Doodle Variations and Gypsy Dances. The program concludes with Tchaikovsky’s popular “1812” Overture, followed by a scheduled fireworks display cascading over the skyscrapers of Public Square. The concert will be broadcast live at 9:00 p.m. on WCPN (90.3 FM) and WCLV (104.9 FM).

In addition to the concert itself, a free pre-concert festival begins at 5:00 p.m. and features a variety of live musical performances by a diverse lineup of Cleveland musicians on Public Square.

This annual free event is made possible by Cuyahoga Arts and Culture, with additional support from The Cleveland Foundation, Greater Cleveland RTA, Tower City Center, and WVIZ-PBS/ WCPN-90.3 ideastream.

The Cleveland Orchestra

On Saturday, June 5, The Cleveland Orchestra presents a free evening of performances encoring four works given their world premieres during the past decade through the Daniel R. Lewis Young Composer Fellow Program.

New Voices, Heard Again

by Elaine Guregian

STAUD A LITTLE MORE THAN

BOTTI

a decade ago, The Cleveland Orchestra began to commission new symphonic music from young (under-forty) composers through a forward-looking program of music and education endowed by a gift from patrons Jan R. and Daniel R. Lewis. The program added a new layer to the Orchestra’s long tradition of championing new music, this time putting the focus on the up-and-coming generation of composers.

On June 5, the Orchestra celebrates the ongoing Daniel R. Lewis Young Composer Fellow Program with Composers Connect, a free evening of the works commissioned from four of the composers involved in this program over the past decade. (See next page for a complete run-down of the evening.)

Severance Hall 2009-10

DALBAVIE PINTSCHER

Lewis traces his idea for the Young Composer Fellow Program back to the contemporary art that his brother, Peter B. Lewis, began collecting in the mid-1970s — a collection that Dan’s former sister-in-law, Toby Devan Lewis, curated for more than 30 years at the Lewis family’s business, the Cleveland-based Progressive Corporation. Taking the calculated risk of investing in the best ideas of gifted young artists sets the tone for a forward-looking culture, whether you are running an insurance company or an orchestra, Lewis says.

“Some of it turns out to be frivolous, but you end up with great ideas and some great successes. From an institutional standpoint, it is vital to have that as a piece of the culture: a willing-

ness to take risks but doing it with the right people,” Lewis says.

AN EAR FO R VAR I E T Y

One might think that someone who donated $1 million to be used to commission young composers to write pieces for The Cleveland Orchestra would consider himself a bit of an expert on, or at least a connoisseur of, new music.

One would be wrong.

Lewis, the chairman of the Musical Arts Association of Miami, says he has gotten to know some standard repertoire over the years, but that’s about all. Before beginning the Young Composer Fellow program, he had commissioned works by Donald Erb and John Williams for The Cleveland Orchestra. But as he puts it, perhaps too modestly, “I was, and to some degree continue to be, ignorant.”

Tellingly, Lewis keeps his iPod on shuffle mode to play the 11,637 (and counting) selections of classical, rap, alternative, and rock music in his collection. He brushes away any hint of a grand purpose behind his Young Composer Fellow Program, stating simply: “I like variety and I like change — I find it stimulating.”

MULTIPLYI N G THE IM PAC T

Since French composer Marc-André Dalbavie was appointed for the first twoyear term (beginning with the 1998-1999 season), Matthias Pintscher, Cleveland native Susan Botti, Julian Anderson, Johannes Maria Staud, and current appointee Jörg Widmann have all been Young Composer Fellows. (In May 2011, Cleveland Orchestra Principal Flute Josh-

30

DANIEL R. AND JAN R. LE

WIS

ua Smith will give the world premiere of Widmann’s Flute Concerto. ) Not only have the Fellows created new scores. Each composer has exponentially multiplied his or her impact by working with student composers in the region. And Pintscher is developing a relationship with the Orchestra as a conductor, with another visit planned during the 2010-11 season, when he leads his Reflections on Narcissus for cello and orchestra in its first performance by the Orchestra.

One way Lewis would like the program to grow even further is for more young adults to hear the music created through it. “Contemporary music, properly presented, is a crossover opportunity. I think there is an opportunity for the Orchestra to figure out how to bring that product to market, cost-effectively and not necessarily in large ensembles — and to attract a subset of young folks who would find it interesting, in settings that ideally would be seductive and appealing,” he says.

Composers Connect — June 5

The Cleveland Orchestra

SATURDAY JUNE 5 A SECO ND HE AR I NG

The concerts on June 5 give audiences a chance to listen to the commissions again — something that is all too rare for new music, which can suffer from a “heard today, gone tomorrow” syndrome. (How do popular songs become popular? Repetition!)

“With these performances, one thing that is going to be very interesting is to sit back and say, how do these pieces stack up?

It’s a chance for a second listening,” says Lewis.

When The Cleveland Orchestra performs more than one piece by a composer, or gives a work repeated exposure, the audience gets closer to that composer. Jan and Dan Lewis have enjoyed getting to know the young composers selected through the program on a personal level as well, and have traveled to hear their work performed at venues other than Severance Hall. It’s human connections — with patrons, composers, musicians, and administrators — that help drive and cement broad-based support with the Orchestra in the community, Lewis notes.

The Orchestra has a rich history of links to the community, but this is no time to be complacent, Lewis says: “You’ve got to keep building new relationships.” Through the Daniel R. Lewis Young Composer fellowships, new compositions and new human connections will continue to take root, bearing fruit for years to come.

The June 5 performances are presented free as part of the Orchestra’s Community Music Initiative. For further details or to reserve tickets, call (216) 231-1111 or visit clevelandorchestra.com. Ticket availability is limited.

The Cleveland Orchestra

INTRODUCING THE PROGRAM

Heroic Measures THIS CONCERT PROGRAM

embraces two sides of humanity — the heroic and the sordid. To begin, Beethoven’s Coriolan Overture embodies the battles of a heroic Roman. It is brief, poignant music.

In the opera Lulu, Berg held much less admirable instincts under his unforgiving, but profoundly expressive, gaze. He never wrote a symphony, but the nearest he came to such a thing was the Lulu Suite, extracted from an opera and described on its title page as “symphonic pieces.” It is filled with human frailty and excess, runaway passion and death.

Beethoven’s Third Symphony was a breakthrough work for the composer. Here Napoleon was one of Beethoven’s early revolutionary heroes — here he signaled, to himself and the world, that in an iconic painting from 1801 his music would henceforth be inescapably

by Jacques-Louis David entitled personal, expressive, and dramatic. His on“Napoleon Crossing the Alps.” again off-again plan to dedicate this symphony to Napoleon directly reflects the music’s dynamic nature — and its nickname of “Eroica” (meaning “heroic”).

Unlike Beethoven, who was born in Bonn, Alban Berg was Viennese through and through. He was born in the city, died there, and spent almost all his working life there. Beethoven was a mighty presence in the city, and he was often held up by die-hard traditionalists as the true model for all young composers bold enough to venture on to modernist paths.

In his youth, Berg attached himself to all the daring artistic movements that Vienna had to offer in the years leading up to World War I, yet he always held Beethoven in high respect, with Beethoven’s statue on his night table. His Lyric Suite for string quartet owes much to Beethoven’s late quartets.

example of the stormy, knotty Beethoven of the Middle Period than the Coriolan Overture. The furrowed brow and the raging ferocity of legend are here given musical substance. But, rather than see this work as a musical self-portrait, we should more dutifully regard the work as a portrait of Coriolanus, the Roman general who turned against his own city and was persuaded to spare it only by the pleading of his own mother.

Shakespeare’s play provided the tale, but it had been rewritten as a rather stiff German drama by Heinrich von Collin. Beethoven’s overture was not composed to accompany a performance of the play in the theater; it was instead a genuine instrumental drama of a quite new type and the progenitor of the symphonic poem — meant to evoke or comment on the drama in a purely musical way.

The rough, emphatic music represents the warrior Coriolanus, burning with anger against his countrymen, while the gentle, pleading second subject must be his mother, Volumnia; her pleas are clearly received with little patience and only begin to tell when, with utter musical appropriateness, they arrive in the tonic C major toward the end of the work. Coriolanus realizes that by giving in to his mother he has assured his own disgrace and death.

—Hugh Macdonald © 

At a Glance Beethoven composed his overture about Coriolan, a play adapted from Shakespeare’s Coriolanus by Heinrich von Collin, in 1807.

The Cleveland Orchestra first performed the Coriolan Overture in January 1922.

About the Music

It has been heard in the Orchestra’s repertoire rather infrequently since then. The Orchestra last performed it at Severance Hall in 1988 under the direction of Michael Stern, and as part of the 1992 Blossom Festival with Jahja Ling.

A L B A N B E R G ’ S F I R S T O P E R A , Wozzeck, aroused deep controversy when first performed in Berlin in 1925. But it was rapidly taken up by other opera houses, both in Germany and abroad, and it has since become a 20th-century classic.

Berg’s second opera, Lulu, which he started in 1929, had no chance of performance in Germany after the Nazis took power in 1933. Berg had almost completed the draft score at that time and he pressed ahead with orchestrating the opera.

The only way it could be performed, however, would be in the form of symphonic extracts, and so, urged by his publisher, he arranged a suite of five movements in the summer of 1934. This was first performed that November in Berlin under the direction of Erich Kleiber, one of Berg’s most stalwart champions.

Orchestration of the rest of the opera was still incomplete when Berg died at the end of 1935, aged 50, as the result of an insect sting that led to septicemia. The premiere therefore not only had to take place abroad, in Zurich in 1937, but was also limited to only the first two acts. The final act was not made public until 1979, when the full work was heard at the Paris Opéra, conducted by Pierre Boulez.

Lulu has never attained the critical favor accorded to Wozzeck, nor have productions been more than rare. This is partly due to the extraordinary requirements of the score, starting with the role of Lulu herself, who has to have the appeal of an irresistible twenty-year-old prostitute and a coloratura soprano’s range and technique. There is also a large cast of extraordinary characters and some unusual effects, including a film sequence.

The vocal demands on all the singers are unusual, and the music is extremely difficult to sing. The story itself — the cautionary tale of a young woman who traffics in men and murders some of them, being finally herself murdered by Jack the Ripper — is not to everyone’s taste.

The degradation and exploitation of the Lulu story, taken to a higher degree than similar themes in Wozzeck, called for music of extreme intensity, and this is what Berg was uniquely able to supply. He has been called a Romantic Modernist, because he enthusiastically embraced the new language forged by his teacher Schoenberg and applied twelve-note principles in the composition of Lulu with considerable rigor.

time, he never wrote music without a powerful emotional core, so that one is never in doubt as to the tension, mood, or state of mind of the protagonists, and the climaxes have a cathartic effect. No one need know anything about serial technique to grasp the spell of the music, nor is it important to know that Berg was fond of complex contrivances such as the palindromic construction of scenes, or writing the second part of a passage with the music of the first part reversed. The orchestral sound often rests on a bed of familiar chords in the lower instruments, so that even when the upper voices are moving at all angles, the overall effect has an element of familiarity and comfort.

The Lulu Suite does not tell the story of the opera in sequence. Berg called it “symphonic pieces” on the title page of the score. It has sometimes been referred to as a Symphonic Suite, in part perhaps because the first movement is longer and weightier than the others. Berg has transferred the vocal line to a solo instrument such as the saxophone or a trumpet, and sometimes he leaves the vocal line out, with the orchestra carrying the main musical dialogue. A middle movement, omitted at this week’s Severance Hall concerts, features a soprano soloist singing Lulu’s song.

The first movement, Rondo, is a condensation of two scenes in the second act between Lulu and one of her lovers, Alwa, who is also her husband’s son. It begins with Alwa’s entrance and some strong melodic lines in the violins and the alto saxophone. This leads to a climax when Alwa (represented by the vibraphone) confesses “Ich liebe dich . . .” (“I love you . . .”). The second part of the Rondo is the final scene of the act when Lulu, having “accidentally” shot her husband (Alwa’s father), is alone with Alwa, celebrating the couple’s freedom. A surprising held chord of B-flat major precedes their final love scene, with solos for violin and cello. There is a lighter passage marked grazioso followed by the “Hymn” (with pizzicato accompaniment). As the couple settle onto the sofa, Lulu remembers that this is the spot where Alwa’s father bled to death, and the curtain falls heavily.

The Ostinato movement is the forceful and noisy interlude between the two scenes of the second act, constructed as a palindrome around a central pause (vibraphone again, pianSeverance Hall 2009-10

issimo). It was designed to accompany a film showing Lulu’s arrest for the murder of her husband in the first part, and plans for her escape in the second.

The Variations form the interlude between the two scenes of Act Three. The tune is a cabaret song from the 1880s by Frank Wedekind, the author of the plays on which the opera is based (another of Wedekind’s plays is the basis for the recent Broadway musical Spring Awakening). After some swift brass chords, the first variation includes the tune coarsely presented on four horns. In the second, it moves from section to section in heterophony — being played out of sync by different groups.

The third variation is marked funèbre (“funereal”), with long notes on the trombones. The fourth features trumpet, then oboe, then horn, and finally we hear the tune itself as it appears in the opera, representing the barrel organ on a London street where the story comes to its gruesome end.

The Adagio is an abbreviation of the final scene of the opera. Lulu is murdered (offstage) by Jack the Ripper, who also stabs the Countess Geschwitz, Lulu’s lesbian lover, who has come to her aid. The end, like the close of Wozzeck, is abrupt, as if someone has just switched off the music at random.

—Hugh Macdonald ©  At a Glance Berg began composing his opera Lulu in 1929, basing its story on two plays by Frank Wedekind: Erdgeist (“The Earth Spirit”) and Büchse der Pandora (“Pandora’s Box”). He continued work on the opera until his death, at which time some portions of the orchestration for Act Three remained incomplete. In 1934, Berg extracted the five Symphonic Pieces — widely known as the Lulu Suite — from the unfinished opera. The Pieces were premiered in Berlin on November 30, 1934, with the Berlin

State Opera orchestra conducted by Erich Kleiber, with soprano Lili Claus as soloist in the middle movement.

The Lulu Suite runs about 35 minutes in performance — 30 minutes without “Lulu’s Song.” Berg’s score calls for 3 flutes (1 or more doubling piccolo), 3 oboes (1 doubling english horn), 3 clarinets, bass clarinet, alto saxophone, 3 bassoons (1 doubling contrabassoon), 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion (bass drum, cymbals, snare drum, tam-

tams, and triangle), vibraphone (optional), piano, harp, and strings.

The Cleveland Orchestra first presented Berg’s Symphonic Pieces from Lulu in 1964 under the direction of Lukas Foss. The work has been performed on two other occasions, in 1970 and in 1990. Franz Welser-Möst and the Orchestra are performing the suite three times this week, twice at Severance Hall and on Friday, May 21, at Carnegie Hall in New York.

“Beethoven’s Third Symphony is better known as the Eroica, meaning heroic, a title thoroughly befitting what many people consider the greatest symphony ever written. Completed in the spring of 1804, this amazing score contains the very foundations of Romanticism in its grandiose gestures and burgeoning themes, and in its unprecedented scale.”

—The Rough Guide to Classical Music

Bonaparte out, “Heroic” in “In this symphony, Beethoven had Buonaparte in mind, but as he was when he was First Consul. Beethoven esteemed him greatly at the time and likened him to the greatest Roman consuls. I as well as several of his more intimate friends saw a copy of the score lying upon his table with the word ‘Buonaparte’ at the extreme top of the title page, and at the extreme bottom ‘Luigi van Beethoven,’ but not another word. Whether and with what the space between was to be filled out, I do not know. I was the first to bring him the intelligence that Buonaparte had proclaimed himself emperor, whereupon he flew into a rage and cried out: ‘Is he then, too, nothing more than an ordinary human being?

Now he, too, will trample on all the rights of man and indulge only his ambition.

He will exalt himself above all others to become a tyrant!’ Beethoven went to the table, took hold of the title page by the top, tore it in two, and threw it on the floor. The page had to be rewritten, and only then did the symphony receive the title ‘Sinfonia eroica’.”

When Bernard Johnson needed help caring for Jean, his ailing wife, his pastor recommended he call Hospice. At first, Bernard was hesitant.

But in the end, he was glad he did. Because Hospice gave the two the chance to really be together. With the caregiver duties in capable hands, Bernard and Jean spent their time reading from the sacred passages, laughing and talking about their shared passions of music, cooking and of course, the grandkids. At Hospice, we provide a variety of medical and supportive services that help both the patients and family members cope.

as momentous in its impact on history as on hearers of every generation cannot be lightly traced. Yet, for this symphony, two separate impulses seem to have fused in Beethoven’s mind, as in some white-hot cauldron, creating a solid artifact whose effect and power dwarf the mere historical circumstances of its composition.

The first impulse was Beethoven’s admiration for Napoleon as a symbol of human heroism. The idea of basing a symphony on Bonaparte was said to have been suggested by General Bernadotte, the French ambassador to Vienna, with whom Beethoven was certainly acquainted. The story of the title page of the completed symphony, headed “Bonaparte,” being angrily torn up by Beethoven on hearing that Napoleon had crowned himself Emperor is well attested. From what we know of Beethoven’s character, he is more than likely to have drawn a comparison between Napoleon and himself, feeling within him the power to refashion the art of music as comprehensively as Napoleon was redrawing the map of Europe.

The second impulse was personal. In October 1802, Beethoven drew up the extraordinary document known as the Heiligenstadt Testament, in which he calmly acknowledged the likely permanence of his deafness and less calmly bequeathed his earthly goods to his two brothers. But for his art, he admits, he would have ended his own life: “It seemed impossible to leave the world until I had brought forth all that I felt was within me.” Since his Third Symphony, the “Eroica,” was already planned and was to preoccupy him throughout the summer of 1803, it may be said to have saved his life — as though music itself achieves its own triumphs over human frailty, a theme suggested in the splendor of the Third Symphony’s finale, and even more affirmatively in the Fifth Symphony.

After the “Eroica,” Beethoven’s music was irretrievably changed. Great landscapes were opened up, which he spent the rest of his life exploring, but at the same time the sense of primal beauty — which is more perfectly expressed in Beethoven’s early works than in any other music, even Mozart — was lost.

Beethoven’s gift of flowing, elegant melody was now swamped

At a Glance Beethoven composed his Third Symphony between 1802 and 1804. He conducted the first performance at a private concert in the home of Prince Lobkowitz, to whom the work is dedicated, in December 1804.

The first public performance took place at the Theateran-der-Wien on April 7, 1805, again with the composer conducting.

This symphony runs about 50 minutes in performance. Beethoven scored it for 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 3 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani, and strings.

The Cleveland Orchestra first performed Beethoven’s “Eroica” Symphony in October 1920, under Nikolai Sokoloff ’s direction. Most recently, it was performed in November 2008 under the direction of Herbert Blomstedt.

The Cleveland Orchestra has recorded Beethoven’s Third three times: in 1957 with George Szell, in 1977 with Lorin Maazel, and in 1983 with Christoph von Dohnányi.

by the relentless dynamic energy of the heroic Middle Period.

His orchestration became heavier, his movements longer, and the domestic quality of his music was transformed into great idealism, on the one hand, and profound inner searching, on the other.

Not just Beethoven’s music was changed, all music was irretrievably changed. The 18th century was chronologically and culturally buried, and pre-Romantic civilization left for modern archaeology to uncover. Music was henceforth inescapably personal, expressive, and dramatic, and earlier music, no matter what its origins, was now interpreted in the new way.

The conventions of listening and interpretation that Beethoven forced on his Viennese audiences are with us still today.

Not all those early listeners found the Third Symphony agreeable. In 1805, everyone was struck by its great length, while many found it headed in the wrong direction. “His music,” wrote one critic, “could soon reach the point where one would derive no pleasure from it, unless well trained in the rules and difficulties of the art, but rather would leave the concert hall with an unpleasant feeling of fatigue from having been crushed by a mass of unconnected and overloaded ideas and a continuous tumult from all the instruments.” Another writer confessed that he found in the new symphony “too much that is glaring and bizarre,” turning at once to a symphony by Anton Eberl (a composer now largely forgotten) that gave him more pleasure.

The strength of the “Eroica” is surely that it challenges us to see new significance and new meaning in it at every performance. Those who predicted that it would take centuries before it was fully understood may have been right.

The first movement adopts the key and melodic language of Mozart’s Symphony No. 39, but expands it on an immense scale; both development and coda are hugely extended. Unlike the Mozart symphony, it has no slow introduction, but is prefaced by two robust chords of E-flat major, like an affirmation of solidity and strength with the sort of finality one expects to find at the end of a movement, not the beginning. A movement in 3/4 meter allows rich opportunities for cross-rhythms and cross-accents, of which Beethoven takes full advantage, sometimes laying the stress on the second rather than the first beat of the measure, sometimes leaving the first beat silent, and at moments of greatest tension hammering out dissonant chords About the Music

The Cleveland Orchestra

at two-beat intervals as if to deny the movement’s basic pulse altogether. At other times, the music glides effortlessly along, even if distant storms are never far over the horizon, and the movement ends with the same two solid chords with which it had opened.

The second movement, an awesome funeral march, is somber and processional in the minor key, drawing an intense sound from the strings that would have been unimaginable in the previous century. The major key pierces the tragedy with the winds, led off by the oboe, unfolding a noble melody which reaches a strong climax before returning to the march. A fugal episode generates enormous power, and the desolate ending is beyond words.

Even the third-movement Scherzo, in which Beethoven would normally settle for a lighter mood, finds extraordinary dynamic strength, and its Trio section puts the three horns on display (when just two horns would previously have been normal in a symphonic work like this).

It is typical of Beethoven that in a work of such high seriousness he finds room for his incessant humor. It sometimes makes you wonder if he was serious at all. The well-known moment at the first movement’s recapitulation, when the horn apparently makes a false entry comes across as a well-intended joke. So too is the portentous rush of notes (in the wrong key) at the beginning of the fourth-movement finale, leading not to a weighty thematic declaration, but to a simple, almost inane, bass line bereft of theme, which acts as an expectant anticipation of the main theme. When the theme does arrive, it turns out to be no more than a dance tune of surpassing obviousness borrowed from the ballet The Creatures of Prometheus, which Beethoven had written just a couple of years earlier. Ballet music! Just as we start to wonder how he could have sunk so low, the music becomes fugal, then dramatic, then aggressive, then elegiac, then massively grand and conclusive. Once again, Beethoven has outwitted his listeners by the sheer power of his invention. Keeping pace with his thought processes is an exhausting, but happily inexhaustible, occupation.

With his Third Symphony, not just Beethoven’s music was changed, all music was irretrievably changed. The 18th century was chronologically and culturally buried, and pre-Romantic civilization left for modern archaeology to uncover.

H I J K L M N systems, she reserved for the next set of visits.) The Juilliard School graduate tackled the word by showing students how all of the parts of a violin work together. Using an unvarnished model from Cleveland Violins, she assembled the parts before their eyes.

In a little “air violin” demo, where Shook pretended to play on the strings without a bow, she made her point that you can’t make sound without both the bow and the strings working together.

Shook, a member of The Cleveland Orchestra since 2001, divided students into two groups — “composers” and “audience” — explaining how they are interdependent in a performance setting. The composers called out letters of their choice (A through G only, matching the notes of the musical scale) to create a melody, and then voted to determine whether the melody should be happy or sad (major or minor), fast or slow, loud or soft. After a little practice, Shook then assumed the role of the performer, responsible for interpreting the melody of the classroom composers and bringing their music to life.

And about that die?

Shook made a list of the elements of music. Melody, harmony, rhythm, tempo, dynamics, articulation. She assigned each a number, one through six. Then students took turns throwing the die. (Shook didn’t have to ask twice for volunteers from these kids.)

When someone rolled, say, a three (rhythm), Shook went back to the music that she had played at the beginning Severance Hall 2009-10

of the session and removed the element of rhythm, playing each note for the same amount of time.

Without any rhythmic variety, the music was a little boring, right? Yes, the students agreed. With each example that Shook played, they had more ways to see and hear that all of the elements of music are interdependent.

Shook, who is a stepmother to three children, had a relaxed rapport with the kids. Her performance of a snappy Scott Joplin rag got these students clapping along.

The West Virginia native offered a little non-academic advice, too. “Anybody here play Hangman?” she asked. “OK, next time you play, use the word rhythm.

It gets them every time!”

When Shook returns to the two Mayfair classrooms, she’ll expand the idea of interdependence into how orchestras are like ecosystems in nature.

All in all, musicians from The Cleveland Orchestra are making 150 classroom visits to partner schools this year as part of the Learning Through Music program.

The Cleveland Orchestra

Meet Ollie Emerson Cleveland Orchestra Trustee, Heritage Society member, and Heritage Society ambassador on WCLV How many years have you been attending Orchestra concerts?

I joined the Board in October 1969 — back in the George Szell days. And Mary and I were probably attending concerts at least five or ten years prior to that. . . . So for at least 50 years.

Your favorite composers?

My favorite two composers are Mahler and Brahms.

Your most memorable concerts?

Christoph von Dohnányi’s return concert two years ago conducting Schuman’s Fourth and Beethoven’s Third.

And, in Ollie’s own words, from his WCLV invitation to Orchestra lovers everywhere . . .

Hi there. I’m Ollie Emerson and I’m one of the world’s biggest fans of The Cleveland Orchestra. That’s why Mary and I established our charitable gift annuities with the Orchestra. In addition to receiving fixed income payments for the rest of our lives at a very attractive rate of return, we also received a charitable tax deduction in the year of our gift. And part of our income payments are tax free. The best part though, is that we’re supporting our great Cleveland Orchestra. We encourage all Cleveland Orchestra fans to support the Orchestra through the gift annuity program.

The lotus blossom is the symbol of the Heritage Society.

It represents eternal life and recognizes the permanent benefits of legacy gifts to The Cleveland Orchestraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s endowment.

Said to be Elisabeth Severanceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite flower, the lotus is found as a decorative motif in nearly every public area of Severance Hall.

The Cleveland Orchestra

Meet Margaret Mitchell Cleveland Orchestra Heritage Society Co-Chair, member, and Heritage Society ambassador on WCLV How many years have you been attending Orchestra concerts?

Bill and I have been going to Orchestra concerts ever since we were married and came to Cleveland — sixty years.

We spent many family summer evenings at Blossom when our children were young.

Your favorite composer?

I really love the ability of the Orchestra to play any music well, so I have to say I like whatever the Orchestra plays.

But Mahler and Bruckner are classical favorites; Ives and Adams, among more recent composers.

Your most memorable concerts?

Because of the different venues, Dvořák’s “New World” Symphony in old Lucerne; Shostakovich in Miami. Prokofiev’s Fifth Symphony — the final movement encore in the Canary Islands. It’s difficult to pick out a favorite at Severance. I love most all of them.

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

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

— the superb concerts.

— the talented orchestra musicians who contribute much to our community and represent us so well around the world.

— the education programs building future audiences.

These are some of the reasons we created a planned gift, securing lifelong income for us. It also makes sense for the Orchestra, helping to build the endowment.

We want The Cleveland Orchestra that we love to enrich the lives of our children and grandchildren as it has for us. With your own planned gift, please join us as proud members of the Heritage Society.

To learn how you can become a member of the Heritage Society, contact Jim Kozel, Director of Legacy and Planned Giving, by calling 216-231-7549 or via email at jkozel@clevelandorchestra.com or go to clevelandorchestra.com and click on Support, then Heritage Society THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA

Legacy & Planned Giving

Seat Endowments

funds established as of March 2010

The Cleveland Orchestra invites you to take a seat at Severance Hall or Blossom Music Center . . .

The Cleveland Orchestra’s seat endowment program began in 1978 as a project of the Blossom Women’s Committee for the Blossom Pavilion. In conjunction with the Orchestra’s 60th Anniversary the following year, seat endowments for Severance Hall were inaugurated by the Women’s Committee of The Cleveland Orchestra.

Endowing a seat is a unique and meaningful way to honor someone’s love for The Cleveland Orchestra and its role in our community. Seat endowments help ensure the Orchestra’s financial stability for future generations of school children and concertgoers.

Each seat endowment gift is recognized by a nameplate affixed to the seat, associating the donor’s name with The Cleveland Orchestra. For information on how to endow a seat at Severance Hall, Reinberger Chamber Hall, or Blossom Music Center, please call Jim Kozel, Director of Legacy Giving, at (216) 231-7549.

Annual Fund Campaign THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA

Annual Fund Campaign

Giving Societies annual gifts as of April 10, 2010

Annual Fund donors who give $2,500 or more each year become members of the Crescendo Leadership giving societies and serve the art of music at the highest levels of excellence. These generous contributions support outstanding performances, an array of targeted educational activities, residencies, touring, and innovative community programs.

Each Society is named to honor a person or group who have played vital roles in the Orchestra’s history. The Founders Society honors founding manager Adella Prentiss Hughes and other community leaders from the early 20th century. The Presidents Society is named to honor the past presidents of the Musical Arts Association, who have guided the Orchestra with exceptional vision and leadership. The George Szell Society is named after the Orchestra’s fourth music director, who served for twenty-four seasons from 1946 to 1970, solidifying Cleveland’s reputation for artistic excellence through tours and recordings, and the creation of Blossom Music Center. The John L. Severance Society honors the man whose generosity is most responsible for the construction of the Orchestra’s permanent home, who served as the Orchestra’s president from 1921 to 1936.

Leadership Council The Leadership Council salutes those extraordinary donors who have pledged to sustain their annual giving at the highest level for three years or more. These donors are recognized throughout our Annual Fund listings with the Leadership Council symbol next to their name:

Individual gifts to the Annual Fund are an integral part of bridging the gap for the Orchestra’s annual operations.

Because ticket revenues provide less than 50% of the annual funding needed, we are grateful to all our patrons who make annual gifts. Listings of all donors of $300 and more each year are published in the Orchestra’s Annual Report, which can be viewed online at CLEVELANDORCHESTRA.COM For information about how you can play a supporting role for The Cleveland Orchestra’s artistic excellence and community partnerships, please contact our Philanthropy & Advancement Office by calling (216) 231-7545.

of the world’s most beautiful concert halls, Severance Hall has been home to The Cleveland Orchestra since its opening on February 5, 1931. After that first concert, a Cleveland 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 Association, 1921-1936) and his wife, Elisabeth, donated most of the funds necessary to erect this magnificent building. Designed by Walker & Weeks, its elegant HAILED AS ONE

Georgian exterior was constructed to harmonize with the classical architecture of other prominent buildings in the University Circle area. The interior of the building reflects a combination of design styles, including Art Deco, Egyptian Revival, Classicism, and Modernism. An extensive renovation, restoration, and expansion of the facility was completed in January 2000. In addition to serving as the home of The Cleveland Orchestra for concerts and rehearsals, the building is rented by a wide variety of local organizations and private citizens for performances, meetings, and gala events each year.

of Music Director Franz Welser-Möst, The Cleveland Orchestra has become one of the most sought-after performing ensembles in the world. In concerts at its winter home at Severance Hall and at each summer’s Blossom Festival, in residencies from Miami to Vienna, and on tour around the world, The Cleveland Orchestra sets standards of artistic excellence, creative programming, and community engagement.

The Cleveland Orchestra’s educational programs, a cornerstone of the Orchestra’s original mission, have introduced nearly four million Clevelandarea schoolchildren to symphonic music since 1918. During the 2009-10 season, the Orchestra launches a Community Music Initiative that begins with orchestral performances led by Franz Welser-Möst in Cleveland Metropolitan School District public schools. Designed to provide greater access to orchestral music for more of Northeast Ohio’s citizens than ever before, the Community Music Initiative introduces new programs throughout the year for students of all ages. The season closes in June 2010 with a free retrospective concert celebrating the tenth anniversary of the Daniel R. Lewis Young Composer Fellow program, featuring new works created through this ongoing program.

The partnership with Franz Welser-Möst, now in its eighth season, has earned The Cleveland Orchestra unprecedented residencies in the United States and in Europe, including one at the Musikverein in Vienna, the first of its kind by an American orchestra. The Orchestra returned to Vienna during the 2009-10 season for its fourth Musikverein Residency as part of a ten-concert tour. The Orchestra regularly appears at European festivals, including an ongoing series of biennial residencies at the Lucerne Festival (featuring Roche Commissions, a project involving the Orchestra, the Festival, and Carnegie Hall). In the United States, Mr. Welser-Möst and the Orchestra have toured from coast to coast, including regular appearances at Carnegie Hall, and in January 2007 began an unprecedented long-term residency project in Miami, Florida, where they perform annually at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County and provide a wide array of community and educational activities. In addition, the Orchestra has announced plans to begin residencies at Indiana University and at New York’s Lincoln Center Festival.

The Cleveland Orchestra was founded in 1918 by a group of local citizens intent on creating an ensemble worthy of joining America’s ranks of symphony orchestras. Over the next decades, the Orchestra grew from a fine regional organization to being one of the most admired symphonic enUNDER THE LEADERSHIP

sembles in the world. Seven music directors (Nikolai Sokoloff 1918-33, Artur Rodzinski 1933-43, Erich Leinsdorf 1943-46, George Szell 1946-70, Lorin Maazel 1972-82, Christoph von Dohnányi 1984-2002, and Franz Welser-Möst from 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. Year-round performances became a reality with the first Blossom Festival in 1968, presented at an award-winning, purpose-built outdoor facility located just south of the Cleveland metropolitan area near Akron, Ohio. Today, touring, residencies, radio broadcasts, and recordings available by internet download and on DVD and CD provide access to the Orchestra’s music-making to a broad and loyal constituency around the world.
