Perspectivesfrom the Executive Director March 2013 Many of you will have seen recent press coverage of this season’s record-breaking sales revenues and the growing presence of young audience members here at Severance Hall. The news is encouraging for the Orchestra and all of Northeast Ohio. The Plain Dealer’s front-page coverage in January noted that The Cleveland Orchestra “is seeing attendance and ticket revenue skyrocket, mostly as a result of new programs aimed at children and students.” In an editorial, Crain’s Cleveland Business wrote that the Orchestra “deserves bravos for the hard work it and its supporters have done to secure the future of this ensemble of skilled musicians, who together remain the city’s most visible global ambassadors.” These are important steps toward a bright future, and much of the credit belongs to the staff who work tirelessly in the service of our patrons and artists. This team of dedicated professionals works behind the scenes every day to ensure that what happens offstage matches the unsurpassed excellence of the music-making onstage. Staff members (listed on pages 62- 63 of this book) focus their energies to plan and produce, manage and market hundreds of performances, educational programs, and patron events annually. The planning begins years in advance. Every event — at home in Northeast Ohio and on the road — involves scores of decisions and details that begin to take shape at least three years in advance. In the past several weeks, we have announced the 2013 Blossom Music Festival and 2013-14 season at Severance Hall, after completing months of preparation and finalizing details. At the same time, the programming for 2014-15 is being discussed and decided, while conductors and soloists are being booked for 2015-16. For every rehearsal, performance, program, and event, Severance Hall and Blossom must be prepared to ensure an efficient and comfortable experience for the artists onstage and for you in the audience. From cleaning and climate control to program books and box office, from finance and food service to payroll and parking, every detail is important. And these days, as we diversify our activities in Northeast Ohio, staff members throughout the institution are coordinating an increasingly complex puzzle of programming, people, and partnerships. Fundraising is an essential part of the equation, requiring not only that we ask for your support, but that we earn your support, and that genuine and grateful thanks are extended to each and every donor. Simultaneously, the infrastructure of the institution must be attended to, including the maintenance and management of Severance Hall’s physical plant, of the organization’s computer systems, and the Orchestra’s array of equipment, instruments, and music library. The success of this season — and of future seasons in the months and years to come — is the result of hard work by many hands. I hope you will join me in expressing gratitude to all the dedicated staff members for everything they do, for helping to make The Cleveland Orchestra the very best right here in Northeast Ohio.

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 partnership with Franz Welser-Möst, now in its eleventh season — and with a commitment to the Orchestra’s centennial in 2018 — has moved the ensemble forward with a series of new and ongoing initiatives, including: UNDER THE LEADERSHIP

the establishment of residencies around the world, fostering creative artistic growth and an expanded financial base, including an ongoing residency at the Vienna Musikverein (the first of its kind by an American orchestra); expansion of education and community programs in Northeast Ohio to make music an integral and regular part of everyday life for more people; the 2012-13 season includes the launch of an annual Neighborhood Residency pro-

gram that will bring The Cleveland Orchestra to neighborhoods across the region for an intensive week of special activities and performances. First stop is the Gordon Square Arts District in Cleveland’s Detroit/Shoreway neighborhood in May 2013; an ongoing residency in Florida, under the name Cleveland Orchestra Miami, involving an annual series of concerts and community activities, coupled with an expansive set of educational presentations and collaborations (based on successful educational programs pioneered at home in Cleveland); creative new artistic collaborations, including staged works and chamber music performances, with arts institutions in Northeast Ohio and in Miami; an array of new concert offerings (including Fridays@7 and Celebrity Series at Severance Hall as well as movie, themed, and family presentations at Blossom) to make a wider variety of concerts more available and affordable; concert tours from coast to coast in the United States, including annual appearances at Carnegie Hall; regular concert tours to Europe and Asia; ongoing recording activities, including new releases under the direction of Franz Welser-Möst, Mitsuko Uchida, and Pierre Boulez, as well as a series of DVD concert presentations of symphonies by Anton Bruckner; a concentrated and ongoing effort to develop future generations of audiences for Cleveland Orchestra concerts in Northeast Ohio, through research, targeted discounts, social media offers and promotion, and student ticket programs; continuing and expanded educational partnerships with schools, colleges, and universities across Northeast Ohio and in the Miami-Dade community; additional new residencies at Indiana University and at New York’s Lincoln Center Festival; the return of ballet as a regular part of the Orchestra’s presentations, featuring performances by The Joffrey Ballet; the 2012-13 season featured the Orchestra’s first fully staged performances of Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker. 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 major symphony orchestras. Over the ensuing decades, the Orchestra quickly grew from a fine regional organization to being one of the most admired symphony orchestras in the world. The opening in 1931 of Severance Hall as the Orchestra’s home brought a special pride to the ensemble and its hometown, as well as providing an enviable and intimate acoustic environment in which to develop and refine the Orchestra’s artistry. Year-round performances became a reality in 1968 with the opening of Blossom Music Center, one of the most beautiful and acoustically admired outdoor concert facilities in the United States.

T H E 2 0 1 2 - 1 3 S E A S O N marks Franz Welser-Möst’s eleventh year as music director of The Cleveland Orchestra, with a long-term commitment extending to the Orchestra’s centennial in 2018. Under his direction, the Orchestra is acclaimed for its continuing artistic excellence, is enlarging and enhancing its community programming at home, is presented in a series of ongoing residencies in the United States and Europe, continues its historic championship of new composers through commissions and premieres, and has re-established itself as an important operatic ensemble. Concurrently with his post in Cleveland, Mr. Welser-Möst became general music director of the Vienna State Opera in September 2010. With a committed focus on music education in Northeast Ohio, Franz Welser-Möst has taken 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 partnerships with music conservatories and 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 another at Switzerland’s Lucerne Festival. Together, they have appeared in residence at Suntory Hall in Tokyo, Japan, and at the Salzburg Festival, where a 2008 residency included five sold-out performances of a staged production of Dvořák’s opera Rusalka. In the United States, Mr. Welser-Möst has established an annual multi-week Cleveland Orchestra residency in Florida under the name Cleveland Orchestra Miami and, in 2011, launched a new biennial residency at New York’s Lincoln Center Festival. To the start of this season, The Cleveland Orchestra has performed fourteen world and fifteen United States premieres under Franz Welser-Möst’s direction. Through the Roche Commissions project, he and the Orchestra have premiered works by Harrison Birtwistle, Chen Yi, Hanspeter Kyburz, George Benjamin, Toshio Hosokawa, and Matthias Pintscher in partnership with the Lucerne Festival and Carnegie Hall. In addition, the Daniel R. Lewis Young Composer Fellow program has brought new voices to the repertoire, including Pintscher, Marc-André Dalbavie, Susan Botti, Julian Anderson, Johannes Maria Staud, Jörg Widmann, and Sean Shepherd. Franz Welser-Möst has led a series of opera performances during his tenure

Music Director

in Cleveland, re-establishing the Orchestra as an important operatic ensemble. Following six seasons of opera-in-concert presentations, he brought fully staged opera back to Severance Hall with a three-season cycle of Zurich Opera productions of the MozartDa Ponte operas. He led concert performances of Strauss’s Salome at Severance Hall and at Carnegie Hall in May 2012. Franz Welser-Möst became general music director of the Vienna State Opera in 2010. His long partnership with the company has included acclaimed performances of Tristan and Isolde, a new production of Wagner’s Ring cycle with stage director SvenEric Bechtolf, and critically praised new productions of Hindemith’s Cardillac and Janáček’s Katya Kabanova and From the House of the Dead. During the 2012-13 season, his Vienna performances include Wagner’s Parsifal, Strauss’s Arabella and Ariadne auf Naxos, Puccini’s La Bohème, and Berg’s Wozzeck. Mr. Welser-Möst also maintains an ongoing relationship with the Vienna Philharmonic. Recent performances with the Philharmonic include appearances at the Lucerne Festival and Salzburg Festival, in Tokyo, and in concert at La Scala Milan, as well as leading the Philharmonic’s 2011 New Year’s Day concert, viewed by telecast in seventy countries worldwide; he conducted the New Year’s Day concert again at the start of 2013 and also leads the Philharmonic in a series of concerts at New York’s Carnegie Hall in March 2013. 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. 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 DVD recordings of live performances of Bruckner symphonies, presented in three acoustically distinctive venues (the Abbey of St. Florian in Austria, Vienna’s Musikverein, and Severance Hall). With Cleveland, he has also released a recording of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony as well as an all-Wagner album featuring soprano Measha Brueggergosman. DVD releases on the EMI label have included Mr. Welser-Möst leading Zurich Opera productions of The Marriage of Figaro, Così fan tutte, Don Giovanni, Der Rosenkavalier, Fierrabras, and Peter Grimes. For his talents and dedication, Mr. Welser-Möst has received honors that include recognition from the Western Law Center for Disability Rights, honorary membership in the Vienna Singverein, appointment as an Academician of the European Academy of Yuste, a Gold Medal from the Upper Austrian government for his work as a cultural ambassador, a Decoration of Honor from the Republic of Austria for his artistic achievements, and the Kilenyi Medal from the Bruckner Society of America. He is the co-author of Cadences: Observations and Conversations, published in a German edition in 2007.

founding of our society,” says Welser-Möst. “Political and social freedom is presented so emotionally and clearly in Beethoven’s music. By listening to the music of Beethoven and Shostakovich in juxtaposition, we can experience their ideas of freedom from different eras, yet from today’s perspective.” Franz Welser-Möst continues an emphasis on operatic and choral repertoire in the 201314 season, with the Cleveland premiere performances of Janáček’s opera The Cunning Little Vixen and performances of Beethoven’s Mass in C major and Britten’s Spring Symphony. Soprano Martina Janková returns to perform the title role in The Cunning Little Vixen in May 2014. The cast also includes bass-baritone Alan Held and mezzo-sopranos Jennifer Johnson Cano and Julie Boulianne. The music of Brahms will be featured in

FIVE BEETHOVEN PIANO CONCERTOS Across the season, the Orchestra presents all five of Beethoven’s piano concertos, performed by varying artists and conductors. Leon Fleisher, the Orchestra’s new artist-in-residence for the 2013-14 season, returns to appear with the Orchestra for the first time since 2003, making his Severance Hall conducting debut. He leads a program including Beethoven’s Piano Concertos Nos. 2 and 3 with Mitsuko Uchida as soloist. Mr. Fleisher has appeared with the Orchestra in 70 concerts, beginning with his Cleveland Orchestra debut in October 1946. He made his conducting debut with the Orchestra in 1978. Mr. Fleisher recorded the complete Beethoven Piano Concerto cycle with George Szell and The Cleveland Orchestra in the 1950s and ’60s. As artist-in-residence, Mr. Fleisher will present a piano masterclass during the 2013-14 season. The position of artist-in-residence is made possible by the Malcolm E. Kenney Artist-in-Residence Fund. Mitsuko Uchida has appeared annually with the Orchestra since 2002 (including a term as artist-in-residence). Her 2009 recording of Mozart’s Piano Concertos Nos. 23 and 24 with The Cleveland Orchestra won a Grammy Award. Radu Lupu performs Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 4 under the direction of Franz Welser-Möst in a program in January 2014. In the opening concert program of the season in September 2013, Hélène Grimaud performs Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 5 (“Emperor”) under the direction of guest conductor Fabio Luisi.

BENJAMIN BRITTEN COMMEMORATION During the 2013-14 season, The Cleveland Orchestra will mark the 100th anniversary commemoration of Benjamin Britten’s birth. Born November 22, 1913, Britten is one of the most celebrated and most performed British composers. In March 2014, Franz Welser-Möst conducts Britten’s Spring Symphony, a large work with soloists and chorus that Britten described as “a symphony not only dealing with the Spring itself but with the progress of Winter to Spring and the reawakening of the earth and life which that means.” In October 2013, Marek Janowski leads

Wigglesworth has been commissioned to create a new work to be premiered by the Orchestra in the 2014-15 season. The United States premiere of his Sternenfall will be conducted by Franz WelserMöst in March 2014. Wigglesworth will also participate in rehearsals, masterclasses, and educational activities serving the Northeast Ohio community. The Daniel R. Lewis Young Composer Fellow program began in 1998. Works by the composers are commissioned by The Cleveland Orchestra through the Young Composers Endowment Fund, which was es-

tablished by a $1 million gift from Jan R. and Daniel R. Lewis. Mr. Lewis is the chairman of the Miami Music Association, which supports Cleveland Orchestra Miami. British composer Ryan Wigglesworth was appointed composer-in-residence at English National Opera in 2012. His orchestral song cycle Augenlieder was awarded the vocal prize at the 2010 British Composer Awards. His recent Violin Concerto, written for Gordan Nikolic and the Netherlands Chamber Orchestra, was premiered in Amsterdam in 2012. Current projects include a song cycle for tenor Mark Padmore, an orchestral work to mark the centenary of Benjamin Britten’s birth for the Aldeburgh Festival, and a full-scale opera for English National Opera.

THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA

The George Gund Foundation awarded a $3 million grant at its February board meeting to support The Cleveland Orchestra’s Sound for the Centennial Campaign. Pledged over six years, the award honors the late George Gund III, who was a trustee of the Musical Arts Association. The Foundation’s commitment permanently endows a new Fund for Artistic Excellence in George Gund’s name, providing immediate support for the Orchestra’s core artistic programming for the community. “This commitment to the Campaign not only celebrates George Gund’s legacy and leadership at the Orchestra,” said David Abbott, the Foundation’s executive director. “It also ensures that one of our community’s most valuable assets can continue to serve Northeast Ohio at the

highest levels of artistic excellence.” George Gund III was elected as an international trustee in 1994 and served on the board of the Musical Arts Association for 19 years. The new gift is the largest gift made by the Gund Foundation to The Cleveland Orchestra, and ranks among the largest institutional leadership commitments to the Sound for the Centennial Campaign thus far, as well as among the Foundation’s largest commitments to a cultural organization in Northeast Ohio. The Orchestra’s Sound for the Centennial Campaign runs through the Orchestra’s centennial in 2018 and will ensure that the Orchestra can continue to thrive now and into the future by building a significant endowment and providing immediate support for artistic excellence and community and education programs.

INTRODUCING THE PROGRAM

Tales for Day & Night

T H I S W E E K ’ S P R O G R A M features two contrasting works from the first decade of the 20th century. Ravel’s Mother Goose was originally conceived as a set of piano pieces, as a gift from the composer for the children of friends in Paris. The pieces were too difficult for these youngsters to perform, however, and the world premiere of the piano duet was played by two even younger (but more musically gifted) children in 1910. The next year, Ravel expanded and orchestrated the work as a ballet score, creating a storyline based loosely on some of the widely-known and beloved fairytales published under the rubric of Mother Goose. In this score, Ravel’s keen sense of musicality and his intense abilities to color sounds as an orchestrator shine through. After intermission, the concert continues with Mahler’s enigmatic Seventh Symphony. This big, sprawling work features five contrasting movements built around two that the composer titled Night Music I and II (movements 2 and 4). In these, Mahler combines the musical moods of a nocturne with a serenade. Night Music II, feeling very much like a song, features parts for two instruments unusual in a symphony, guitar and mandolin. Throughout, night and darkness are given as a sense of power and life, rather than evil and forboding. In the middle comes a Scherzo of shadows, and at the end, catching many listeners by surprise, is a joyful, anxious movement happily built in the key of C major (and including allusions to Offenbach’s “Can-Can” and Wagner’s MeisterGUSTAV MAHLER singer). All in all, an evening of musical wonSilhouette by Hans Schliessmann der and depth, simplicity and daring.

Following the instructions of his doctors, Pierre Boulez reluctantly withdrew from his scheduled appearances with The Cleveland Orchestra for this weekend. Alan Gilbert, music director of the New York Philharmonic, has graciously agreed to step in to lead these concerts. The musical selections remain as originally announced.

possessed a peculiar gift for evoking what he called “the poetry of childhood.” Much as dance is a guiding thread through several of his most important compositions, themes involving childlike fantasy also recur again and again across his musical works. Both aspects — childhood and dance — converge in the orchestral music inspired by selected fairy-tales from Ma Mère l’Oye (“Mother Goose”). Ravel initially conceived this music as a piano duet for Mimi and Jean Godebski, children he had befriended. Their parents, a Polish couple who held salons that attracted a remarkable array of Parisian artists, provided a kind of alternative home for the composer. Biographer Gerald Larner observes that the death of Ravel’s father in 1908 likely predisposed him to muse on his own childhood as he entertained the Godebskis and “took refuge in fairytale and the domesticity of the piano duet.” As a result, adds Larner, “there is at least as much adult nostalgia as childish joy . . . and far more Ravel” in these pieces. The original piano duet version of Mother Goose, which carries the subtitle “five children’s pieces,” emanates a beguiling intimacy and ravishing sense of color quite independent of the later ballet version. Ravel wrote the piano duet as a private gift for the Godebski children to play. For the first public performance, in 1910, however, the kids weren’t up to the task — they complained it would require too much practice — and it was premiered by another pair of prodigies. The following year, Ravel orchestrated these pieces, rearranging their order and adding interludes and a new opening sequence to fashion a suite suitable for a ballet. For this, he concocted a scenario linking the famous fairytale stories that were the starting point of the piano pieces and which had been drawn from multiple French sources. These sources included Charles Perrault’s anthology of 1697, subtitled Tales of Mother Goose (for the first two tales), as well as from versions by Perrault’s contemporary, Baroness d’Aulnoy, and by Jeanne-Marie Le Prince de Beaumont. In Ravel’s scenario, the tale of Sleeping Beauty serves as a framing device for the overall story. The clarity and simplicity of presentation in this score About the Music

ironically belie the subtleties of Ravel’s orchestration. After a Prelude sets the scene in the manner of a preview, Spinning Wheel Dance and Scene [Danse du rouet et scène] depicts Sleeping Beauty as she pricks her finger on the spindle of an old woman’s spinning wheel; as a result, she is cast into a profound slumber. Sleeping Beauty’s Pavane [Pavane de la Belle au bois dormant] ushers us along with the Princess into a state of dreamlike simplicity with its brief, stately processional and meltingly beautiful writing for woodwinds (in the final measures, their melody is given over to the strings). The tales that follow are enacted as she sleeps, dreamlike episodes that precede the moment of her awakening in the final tableau. At the same time, the Pavane’s sustained wistfulness hints at the ambivalence of Ravel’s summoning of childhood — a past recaptured by the knowing adult’s memory. In Conversations of Beauty and the Beast [Les entretiens de la Belle et de la Bête], Ravel details this unlikely love story in three parts. These chart the appearance of Beauty (clarinet) in a Satie-like waltz, the gruff pleas of Beast (contrabassoon), which emerge from the bass, and the mixture of both in a duet.

handsome prince (now represented by violin in place of the contrabassoon). Tom Thumb [Petit Poucet] — also known as Hop-o’my-Thumb, one of the many folktale variants of this story involving miniature people — recounts the episode in which the poor woodcutter’s son tries to plan a way out of the woods by dropping breadcrumbs, only to discover (like Hansel and Gretel) that birds have eaten them. Tom Thumb (oboe) wanders in confusion, trying to find the path, while Ravel’s vivid depiction of the birds near the end shows off his facility for conjuring nature. Little people also figure in Little Ugly, Empress of the Pagodas [Laideronnette, impératrice des Pagodes]. Here, a princess has been made the ugliest woman in the world by a witch’s spell, but finds herself transported into a magical kingdom where her miniature subjects, robed in gems, serenade her with an orchestra whose instruments (the “pagodas” in Ravel’s sense) are made of the shells of walnuts and almonds. The nuanced touches from percussion enhance Ravel’s enchanting use of pentatonic melody and evoke a ready-made Asian gamelan ensemble. For the concluding tale, Ravel introduces another handsome prince into his musical landscape. Prince Charming arrives to awaken Sleeping Beauty, and the wood becomes The Enchanted Garden [Le jardin féerique] — the very site of imaginative fantasy. Perfectly judged, painterly touches set the scene. A crescendo steadily builds, and the suite ends with the triumphant sounds of wedding and coronation. —Thomas May © 2013 Thomas May is a frequent contributor to Cleveland Orchestra program books and writes regularly about music and the arts.

At a Glance Ravel composed Ma Mère l’Oye (“Mother Goose”) as a five-movement suite for piano duet in 1908-1910. He orchestrated the suite in 1911, then expanded it further as a ballet score in 1911-12. The original piano duet was premiered in 1910 at a concert of the Société Musicale Indépendante in Paris, by Jeanne Leleu and Geneviève Durony (six and seven years old, respectively). The ballet version was first presented in January 1912, at the Théâtre des Arts in Paris, conducted by Gabriel Grovlez and with choreography by Jeanne Hugard. This work runs about 30 minutes in performance. Ravel scored it for 2 flutes, piccolo, 2 oboes, english horn, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, contrabassoon, 2 horns, timpani, percussion (triangle, cymbals, bass drum, tam-tam, xylophone, and jeu de timbres), celesta, harp, and strings. The Cleveland Orchestra has often played the five-movement suite from Mother Goose, including a set of concerts in 1928 under the composer’s direction. The complete ballet music was most recently presented in November 2010, conducted by Matthias Pintscher.

come to terms with much of his music. That delay persisted still longer for several of his works — nowhere more so than in the case of the Seventh Symphony. Even now, a century after the composer’s death, the Seventh remains less familiar on the whole than its symphonic siblings. Arguably no other score by Mahler poses as many interpretive challenges or has prompted such contradictory evaluations. This essentially enigmatic quality seems particularly fitting for music whose kaleidoscopic range so richly evokes the ambivalence of night. Mahler himself experienced unusual difficulty finding his way into this music, although once he did, composition proceeded with remarkable speed. Literally working from the inside out, Mahler began with the second and fourth movements (both designated “night music” pieces); these he wrote during the summer of 1904, while also completing the Sixth Symphony. The difficulty came in the following summer when he retreated at the end of the opera season to his “composer’s hut” in the Austrian Alps, far from the stress of Vienna. As Mahler sought to forge ahead with the Seventh, he struggled with its larger scope. What was missing was that allimportant ingredient of spontaneous inspiration. He remained blocked and was on the verge of giving up when he encountered a sudden illumination that set the work in motion while being ferried across one of the region’s lakes. “With the first stroke of the oars,” Mahler recalled several years later, “the theme (or rather, the rhythm and style) of the introduction to the first movement came to me.” Within six or seven weeks, he managed to sketch out the score’s three remaining movements. Music lovers who revere Mahler as the poet laureate of existential despair tend to be baffled by the sheer fantasy that abounds in the Seventh Symphony. The “darkness” of its music is altogether distinct, for example, from the fiercely concentrated, bleak, inescapably tragic vision that dominates the Sixth. The contrast becomes all the more remarkable not simply because at one point Mahler worked on both simultaneously. The Seventh co-opts elements of its predecessor, only to defang them. Typical of its rhetoric is the sense of evoking a lost past — including a partial review of the composer’s own symphonic past. About the Music

The Cleveland Orchestra

Yet at the same time, the Seventh ranks among Mahler’s most forward-looking, innovative achievements, both in the kaleidoscopic textures of its sound world and in its symmetrically designed architecture. Dramatically juxtaposed contrasts are a signature of Mahlerian style, yet the Seventh seems to exaggerate this to a new extreme — another aspect of this symphony’s experimental character. Homages to romanticism and classicism play a significant role, but these are filtered through an ironic, distancing lens much more characteristic of modernism. DARKNE S S AND LIGHT

The nighttime imagery so closely associated with this music goes far beyond melancholy or introspective posturing. Stylistically, it ranges from richly poetic dreamscapes to off-beat parody and even boisterous humor, with a finale — the most controversial part of the Seventh — that bursts on the scene like a raucous, exuberant non-sequitur. In fact, the Seventh’s unofficial nickname in English (“Song of the Night”) can be misleading if it conjures images of night as a negative force, a darkness that must simply be “transcended.” One aspect of the Seventh that troubled its earliest critics was the continually shifting character of the music as it moves from one mood to another seemingly without “motivation” — as if mimicking the “irrational” processes of the unconscious mind. Mahler’s disdain for programmatic descriptions by this point in his career, together with his use of extreme contrasts, means there is no easy “narrative” to orient the listener. “Three night pieces; the finale, bright day. As foundation for the whole, the first movement” — such was the laconic outline Mahler did provide to one colleague. Yet this statement hardly elucidates the issue of how these varieties of night are related to each other and to the finale. Surely an account that reductively insists on the paradigm of the “victory symphony” — of darkness conquered by light — ignores much of the musical evidence. Far from a monolithic threat, the darkness of the Seventh is shaped by Mahler’s prismatic imagination. Alma Mahler suggested that her husband had wanted to evoke the magic of the writers from the early 19th century he so loved, such as Joseph Eichendorff (1788-1857). Thus the middle movements, she wrote, were shot through with “visions of Eichendorff ’s poetry, rippling fountains, German Romanticism.” Severance Hall 2012-13

The nighttime imagery of this music goes far beyond melancholy or introspective posturing. Stylistically, it ranges from richly poetic dreamscapes to off-beat parody and even boisterous humor, with a finale — the most controversial part of the Seventh — that bursts on the scene like a raucous, exuberant non-sequitur.

Biographer Henry Louis de La Grange points to similarities in atmosphere shared by Novalis’s Hymns to the Night, with their “shadows of the past . . . vague yearnings, and deceived hopes” and by Nietzsche’s philosopher-prophet Zarathustra (whose pivotal “Midnight Song” Mahler had previously used in his Third Symphony, which also casts a shadow over the Seventh). The latter, writes La Grange, involves “a night of clairvoyance and heightened lucidity whose revelation is more essential than that of light.” Conductor Willem Mengelberg, an early Mahler champion, spoke of the visual inspiration of Rembrandt’s The Night Watch (referring to the first “night music” comprising the second movement), though his overliteral interpretation was clarified by a colleague who suggested, more helpfully, that the real model was the painter’s technique of shading and chiaroscuro rather than his subject matter — an observation which can indeed be applied to the overall ambivalence of the Seventh. Nature also forms an important element of Mahler’s nightscapes. In general, La Grange aptly observes, the Seventh “seems to welcome intrusions with a strange passivity, to mirror

the strange diversity of the twentieth-century man’s experience, a diversity which has become impossible to synthesize . . . in a disillusioned present which knows . . . that ambiguities can never be solved.” SYMMETRY AND MUSICAL SHADOWS

For all this ambiguity, the work’s five movements are held together by an impressively unifying symmetry. The first and fifth movements counterbalance each other in proportion; likewise the two “night music” movements, together with the central Scherzo they flank, form an internal continuity roughly equal to each of the outer movements. What results is a neatly balanced arch shape (A-B-C-B-A), with the odd-numbered movements modifying more conventional forms (sonata, scherzo with trio, rondo finale), while the second and fourth movements are closer to fantasias that reinterpret those romantic “character” pieces known as the nocturne and serenade, respectively. A shadowy mystique permeates the symphony’s opening moments. Over a stuttering, funereal accompaniment of unstable harmony, Mahler superimposes the cry of a “tenor horn” (normally associated with brass bands, its unusual sonority is a clue to the work’s highly original orchestration). The first theme features a dotted, descending three-note pattern as well as a long-short-short rhythm; both of these recur as unifying devices throughout the work. With a fierce charge, the introduction accelerates into a fiery Allegro, its music transformed into a driving march that bears a close family resemblance to the opening theme of Mahler’s Sixth Symphony. The lush, yearningly lyrical second theme, given to the strings, serves as the critical center of the movement’s arch during the development, when it emerges like a full moon from a cloudbank and reaches a swooning, visionary climax. Mahler then plummets headlong into the introductory music again, beginning a highly inventive and varied process of recapitulation. The first “night music” movement represents yet another kind of march, one that slowly comes into focus amid echoes, fluttering sounds, and night calls before settling into a major-minor swagger that is Mahler’s musical equivalent of chiaroscuro. The effect is enticingly ambiguous, while, as in Bartók’s night music, bird calls and sensuous new colors (including cowbells) emerge under cover of darkness. The Schubertian charm of the contrasting melody is just one of the nostalgic evocations of the Severance Hall 2012-13

About the Music

At a Glance Mahler began work on his Seventh Symphony with the two “Night Music” movements (Nos. 2 and 4) during the summer of 1904. He added the three remaining movements a year later. Mahler led the work’s first performance, on September 19, 1908, in Prague. This symphony runs between 70 and 85 minutes in performance. Mahler scored it for an orchestra of piccolo and 4 flutes (fourth doubling second piccolo), 3 oboes and english horn, 3 clarinets and small clarinet in E-flat, 3 bassoons and contrabassoon, 4 horns and tenor horn, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion (bass drum, tam-tam, tambourine, triangle, cymbals, glockenspiel, cowbells, low-pitched bells), 2 harps, strings, and (in the fourth movement) guitar and mandolin. The Cleveland Orchestra first performed music from this symphony in 1946, when Erich Leinsdorf programmed the two “Night Music” movements on a weekend of concerts at Severance Hall. The first complete performances were during the 1970-71 season, led by Louis Lane. The most recent performances, at Severance Hall, Blossom, and on tour, were led by Franz Welser-Möst in 2003 and 2004. Pierre Boulez recorded the Seventh Symphony with The Cleveland Orchestra in 1994 for Deutsche Grammophon.

past that figure into the texture of these middle movements. “Shadowy” (schattenhaft) is Mahler’s marking for the central scherzo, with its misplaced, tipsy accents — a spectral waltz that both mocks and seems to outdo romantic grotesquerie. The oboe’s cheerful tune in the trio comes back in a funhouse distortion when played by trombones and tuba, while echoes of the symphony’s opening theme heighten the symmetry by recurring here at the center. The delicious, painterly details of Mahler’s scoring abound here and in the ensuing fourthmovement “night music,” an Andante amoroso that serves as a gentle remake/parody of the lover’s serenade. This is also the first movement written from the start in the major (F). While reducing his large orchestra to chamber dimensions, Mahler colors it by adding amorous plucking on mandolin and guitar to intensify the ironic nostalgia. The fifth-movement finale has always been the Seventh’s interpretive stumbling block. Pounding timpani set in motion the brassy fanfare of the multipart rondo theme, one segment of which resembles a drunken imitation of the pompously marching cheer of Wagner’s Meistersinger Prelude. Indeed, the C-major brightness of this music — which Mahler pointedly designates Allegro ordinario — intrudes so unexpectedly after all that has preceded that it seems to thumb its nose at the notion of “triumph” over darkness, rather as Shostakovich (perhaps) intended to do in his Fifth Symphony several decades later. Amid the elaborate variations on the hyperactive rondo music, which recurs seven times, the opening theme is transformed from a remembered dream to a statement of clamorous joy that closes the work — so forcefully that the ironic reading by itself seems overly reductive. Bells ring out in a resounding affirmation of life. Affirming all of it. Everything. Night and day. And even including the next-to-last chord, whose harmony introduces one final ambiguous touch before the clear finish. —Thomas May © 2013

The Cleveland Orchestra Center for Future Audiences T H E C L E V E L A N D O R C H E S T R A ’s Center for Future Audiences was estab-

lished to fund programs to develop new generations of audiences for Cleveland Orchestra concerts in Northeast Ohio. The Center was created in 2010 with a $20 million lead endowment gift from the Maltz Family Foundation. Center-funded programs focus on addressing economic and geographic barriers to attending Cleveland Orchestra concerts at Severance Hall and Blossom Music Center. Programs include research, introductory offers, targeted discounts, student ticket programs, and integrated use of new technologies. The goal is to create one of the youngest audiences of any symphony orchestra in the country. For additional information about these plans and programs, call us at 216-231-7464.

The Cleveland Orchestra’s catalog of recordings continues to grow. The newest DVD features Bruckner’s Eighth Symphony recorded live at Severance Hall under the direction of Music Director Franz Welser-Möst in 2010 and released in May 2011. And, released in 2012, Dvořák’s opera Rusalka on CD, recorded live at the Salzburg Festival. Writing of the Rusalka performances, the reviewer for London’s Sunday Times praised the performance as “the most spellbinding account of Dvořák’s miraculous score I have ever heard, either in the theatre or on record. . . . I doubt this music can be better played than by the Clevelanders, the most ‘European’ of the American orchestras, with wind and brass soloists to die for and a string sound of superlative warmth and sensitivity.” Other recordings released in recent years include two under the baton of Pierre Boulez and a third album of Mozart piano concertos with Mitsuko Uchida, whose first Cleveland Orchestra Mozart album won a Grammy Award in 2011. Visit the Cleveland Orchestra Store for the latest and best Cleveland Orchestra recordings and DVDs.

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 OF

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.

PATTI AUSTIN: MUSIC OF ELLA AND ELLINGTON Pop-jazz superstar Patti Austin began her career as a fouryear-old, onstage with legend Dinah Washington. Since then, she has performed hit songs all over the world. In a tribute to jazz giants Ella Fitzgerald and Duke Ellington, Patti Austin joins The Cleveland Orchestra in a program of all-time favorites such as “Cottontail,” “I Got It Bad,” “Honeysuckle Rose,” “Mr. Paganini,” and more!

HANDEL’S WATER MUSIC Thursday May 9 at 8:00 p.m. Friday May 10 at 8:00 p.m. THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA Ton Koopman, conductor Jay Carter, countertenor Steven Soph, tenor Klaus Mertens, bass Cleveland Orchestra Chamber Chorus

In 1717, England’s King George was suffering in the polls. His political advisors suggested that he do something big to get the people behind him. They came up with the idea of a summer boating party on the Thames, for which Handel wrote the music. Arguably the most popular piece of Baroque music today, Water Music makes fashionable use of the dance forms popular at the time, combining festivity and finesse. Sponsor: Thompson Hine LLP

THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA Mitsuko Uchida, piano and conductor

Mitsuko Uchida’s interpretations of Mozart are renowned for their intelligence, elegance, and sensitivity. She continues her acclaimed collaboration with The Cleveland Orchestra, which was recognized with a 2010 Grammy Award, by performing and recording two more of Mozart’s piano concertos, Nos. 17 and 25. “Mitsuko Uchida’s Mozart playing is stunningly sensitive, crystalline, and true.” —Boston Globe Sponsor: Quality Electrodynamics (QED)

Carl Orff’s joyous Carmina Burana bursts forth like a boisterous street festival — filled with great music, marvelous mayhem, and delightful merriment. This modern-day Canterbury Tales comes complete with lusty hymns to springtime, animated drinking songs, and a swan’s anguishingly ironic farewell to life (on a barbecue spit!). The evening opens with a concerto by J.S. Bach, for oboe d’amore. Sponsor: KeyBank
