Perspectivesfrom the Executive Director January 2014 On behalf of every member of The Cleveland Orchestra family, we welcome you to these first concerts of 2014.

This month, Franz Welser-Möst and the Orchestra launch a multiyear exploration of the music of Johannes Brahms. His symphonies and major concertos will be performed here in Severance Hall as well as on tour, and the repertoire will be recorded for worldwide television broadcast and release on DVD. Franz and the Orchestra are working in partnership with acclaimed soloist Julia Fischer for the violin concerto and plans are being made for Yefim Bronfman to return next season for the two piano concertos.

Our focus on the music of Brahms follows closely on the heels of our exploration of Bruckner symphonies recorded for television and DVD between 2006 and 2012. Those recordings, together with live performances on three continents, have brought great acclaim to the ongoing partnership between Franz and the Orchestra.

Among the highlights of the Brahms focus will be a series of concerts next September in Austria pairing all four Brahms symphonies with works by Jörg Widmann, who was the Orchestra’s Lewis Young Composer Fellow in 2009-11. Widmann’s Teufel Amor is being given its American premiere performances this month at Severance Hall, January 16-18.

Last month saw the Annual Meeting of the Orchestra’s non-profit governing organization, the Musical Arts Association, and the news that in 2012/13 we balanced the budget, grew the endowment, and developed a larger and younger audience. In covering these year-end results, the Plain Dealer reported that “The Cleveland Orchestra is now exactly where a thriving organization needs to be.”

Much of the credit for ongoing good news accrues to the leadership and generosity of our Board of Trustees led by President Dennis W. LaBarre. I hope you will take a moment to read Dennis’s Annual Report message on pages 25 and 26 of this book, in which he details the success of the past year and looks ahead to the Orchestra’s Centennial.

The Cleveland Orchestra finished 2013 strongly with record-breaking ticket sales for the Holiday Festival here at Severance Hall, and numerous expressions of support in the form of year-end philanthropic gifts. Many thanks to each and every generous donor who remembered the Orchestra as 2013 drew to a close. Our Annual Fund continues through to the end of the Orchestra’s fiscal year on June 30, with an ambitious goal of exceeding even last year’s all-time record. If you have not yet made your pledge, please consider how you might help with a new or increased gift. Thank you.

I close with special congratulations and thanks to the Cleveland Foundation, which marked its one-hundredth birthday on January 2. Created as the world’s first community foundation in 1914, this non-profit philanthropic organization has helped bring focus and funding toward an evolving set of common goals, including support for the many arts groups that together create a vibrant cultural climate that each year enhances and energizes the quality of life here. Hats off to one-hundred years of commitment and success in strengthening Northeast Ohio.

The Cleveland Orchestra’s Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Concert, held this year for the 34th time, fills the stage at Severance Hall with performers — featuring the volunteer Celebration Chorus assembled and prepared especially for this event each January.

and around the globe, The Cleveland Orchestra remains Northeast Ohio’s most visible international ambassador and 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 Music Festival, in residencies from Miami to Vienna, and on tour around the world, The Cleveland Orchestra sets standards of artistic excellence, creative programming, and active community engagement. With the 2013-14 season, Franz Welser-Möst enters his twelft h year leading the ensemble, with a commitment extending to the Orchestra’s centennial in 2018. This artistic partnership continues to move the ensemble forward through a series of new and ongoing initiatives, including: IN PE RFORMANCE S AT HOME

expansion of education and community programs in Northeast Ohio to feature music as an integral and regular part of everyday life for more people, including the launch this past spring of an “At Home” neighborhood residency program that brings The Cleveland Orchestra to a single neighborhood or town

About the Orchestra

The Cleveland Orchestra

for an intensive week of special activities and performances, as well as the broadening of the Orchestra’s ongoing education and community engagement initiatives to include Make Music!, a program of active and participatory experience and learning; the establishment of residencies around the world, fostering creative artistic growth and an expanded financial base — including ongoing residencies at the Vienna Musikverein (the first of its kind by an American orchestra) and in Florida under the name Cleveland Orchestra Miami (featuring an annual series of concerts and community activities, coupled with educational presentations and collaborations based on successful programs pioneered at home in Cleveland); creative new artistic collaborations with arts institutions in Northeast Ohio, including staged works, concerts, and chamber music performances; a concentrated and successful effort to develop future generations of audiences for Cleveland Orchestra concerts in Northeast Ohio, through research, targeted discounts, social media promotion, and student ticket programs, with demonstrated results at Severance Hall and Blossom; a variety of new concert offerings (including KeyBank Fridays@7 and Celebrity Series at Severance Hall as well as movie, themed, and family presentations at Blossom) to play more music for more people; the return of ballet as a regular part of the Orchestra’s presentations, featuring ongoing collaborations with Chicago’s Joffrey Ballet; continuing and expanded educational partnerships with schools, colleges, and universities across Northeast Ohio and beyond; concert tours from coast to coast in the United States, including regular appearances at Carnegie Hall; ongoing recording activities, including new releases under the direction of Franz Welser-Möst, Mitsuko Uchida, and Pierre Boulez, as well as a series of acclaimed DVD concert presentations of symphonies by Anton Bruckner led by Welser-Möst.

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.

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

marks Franz Welser-Möst’s twelfth 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 extending and enhancing its community programming at home in Northeast Ohio, 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 is general music director of the Vienna State Opera.

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. Mr. Welser-Möst’s championship of community music-making expands upon his active participation in educational programs and collaborative programming, including the Cleveland Orchestra Youth Orchestra and partnerships with music conservatories, universities, and other arts institutions 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 regular new 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, Sean Shepherd, and Ryan Wigglesworth.

Franz Welser-Möst has led a series of opera performances during his tenure P H OTO BY S ATO S H I AOYAG I

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 and in May 2014 brings an innovative made-for-Cleveland production of Leoš Janáček’s The Cunning Little Vixen to Northeast Ohio.

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 Sven-Eric Bechtolf, and critically praised new productions of Hindemith’s Cardillac and Janáček’s Katya Kabanova and From the House of the Dead. During the 201314 season, his Vienna schedule includes a new production of Puccini’s The Girl of the Golden West, as well as performances of Tristan and Isolde, Verdi’s Don Carlo, Beethoven’s Fidelio, and Richard Strauss’s Ariadne auf Naxos and Der Rosenkavalier.

Mr. Welser-Möst also maintains an ongoing relationship with the Vienna Philharmonic. Recent performances with the Philharmonic include appearances in concert at La Scala Milan, at New York’s Carnegie Hall, and in opera presentations at the Salzburg Festival. He also led the Philharmonic’s New Year’s Day concert, viewed by telecast in seventy countries worldwide in 2011 and again in 2013. Across a decadelong 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.

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 five of Bruckner’s 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.

From the President This message from Musical Arts Association president Dennis W. LaBarre is excerpted from the Association’s recently published Annual Report. Here, Mr. LaBarre discusses the continuing progress that The Cleveland Orchestra is making in implementing changes for a stronger future, as an institution devoted to the citizens of Northeast Ohio who created it and have sustained it. The complete Annual Report can be read at clevelandorchestra.com by clicking on “Publications” in the “News & Updates” section.

T H E C L E V E L A N D O R C H E S T R A ’ S past year has been a

year of success and progress. We have reached the mid-point of a ten-year plan and fundraising campaign to ensure the artistic preeminence, institutional strength, and long-term financial stability of The Cleveland Orchestra as we approach our centennial anniversary in 2018.

With ongoing, thorough, and rigorous analysis of the challenges facing the Orchestra, we are making great strides toward our future. Our objectives include fully engaging and serving the community that supports us, building a sound financial foundation, strengthening the institutional fabric across all our constituencies, and, above all, continuing to grow and excel artistically.

THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA

Under the leadership of Franz Welser-Möst, the Orchestra continues to produce music of the highest artistic quality. Franz challenges the musicians with innovative artistic programming, while engaging new corners of the community with new styles of music, new venues, and new artforms. I am inspired by our musicians, who have challenged themselves, too, to become evermore involved in educating and engaging people of all ages. Emblematic of this dedication to the community’s musical enrichment was a special night of music in March 2013 featuring The Cleveland Orchestra performing for the first time with all of its youth ensembles. In May 2013, the Orchestra launched its “Cleveland Orchestra At Home” neighborhood residency program, partnering with organizations throughout the Gordon Square Arts District to serve the community with a week of free public presentations, ensemble performances, and education concerts, and culminating in a Cleveland Orchestra concert in a neighborhood church. The Make Music! concert in March and the “At Home” concert in May were both recorded and telecast on WVIZ/PBS ideastream, reaching audience members throughout the region.

For these achievements, we owe a debt of gratitude to all those who continue to nurture the Orchestra’s advancements, from our volunteers and musicians to our staff and trustees. I extend special thanks to our devoted and generous patrons who make up the audiences of Severance Hall, Blossom, and venues far and wide, CONTINUES

THE CLEVELAND ORC

The Orchestra’s financial outlook continues to improve. The Fiscal Year 2014 budget projects another year of break-even results, as was achieved in Fiscal Year 2013.

Record-breaking ticket sales, including record numbers of young people, helped drive operating revenue to the highest level in our history. Thousands of individual donors, corporations, and foundations contributed over $10 million to the 2012-13 Annual Fund — a record — which supported over 20% of the Orchestra’s operating costs.

THE CLEVELAND ORCHES-

and who continue to support and demand the best from this Orchestra.

To build on these successes, and to begin our second century on a secure footing, we must sustain our focus on artistic excellence. Simultaneously, we must continue evolving the ways in which we serve the community, while we establish a sound foundation of financial resources that allow us to do both to the best of our ability.

THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA

To accomplish these goals by 2018, we have undertaken the most ambitious fundraising campaign in our history — the Sound for the Centennial Campaign. The Orchestra’s Endowment today covers just 15% of the Orchestra’s operating costs. The Endowment must expand, through cash gifts and deferred commitments, to provide up to 30% of the Orchestra’s annual operating budget. Until that is achieved, contributions to special fundraising will couple with our robust, ongoing, and increasing Annual Fund to balance the budget and maintain artistic and community programming as the Endowment grows. We are making steady progress toward financial stability thanks to the generosity of thousands of individuals, corporations, and foundations.

A

CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA THE CLEVELAND ORCHE

The strength of this institution across all constituencies is essential to the successful achievement of our artistic, financial, and operating goals. I am greatly encouraged by new and dynamic working partnerships among all members of the Orchestra family.

To further develop the collaboration between trustees and musicians, we plan to add musicians to several Board committees.

This past year also saw the successful achievement of a mutually beneficial long-term operating agreement for The Cleveland Orchestra’s Miami residency, which began in 2007 as the first annual adaptation of our residency programs from around the world.

This ongoing relationship with Miami is opening the Orchestra to new audiences of music lovers while benefiting the Miami community and contributing to the Orchestra’s overall artistic growth and financial success.

Our focus must always be on tomorrow, toward a second century of changing lives through the power of music. As we approach the Orchestra’s centennial anniversary, we seek to build the youngest audience of any orchestra in the country. These young people, with their families, make up the next generations of concertgoers and supporters, helping to ensure the long-term success of this great institution.

As much as our centennial is about securing The Cleveland Orchestra’s future, and sustaining the artistic and institutional excellence we are known for worldwide, it is first and foremost about celebrating the community that has supported us through these first one hundred years. We are evolving partnerships with institutions throughout Northeast Ohio. We are seeking new ways to engage and serve this community. We are dedicating ourselves to becoming evermore relevant to our supporters, and to sustaining the practices that have made The Cleveland Orchestra an enduring symbol of this community’s spirit and pride.

2013 European Festivals Tour draws praise for Welser-Möst, Cleveland Orchestra, and Chorus The following are excerpted from press commentary about the Orchestra’s pererformances during its European Tour and Vienna Residency, November 8-22:

THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA CLEVELAND O30RCHESTRA THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA ESTRA THE CLEVELAND ORCHE

News

“The handshakes from Franz Welser-Möst said it all. In acknowledging the principals of the Cleveland Orchestra Friday night at Vienna’s Musikverein, the music director did what most in attendance probably wished they could do themselves: personally thank the group for three superb performances in a row. Not once in their concerts Wednesday through Friday was it apparent that the group had been traveling abroad nearly three weeks. No, here at the end of their 2013 European Tour, the artists played with new focus and energy, and made sure Vienna enjoyed the fruits of their long musical labor. The main thing apparent, frankly, was that the orchestra had been playing Beethoven and Shostakovich nonstop for weeks, and knew their six scores inside and out. Here as nowhere else, the artists transcended the numerous pages on their stands, and simply took advantage of the Musikverein’s legendary acoustics. No less clear was that the audience recognized expertise, and liked what it heard. . . . The response each night was hugely enthusiastic, giving Welser-Möst cause to repeatedly acknowledge individual players and the ensemble as a whole. On Friday, he even went so far as to jog into the bass section.”

—The Plain Dealer, November 23, 2013 “Franz Welser-Möst’s interpretations are anything but sober, yet clear in their formal articulation. It is not the conceited omniscience of someone who pretends to understand the world. His concerts reveal an earth-bound assurance, free from spectacle, affectation, and sentimentality. He reads the score and interprets what’s there. Self-denial in favor of the message of the artwork — this penchant for directness is beneficial, even if it is certainly not always successful. Franz WelserMöst has long been able to concentrate on works that really suit him, working on pieces he likes to say are ‘close to his heart’.”

—Concerti, November 2013 “The second evening of their visit to Frankfurt started luxuriously: The Cleveland Orchestra’s own chorus performed Beethoven’s Mass in C major at the Alte Oper, joined of course by the orchestra itself from Northeast Ohio, which was the focus of two concerts in the city. The Cleveland Orchestra . . . juxtaposed works by Beethoven with the Sixth and Tenth Symphonies by Dmitri Shostakovich. The symbiosis between the orchestra and the chorus was unsurpassable. Under Austrian conductor Franz Welser-Möst, who has been music director in the city on Lake Erie since 2002, Beethoven’s lyrical, literal setting of the Latin Mass came across lean, subtle, and transparent, despite all the opulence in the performing forces. The balance between singers and instrumentalists was perfect in the soft and mild passages.”

Let the spirit move you!

Special three-concert series packages are available for the spring KeyBank Fridays@7 performances. Contact Severance Hall Ticket Services for complete details, or purchase online at clevelandorchestra.com.

The Cleveland Orchestra and Lakewood have anat home nounced a new partnership to present the Orchestra’s next “At Home” neighborhood residency in May 2014. The centerpiece of this week of activities, education programs, and public performances will be a free Cleveland Orchestra concert at the Civic Auditorium in Lakewood on Saturday evening, May 24. The concert will be recorded for a delayed broadcast on WVIZ/PBS ideastream, and a radio broadcast on WCLV 104.9. The television broadcast will also feature a segment about the Orchestra’s performances, collaborations, and events in Lakewood.

“Creating a grassroots opportunity for Lakewood to experience perhaps the greatest orchestra in the world at a very personal level is a cultural experience that we will remember for years to come,” commented Lakewood Mayor Michael P. Summers in announcing the collaboration. “Our increasingly vibrant commercial corridors and neighborhoods will be made ever-more-so by the music and the musicians.” Ian Andrews, executive director of LakewoodAlive, Lakewood’s nonprofit economic development organization, added, “Lakewood is known for its commitment to the arts. The Orchestra’s events will strengthen this commitment and showcase the city’s great quality of life, local organizations, restaurants, schools, and businesses that make our community special.”

The Cleveland Orchestra introduced its “At Home” neighborhood residency program in May 2013 with a week of performances and activities in the Gordon Square community of Cleveland. Events include free performances by Orchestra musicians and education programs for children, students, and families. Details of The Cleveland Orchestra’s Lakewood neighborhood residency will be announced in March 2014, along with information about acquiring tickets for the free Cleveland Orchestra concerts.

is filled with autumnal melancholy is too often and too easily embraced, while the full depth and breadth of his musical creations is equally too often forgotten and ignored. His glowing orchestral symphonies are, in fact, filled with colors from across the emotional spectrum. And, if Brahms’s own curmudgeonly personality did tend to drive his music toward the bittersweet (not forgetting his fondness for playing practical jokes on friends and an intense interest in puns), his moments of happiest musicmaking are undeniably irresistible.

With this week’s concerts, Franz Welser-Möst and The Cleveland Orchestra begin a multi-year exploration of some of Brahms’s great orchestral scores — starting this weekend with two symphonies (one sunny, one darker), the violin concerto, and a pair of contrasting overtures (one comical, one more tragic). Violinist Julia Fischer serves as soloist in the concerto, a microcosm of the composer’s lyrical musical language, filled with soaring melody and rapturous harmonies, searingly infused with poignant reveries and sunny outbursts.

The Orchestra’s Brahms project will also include a series of recordings for future worldwide television broadcast and DVD release. The recordings begin this week, with Thursday and Friday night’s concerts, working again with our partners WVIZ/ideastream and Clasart.

Let us enjoy the warmth of Brahms’s creations in the midst of the cold nights this winter is serving us.

never attended a university, but in the summer of 1853, when he was twenty, he spent a month with his new friend Joseph Joachim, who was enrolled at the University of Göttingen for the summer session. They joined a club known as the Saxonia Corps, which met every Tuesday and Saturday at a local bar. Here they sat in a cramped room drinking beer, smoking cigars and pipes, and singing jolly German student songs like “Mein Lebenslauf ist Lieb’ und Lust” [“My Character is Love and Joy”] and “Ach, du liebe Augustin” [“Oh, Your Dear Augustin”].

Brahms and Joachim would perform their party trick, the “foxride,” galumphing noisily around a table astride a chair.

In 1879, twenty-six years later, a now world-famous Brahms received an honorary doctorate from the University of Breslau (now Wrocław in Poland) and in response he composed the Academic Festival Overture, full of reminiscences of student songs. The director of music at the University was Bernhard Scholz, who had been a friend of both Brahms and Joachim for a number of years. The three of them had signed the famous manifesto in 1860 in protest against the view that the New German School (i.e. the ideas of Richard Wagner) represented the leadership of German music. In the long run, the protest probably did more harm than good, since Brahms normally preferred to stand aloof from partisan debates of this kind.

Scholz asked him to compose a “doctoral symphony” as a thank you to the university, adding “we expect a Festal Ode at the very least.” Working during his summer vacation, as he always liked to do, at Bad Ischl, a popular Austrian spa, Brahms instead offered Scholz an overture. And, in fact, he wrote two overtures, one after the other, neatly balanced in character and effect. The two were performed for the first time in December 1880 in Vienna (Tragic) and January 1881 (Academic Festival), in Breslau in the marvelously ornate baroque university hall, the Aula Leopoldina, which still stands in the city of Wrocław.

“One is full of tears, the other full of laughter,” wrote About the Music

39

Brahms. The Tragic Overture is not a gloomy work, but it clearly carries the weighty burden of tragedy in its minor key and somber themes — and great warmth too. The variety of material is remarkable, even including an episode where the tempo slows down and the oboes perform a stately old-fashioned dance, soon treated to discussion as if it were a point of obscure philosophical debate. Brahms was always at his best when displaying a serious frown, as so often in his symphonies and chamber music.

On the other hand, the Academic Festival Overture is wonderful precisely because it shows the composer in a genuinely smiling mood, rare in his instrumental music (though often found in his songs). He called it his “Janissary” overture because of the percussion (thought to be of Turkish origin) he so rarely used elsewhere, but which here gives a truly popular flavor to the hearty songs, especially the noisy “Gaudeamus igitur” at the end. He also calls for a contrabassoon so that the bassoons can form a clownish trio as if the whole thing is to be taken with a nudge and a wink.

If the mood of the Academic Festival Overture is light-hearted, its workmanship, as always with Brahms, is exemplary, which is only fitting for a work with the word “academic” in its title.

Brahms composed his Akademische Fest-Ouverture in the summer of 1880 at Bad Ischl and conducted the first performance on January 4, 1881, at the University of Breslau (now Wrocław, Poland).

The United States premiere, conducted by Theodore Thomas, took place in Chicago on August 18, 1881.

This Overture entered the repertoire of The Cleveland Orchestra in November 1924, at a pair of subscription concerts at Masonic Auditorium conducted by Nikolai Sokoloff.

Violin Concerto in D major, Opus 77 composed 1878 BRAHMS

was a formidable pianist, but he would never have wanted to be identified with the armies of piano virtuosos who toured Europe and composed flashy variations and fantasias on tunes from Rossini and Verdi operas. His two piano concertos are stern and serious works, and when it came to writing a violin concerto his model was unquestionably going to be Beethoven, not Paganini or Vieuxtemps. He made that doubly plain by choosing Beethoven’s key, D major, and by following Beethoven’s precedent with a long, lyrical first movement in full classical sonata form.

Perhaps we should be surprised that he composed a violin concerto at all. Joseph Joachim, for whom it was written, was the first important musician he met when he left his Hamburg home at the age of twenty to seek fame and fortune. Joachim, almost the same age, was already an international star at that time, and the two struck up a firm friendship that lasted across more than four decades. For nearly twenty of those forty years, Joachim implored Brahms to write him a concerto, yet Brahms hesitated, no doubt thinking that it was more important to embark on the dangerous course of writing symphonies before he attempted a concerto for an instrument he didn’t play. Eventually, in 1878, soon after the successful premiere of his Second Symphony, Brahms devoted a summer holiday in the Austrian Alps to composing the longed-for concerto.

The composer worked closely with Joachim in fashioning the solo part; he clearly intended the concerto to be a test of the player’s technique and musicianship and to be free of any suspicion of unmotivated display. Display itself is, of course, perfectly legitimate, in fact desirable, in a concerto, so it remains for us only to judge whether the soloist’s leaps, arpeggios, double stops, and passage-work are intrinsic to the work or not. The earliest critics were in some doubt, although the violin writing now strikes us as a model of good taste and sensitive musicianship. Others, such as the great Spanish virtuoso Sarasate, felt it had no tunes. “Would I stand there,” he said, “violin in hand, while the oboe plays the only melody in the whole work?”

The concerto was first performed in Leipzig on New Year’s Day 1879 by Joachim, the dedicatee, who composed the cadenza that is still normally played today. Never fond of waste, About the Music

Brahms presents his first movement’s main theme as a bare unison at the very start of the work, based on a D major triad.

Eight measures later, the oboe offers something nearer to a scale; eight bars further on, the full orchestra dwells on leaping octaves. Gradually the thematic material finds its place, some presented by the orchestra, more provided by the soloist after flexing his or her muscles (forty-some measures of, yes, display).

Eventually, we reach a gloriously lyrical second subject, which seems to express the very soul of the violin. The finest moment is reserved for the coda (after the solo cadenza), when, following a sly reference to the Beethoven concerto, the soloist soars higher and higher in dreamy flight before a final resumption of the main tempo.

The slow movement, in F major, opens with a long, beautiful theme for the oboe with wind accompaniment. When the soloist takes it up, the strings accompany — and the textures and harmonies become gradually more adventurous, only brought back to earth for the return of the main theme and the main key.

The third-movement finale’s boisterous lilt is a tribute to Joachim’s Hungarian birth. But, as in Joachim himself, who never returned to Hungary or sympathized with its nationalist movements, other themes of quite un-Hungarian character intervene, including a dynamic rising scale in octaves and a beautifully lyrical episode where the meter changes briefly from a stamping 2/4 to a gentle 3/4. The final switch to a 6/8 pulse with heavy off-beats is one of Brahms’s stranger (yet still beautiful) inventions, and the dying decline of the last few measures is stranger still.

At a Glance Brahms composed his Violin Concerto in 1878 and conducted its premiere at the Leipzig Gewandhaus on January 1, 1879, with Joseph Joachim as soloist. The score was published in 1879 with a dedication to Joachim.

This concerto runs about 40 minutes in performance.

Brahms scored it for 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani, and strings, plus solo violin.

The Cleveland Orchestra first played Brahms’s Violin Concerto in November 1920, at subscription concerts conducted by music director Nikolai Sokoloff, with Efrem Zimbalist as soloist.

Since then, the Orchestra has presented the concerto frequently, with many of the world’s greatest violinists.

The most recent Severance Hall subscription performances were given in January 2012, with Julian Rachlin as soloist under the direction of Franz Welser-Möst, who also led a performance with Gil Shaham in May 2012 at Carnegie Hall.

of Brahms that he delayed composing a symphony until after he was forty out of respect for Beethoven’s great set of nine — and from a fear of being found wanting in comparison with his mighty predecessor. There is much truth in this. Indeed, Brahms acknowledged it himself.

Brahms’s rapid rise, at the age of twenty, into the circle of leading composers was set in motion by Robert Schumann, who declared publicly that Brahms was destined for a great future in the pedigree of German music. In the company of Schumann and his wife Clara, Brahms had played almost exclusively chamber music — which for them represented the real Beethoven legacy, especially the violin sonatas and late quartets, with the unspoken understanding that the Ninth Symphony was not necessarily the center of the Beethoven universe. Not coincidentally, at the same time, the Ninth (and its “Ode to Joy”) was being elevated by Liszt and Wagner and their followers as a pointer to a future in symphonic poem and music drama, two territories in which Brahms never set foot.

When he finally resolved to write a symphony, Brahms had Schumann’s symphonies sounding in his ears as strongly as Beethoven’s — which is why a similarity can be heard between the opening of Schumann’s Fourth and the wide-spread octave with which Brahms began his First. When we reach the finale of Brahms’s First, though, we do unmistakably encounter an echo of the choral finale of Beethoven’s Ninth. “Any fool can see that,” was Brahms’s dismissive comment.

Once he had given one symphony to the world, it was easier for Brahms to embark on its successors. The rest followed more rapidly, within nine years. The Second followed very soon after the First, and the Fourth appeared within two years of the Third.

formed in the city of Karlsruhe in November 1876. The composer was anxious to test it in one of the less prominent cities of Germany before allowing performances in Vienna or Leipzig or Berlin. Such was its success, however, that performances quickly followed in all major cities, at home and abroad.

Happily, his admirers did not have to wait long for the Second Symphony. The success of the First and the choice of a perfect spot for his summer vacation worked the miracle and produced the new work the very next year, 1877.

Since 1864, there had been a railroad connection from Vienna to Lake Wörth in the very southernmost part of Austria, so that the capital’s well-to-do began to spend their summers there. Like Mahler a few years later, Brahms liked to compose during his holidays, and in the village of Pörtschach on the lake’s northern shore he found a haven: “It is delightful here,” he wrote, “I will never again spend the summer far from the Prater [Vienna’s main street].” Many a great work was to emerge from those summer retreats amid Alpine lakes and mountains, including the Violin Concerto the following year.

(Mahler too, who built a villa at Maiernigg just across the lake from Pörtschach, found inspiration in those surroundings.)

The Second Symphony was speedily composed during the summer of 1877, and this time Brahms had no hesitation in offering it first to a Viennese audience. They heard it on December 30 that year, and like its predecessor it was soon taken up by all the great orchestras of the world. There are dark passages and no lack of tension, but on the whole this is a sunny work, full of light and vivacity, and it always leaves listeners in a state of happy elation.

This impression is most strongly conveyed by the charming third movement, which can make the intricacies and tensions of the first two movements fade away in memory, and even make audiences overlook the technical skill of the brilliant finale, which sweeps everything before it. For the third movement is a kind of intermezzo, in which a gentle folksy theme is treated as a rondo (with a principal theme alternating with a contrasting section), interrupted by two equally charming episodes.

About the Music

The Cleveland Orchestra

Brahms in 1889, from a series of photographs by C. Brasch

It is not in fact so hard to compose. But what is fabulously difficult is to leave the superfluous notes under the table. —Johannes Brahms

The first is a fairylike transformation of the initial theme, speeded up; the second is a scherzo-like dance full of cross-accents and chattering exchanges between winds and strings. Brahms’s debt is here more to Mendelssohn and Schumann than to Beethoven.

Is there a darker spirit elsewhere at work? Within a few bars of the opening of the first movement the trombones are to be heard lurking in the shadows, and later on, in the development, those hints turn into real threats when the trombones show their teeth in overlapping, grinding entries. As if in remorse, the trombones play a soothing role in the slow movement, while Brahms explores a constant counterpoint, with at least two themes always to be heard at the same time. The contrast with the plain tunefulness of the third movement is all the more striking.

If the trombones are a sinister force in the first two movements, they step proudly forward in the last movement, and they close the symphony with the most thrilling D-major triad in all symphonic music. The cellos similarly have a leading role, with an especially ravishing melody (supported by the violas) as the second subject of the first movement, and an important expressive line in the slow movement. Meanwhile the first horn would never let us overlook its superbly shaped solo in the coda of the first movement, which is followed by the first violins indulging their

taste for broad melody on their lower strings — as if this was the point towards which the entire edifice of the first movement had been leading. In Brahms, there are always great moments like that. If we get too excited by one, however, we risk overlooking the next. Eagerness mixed with quiet patience rewards the alert and focused listener.

IF BRAHMS HAD

written a fift h symphony toward the end of his life, one might imagine something gloriously mellow, like the late clarinet music or the Four Serious Songs. But that is not the direction in which the Fourth Symphony pointed.

In its own context, it is the least comfortable of Brahms’s four symphonies, in terms of musical language and sonority. Being familiar and frequently heard in our own time, it rarely causes the wince of doubt that beset its original hearers. (We find it hard to imagine, similarly, that such a beautiful work as the Violin Concerto struck some of its original hearers as uncouth, but . . . history tells us otherwise.)

There is a higher level of dissonance and tension in the Fourth Symphony than in most of Brahms’s music, but as always with this composer, it is perfectly judged — and balanced by faultless craftsmanship and an abundant melodic gift. The symphony was first performed in Meiningen, a small town in central Germany that was briefly of great importance in the musical world thanks to the leadership of musicians like Hans von Bülow and Richard Strauss, who strongly encouraged Brahms and persuaded him in 1885 to grant them the first performance of his latest symphony. Home audiences in Vienna could be fickle, especially as Wagner-mania was sweeping across Europe.

As usual, Brahms shows little interest in the more colorful instruments that most composers were delighting in at that time — no english horn, no bass clarinet, no tuba, no harp.

Though he asks for a contrabassoon in the last two movements to enrich the bass, and a piccolo for the third-movement scherzo, where he ventures into the percussion section with a very un-Brahmsian triangle. And, although he clung to the oldfashioned hand-horns, not the valved variety then in universal use, he wrote for the horns with infinite mastery, as both the slow movement and the scherzo bear witness.

In general outline, Brahms does not deviate from his classical inheritance — a broad, substantial first movement, a Severance Hall 2013-14

About the Music

SYMPHONY NO. 4

At a Glance Brahms wrote his Fourth Symphony in Mürzzuschlag (Styria, Austria) during the summers of 1884 and 1885. He conducted the first performance on October 25, 1885, in Meiningen, Germany, where Hans von Bülow was the music director. The United States premiere took place on December 11, 1886, with Walter Damrosch conducting the New York Symphony.

This symphony runs about 40 minutes in performance. Brahms scored it for 2 flutes (one doubling piccolo), 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, contrabassoon, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, timpani, triangle, and strings. (Piccolo and triangle appear in the third movement only, contrabassoon in the third and fourth movements only, and trombones only in the finale.)

The Cleveland Orchestra first performed the Brahms Fourth in April 1925, led by music director Nikolai Sokoloff. It has been presented by the Orchestra with relative frequency since then, most recently at Severance Hall in April 2011 under the baton of Kurt Masur.

lyrical slow movement, a jocular scherzo, and a strong, assertive finale. After the First Symphony, whose opening Allegro is preceded by a slow introduction like a number of Beethoven’s symphonies (and Schumann’s Fourth), Brahms’s remaining symphonies adopt the maxim he always preferred — state your first theme clearly and firmly at the very outset. In this case, the graceful opening theme, with its drooping thirds, is woven into the texture of the whole movement. His writing for strings had never been so rich as here. The main contrast in this movement is rhythmic, for triplet figures keep intruding. At the end of the movement, however, the powerful drive of the original four-four pulse is unstoppable.

A pair of horns declare the slow movement opening with a misleadingly forceful gesture. For this is the tenderest of slow movements, rich in complex harmony and smooth melody. The clarinet is especially favored, and the second subject (first heard in the cellos) is one of Brahms’s greatest inspirations, intensified each time it comes back.

The scherzo brings out the hearty hill-walker in Brahms, and the triangle signals a breeziness that we rarely find in his music. The slower middle section is all too brief, as if Brahms was in a hurry to get back to his vigorous exercise, energetic enough to wonder what kind of finale could be sufficiently different to follow it.

Here, for the last movement, Brahms broke with convention and composed a passacaglia (although he did not call it that), a baroque form grandly exhibited by Bach in which a short harmonic sequence is many times repeated in elaborate variation. This is the moment the trombones have been waiting for (a discipline they learned from Beethoven’s Fifth), and they lay down the eight firm chords that define the sequence. The problem for Brahms was (as it was for Bach, too) not to seem to be stuck in the home key. His eight-bar outline is heard thirty times in wonderfully inventive variation, but it escapes from E minor only to taste, briefly, the nectar of E major following a desolate flute solo. The return to E minor sounds like a recapitulation of the beginning, with strong wind chords, but it simply heralds a stirring continuation of the variations, until, following one tremendous sequence after another, the symphony, in Sir Donald Tovey’s memorable words, “storms to its tragic close.”

Student attendance continues to grow at Severance Hall As The Cleveland Orchestra’s 2013-14 season has gotten underway, more Student Advantage Members, Frequent Fan Card holders, Student Ambassadors, and student groups are contributing to the continued success of these programs.

The Orchestra’s ongoing Student Advantage Program provides opportunities for students to attend concerts at Severance Hall and Blossom through discounted ticket offers. Membership is free to join and rewards members with discounted ticket purchases. For this season, a record 6,000 students have joined.

The Student Frequent Fan Card was introduced a year ago with great success. The program is continuing to grow, with the number of Frequent Fan Card holders tripling so far this season over 2012-13. Priced at $50, the Fan Card offers students unlimited single tickets (one ticket per card holder) to weekly classical subscription concerts all season long.

The Student Ambassador program is also growing. These young volunteers help to promote the Orchestra’s concert offerings and student programs directly on campuses across Northeast Ohio.

Also this year, a group of Student Marketing Advisors was formed to help the Orchestra incorporate student feedback and insight to programs, and give local marketing majors a chance to work closely with the Orchestra’s sales team.

In addition, attendance through Student Group sales are also bringing in more and more young people to Cleveland Orchestra concerts. From as far as Toronto and Nashville, these groups make up an integral part of the overall success toward generating participation and interest among young people.

All of these programs are supported by The Cleveland Orchestra’s Center for Future Audiences, through the Alexander and Sarah Cutler Fund for Student Audiences.

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 Orchestra’s endowment. Said to be Elisabeth Severance’s favorite flower, the lotus is found as a decorative motif in nearly every public area of Severance Hall.

The opera’s title character, portrayed by Czech soprano Martina M Janková, wends her way through life’s cycles of learning and danger, dange love and happiness. Janáček’s score mixes lyrical symphonic writing with wit the songful serenity and energetic pulse of Moravian folk music.

This Cleveland Orchestra opera presentation is supported in part by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and by the National Endowment for the Arts

THE CLEVELAN D ORCHESTRA R E C O R D I N G S great gift ideas

The Cleveland Orchestra’s catalog of recordings continues to grow. The newest DVD features Bruckner’s Fourth Symphony recorded live in the Abbey of St. Florian in Austria under the direction of Music Director Franz Welser-Möst in 2012 and released in May 2013.

W “A great orchestra, a Bruckner expert. . . . Five out of five stars,” declared Austria’s Kurier o newspaper. Released in 2012, Dvořák’s opera Rusalka on CD, recorded live at the Salzburg Festival, elicited the reviewer for London’s Sunday Times to praise the performance as “the most spellbinding account of Dvořák’s miraculous score I have ever heard, either in the themiraculou atre 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.

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

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.

THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA Mitsuko Uchida, piano and conductor William Preucil, concertmaster

Celebrated as one of today’s foremost violinists, Nikolaj Znaider is also fast becoming one of the most versatile artists of his generation, uniting his talents as soloist, conductor and chamber musician. At Severance Hall, he performs and conducts a delightful and varied program, from a vibrant violin concerto

by Mozart to Mendelssohn’s warm and sunny “Italian” Symphony. And, to close, Elgar’s masterful Enigma Variations, depicting in music the composer’s friends and family — their characteristics and foibles, their personalities and passions.

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, with performances of two more of Mozart’s piano concertos (Nos. 18 and 19).

“Mitsuko Uchida’s Mozart playing is stunningly sensitive, crystalline, and true.”
