Perspectivesfrom the Executive Director Spring 2014 Two of this season’s major projects take place in May — following many months of planning and much preparation. The first is the premiere here at Severance Hall of our brand-new, made-for-Cleveland production of Leoš Janáček’s opera The Cunning Little Vixen, with evening performances on May 17, 20, and 22, and a special matinee on Saturday, May 24. At the same time, from May 17 to 24, the Orchestra is celebrating a week of musicmaking in Lakewood during our second “At Home” neighborhood residency. Together, these two projects showcase our commitment to serving the community with diverse performances and collaborative partnerships.

Franz Welser-Möst is at the center of both projects. In addition to leading the performances of Vixen, he will conduct an Education Concert for Lakewood High School students on May 23 and the culminating free public concert of our “At Home” in Lakewood residency on Saturday evening, May 24, bringing to a close an action-packed week of music performances, community activities, and public musical get-togethers. Every day of that week, Cleveland Orchestra musicians are involved in exciting and sometimes unexpected ways to bring music to the streets and homes of Lakewood, and into the lives of its citizens. The week’s presentations and collaborations also bring to a close the residency’s special semester-long involvement with Lakewood’s music education programs.

Franz has also been instrumental in integrating opera into The Cleveland Orchestra’s annual schedule at Severance Hall. This season, with The Cunning Little Vixen, we are creating our own brand-new operatic production for the first time since the mid-1980s. For this, we are jumping forward with technology, to create a presentation that compellingly combines live action with projected video animation. Working with director Yuval Sharon and the creative team at Robot Studios in Los Angeles, we are building this innovative production from the ground up.

Because of the unique nature of this opera production for The Cleveland Orchestra and Northeast Ohio, we are using new ways to communicate the excitement of this undertaking.

A series of video “Production Diaries” about The Making of The Cunning Little Vixen is unfolding online. These videos feature behind-the-scenes looks at the creative team and processes in motion. I hope that you will take a few minutes to see what’s in store for you at Severance Hall in May. Visit clevelandorchestra.com to view these using the homepage link.

It takes concentrated effort, many hands, and dedicated focus to do all of this. Not just from the Orchestra musicians, staff, trustees and other volunteers, but from the community surrounding us, supporting us, and collaborating with us. Our neighborhood residencies are created at the grassroots level. This year’s partnerships with businesses, schools, and organizations from across Lakewood have been stimulating and creative. The opera production is also possible only through the collaboration of many, with support from generous donors, including The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and a group of local donors who have responded to this Foundation’s matching gift challenge to support our ongoing opera presentations. Thank you to everyone involved.

DRIVING THROUGH SEVERANCE HALL. When Severance Hall opened on February 5, 1931, the building featured a drivethrough for passenger drop-off and pick-up in operation in the 1930s. Later closed and used as restaurant space, the area became the Smith Lobby, with new restrooms and ticket office space, during the building renovations in 1999-2000.

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 marks his twelfth 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 in 2013 of an “At Home” neighborhood residency program that brings The Cleveland Orchestra to a single neighborhood or town for an intensive period of special activities and performances, as well as the broaden-

ing 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 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 staged opera and ballet, as well as KeyBank Fridays@7 and Celebrity Series at Severance Hall and movie, themed, and family presentations at Blossom) to play more music for more people; continuing and expanded educational partnerships with schools, colleges, and universities across Northeast Ohio and beyond; 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.

Seven music directors have guided and shaped the ensemble’s growth and sound: Nikolai Sokoloff, 1918-33; Artur Rodzinski, 1933-43; Erich Leinsdorf, 1943-46; George Szell, 1946-70; Lorin Maazel, 1972-82; Christoph von Dohnányi, 1984-2002; and Franz Welser-Möst, since 2002. The opening in 1931 of Severance Hall as the Orchestra’s permanent home, with later acoustic refinements and remodeling of the hall under Szell’s guidance, 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. Touring performances throughout the United States and, beginning in 1957, to Europe and across the globe have confirmed Cleveland’s place among the world’s top orchestras. Year-round performances became a reality 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.

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 leads an innovative made-for-Cleveland production of Leoš Janáček’s The Cunning Little Vixen at Severance Hall.

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 at New York’s Carnegie Hall, in concert at La Scala Milan, 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.

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 neighborhood residencies in May 2013 in the Gordon Square community of Cleveland. The activities, including a Cleveland Orchestra Concert at Saint Colman Catholic Church, were taped and aired by WVIZ/PBS ideastream. WCLV 104.9 also broadcast the concert on radio.

The goals of the neighborhood residencies are to bring increased visibility and vibrancy to greater Cleveland’s neighborhoods, build community through arts and culture in tandem with local partners, and offer more people the opportunity to engage with the music and the musicians of The Cleveland Orchestra. The culminating residency week of activities will include solo and chamber music performances in unique locations, educational programs at local schools, and new artistic collaborations with neighborhood arts and cultural organizations — all in partnership with local businesses and community groups.

Complete “at Home in Lakewood” details can be found at clevelandorchestra.com.

THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA

The Cleveland Orchestra and the Lakewood community are joining together to present “The Cleveland Orchestra at Home in Lakewood,” a neighborhood residency that features an intensive week of free public performances and events May 17-24. A series of prepartory events in partnership with Lakewood schools began in February and continue through the public residency week.

The centerpiece of the Orchestra’s activities in Lakewood will be a free Cleveland Orchestra concert led by Music Director Franz Welser-Möst at Lakewood Civic Auditorium on Saturday evening, May 24, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets were distributed at locations throughout Lakewood beginning on Saturday, April 26. (A delayed telecast of the concert will be presented by WVIZ/PBS ideastream; the concert will be broadcast live on radio by WCLV 104.9 ideastream. The television broadcast will feature a composite of community collaborations, musical performances, and joint events and activities throughout Lakewood.)

“Creating a ‘grass roots’ 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 Michael P. Summers, Lakewood’s mayor, in announcing resdiency details. “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, said, “We are ecstatic to have been chosen as The Cleveland Orchestra’s destination for immersion into a Northeast Ohio community.

PNC helps introduce children to music and more . . .

May 16 and 17 mark the final performances of this season’s PNC Musical Rainbows series, with a program titled “Heavenly Harps.”

Sponsored by PNC Bank, Musical Rainbows concerts for pre-K to Grade 1 students take place in Reinberger Chamber Hall and introduce specific instruments and instrument families. With animated support from host Maryann Nagel, Cleveland Orchestra musicians bring their instruments, talk about them, and play short selections. Concerts feature a mix of serious pieces and age-appropriate music from “Old MacDonald” to the “Bingo” song.

PNC Bank has provided more than $5 million in grants for local preschool education in recent years, including $2.5 million to support programs developed by The Cleveland Orchestra, Cleveland Museum of Art, PlayhouseSquare, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum.

Support from PNC Bank also enables the Orchestra to engage young children in music and learning, right from the start, with PNC Grow Up Great. This pre-school program uses music to help children develop basic skills like counting and following instructions — necessary for success in kindergarten and beyond.

According to PNC Regional President Paul Clark, the results have been more than gratifying. “We have been so impressed with the positive results these programs have delivered for teachers, parents, and students,” he says.

“Teachers report that they are more confident and creative in their ability to teach the arts, parents have become more likely to spend time engaging with their children and arts, and students who participate are receiving higher scores in music and imaginative play — with a positive impact on their cognitive, social, and academic development.”

The Board of Trustees extends special thanks to the members of The Cleveland Orchestra for donating their services for four performances this season as part of the musicians’ ongoing commitment to provide additional revenue-generating opportunities to benefit the institution. These four concerts include the Severance Hall Gala with Itzhak Perlman in September 2013 and a benefit concert in Palm Beach, Florida, in January 2014, along with performances at New York’s Lincoln Center and in Cologne, Germany, as part of the Orchestra’s touring this past autumn.

“These and other donated services each year are a meaningful demonstration of the musicians’ commitment to this institution’s future,” notes Gary Hanson, executive director. “The members of The Cleveland Orchestra are committed to ensuring that the Orchestra can present music as an important and vital part of life.”

The Cleveland Orchestra is pleased to announce the creation of the Joe and Marlene Toot Head Librarian Endowed Chair through a legacy gift to the Orchestra. “The Head Librarian is a critically essential member of the Orchestra — as integral to our musical success as any instrumentalist,” says Gary Hanson. “It is with deep gratitude that I thank Joe and Marlene Toot for making such a generous commitment through their estate.”

The current head librarian, Robert O’Brien, is the ninth in that position since the Orchestra’s founding in 1918. He has served as head librarian since 2008. In this role, O’Brien ensures that each musician has the right music on the right music stand at the right time for every rehearsal and concert. He makes all scores available to every musician for individual practice, and ensures that every part and each marking matches the conductor’s needs. He catalogs and maintains the Orchestra’s extensive collection of musical scores — those that are part of the Severance Hall music library and those rented for particular performances. He daily works with tempo markings and musical scores in multiple languages, from German to French, Italian to English, and more.

The gift from Joe and Marlene Toot will support the funding of The Cleveland Orchestra’s Head Librarian position in perpetuity. Thousands of generous individuals have made a commitment to the Orchestra through outright endowment gifts or legacy plans, through the annual fund and special project support. To learn more about including the Orchestra in your estate plans, please contact Bridget Mundy at 216-231-8006.

or an equivalent classical solo piece; Broadway or “pop” tunes are not acceptable. In addition to the prepared piece, students will be asked to sight-read and demonstrate their vocal range.

An accompanist is provided at the audition.

The Cleveland Orchestra Chorus is one of the few professionally trained, all-volunteer choruses sponsored by a major American orchestra.

Coming from nearly fifty Northeast Ohio communities, members of the Chorus perform with The Cleveland Orchestra in subscription and Christmas concerts each year. Previous choral experience and sight-reading skills are required.

The Blossom Festival Chorus includes many members of the Cleveland Orchestra Chorus and other Northeast Ohio choral groups. It has established itself as a permanent annual part of the summertime Blossom Festival and has sung in more than 100 concerts since its 1968 debut.

Both groups are directed by Robert Porco.

Auditions for the Cleveland Orchestra Chorus and Blossom Festival Chorus were held in mid-April. Those interested can inquire about future audition dates. Those auditioning are asked to prepare two pieces from the classical literature, one of which should be in a foreign language. Each piece should be approximately two minutes in length. Previous choral experience and sight-reading skills are required. An accompanist is usually provided at the audition.

To schedule an audition, call the Chorus Office at 216-231-7374, or send an email to chorus@clevelandorchestra.com.

THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA

Spring audition dates for the choral groups sponsored by The Cleveland Orchestra have been announced. The auditions — for adults, youth, and children — are for membership in groups singing during the 2014 Blossom Music Festival and the 2014-15 Season at Severance Hall. Auditions will take place in May and June.

The Cleveland Orchestra Choruses embody a long-standing commitment to choral music in which community members of all ages have the opportunity to participate.

The Cleveland Orchestra Children’s Chorus is open to students in grades 6-8 and directed by Ann Usher, and the Cleveland Orchestra Children’s Preparatory Chorus is open to students in grades 5-8 and directed by Suzanne Walters. Both groups are holding auditions on June 2, June 7, and June 14. The Children’s Chorus, formed in 1967, provides musical training in vocal production and choral performance skills.

The Children’s Preparatory Chorus provides children with initial choral experiences to which younger singers may not have been exposed, while establishing a solid foundation in vocal production techniques.

To audition, children must sing one verse of “America” (My Country, ’Tis of Thee) with piano accompaniment in the key of his or her choice and one verse of “America the Beautiful” (Oh beautiful, for spacious skies) without accompaniment in the key of D. Singing scales and doing some rhythmic exercises may also be included in the audition, for which an accompanist is provided.

Students in grades 9-12 are welcome to audition for the Cleveland Orchestra Youth Chorus, directed by Lisa Wong, on May 3, May 11, or June 11. Created in 1991, the Youth Chorus helps raise awareness of choral music-making in the schools of Northeast Ohio and encourages students to continue their choral activities through college and into adulthood. The Youth Chorus collaborates each season in performance with the Cleveland Orchestra Youth Orchestra.

Youth Chorus audition requirements are to prepare a piece from the OMEA Solo & Ensemble list,

LEARNING MORE ABOUT THE MUSIC

Concert Previews The Cleveland Orchestra offers a variety of options for learning more about the music before each concert begins.

For each concert, the program book includes program notes commenting on and providing background about the composer and his or her work being performed that week, along with biographies of the guest artists and other information. You can read these before the concert, at intermission, or afterward. (Program notes are also posted ahead of time online at clevelandorchestra.com, usually by the Monday directly preceding the concert.)

The Orchestra’s Music Study Groups also provide a way of exploring the music in more depth. These classes, professionally led by Dr. Rose Breckenridge, meet weekly in locations around Cleveland to explore the music being played each week and the stories behind the composers’ lives.

Free Concert Previews are presented one hour before most subscription concerts throughout the season at Severance Hall. The previews (see listing at right) feature a variety of speakers and guest artists speaking or conversing about that weekend’s program, and often include the opportunity for audience members to ask questions.

have leading composers in Grieg, Nielsen, and Sibelius respectively. In Sweden there is the duumvirate of Berwald and Stenhammar to choose from. But the truth is that all the Nordic or Scandinavian countries have had a host of strong composers since the 18th century, with a particularly flourishing contribution from Finland in the recent half century.

Whole seasons of excellent concerts could be put together from these sources, and it is purely a matter of regret that the symphonic resources of the world have so much wealth from other countries that a great deal of good and great music will always lie in obscurity.

Two of this weekend’s pieces, the Grieg Piano Concerto and Sibelius’s Fift h Symphony, could never be described as lying in obscurity. But the name of Aulis Sallinen, well known in Finland and a well-respected living composer, is unfamiliar here. Thus, we have the opportunity to listen, and to recognize that he belongs firmly to his country’s traditions and has written music that earns its place in our programs. A great deal of his music has been recorded, so it is easily accessible to those Sallinen, Sibelius, who are curious to hear more. and Grieg For the more familiar Grieg, with pianist Garrick Ohlsson, and Sibelius’s Fifth, we welcome long-popular works. With the symphony, we have the added pleasure of hearing it under guest conductor Osmo Vänskä, whose recent recordings of Sibelius symphonies with the Minnesota Orchestra have earned wide-spread praise, including a Grammy Award and nominations.

Osmo Vänskä Acclaimed Finnish conductor Osmo Vänskä is recognized for his interpretations of standard, contemporary, and Nordic repertoires. He recently signed a two-year contract to resume his position as music director of the Minnesota Orchestra, which he led from 2003 to 2013. His Cleveland Orchestra debut was in August 2000. He most recently conducted the Orchestra in February 2006.

Mr. Vänskä is a welcome guest conductor with many of the world’s leading orchestras, including those of Berlin, Boston, Chicago, Czech Republic, Leipzig, London, New York, and Philadelphia. He also regularly leads performances at New York’s Mostly Mozart Festival and with the BBC Proms.

This season, Osmo Vänskä’s appearances include engagements with the Bamberg Symphony, Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, Lahti Symphony Orchestra, National Symphony Orchestra, New World Symphony, Orchestre National de Lyon, Orquesta Sinfónica de Galicia, San Francisco Symphony, Singapore Symphony, and the Vienna Symphony.

Formerly principal conductor of the Lahti Symphony Orchestra, chief conductor of the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, and music director of the Iceland Symphony Orchestra, Mr. Vänskä studied at Finland’s Sibelius Academy and was awarded first prize in the 1982 Besançon International Young Conductor’s Competition. He began his professional career as a co-principal clarinetist of the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra and principal of the Turku Philharmonic. Recently he has returned to the instrument, recording Kalevi Aho’s chamber works.

Osmo Vänskä gained early recognition as a recording artist for BIS with his landmark Sibelius cycle with the Lahti Symphony Orchestra. His album with the Minnesota Orchestra of Sibelius’s Symphonies Nos. 1 and 4 won a 2014 Grammy award — following the nomination of the album of the Second and Fifth Symphonies in 2013. A further Minnesota Orchestra recording, the second featuring Beethoven’s piano concertos with Yevgeny Sudbin, was released last year.

Among Mr. Vänskä’s honors are a Royal Philharmonic Society Award, Musical America’s 2005 Conductor of the Year award, and the Arts and Letters award from the Finlandia Foundation.

Symphony No. 1, Opus 24 composed 1970-71 THE COMPOSER AULIS SALLINEN

by

Aulis

SALLINEN born April 9, 1935 Salmi, Russia resides in Helsinki, Finland

At a Glance Sallinen wrote his First Symphony in 1970-71. It was premiered in December 1971, in Helsinki, with the Helsinki City Symphony Orchestra conducted by Jorma Panula.

This symphony runs about 15 minutes in performance. Sallinen scored it for 3 flutes (third doubling piccolo), 3 oboes, 3 clarinets (third doubling bass clarinet), 2 bassoons, contrabassoon, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, timpani, percussion (wood blocks, tam-tam, cymbals, snare drum, bass drum, tubular belles, marimba, glockenspiel, vibraphone) harp, and strings.

would be the first to acknowledge that he has followed in the footsteps of his great compatriot Jean Sibelius, and that his First Symphony reveals the similarity of their footprints. He has composed eight symphonies, yet he is best known as an opera composer and as a leader of the flourishing school of composers that Finland’s unique national support of music has produced in recent generations.

His early works subscribed to the radical trends of the 1950s, but the First Symphony, from 1970-71, marked a move to a more traditional language, with tonal chords and clusters, and the systematic development of themes and ideas. More recently, his music has embraced a raft of topics of broad human interest, from philosophy and history to politics.

The First Symphony is a work of wide general appeal. Its musical argument centers around the note F-sharp and the chord of F-sharp minor. The note returns at critical junctures, presented forcefully in the middle register, and melodic ideas seems to grow out from it. The little snap figure in the piccolo and flutes at the beginning, for example; then the melody that keeps returning to its origin, heard first on a solo muted viola and taken up by other solo strings. Another striking idea is the unison F-sharp that breaks wide apart into a top-to-bottom chord. There is other action, of course, but the strength of long held notes and chords, a very Sibelian feature, especially in the brass, holds the music together and ultimately brings it back to its origin in a single note and a single chord. Sallinen also uses a large percussion section with great skill.

The coherence of this one-movement symphony is impressive, and although Sallinen would not presume to compare it with Sibelius’s masterly Seventh, also in one movement, the continuity of a tradition is plain and very fruitful. Sallinen’s operas are mostly based on Finnish lore and literature, although his most recent opera is King Lear. Sallinen’s first opera, The Horseman, is an epic set in an undefined period of the past. The King Goes Forth to France, which has been staged at London’s Royal Opera and at Santa Fe, is set in the future and gradually works back in time. And his opera Kullervo, on the Finnish national epic, has been staged in Los Angeles.

Piano Concerto in A minor, Opus 16 composed 1868 O F TH E G RE AT PIAN O C O N C E R T O S

Severance Hall 2013-14

that make up the soloist’s usual repertoire, Grieg’s is the earliest to come from outside the Austro-German tradition that gave us the concertos of Mozart, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Liszt, Schumann, and Brahms. Because for many people this piano concerto stands for Grieg, and Grieg stands for Norwegian music, we hear a Norwegian flavor in the main theme of the first movement (where there really is none) and in the spirited dance of the last movement (where there is plenty). But Grieg was a product of German training, and his clearest model for a piano concerto was the concerto, also in A minor, by Robert Schumann. Between the ages of fifteen and nineteen, Grieg studied at the Leipzig Conservatory, a school where the Beethoven tradition was firmly inculcated in its students. He also attended the famous Gewandhaus concerts where he heard Clara Schumann performing her husband’s classic concerto.

None of his Leipzig teachers suggested to Grieg that his music ought to sound distinctively Scandinavian. The Danish composer Niels Gade had earlier spent many years in Leipzig and had been a friend of both Mendelssohn and Schumann; it is hard to identify any Danish qualities in his music, polished and agreeable though his works are. Grieg’s generation was the first to feel the need to craft a new musical language out of the folk music of their own country, as Smetana did in Bohemia and the Russians did in their own land.

In Grieg’s case, it did not happen overnight. His early works, which cling closely to classical models, include a symphony, a piano sonata, and two violin sonatas, interspersed with smaller piano pieces and songs. On his return from Leipzig, he lived for considerable periods in Denmark, whose musical culture was several degrees richer than that of Norway at the time. The Piano Concerto was in fact composed in Denmark in the summer of 1868, where Grieg spent the summer with his young wife. And it was first performed in Denmark, too. The soloist and dedicatee was the young Norwegian virtuoso Edmund Neupert. Grieg was a good pianist, but although he played the solo part himself in London and Manchester in later years, he preferred to leave it in the hands of specialists on his concert tours.

had come under the influence of a number of Scandinavian musicians who were fired by enthusiasm for anything that belonged uniquely to their own countries. They were exploring folksong and dance music, and compiling collections for publication. Then, in the summer of 1869, Grieg came upon a volume entitled Mountain Melodies Old and New compiled by a Norwegian organist, Ludvig Mathias Lindeman. He immediately made arrangements of twenty-five of Lindeman’s tunes, and he came back to the collection many times in the course of his life.

The effect of these revelations was to turn the composer away from large-scale symphonic works. There never was another symphony or another piano concerto. Instead he devoted himself to songs and smaller piano pieces, many of which were compiled in sets of Lyric Pieces and played by pianists all over the world. He wrote stage music, including the famous Peer Gynt music of 1874, and a varied corpus of choral music. If the songs and choral music were not mostly settings of Norwegian and Danish texts, they would be much better known today.

The three movements of the Piano Concerto enjoy the satisfying balance of classical form, with a richness of melody that makes the work so attractive. In the slow movement, muted strings present the main melody with sumptuous harmony, while the soloist responds first with elegant tracery and then with a full-blooded statement of the melody. The horn is prominently featured throughout this movement, which leads directly into the spirited finale, with its unmistakable echo of peasant boots and its taxing demands on the soloist’s technique.

The flute introduces a melody of a quite different sort, which turns out at the end, after the return of the dance has been transformed into a lively three-four pattern, to be called upon to provide the closing bars in shamelessly grandiose style.

—Hugh Macdonald © 2014

At a Glance Grieg composed this piano concerto during the summer of 1868 near the village of Sölleröd in Denmark. It was first performed April 3, 1869, in Copenhagen, with Edmund Neupert as soloist and Grieg conducting. Grieg revised the score several times, most noticeably in 1906-07 when he expanded the scoring from two to four horns. The concerto is dedicated to Neupert.

This concerto runs about 30 minutes in performance.

Grieg scored it for 2 flutes (second doubling piccolo), 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, timpani, and strings, plus the solo piano.

The Cleveland Orchestra first played this concerto at the Sixth Popular Concert of the ensemble’s second season, on January 11, 1920.

It was programmed fairly frequently over the next half century, and then somewhat less frequently. The Orchestra last presented it in March 2012, here at Severance Hall and in Miami, with Giancarlo Guerrero conducting and with Gabriela Montero as the soloist.

Symphony No. 5 in E-flat major, Opus 82 composed 1912-15, revised 1916-19 WE TEND TO THINK OF

by

Jean

SIBELIUS born December 8, 1865 Hämeenlinna, Finland died September 20, 1957 Järvenpää, Finland

Severance Hall 2013-14

Sibelius primarily as a symphonist, yet he did not embark on his first symphony until he was well into his thirties. At the time, much like Richard Strauss, who was only a year older, Sibelius had dabbled unsuccessfully in opera, but was best known for his tone poems. While Strauss was soon to move definitively towards opera, Sibelius built a solid achievement in writing his seven symphonies, the last dating from 1924. The mythical Eighth, so keenly anticipated and so lavishly discussed, never appeared, even though Sibelius lived a full thirty years after apparently retiring from composition. (We could equally ponder a comparison of Sibelius with Beethoven, who also waited until he was thirty before producing the first of his immortal Nine symphonies.)

Comparing Sibelius to Beethoven was, in fact, a recurrent element of early 20th-century music criticism. Indeed, the English critic Cecil Gray roundly declared Sibelius to be “the greatest master of the symphony since the death of Beethoven.”

Every symphonist in the last two hundred years has had to run that gauntlet, but Sibelius was, in his own mind, at first thinking not so much of Beethoven as of Borodin, Tchaikovsky, and Bruckner, whose works impressed him deeply. Sibelius’s First Symphony appeared in 1899 and with it — as well as from Finlandia and the Lemminkäinen Suite — came international renown. He was invited to conduct his music in Stockholm, Paris, Heidelberg, and Berlin. In Leipzig, Sibelius acquired a publisher, and he met Dvořák in Prague. His fame and worth thus lauded abroad, he was awarded a Finnish state pension for life and was able to resign his teaching post at Helsinki University.

There were to be dark times ahead, when poor health, money problems, and anxiety about his standing in contemporary music dogged him, but for the first few years of the new century Sibelius was riding high. The Second Symphony appeared in 1902, the Third in 1907, the Fourth in 1911. In 1914, he visited the United States, where he received an honorary degree at Yale and conducted The Oceanides at the Norfolk Festival in Connecticut. He was delighted by everything and would have returned for later concerts if World War I had not intervened.

During the American visit, Sibelius’s thoughts turned to About the Music

We tend to think of Sibelius primarily as a symphonist, yet he did not embark on his first symphony until he was well into his thirties.

Nevertheless, Sibelius built a solid achievement in his seven symphonies, the last dating from 1924.

52

his next symphony, the Fifth, and he finished it in time for his 50th birthday, December 8, 1915, the occasion for a celebratory concert at Helsinki University, where he conducted its first performance.

The symphony gave him more trouble than usual, however, for he revised it the following year (and performed it again exactly a year after the first concert) — and then revised and premiered it a third time in 1919, after the war’s end (when Finland’s independence from Russia had finally been secured, with fighting between the White nationalists and the Red proRussian forces). The Fifth has always been one of the most admired of all Sibelius’s symphonies, revealing his style in strong positive colors, free of at least much of the mystification that clouds certain of his other works. (Of course, it is this very mystification that provides the real essence of Sibelius for some listeners.)

The most important of the revisions that the symphony underwent illustrates one of the central features of Sibelius’s style. He had always had a knack for relating different tempos to one another and for the smooth handling of the accelerations and decelerations his music naturally seems to generate. (This was to culminate in the one-movement Seventh Symphony, which incorporates music of all different tempos in a seamless exposition.) In the Fifth Symphony, Sibelius originally planned a first movement of moderate tempo, to be followed by a swift scherzo in 3/4 time. In his revisions, these two movements were merged, so that as the opening movement proceeds, we gradually become aware of a quickening of pace. Almost unnoticed, after extensive exploration of the opening material, the music takes on the animated character of a scherzo, fluttering away like a butterfly emerging from a chrysalis.

Thus, the Fift h Symphony that we know today has three movements, not four, although the range and variety of music is wide. There are rootless murmurings in the strings, fragmented calls in the winds, seemingly random entries of the timpani, and a great solidity in the brass transformed in the finale into a glorious hymn to the Nordic gods.

The central movement is a peaceful interlude, as charming as anything by . . . Felix Mendelssohn, perhaps — although even here the music can more than once find itself hastening forward in a break-out of energy before falling back to its previous state of calm. This middle movement is notable for About the Music

The Cleveland Orchestra

its constant pairing of wind instruments in thirds (playing parallel lines constantly spaced a third apart on the melodic scale), a feature that recurs in the finale when the brass intone the great swinging theme that drives it forward. Thus, in the last movement, the horns and trumpets are frequently paired in thirds, yet here their melody is not genteel and stepwise, it strides across wide intervals — inviting comparison with the giants that have inhabited the great Scandinavian forests since time immemorial.

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 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 Vladimir Jurowski, conductor Janine Jansen, violin *

Now in its 28th season, the Cleveland Orchestra Youth Orchestra is a full symphony orchestra comprised of some of Northeast Ohio’s best and brightest young musicians.

Each season, this acclaimed training ensemble presents concerts of traditional and newer works, filled with an enthusiasm and interest that can rival that of their teachers and mentors. “A gripping performance,” commented the Cleveland Plain Dealer of a recent concert, “one that would have been the envy of an adult ensemble.”

Prokofiev’s Cinderella is a fairytale score, delicate and charming. But like all fairytales, a dark undercurrent runs beneath. In this score, the chiming of a clock can sound like a thunderous battlefield, while the waltzes and love scenes sing. Benjamin Britten’s charming Violin Concerto * and Stravinsky’s explosive Scherzo fantastique round out this weekend’s season-ending concerts with guest conductor Vladimir Jurowski and violinst Janine Jansen.

Sponsor: BakerHostetler * Not part of the Friday Morning concert.
