Dear Friends, Welcome to the thirteenth season of The Cleveland Orchestra in Miami, presented in partnership with the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County. This annual series of concerts offers the South Florida community performances by one of the world’s finest symphony orchestras — in a celebrated concert hall that is Miami’s own.

We kick off the Orchestra’s two-week residency here in South Florida this year with Mahler’s Second Symphony (“Resurrection”), conducted by Franz Welser-Möst, now in his seventeenth year as music director of The Cleveland Orchestra. The second weekend includes a program of contrasting musical styles, from Debussy to Gershwin, featuring acclaimed soprano Barbara Hannigan as a singer, conductor — or both simultaneously.

As the Orchestra enters our second century, we remain committed to a singular mission — sharing unforgettable musical experiences with audiences of all ages. We believe in the power of music to inspire and move people, to enrich lives and bring us together. We are pleased and proud to showcase the Orchestra’s acclaimed artistry each year here in Miami. We foster connections by delivering extraordinary musical experiences — and more.

In addition to performing for music-loving communities around the world, The Cleveland Orchestra has always stayed true to its original mandate as an educational resource at home by reaching out in order to touch the lives of young people. We’ve presented free daytime concerts for Miami-Dade County Public School students every year since 2007, and we continue to engage them with mentorships and special musical programs.

Many thanks for your enthusiasm and encouragement — we’re deeply grateful for this annual opportunity to share these gifted musicians with you.

But we can’t do this without your support; we hope you will consider joining our list of Miami-area donors (see pages 4-5).

We look forward seeing you again next year. Enjoy the music.

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

P H OTO BY M I C H A E L P O E H N

Franz Welser-Möst is among today’s most distinguished conductors in the world. The 201819 season marks his seventeenth year as music director of The Cleveland Orch­estra, with the future of this acclaimed partnership extending into the next decade. The New York Times has declared Cleveland under Welser-Möst’s direction to be the “best American orchestra“ for its virtuosity, elegance of sound, variety of color, and chamber-like musical cohesion.

During The Cleveland Orchestra’s centennial last season — dedicated to the hometown community that created it — Franz Welser-Möst led two ambitious festivals, The Ecstasy of Tristan and Isolde, examining the power of music to portray and create transcendence, followed by a concentrated look at the philosophical and political messages within Beethoven’s music in The Prometheus Project (presented around the world on three continents, in Cleveland, Vienna, and Tokyo).

As a guest conductor, Mr. Welser-Möst enjoys a close and productive relation­ ship with the Vienna Philharmonic. His recent performances with the Philharmonic have included a series of critically-acclaimed opera productions at the Salzburg Festival, as well as appearances on tour at New York’s Carnegie Hall, at the Lucerne Festival, and in concert at La Scala Milan. Performances with the Philharmonic this season include appearances at the Salzburg, Grafenegg, and Glyndebourne festivals, and, in November, at Versailles and Tokyo’s Suntory Hall. He returns to Vienna in the spring to lead Mahler’s Eighth Symphony. He also leads performances of Mozart’s The Magic Flute in a new production directed by Yuval Sharon with the Berlin State Opera, and Strauss’s Ariadne auf Naxos at Milan’s Teatro alla Scala.

From 2010 to 2014, Franz Welser-Möst served as general music director of the Vienna State Opera. His partnership with the company included an acclaimed new production of Wagner’s Ring cycle and a series of critically-praised new productions. He had previously led the Zurich Opera for a decade, culminating in three seasons as general music director (2005-08).

Mr. Welser-Möst was awarded the Pro Arte Europa­preis in 2017 for his advocacy and achievements as a musical ambassador. Other honors and awards 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 Decoration of Honor from the Republic of Austria for his artistic achievements, and the Kilenyi Medal from the Bruckner Society of America.

Sonata in D minor for Cello and Piano

by CLAUDE DEBUSSY (1862-1918)

1. Prologue: Lent, sostenuto e molto risoluto 2. Sérénade: Modérément animé — 3. Finale: Animé, léger et nerveux

Brian Thornton, cello Carolyn Gadiel Warner, piano

About the Music — During World War One, the continuing news of carnage and death and ongoing hostilities affected Debussy greatly. With encouragement from publisher Jacques Durand, the composer decided to write a series of six sonatas to “affirm French culture” in the face of the war’s madness. Each of the first five would feature a different instrument or instruments, with the final work bringing together all of the instruments. In these years, Debussy was having difficulty finding his own inspiration, and looked to ideas and ideals from French Baroque music of two centuries earlier. The Sonata for Cello and Piano was the first of the set completed and premiered. It was influenced by musical stylings of François Couperin (1668-1733), filtered through Debussy’s more modern sensibilities. By the time of his death in March 1918, more than half a year before the war’s end, Debussy had completed only three of the six sonatas.

Concert Preludes are free to ticketholders to that evening’s Cleveland Orchestra concert.

Embraced by audiences after World War II, Mahler’s music found its place in our complex, complicated modern world.

About the Manuscript: The manuscript score to Mahler’s Second Symphony made news in re­ cent years by being one of the few such manuscripts to come up for auction. Mahler had kept the score (which includes corrections and alterations he made) during his lifetime, after which his widow, Alma Mahler, gifted it to his friend the Dutch conductor Willem Mengelberg at the first Mahler Festival in Am­ sterdam, in 1920. Following Mengelberg’s death in 1951, ownership passed to the Mengelberg Founda­ tion. In 1984, it was sold to Mahler enthusiast and U.S. entrepreneur Gilbert Kaplan. After Kaplan’s death in January 2016, the manuscript was offered for sale on the open market and sold for a record price.

Symphony No. 2 in C minor composed 1888-94

At a Glance

by

Gustav

MAHLER born July 7, 1860 Kalischt, Bohemia (now Kalište in the Czech Republic) died May 18, 1911 Vienna

Mahler composed his Second Sym­ phony between 1888 and 1894, al­ though a few idea sketches date from 1886. It was premiered on December 13, 1895, with the Berlin Philharmonic conducted by Mahler. (The first three movements of the symphony, without the final two, had been first performed the previous March, also with the Berlin Philharmonic led by Mahler.)

Mahler also introduced this symphony to the United States, conducting its first performance here on December 8, 1908, at a concert of the New York Symphony at Carnegie Hall.

Although it is commonly given the nickname “Resurrection” from the hymn text of the fourth movement, Mahler did not name it that.

This symphony runs about 80 minutes in performance. Mahler scored it for a large orchestra of 4 flutes (all four doubling piccolo), 4

oboes (third and fourth doubling eng­ lish horn), 3 clarinets (third doubling bass clarinet), 2 E-flat clarinets, 4 bas­ soons (one doubling contrabassoon), 8 horns, 6 trumpets, 4 trombones, tuba, 2 sets of timpani, percussion (snare drums, bass drum, cymbals, 2 tam-tams, triangle, glockenspiel, 3 bells, rute [a bundle of twigs or a birch-broom]), 2 harps, organ, and strings, plus soprano and alto soloists, and mixed chorus. In the final move­ ment, there is an offstage band of 2 horns, 4 trumpets, timpani, bass drum, cymbals, and triangle.

The Cleveland Orchestra first per­ formed Mahler’s Second Symphony in January 1936 at Severance Hall, con­ ducted by Artur Rodzinski. Prior to this season, the most recent performances were given in Cleveland and on tour in Europe in the autumn of 2007, led by Franz Welser-Möst.

About the Music

G U S TAV M A H L E R ’ S M U S I C , and his life, are full of contrasts.

His very person and every day were filled with juxtapositions of the refined with the coarse — of big and small, of rapid mood swings and peaceful contentment, of transcendent meditation and crass humor, of joy and wonderment together with sadness and the commonplace.

He was an exacting and mesmerizing conductor sometimes filled with grave self-doubt. He was raised a Jew and then became a Catholic (at age 37), but was strongly attracted to Buddhist beliefs in reincarnation.

During his own lifetime Mahler was best known, and most admired, as a conductor. His music was less favorably reviewed. Although it appealed to some (Richard Strauss was an early advocate), it found many audiences quite unprepared for the startling juxtaposition of sounds that Mahler frequently wrote — massive orchestras in which a passage for only a few The Cleveland Orchestra 2018-19

instruments might be suddenly swamped by the entire ensemble welling up excitedly, followed by something equally different and bewildering. His music, which to 21st-century ears sounds so normal in its churning, was often a perplexing “curtain of chaos” to 19thcentury audiences raised on Beethoven and Brahms, or even Berlioz and Wagner.

As a conductor, Mahler was largely self-taught. There was, in fact, little choice in the matter. He couldn’t take conducting courses during his time at the Vienna Conservatory because none were offered — no one then thought conducting was something you could teach. Nor had he apprenticed with an experienced pracMahler’s music, titioner, although he was eventually able to watch and gain insight from some well-known colleagues.

Certainly at first, the busyness was and Wagner. helpful, for Mahler came to understand a great deal from the many works he conducted, watching how the printed pages of other composers’ works sounded in performance.

A S A C O M P O S E R , Mahler created his earliest works for cham­ber

groups, or for voice and piano, and then for voice and orchestra. But eventually he began writing — and wrestling with — his First Symphony, created between 1884 and 1888. It was a rough road and a difficult birth. And Mahler’s fumbling attempts to explain that the symphony was “about” a hero didn’t help early audiences understand what he was trying to say. The connection between the music and the storyline — a hero supposedly triumphant, but battered,

and then dying — wasn’t immediately obvious to most listeners.

Mahler later withdrew his “explanations” about the Symphony No. 1 and tried to let the music speak for itself. He was similarly minded about later symphonies, including the Second — providing written explanations and then dismissing them. A letter to his wife in 1901 talks about his description of the Second as “a crutch for a cripple. It gives only a superficial indication, all that any written program can do for a musical work, let alone this one, which is so much all of a piece that it can no more be explained than the world itself. I’m quite sure that if God were asked to draw up a program of the world he created, he could never do it. At best, it would say as little about the na­ ture of God and life as my analysis says about my C-minor Symphony.”

(See page 21 for what Mahler did say about his Second Symphony — and further discussion of his later disavowal.)

With the First Symphony written (but not yet performed), Mahler immediately began writing a new orchestral piece. In his mind, he was starting exactly where the First had ended, with the strangely dead hero figure still in his mind. And so he wrote a long funeral march or Totenfeir. But eventually, in September 1888, he set the score aside, uncertain whether it was part of a new symphony or an independent work.

In retrospect, Mahler’s First Symphony was indeed a learning experience. At its premiere in Budapest in 1889, the composer realized almost at once that he had failed. It was the first of his big orchestral writings to be performed, and he simply had gotten the balancing between instruments and sections wrong. The music may indeed have sounded like a “curtain of chaos” at its premiere.

But Mahler, always striving for perfection, set about revising the The Cleveland Orchestra 2018-19

About the Music

MAHLER the Conductor During his lifetime, Mahler was best known as a superstar conductor — and only incidentally as a composer of strange new music. Above, caricatures of Mahler on the podium, from a set of postcards drawn by Otto Böhler (1873-1913).

score, and tinkered with it for over a decade (including jettisoning an entire “extra” movement) before fashioning it into what audiences know today.

In the summer of 1893, he took up the Totenfeir again, certain that it was the start of his Second Symphony, and wrote a second and third movement to go with it, and then added a short orchestra song for solo voice as a fourth movement. But, he was at a loss about how to continue. What sort of ending would satisfactorily bring this expansive work to a close?

In January 1894, one of his colleague conductors in Hamburg, Hans von Bülow, died. And, strangely enough, The Second this gave Mahler the inspiration he needed to complete Symphony’s the Second Symphony. At von Bülow’s funeral, a choeventual message rus sang out the words of a resurrection hymn text by Friedrich Klopstock — and, according to Mahler, he could of Eternal Life suddenly see how to finish the symphony, with a grand helped Mahler movement for soloists and full chorus singing a hymn understand what about Resurrection and Eternal Life.

More importantly, Mahler also suddenly better unhe was trying to derstood what he was trying to write about in all of his write about in all music. Not that he had the answers immediately at hand, of his music — if ever. But he was now able to verbalize the fact that about the big his music was about the big questions in life, about the meaning and value of life itself — in the big picture and questions in life, for each individual. His First Symphony wasn’t just about about the meaning a hero, it was about the heroic struggles of life on earth. and value of life “Goethe said immortal things on this subject,” Mahler wrote, referring to humanity’s place in the universe. “What itself, in the big I want to say I am naturally only able to express fully in mu­ picture and for sic. . . . That is what has been given to me and for that I will each individual. be called to account.”

THE MUSIC The Second Symphony begins with the long funeral march that

Mahler had written at the same time as the First Symphony. Perhaps this first movement is for the everyman hero in Mahler’s mind, or perhaps for humanity as a whole. After some stuttered opening measures, a grand march of strings and winds moves forward, slowly building, and time and again welling up within anguished cries and stabbing chords, surrounded by calmer and serenely foreboding passages. (Among musical motifs is the kernel for what will become the “resurrection” hymn in the last movement.)

16

About the Music

2018-19 The Cleveland Orchestra

The movement’s conflict, between the underlying march and portrayals of idyllic calm, keeps us on edge. From within each respite, the music marches on, ultimately leading us to a climactic stuttering chord cluster about ten minutes in. And then . . . the march starts all over again. While mourning our fallen hero, we simultaneously seem to recall his triumphs in brightly ecstatic declarations. The episodes eventually resolve into more introspective music of remembrance.

At the very end, the mood is shattered, with a quick and sudden reminder that the hero is dead. We are left in silence.

Mahler marked very specific instructions in the score at this point, stating that a pause of several minutes should occur after the opening movement, before continuing. Such lengthy time for silent introspection may be less necessary — or possible — in our fast-paced modern world, and conductors today, balancing between adequate reflection and noisy restlessness in the audience, choose varying lengths for Mahler’s requested period of silence.

The second movement is in the “tempo of a minuet.” It is mostly gentle, peaceful music, set as an Austrian Ländler dance. It begins with strings only, quietly and lovingly. Then, the music turns uncertain, perhaps menacing, as though a distant storm cloud has appeared on the horizon, but the threat seems off in the distance, and the music regains its equanimity. Threatening gestures recur, louder. The timpani rumbles, then gallops. The feeling of danger increases, but the strings softly, in pizzicato, pluck us back to a calmer state. All sense of care melts to quiet tranquility.

The bucolic reverie is broken with the timpani strokes that open the third-movement Scherzo. This is an orchestral rendition of one of Mahler’s songs, about St. Anthony and the Fishes, which he was writing at the same time. The movement is full of conflicting musical ideas, as if a multitude of St. Anthony’s fishes (bigger, smaller, snapping, peaceful, etc.) are swimming within one vast, steadily moving current. There are playful currents and undercurrents, along with anxious moments of splashing and unanswered questions. It is tempting (and possibly quite accurate) to read meaning into the music from the unvocalized song text, with the foolishly selfish fishes swimming happily but uncomprehendingly against St. Anthony’s words for a better life.

The short, quiet fourth movement follows immediately.

Scored for chamber orchestra, it introduces a solo voice singing about humanity’s desire for meaning (a ray of light) from God. Although Mahler at least twice considered asking for another significant pause at the end of this movement, the published score includes instrucThe Cleveland Orchestra 2018-19

tion to continue attacca (“at once”) into the finale.

The fifth movement opens with thunderous noise, which dissolves into quiet expectancy. Then come ten episodes, clearly marked in the score, building from and commenting on the opening thunder — and carrying us forward with a message of hope and certainty.

Brass are heard from offstage. Their tune is picked up onstage, dissected and questioned, then brought gradually to a magnificent full-throated salute in the orchestra, reiterated and repeated. It continues into a triumphant march, vanquishing all opposition. Suddenly, the music turns to terror and uncertainty. Offstage again, we hear new ideas in opposition, which boil over and then subside toward stillness.

Just over fifteen minutes into this final movement, from pairs of trumpets arranged outside the auditorium come “the Grand Call” [der grosse Appell] echoed against birdcalls from flute and piccolo onstage, followed by the chorus’s quiet intoning of the Resurrection Hymn. For some listeners, this is the Christian Day of Judgement. For Mahler, it was less specific and more universal — and more forgiving. Among the many changes and additions he made to the original hymn text, Mahler removed the words “Jesus Christ” altogether. Yet, within that context and understanding, the symphony’s ending is a tangible reckoning of Mahler’s own life values, told in music — terrifying at times, but also expectant, wondering, uncertain, daring to hope. And then exhilaratingly reassuring, as the symphony comes to a fully triumphant ending, whole orchestra and chorus, with soloists soaring and bells pealing.

“We will all return,” Mahler said to Richard Specht, one of his first biographers. “Our life only has sense if it is shot through with this certainty, and it is wholly unimportant whether in later reincarnation we recall an earlier one. What counts is not the individual and his memory . . . but only that great movement towards perfection, that purification that progresses with each reincarnation. That is why I have to live ethi­ cally, to spare my Self a part of the same road when it returns.”

And what can be better, for Mahler-the-composer’s belief in reincarnation and eternal life, than to have his “Resurrection” Symphony performed today — again and again — captivating and thrilling audiences all over the world more than a century after its creator’s death. Mahler does indeed live on!

Mahler’s own words about composing, and music as a language vs. words . . .

1893: “Creation, bringing a work into the world . . . is essentially mystical. . . . I be­ lieve it is this way for most men, except perhaps for the greatest geniuses, whose names could be written on one fingernail. Artistic creation reminds me of the birth of a pearl, that treasure offered to the world only after having caused the oyster severe pain. Spiritual and physical birth have much in common: what struggles, what torture, what anguish accompany them — what rejoicing too, if the infant be healthy and vigorous. . . . The artist . . . carries the seed in his innermost being, nour­ ishing it as it comes to maturity, until the completed work can be born into the light.

. . . Sometimes, to one’s own astonishment, inspiration coming from elsewhere may impel one to do something that later one no longer understands. I often feel like a blind hen discovering a grain of wheat. This mysterious unconscious force is the more remarkable in that it appears in individual passages, usually the most important and difficult, rather than in a whole movement or an entire piece. Most of the time, they are precisely the passages on which I have no inclination to work, those I would love to avoid, but which take possession of me and finally demand to be expressed.”

1896: “We are faced with the essential question of knowing how, or even why, the content of a musical work should be defined in words. . . . Allow me to state briefly my point of view: I know, for my part, that as long as I am able to express my experi­ ence in words, I would never do so in music. My need to express myself musically, symphonically, begins only in the realm of obscure feelings, at the gate leading to the ‘other world,’ where things are no longer destroyed by time and space. Just as I find it trite to invent music to fit a program, in the same way I find it unsatisfactory and fruitless to try to invent a program for a musical work. . . . Here we have reached, and of this I am certain, the great fork where the two paths of symphonic and dra­ matic music diverge. . . . If you compare a Beethoven symphony and a work by Wag­ ner, you will sense the essential difference immediately.

. . . I have composed a few symphonies that were born amid veritable labor pains — and, after always encountering the same questions, the same misunder­ standings, I have worked out this conception of things myself. Nevertheless, it is useful at first, when my manner is still strange to a listener, for him to receive for his voyage some milestones and signposts — or let us better say, a star map, so that he can orient himself in the nocturnal sky with its shining worlds. But such an explana­ tion will never offer more. People must proceed from something known, otherwise they will get lost!”

Musical Creation and Understanding

2018-19 The Cleveland Orchestra

January 25, 26

I F M A H L E R H A D H I S WAY , you wouldn’t be reading this.

Before, during, or after the concert. Maybe.

When he led a performance with the New York Philharmonic of his First Symphony in 1909, he banished from the printed program book any kind of written commentary about the work — both his own words about the piece, long since withdrawn, and anyone else’s thoughts. The writer for that printed program book, Henry Krehbiel, who was (commonly for the time) also a music critic for one of New York’s newspapers, instead filled the book’s pages with an inconclusive essay about the value of program notes.

And yet, Mahler really did like to talk about what his GUSTAV MAHLER symphonies meant — what was in his mind behind the muDrawing by Enrico Caruso sic. And long after he’d stopped doing so publicly, or having his thoughts printed (as he did for early performances of the First Symphony), he talked and wrote to friends and colleagues about all his later works.

Most probably, for Mahler, talking about what he was composing was, in fact, part of the process — trying to look at his music through the filter of a different sort of language.

Mahler’s first language was music. He sang before he could talk, he was picking out tunes before he could walk. And, although he became very skillful with words and language (as his many letters and writings attest), he remained frustrated at the impossibility of translating music into words — of the inadequacy of words to describe music fully.

Much of what Mahler said about his music can (or should) be understood metaphorically. His thoughts are not always what the music is about. Rather, his words were an attempt to convey some essence of the music to the people around him, by describing a situation or feeling similar to what his music was saying more directly (to him).

His changing and conflicting feelings about program notes were like much else in his life, including religion and politics. Ambivalence reigned.

For Mahler, life was a compromise (not wholly successful) of keeping competing ideas and needs in forced balance.

With all of that in mind — and the fact that Mahler disavowed any explanations for the Second Symphony (but not the sung text itself, which The Cleveland Orchestra 2018-19

obviously has direct meaning), the following paragraphs are a compendium of how Mahler described his Symphony No. 2. Taken from several discussions, they are combined together here, as compiled by Mahler enthusiast and conductor Gilbert Kaplan for his own first recording of the work.

—Eric Sellen

Mahler’s descriptive words about the Second Symphony:

Death of a Hero: At 5 p.m. in the afternoon of May 22, 1911, Mahler’s casket is placed into the horse-drawn hearse, for the trip to the parish church and then to the gravesite in Vienna’s Ginzing Cemetery.

Movement I. — “We stand by the coffin of a person well loved. His whole life, his struggles, his passions, his suf­ ferings, and his accomplish­ ments on earth once more for the last time pass before us.

And now, in this solemn and deeply stirring moment, when the confusions and distrac­ tions of everyday life are lifted like a hood from our eyes, a voice of awe-inspiring solem­ nity chills our heart — a voice that, blinded by the mirage of everyday life, we usually ig­ nore: ‘What? What is life and what is death? Why did you live? Why did you suffer? Is it all nothing but a huge, frightful joke? Will we live on eternally? Do our life and death have a meaning?’ We must answer these questions in some way if we are to go on living — indeed, if we are to go on dying! He into whose life this call has once sounded must give an answer. And this answer I give in the final movement.”

Movement II. — “A memory, a ray of sunlight, pure and cloud­ less, out of the departed’s life. You must surely have had the experi­ ence of burying someone dear to you, and then, perhaps, on the way back some long-forgotten hour of shared happiness suddenly rose before your inner eye, sending as it were a sunbeam into your soul not overcast by any shadow — and you almost forgot what had just taken place.”

Movement III. — “When you awaken from that blissful dream and are forced to return to this tangled life of ours, it may easily hap­

22

pen that this surge of life ceaselessly in motion, never resting, never com­ prehensible, suddenly seems eerie, like the billowing of dancing figures in a brightly lit ballroom that you gaze into from outside in the dark — and from a distance so great that you can no longer hear the music! Then the turning and twisting movement of the couples seems senseless. You must imagine that, to one who has lost his identity and his happiness, the world looks like this — distorted and crazy, as if reflected in a concave mirror. Life then becomes meaningless. Utter disgust for every form of existence and evolution seizes him in an iron grip, and he cries out in a scream of an­ guish.”

Movement IV. — “The moving voice of naive faith sounds in our ears. ‘I am from God and will return to God. The dear God will give me a light, will light me to eternal blessed life!’”

Movement V. — “Once more we must confront terrifying ques­ tions. The movement starts with the same dreadful scream of anguish that ended the Scherzo. The voice of the Caller is heard. The end of every living thing has come, the last Judgement is at hand, and the horror of the day of days has come upon us. The earth trembles; the last trumpet sounds; the graves burst open; all the creatures struggle out of the ground, moan­ ing and trembling. Now they march in a mighty procession: rich and poor, peasants and kings, the whole church with bishops and popes. All have the same fear, all cry and tremble alike because, in the eyes of God, there are no just men. The cry for mercy and forgiveness sounds fearful in our ears.

The wailing becomes gradually more terrible. Our senses desert us; all consciousness dies as the Eternal Judge approaches. The trumpets of the Apocalypse ring out. Finally, after all have left their empty graves and the earth lies silent and deserted, there comes only the long-drawn note of the bird of death. Even it finally dies.”

“What happens now is far from expected: Everything has ceased to exist. The gentle sound of a chorus of saints and heavenly hosts is then heard. Soft and simple, the words gently swell up: ‘Rise again, yea, you shall rise again.’ Then the glory of God comes into sight. A wondrous light strikes us to the heart. All is quiet and blissful. Lo and behold: There is no judgement, no sinners, no just men, no great and no small; there is no pun­ ishment and no reward. A feeling of overwhelming love fills us with blissful knowledge and illuminates our existence.”

Der Mensch liegt in grösster Not! Der Mensch liegt in grösster Pein!

Je lieber möcht’ ich im Himmel sein!

O tiny red rose!

Humanity lies in greatest need!

Humanity lies in greatest pain!

I would much rather be in Heaven!

Da kam ich auf einen breiten Weg, Da kam ein Engelein und wollt’ mich abweisen.

Ach nein!

Ich liess mich nicht abweisen!

Ich bin von Gott und will wieder zu Gott!

Der liebe Gott wird mir ein Lichtchen geben, Wird leuchten mir bis in das ewig selig Leben!

Once I came onto a broad path, and an angel came and wanted to turn me away.

But no, I would not be turned away!

Rise again, yes, you will rise again, my dust, after a brief rest!

To bloom again you were sown!

The Lord of the Harvest goes forth and gathers like sheaves, those of us who have died!

More About

MAHLER

about Mahler and his music have appeared in recent decades, quite reminiscent of the avalanche of books about Wagner that came out in the first two-thirds of the 20th century. If Mahler hasn’t yet overtaken Wagner as the subject of the most books about any composer, he’s certainly been gaining — and taking up more and more shelf space. Here are a few choice titles for further reading: MANY NEW BOOKS

The Real Mahler, by Jonathan Carr. 254 pages. (Constable Press, London, 1997).

This very readable and reasonably-lengthed biography by journalist Jonathan Carr is a good place for many people to start. Carr keeps his musical discussions to an understandable minimum and does a good job of trying to explain away certain legends that still too often crop up as fact in discussions of Mahler’s life.

Why Mahler? How One Man and Ten Symphonies Changed Our World, by Norman Lebrecht. 336 pages / also available as an ebook. (Pantheon, 2010). This book is one man’s very personal view of how Mahler’s music has helped shape his life and mind. It has gotten decidedly mixed reviews, but if you like — or love — Mah­ ler’s music, this book can help you sort through why and how. As with much of Lebrecht’s writings in print or online, he is intent on challenging and startling you.

Be open to connections. Let yourself be surprised.

The Mahler Album, by Gilbert Kaplan. 340 pages. (Abrams, 2011). Published to coincide with the 100th anniversary of Mahler’s death, this expanded edition is the definitive collection of all the known Mahler photographs.

Mahler, by Henry-Louis de La Grange. 4 volumes; somewhere over 3,500 pages. (Oxford University Press, I:1973, II:1995, III:1999, IV: 2008). A major milestone for English readers occurred in 2008 with the publication of the fourth and final volume of de La Grange’s nearly dayby-day discussion (originally in French) of Mahler’s life and art. An updated Volume One was in the works when de La Grange died in January 2017 (and may yet appear). While others have delved deeper on specific symphonies or aspects, or come to differing conclusions here and there, this is a choice source for detail.

The Dent Master Musicians Series: Mahler, by Michael Kennedy. 220 pages.

(J.M. Dent, London, rev. ed. 2001). Although a few more recently uncovered facts cloud a number of pages, this clearly written book provides a solid entry-level view of Mahler and his music. Some readers will be particularly pleased at the book’s division into halves — the first half about his life and, quite separate, a second half about his major musical works.

The Cleveland Orchestra Under the leadership of Music Director Franz Welser-Möst, The Cleveland Orchestra has become one of the most sought-after performing ensembles in the world, setting standards of extraordinary artistic excellence, creative programming, and community engagement. The New York Times has declared it “. . . the best in America” and “America’s most understatedly amazing orchestra” for the group’s virtuosity, humility, self-confidence, elegance of sound, variety of color, and chamber-like musical cohesion.

Strong community support from across the ensemble’s home region is driving the Orchestra forward with renewed energy and focus, increasing the number of young people attending concerts, and bringing fresh attention to the Orchestra’s legendary sound and committed programming — including annual opera performances. Recent acclaimed presentations have included Debussy’s Pelléas and Mélisande (May 2017), a doublebill of Bartók’s Miraculous Mandarin and Bluebeard’s Castle (April 2016) presented in collaboration with Chicago’s Joffrey Ballet, and an innovative mixed-media production of Janáček’s The Cunning Little Vixen (May 2014, with encore performances in Cleveland and Europe during the autumn of 2017).

The 2017-18 season featured in-concert performances of Wagner’s Tristan and Isolde (April 2018), while the current season features a made-for-Cleveland production of Strauss’s Ariadne auf Naxos (January 2019).

The partnership with Franz Wel­ser-Möst, begun in 2002 and now in its 17th year, has earned The Cleveland Orchestra unprecedented residencies in the U.S. and around the world, including at the Musikverein in Vienna, the first of its kind by an American orchestra. It also performs regularly in New York and Miami, and at the Salzburg and Lucerne Festivals. They travel to China in spring 2019, and then return to Europe in future seasons.

The Cleveland Orchestra has a long and distinguished recording and broadcast history. A series of DVD and CD recordings under the direction of Mr. Welser-Möst continues to add to an extensive and widely praised catalog of audio recordings made during the tenures of the ensemble’s earlier music directors. In addition, Cleveland Orchestra concerts are heard in syndication each season on radio stations throughout North America and Europe.

Seven music directors — Nikolai Sokoloff, Artur Rodzinski, Erich Leins­dorf, George Szell, Lorin Maazel, Christoph von Dohnányi, and Franz Welser-Möst — along with nearly a half-century working with famed conductor Pierre Boulez, have guided and shaped the ensemble’s growth and sound since its founding in 1918. Through concerts at home and on tour, via radio broadcasts and a catalog of acclaimed recordings, The Cleveland Orchestra is heard today by a broad and growing group of fans around the world.

After some years in the French Navy, Albert Roussel chose a musical career as an adult.

He was early on influenced by the impressionism of Debussy and Ravel, but later works veered toward neo-classicism. Between the world wars, he was a greatly influential teacher.

He wrote his Divertissement in 1905. It is built in four sections that flow directly from one to the next, highlighting each instrument in combinations and with moving solo moments.

Francis Poulenc rose in the generation after Roussel to be France’s highest regarded composer. His father was a well-to-do industrialist who prevented his only son from enroll­ ing in music courses, thus forcing Poulenc to be self-taught to a certain extent. He was great­ ly influenced by Erik Satie’s musical ideas, but created his own unique voice. He wrote his Divertissement in 1931-32, and then revised it extensively in 1939. Its musical stylings include classical, jazz, and ragtime references.

Concert Preludes are free to ticketholders to that evening’s Cleveland Orchestra concert.

INTRODUCING THE CONCERT

Myths, Masters& Musicals T H I S W E E K E N D ’ S C O N C E R T is a little different, a little more than usual,

filled with contrasts. It features five works written across a century and a half, beginning with a short work for a solo flute, followed by four pieces for smaller or larger orchestra. Some feature a vocal soloist, with the conductor herself singing. The musical emotions range from calm to spirited, from anger to hopeful, and onward to delighted happiness.

The evening begins with an ethereal work for solo flute, played by The Cleveland Orchestra’s principal flute, Joshua Smith. The Frenchman Claude Debussy wrote it to represent the final music of Pan — the Greek god of flocks and shepherds, of the tamed and untamed wildnerness. This is beautiful and serene music, tender and focused, calmingly impressionistic. Listen as it cleanses our ears (and minds) for everything yet to come.

Next comes a tone poem for soprano and orchestra by the Finnish composer Jean Siblieus. Premiered in 1913 (the same year as Syrinx), this setting of poetry tells an origin and ancenstral tale of Finland. Of sky created from an egg’s shell, of tears becoming stars, of ocean and moon and wind placed as a setting for the world and humanity.

The first half closes with Joseph Haydn’s Symphony No. 86, written when this Austrian “father of the symphony” had reached his mature powers of creativity and sureness. Premiered in Paris in 1787, these four movements offer contrasts in tempo, feeling, and texture — and deliver a unified whole in a very Classical way, quite different from Debussy and Sibelius.

After intermission, the soundworld stretches wide. First, we experience Alban Berg’s suite from the incomplete opera Lulu, in Five Symphonic Pieces from 1934. This emotional tale of abuse, murder, misery, heartache, and love’s searching is one of the 20th century’s most powerful operas — written in a style that Franz Welser-Möst aptly describes as “full-on Romantic music, but with a few wrong notes.” As in life, it is the exceptions to the norm, those “wrong notes,” that define the limits in reality, powering this work forward, built within Berg’s singular sense of creative artistry.

To close the evening, guest conductor (and singer) Barbara Hannigan leads a memorable suite from the Gershwin musical Girl Crazy. This tuneful score was written in the same year as the Lulu Suite, but with a very different soundworld. What marvelous contrasts music offers. We can very nearly taste the difference . . . with our ears!

Syrinx (for solo flute) composed 1913

At a Glance Debussy wrote this piece while at­ tempting to collaborate with the theater writer Gabriel Mourey. They discussed concepts for a variety of works across several years, before the composer offered to write this piece for solo flute as “incidental music” for

Mourey’s play Psyché, representing the final melody mythical Pan plays before dying. It was first performed during a private reading of the play in Paris in 1913, played by Louis Fleury.

Syrinx, for solo flute, runs about 3 minutes in performance.

DEBUSSY born August 22, 1862 St. Germain-en-Laye, France died March 25, 1918 Paris

D E B U S SY WA S I N T E N S E LY interested in the theater and was

throughout his life contemplating, planning, or writing operas or incidental music for plays. Very few of them were ever completed, and many were not even started, at least in terms of anything actually being written out on paper.

One of his collaborators was a versatile literary character named Gabriel Mourey, who had known Debussy since 1889, though the two did not discuss working together until 1907.

Their first project was Le Roman de Tristan, using a version of the Tristan story somewhat different from Wagner’s. That idea was soon abandoned, however, and three more ideas were tried, but also eventually went nowhere — Huon de Bordeaux, Le Marchand de rêves, and Le Chat botté (aka Puss in Boots). Finally, Mourey offered Debussy his three-act play Psyché on the Greek myth, but all that Debussy agreed to compose was a piece to be played from the wings on a flute, representing “the last melody that Pan plays before his death.”

Even this proved difficult to bring to reality, but it was finally played by Louis Fleury at a private performance of the play in the house of Louis Mors in Paris on December 1, 1913.

Its title was then La Flûte de Pan. It was renamed Syrinx when it was published in 1927, after Debussy’s death.

The music beautifully exploits the flute’s capacity for arabesque and ornament, mostly low in the instrument’s range, and full of exotic intervals suggestive of an imagined Greek culture.

Mourey called it “a real jewel of restrained emotion, of sadness, of plastic beauty, of discreet tenderness and poetry.”

Principal Flute Elizabeth M. and William C. Treuhaft Endowed Chair The Cleveland Orchestra

Firmly established as one of America’s outstanding flutists, Joshua Smith is equally at home as a soloist, chamber musician, and educator. He was appointed as The Cleveland Orchestra’s principal flute at age twenty, joining the ensemble in 1990. He appears regularly as soloist with the Orchestra, in repertoire ranging from Bach and Mozart to Penderecki and Widmann.

In September 2014, he was featured with the Orchestra on tour in Europe, playing Jörg Widmann’s flute concerto at the BBC London Proms, Lucerne Festival, Berlin Philharmonie, Vienna Musikverein, and Amsterdam Concertgebouw. Most recently, he played Mozart’s Concerto for Flute and Harp with the Orchestra and guest soloist Yolanda Kondonassis in 2016, and this past summer he was among featured performers for the Orchestra’s Blossom 50th Anniversary benefit concert.

Mr. Smith received a Grammy nomination for his Telarc recording, Air, and has recorded two discs with harpsichordist Jory Vinikour dedicated to the Sonatas of J.S. Bach. He appeared on a Live from the Marlboro Music Festival recording and can be heard on more than 100 Cleveland Orchestra recordings.

Intrigued with exploring new ways of connecting with audiences, Joshua Smith leads the chamber group Ensemble HD, which features Cleveland Orch­ estra members and guests. The artists perform in concert halls as well as nontraditional venues. Ensemble HD released its first double vinyl album in May 2013,

Luonnotar, Opus 70

(tone poem for soprano and orchestra) composed 1910-13

At a Glance

by

Jean

Sibelius completed Luonnotar, his tone poem for soprano and orchestra, in 1913, having promised the Finnish soprano Aino Ackté a work for her as early as 1910. It was premiered on September 10, 1913, in Gloucester, England, at that year’s Three Choirs Festival, conducted by Herbert Brewer.

This pieces runs about 10 minutes in performances. Sibelius scored it for 2 flutes (both doubling piccolo), 2

oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, 2 sets of timpani, 2 harps, and strings, plus the soprano soloist.

The Cleveland Orchestra has pre­ sented this piece on one previous set of concerts, for a weekend in April 2002 at Severance Hall in Cleveland, with soloist Rosemary Hardy and conductor Oliver Knussen.

the Greeks or the Lusiad is to the Portuguese, or what Beowulf might have been to early peoples of the British Isles. It is, in fact, a series of epic poems about heroes and battles, gods and maidens, and not a single narrative, handed down in oral tradition from generation to generation.

The Kalevala were collected and published in 1835 by a Finnish country doctor, Elias Lönnrot, with an expanded edition — 22,000 lines long — in 1849. A German translation was read by the poet Longfellow, whose Hiawatha is manifestly intended to echo the tone and verse of the Kalevala. And the first English translation, by W. F. Kirby, published in 1907, deliberately adopted Longfellow’s style and meter.

The Kalevala was enthusiastically invoked by nationalists promoting Finnish culture in opposition to Russian tsarist rule, under which the country labored throughout the 19th century.

Sibelius stood out as a composer of this persuasion. He mined the Kalevala as inspiration or storyline for a dozen of his pieces, and although he did not exploit folksong itself, his attachment to these folk legends gave a strongly national flavor to much of his vocal and orchestral music. The rhythms of the poem became, in some of his works, the musical rhythms.

In 1892, Sibelius composed Kullervo, a very long “symphonic poem for soloists, chorus, and orchestra,” ignoring the convention that the symphonic poem was supposed to represent a

drama or narrative without the use of words.

Later symphonic (and non-vocal) symphonic poems based on the Kalevala include Sibelius’s four Lemminkäinen Legends (one of which is the well-known Swan of Tuonela), Pohjola’s Daugh­ ter, and Tapiola, the last of his completed orchestral works. In between these last two came Luonnatar, a symphonic poem in which he again ignored convention by setting lines from the Kalevala for a soprano soloist.

Luonnatar (also often called Immatar) is the “spirit of nature” and “mother of the seas” in the Finnish creation legend, and Sibelius narrates the story with a starkness shared with his Fourth Symphony, composed in 1911. Already in 1910 a “new tone-poem written for the Finnish soprano Aino Ackté” was promised from Sibelius’s pen, but it was not ready until 1913.

It was premiered that same year, in England, where Sibelius already enjoyed great popularity.

From the first 250 lines of the epic, Sibelius selected 40 lines that explain the creation of the moon and the stars, strangely omitting the creation of the sun from the yolk of the egg. In the final lines, where one would expect an element of grandeur or majesty in the appearance of the fundamental elements that surround us, the music remains predominantly gloomy, with an angular rising melody over the steady rumble of harps and timpani. Only at the end does the voice give leave to the violins to celebrate with a major chord held high and long in wonder and embrace of what has been created.

At a Glance Haydn wrote this symphony in D major (later designated as “No. 86” in, coincidentally, 1786, as one of six symphonies prepared at the invita­ tion of Count Claude d’Ogney in Paris.

It was premiered at the Concerts de la Loge Olympique in Paris in 1787, conducted by Joseph Boulogne.

minutes in performance. Haydn scored it for flute, 2 oboes, 2 bas­ soons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani, and strings.

The Cleveland Orchestra first played this symphony in the autumn of 1952, under George Szell’s direc­ tion.

About the Music

F O R T H E F I R S T sixty years of his life, Haydn never moved

outside of Vienna and its immediate eastern provinces. These initial decades were spent in the area where Austria, the Czech Republic, and Hungary now converge.

The son of a wheelwright, Haydn rose to world eminence and the patronage of kings and emperors solely through his musical gifts. The single element of luck in his career was the chance that brought the organist of Vienna’s St. Stephen’s Cathedral to the small village where the eight-year-old Haydn was at school. The young boy’s talent for music and his pleasing voice were sufficient to literally transport him to St. Stephen’s, the leading church in Vienna, within the ambience of the great notabilities of the Hapsburg Empire.

In 1761, at the age of 31, Haydn joined the Esterházy household as Kapellmeister, and a year later the Prince who engaged him, Prince Paul Anton, was succeeded by Prince Nikolaus, a patron for whom music was of paramount importance in the life of a civilized court. Nikolaus was proud of the gifted composer in his service and attracted a steady stream of distinguished visitors from all over Europe. The concerts and operas they attended were always a major attraction.

This is how Haydn’s reputation spread, for he had no agent and no publicity office working in his behalf. Music publishers in distant cities became interested in acquiring his works, so much so that many of them were prepared to put the Haydn name on pieces he did not write. In the precarious state of copyright practice in the 18th century, there was little a composer could do about it, especially if he was not there when such theft was About the Music

occurring.

It was Haydn’s fame that suggested to the young Count d’Ogney in Paris to commission some new music for the series of Concerts de la Loge Olympique, of which he was a leading backer. Count d’Ogney was a passionate music lover and the owner of an immense music library. Although he knew that Haydn’s music would be well received in Paris, where public concerts were rapidly coming into popularity, he didn’t expect that Haydn would be able to attend or supervise the musical preparation in person. That was because Prince Nikolaus seemed unable to even contemplate being without his star composer for the lengthy period such a trip to Paris would require. It was not until after the Prince’s death in 1790 that Haydn could finally accept invitations from abroad (including to London), his new patron at Esterházy being much less interested in music at home.

In the years 1785 and 1786, Haydn composed six symphonies for Paris, numbered 82 to 87 in modern lists and designations, with more to follow later. These first “Paris” works established his leading stature among symphonists in Europe. The dozen symphonies he later wrote for London took that development a stage further and consolidated the foundations on which later composers worked, including, of course, Beethoven, who created his nine famous and unsurpassed structures starting from Haydn’s models.

Haydn had heard about the proficiency and size of French orchestras, especially their woodwinds, so the Paris Symphonies keep the winds well occupied. No. 86 has a claim to importance by including a slow introduction to the first movement, which Haydn was beginning to do more frequently — and which became one standard method of starting a symphony. In addition,

here Haydn filled in a full structure for the Menuetto, which is here much more than the then-expected interlude between slow movement and finale.

The slow movement is perhaps the most unusual part of the symphony, for Haydn called it a “Capriccio” and treated the form with great freedom, almost as if it were a fantasia without many rules at all. The pensive first four bars act as an anchor, returning many times and in many forms. The remaining ideas are all very short and can therefore be presented in surprising permutations, which creates the tension of not knowing what’s coming next, with some silences to intensify the uncertainty.

Haydn’s supreme skill is the creation of satisfying wholes out of seemingly incompatible parts.

Both first and last movements are directed to be played “with spirit,” and it is difficult to imagine how any Parisian audience in 1787 or any contemporary audience today could ever miss the spirit — of invention and vitality — which drives this irresistible music.

Five Symphonic Pieces from Lulu (suite for soprano and orchestra)

composed 1934, from the unfinished opera begun in 1929

At a Glance

by

Alban

BERG born February 9, 1885 Vienna died December 24, 1935 Vienna

Berg began composing his opera Lulu in 1929, basing its story on two plays

by Frank Wedekind: Erdgeist (“The Earth Spirit”) and Büchse der Pandora (“Pandora’s Box”). He continued work on the opera until his death, at which time some portions of the orchestra­ tion for Act Three remained incom­ plete. In 1934, Berg extracted the five Symphonic Pieces — widely known as the Lulu Suite — from the unfinished opera. The Pieces were premiered in Berlin on November 30, 1934, with the Berlin State Opera orchestra con­ ducted by Erich Kleiber, with soprano Lili Claus as soloist in the middle movement.

The Lulu Suite runs about 35

minutes in performance — 30 minutes without “Lulu’s Song.” Berg’s score calls for 3 flutes (1 or more doubling piccolo), 3 oboes (1 doubling english horn), 3 clarinets, bass clarinet, alto saxophone, 3 bassoons (1 doubling contrabassoon), 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, percus­ sion (bass drum, cymbals, snare drum, tam-tams, and triangle), vibraphone (optional), piano, harp, and strings.

The Cleveland Orchestra first pre­ sented Berg’s Symphonic Pieces from Lulu in 1964 under the direction of Lukas Foss. Franz Welser-Möst and the Orchestra performed this work in 2010, at home in Cleveland and at Carnegie Hall.

About the Music A L B A N B E R G ’ S F I R S T O P E R A , Wozzeck, aroused deep

controversy when first performed in Berlin in 1925. But it was rapidly taken up by other opera houses, both in Germany and abroad, and it has since become a 20th-century classic.

Berg’s second opera, Lulu, which he started in 1929, had no chance of performance in Germany after the Nazis took power in 1933. Berg had almost completed the draft score at that time and he pressed ahead with orchestrating the opera. The only way it could be performed, however, would be in the form of symphonic extracts, and so, urged by his publisher, he arranged a suite of five movements in the summer of 1934. This was first performed that November in Berlin under the direction of Erich Kleiber, one of Berg’s most stalwart champions.

Orchestration of the rest of the opera was still incomplete when Berg died at the end of 1935, aged 50, as the result of an insect sting that led to septicemia. The premiere therefore not only had to take place abroad, in Zurich in 1937, but was also limited to only the first two acts. The final act was not made public until 1979, when the full work was heard at the Paris Opéra, The Cleveland Orchestra 2018-19

conducted by Pierre Boulez.

Lulu has never attained the critical favor accorded to Wozzeck, nor have productions been more than rare. This is partly due to the extraordinary requirements of the score, starting with the role of Lulu herself, who has to have the appeal of an irresistible twenty-year-old prostitute and a coloratura soprano’s range and technique. There is also a large cast of extraordinary characters and some unusual effects, including a film sequence. The vocal demands on all the singers are unusual, and the music is extremely difficult to sing. The story itself — the cautionary tale of a young woman who traffics in men and murders some of them, being finally herself murdered by Jack the Ripper — is not to everyone’s taste.

The degradation and exploitation of the Lulu story, taken to a higher degree than similar themes in Wozzeck, called for music of extreme intensity, and this is what Berg was uniquely able to supply. He has been called a Romantic Modernist, because he enthusiastically embraced the new language forged by his teacher Schoenberg and applied twelve-note principles in the composition of Lulu with considerable rigor. At the same time, he never wrote music without a powerful emotional core, so that one is never in doubt as to the tension, mood, or state of mind of the protagonists, and the climaxes have a cathartic effect. No one need know anything about serial technique to grasp the spell of the music, nor is it important to know that Berg was fond of complex contrivances such as the palindromic construction of scenes, or writing the second part of a passage with the music of the first part reversed. The orchestral sound often rests on a bed of familiar chords in the lower instruments, so that even when the upper voices are moving at all angles, the overall effect has an element of familiarity and comfort.

What is often known as the Lulu Suite does not tell the story of the opera in sequence. Berg called it “symphonic pieces” on the title page of the score. Berg has transferred the vocal line to a solo instrument such as the saxophone or a trumpet, and sometimes he leaves the vocal line out, with the orchestra carrying the main musical dialogue.

The first movement, Rondo, is a condensation of two About the Music

scenes in the second act between Lulu and one of her lovers, Alwa, who is also her husband’s son. It begins with Alwa’s entrance and some strong melodic lines in the violins and the alto saxophone.

This leads to a climax when Alwa (represented by the vibraphone) confesses “Ich liebe dich . . .” (“I love you . . .”). The second part of the Rondo is the final scene of the act when Lulu, having “accidentally” shot her husband (Alwa’s father), is alone with Alwa, celebrating the couple’s freedom. A surprising held chord of B-flat major precedes their final love scene, with solos for violin and cello. There is a lighter passage marked grazioso followed by the “Hymn” (with pizzicato accompaniment). As the couple settle onto the sofa, Lulu remembers that this is the spot where Alwa’s father bled to death, and the curtain falls heavily.

The Ostinato movement is the forceful and noisy interlude between the two scenes of the second act, constructed as a palindrome around a central pause (vibraphone again, pian­issimo).

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

Lulu’s Song is taken from the first scene of Act Two. She is explaining to her husband, in more and more elaborate fioriture, that she is not responsible for the men who have died for love of her, and that certainly her husband knew her character all along.

No one has ever taken her, she insists, for something other than what she is: Wenn sich die Menschen um meinetwillen umgebracht haben, so setzt das meinen Wert nicht herab. Du hast so gut gewußt, weswegen Du mich zur Frau nahmst, wie ich gewußt habe, weswegen ich Dich zum mann nahm. Du hattest Deine besten Freunde mit mir betrogen, Du konntest nicht gut auch noch Dich selber mit mir betrügen. Wenn du mir Deinen Lebensabend zum Opfer bringst, so hast Du meine ganze Jugend dafür gehabt.

Ich habe nie in der Welt etwas anderes scheinen wollen, als wofür man mich genommen hat; und man hat mich nie in der Welt für etwas anderes genom­ men, als was ich bin.

The Cleveland Orchestra 2018-19

If men have killed themselves for my sake, that does not lower my value. You know just as well as me why you made me your wife as I know why I took you for my husband. You deceived your best friend for me, and yet you cannot go on deceiving yourself. If you hold me as a sacrifice for your last days, remember that you are the one who took away my entire youth. I have never in the world wished to seem to be anything other than to be what I am taken for and I have never in the world been taken for anything other than what I am.

About the Music

The Variations form the interlude between the two scenes of Act Three. The tune is a cabaret song from the 1880s

by Frank Wedekind, the author of the plays on which the opera is based (another of Wedekind’s plays is the basis for the recent Broadway musical Spring Awakening). After some swift brass chords, the first variation includes the tune coarsely presented on four horns. In the second, it moves from section to section in heterophony — being played out of sync by different groups. The third variation is marked funèbre (“funereal”), with long notes on the trombones. The fourth features trumpet, then oboe, then horn, and finally we hear the tune itself as it appears in the opera, representing the barrel organ on a London street where the story comes to its gruesome end.

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

Above, self portrait painted

by George Gershwin;

The Gershwins wrote Girl Crazy in 1930, working with book writers Guy Bolton and John McGowan. The show opened on October 14, 1930, at New York’s Alvin Theatre, directed by Alex­ ander Leftwich, with choreography

by George Hale and sets by Donald Oenslager. The cast included Ethel Merman, Ginger Rogers, Allen Kearns, and Willie Howard.

This suite from Girl Crazy runs just over 10 minutes in performance. The score calls for 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clari­

nets, alto saxophone, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion (including cym­ bals, glockenspiel, and vibraphone), celesta, piano, harp, and strings, as well as vocalist/s.

The Cleveland Orchestra has frequently performed musical songs or excerpts from Girl Crazy, beginning as early as 1945. The complete show was presented in-concert at the Orchestra’s summer home, Blossom Music Center, in June 1987.

About the Music A S E L E C T I O N O F numbers from Gershwin’s musical Girl Crazy

of 1930 provided the centerpiece for Barbara Hannigan’s 2017 DVD/CD album “Crazy Girl Crazy,” in which this artist’s versatility and virtuosity as a singer and conductor are displayed. The recorded pieces also include the Lulu Suite and a work by Luciano Berio. Bill Elliott, who has written and arranged extensively for film and television, took three Gershwin standards from the musical and concocted an irresistible suite for Hannigan with a symphony orchestra backing.

All three tunes have lyrics by George’s brother Ira and have enjoyed constant popularity since the day they were first heard on Broadway, with Ethel Merman singing “I Got Rhythm” and Ginger Rogers singing “But Not For Me.” “Embraceable You” was the main song for Allen Kearns, the show’s tenor lead. It is remarkable to reflect that four great musicians were playing in the pit orchestra in that show (at least for opening night): Benny Goodman, Gene Krupa, Glenn Miller, and Jimmy Dorsey. That does seem, well, crazy.
