Program Notes Lori Newman

Franz Joseph Haydn Born 1732, Rohrau, Austria Died 1809, Vienna, Austria

Symphony No. 43 in E-flat Major, “Mercury,” Hob. I:43 (circa 1770–1771) Joseph Haydn’s association with the powerful and musical Esterházy family began in 1761. His initial post was as Vice-Kapellmeister to Prince Paul Anton, a musician in his own right, who was responsible for hiring Haydn and elevating the quality of the court’s orchestra by infusing it with local virtuosi. After Paul Anton’s death the following year, he was succeeded by Prince Nikolaus, another great patron of the arts. Haydn was promoted to full Kapellmeister in 1766 and moved to the servants’ quarters at the palace Esterháza which Prince Nikolaus built soon after he assumed the throne. It is at Esterháza where many of Haydn’s most successful works were composed. The fruitful pairing of Haydn and the Esterházys continued until Prince Nikolaus’s death in 1790. Prince Anton was next in line, and he showed very little interest in the arts, dismissing most of the court’s musicians and reducing Haydn’s duties and salary. Haydn was able to profit from this turn of events, as he was now free to travel. Haydn’s two tours of England were wildly successful and his “London” Symphonies are perhaps among his best symphonic works. Once Prince Anton died, Nikolaus II offered Haydn his old job back and looked to revive the musical culture previously established. Haydn continued in this capacity on a part-time basis until his death in 1809. Little is known about the Symphony No. 43, including its compositional timeline, premiere, or when or why the moniker “Mercury” was attached. It is possible that parts of the Symphony were used for any number of theatrical performances at Esterháza, perhaps productions that included storylines of the mythological god Mercury. This is purely speculation, however. The Symphony is considered one of Haydn’s “chamber” symphonies; it is scored for two oboes, one bassoon (doubling the bass line), two horns, and strings, while omitting trumpets and timpani.

Mozart’s irreverent sense of humor is apparent in many of the markings included in his horn compositions … such as “Courage!” The first movement opens with a long, lyrical melody, containing a rather slow harmonic rhythm for an allegro movement. The opening tune is played softly and punctuated by strong forte chords from the full orchestra. This is followed by spirited sixteenth-note passages in the violins. This duality of soft and lyrical versus loud, fast, and lively is alternated throughout the movement. The second movement opens with muted strings playing another rather long and tuneful melody. Several motivic elements used throughout the movement are spun from this opening melody and used ingeniously as unifying elements. The third movement is a standard Minuet and Trio in the classical style, with stately rhythms and melodies that evoke the Austrian Ländler. The finale is again more tuneful than bombastic, including a coda that brings the action to a screeching halt before the final tutti statement. ●

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Born 1756, Salzburg, Austria Died 1791, Vienna, Austria

Horn Concerto No. 4 in E-flat Major, K. 495 (1786) While there are many rumors and misinformation surrounding Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, most scholars tend to agree that the composer possessed a great sense of humor, and a wicked one at that. Mozart’s four horn concerti were written for his good friend Joseph Ignaz Leutgeb, whom he met when he was just a child performing in Salzburg. Leutgeb was a quarter-century older than Mozart, but Mozart was so fond of Leutgeb and his playing, that he wrote the Rondo, K. 371, the Horn Quintet in E-flat Major, K. 407/386c, and the aforementioned four horn concerti for him. It is also believed

that the virtuosic horn writing in Mozart’s symphonies was composed with Leutgeb in mind. Leutgeb was known for his beautiful and pure tone as well as the ability to play impeccable technical passages on the natural, valveless horn—the type of horn used in Mozart’s day. Mozart’s irreverent sense of humor, as well has his great affection for Leutgeb, is apparent in many of the markings the composer included in his horn compositions. He includes the word “Courage!” in the First Horn Concerto and at one point marks the orchestra “Allegro” (fast) and the horn part “Adagio” (slow), taking aim at horn players’ tendencies to be late and drag. The autograph for the Horn Concerto No. 2, K. 417 reads: “Wolfgang Amadè Mozart takes pity on Leutgeb, ass, ox, and simpleton, at Vienna on May 27, 1783.” The Fourth Horn Concerto includes ink in various colors of black, blue, green, and red. This has long been thought to have been an “inside” joke with Leutgeb, or merely a way of throwing him off his game. More recently, the Mozart scholar Konrad Küstler has suggested that the colors were no joke at all, but rather a color coded system to instruct Leutgeb in performance practice. This is up for debate as it is not something that Mozart did in his other compositions. While nothing is known about the premiere of the Horn Concerto No. 4, we do know that Mozart completed it and entered it into his catalog on June 26, 1786. It is scored for solo horn, two oboes, two horns, and strings. The concerto opens with an extended orchestral introduction. What is novel about this introduction is when the soloist enters, it is not the thematic material from the introduction that the soloist plays, but rather a new melody outlining the tonic triad. The oboes hint at this in the introduction’s opening measures, but for the most part, the horn solo introduces completely new melodic material. It is in the first movement that we find the concerto’s continued on 8

Program Notes . continued from 7 only cadenza. The second movement is a lyrical piece in the key of B-flat Major which plays with the juxtaposition of duple and triple rhythms (triplets, sixteenth notes, and dotted rhythms all contained in the melodic material). The third movement is in a spirited 6/8 which evokes the hunt, as this was what the valveless horn was most associated with in the late eighteenth century. ●

Ludwig van Beethoven Born 1770, Bonn, Germany Died 1827, Vienna, Austria

Symphony No. 1 in C Major, Op. 21 (1800) Dear Beethoven: You are going to Vienna in fulfillment of your long-frustrated wishes. The Genius of Mozart is still mourning and weeping over the death of her pupil. She found a refuge but no occupation with the inexhaustible Haydn; through him she wishes once more to form a union with another. With the help of assiduous labor you shall receive Mozart’s spirit from Haydn’s hands. So wrote Ferdinand Ernst Gabriel von Count Waldstein upon Beethoven’s long-awaited departure for Vienna in 1792. Waldstein (of “Waldstein” Sonata fame) was an early patron of Beethoven’s who had attempted to connect Beethoven with Mozart in 1787. The two composers may have indeed met, but only briefly, as Beethoven’s visit to Vienna was cut short by the death of his mother. The introductory quote was written the night before Beethoven left for Vienna to begin his studies with Joseph Haydn, penned in an autograph book that many of Beethoven’s friends, supporters, and patrons signed. The Haydn-Beethoven pairing was not the mentor-pupil relationship that Count Waldstein had wistfully envisioned. It appears Beethoven only studied counterpoint for about a year with Haydn before Haydn returned to London. There is evidence

that Haydn was less than thorough in his lessons with Beethoven and possibly only contributed to reworking pieces Beethoven had previously composed. There is no evidence or mention of any lessons in composition. There are some reports of bad blood between the two, although they greatly admired each other’s gifts. They remained professional and did not take the issues too seriously, a wise move on the young, and often ornery, Beethoven’s part, as Haydn was the most successful and influential composer of the time. For the first several years in Vienna, Beethoven studied his craft and performed in the salons of the aristocracy; he did not immediately set out to take Vienna by storm with his compositions. He wrote pieces for the piano and violin but saved his most influential works for the turn of the century. Between 1798 and 1800, Beethoven turned toward the string quartet and the symphony, the two genres that his predecessors Mozart and Haydn had made famous. Until then, he had written in almost all other genres except those. This was perhaps in deference to the fairly recent death of Mozart or to “Papa” Haydn, who was still popular and composing in Vienna, or perhaps inspiration simply had not struck until then; regardless, at the end of what historians label Beethoven’s “early” period, he turned his energies toward the string quartet and the symphony—and would reinvent them. The pre-eminent musicologist Sir Donald Tovey stated that the First Symphony was “Beethoven’s fitting farewell to the eighteenth century.” While the work’s roots lie more with Mozart and Haydn, there are prescient flashes of the innovations Beethoven will eventually make on the symphony in terms of harmony, rhythm, orchestration, scope, and form. The premiere of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 1 took place in a performance that was essentially Beethoven’s “coming out”

2014/15 Season

concert: This was the concert that was to truly introduce Beethoven, the composer, to Vienna. In addition to the First Symphony, Beethoven programmed a Mozart symphony, two movements from The Creation by Haydn, and Beethoven’s Septet, Op. 20 and the Piano Concerto in C Major. The concert took place on April 2, 1800, at Vienna’s Burgtheater with Beethoven conducting Much has been written about the opening of the first movement, perhaps more than has been written about the entire symphony. Beethoven opens his First Symphony in a most curious manner: there is essentially no tonal center that makes sense in C Major in the entire introduction. The opening chords have a dominant-tonic (V–I) relationship in the key of F major, not C Major. The next measure starts with a G7 chord which could expectedly resolve to C Major, but Beethoven goes to an a minor chord instead (V–VI). The next measures appear to be modulating to G Major, but as soon as that key is “established,” Beethoven changes the game and adds F naturals which are not in the key of G Major. He flirts off and on with G Major and C Major, but it is not until the downbeat of the Allegro that C Major is finally and firmly established. It is for this reason that it is often stated that Beethoven started his First Symphony in the “wrong” key. Perhaps that is in the ear of the beholder. The movement continues in textbook sonata form after its rocky and unexpected start. Of particular note is the wonderful wind writing; the winds are no longer relegated to merely shading and coloring string melodies, they have their own voice and interaction with the strings. The second movement Andante cantabile con moto (singing with motion) is graceful and charming and never runs the risk of dragging or languishing into a symphonic Adagio; it is a true Andante. The use of the timpani helps the feeling of moving forward and at the time, was a particularly radical instrument to use in a slow movement. The third movement, although labeled a Minuet, is often considered to be Beethoven’s first symphonic Scherzo, of which there would be many more famous examples. The last movement again finds Beethoven toying with the audience. He opens on a unison G—the dominant (V) of C Major. He then slowly and deliberately outlines a C Major scale note by note, but starting on the wrong note (G instead of C). This bit of introductory fun gives way to the flashy and jubilant Allegro. ● Program Notes ® Lori Newman

Ottmar Liebert guitar Ottmar Liebert’s incredible global success on a musical level often seems like a simple outgrowth of his cultural background and powerful wanderlust in his formative years. Born in Cologne, Germany, to a ChineseGerman father and Hungarian mother, he began playing guitar at 11 and traveled extensively throughout Europe and Asia, intent on fully absorbing each musical tradition he encountered. After pursuing his Rock and Roll dreams, first in his native Germany and then in Boston, he abandoned the frustrations of the East coast and settled in Santa Fe, New Mexico. By 1989, he had founded the first incarnation of his new band Luna Negra. Nouveau Flamenco began life as a selfproduced local release called Marita: Shadows and Storms, copies of which local Indian artist Frank Howell distributed in his art galleries. When the record found its way to radio stations and began generating a buzz among programmers and an unprecedented response among listeners, Higher Octave Music picked it up and released a fully remastered version. Liebert has since become one of the most successful instrumental artists of the past decade, thrilling audiences throughout the world and releasing a catalog of classic recordings, including the remix collection Euphoria (1995), the live album Viva! (1995), the double CD Opium (1996), and the classical-oriented orchestral album Leaning into the Night (1997). He wrapped up his decade with Epic with 2001’s Little Wing and went back to Higher Octave Music, releasing a lush album of lullabies called In the Arms of Love in 2002 and an album with Luna Negra XL called The Santa Fe Sessions (2003).

La Semana (2004) was the first all-new band album in five years, followed by Winter Rose (2005), which featured original pieces, classical music and Christmas songs. In 2006, Liebert’s record label SSRI released One Guitar, his first solo guitar recording, which received Liebert’s fourth nomination for a Grammy. His newest releases are Up Close (2008), which is a binaural dummy head surround sound recording, and The Scent of Light (2008), a labor of five years. ●
