Austin Symphony Orchestra NOT E S ON THE PROGRAM Ludwig van Beethoven (1770 –1827) March in C Major, Zapfenstreich, WoO 20 (approx.

4 minutes) Three Equali for Four Trombones, WoO 30 (approx. 5 minutes) By the turn of the 19th century, Beethoven’s name was well-established in Vienna, and he was flooded with commissions. A Beethoven commission, even a small one, was a source of pride, as well as welcome income to the composer.

With Europe’s endless wars, composing military marches was popular and lucrative. Beethoven composed the Zapfenstreich for an unknown purpose in 1810. It was one of three marches with that title, which Beethoven offered to his publisher in 1823. They were published posthumously 1865.

The three Equali (for equal voices or parts) were commissioned in 1812 by Franz Xaver Glöggl, the Kapellmeister of the city of Linz in Austria. It was to be performed as tower music at the city’s Old Cathedral. Nos. 1 and 3 were performed at Beethoven’s funeral.

Particularly popular in Central Europe, tower music for wind instruments dates back to the Middle Ages. Initally, it had a strictly civic purpose to alert the citizens of a town or city but gradually morphed into a separate celebratory genre for brass choir to be performed from a town or church tower.

Antonio Salieri (1750–1825) Sinfonia in D Major, La Veneziana (approx.

10 minutes) Antonio Salieri is best known today for what he didn’t do. Reinvented by playwright Peter Shaffer in the play and film Amadeus, Salieri is notorious for his obsessive envy and the poisoning of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Shaffer portrays him as languishing in an asylum, consumed with equally obsessive remorse. All fiction—although for a time music historians placed Salieri among the suspects in Mozart’s mysterious death.

The historical Salieri was quite a different creature. Born in Legnano near Milan, he was orphaned at a young age. But through a series of lucky encounters with influential musical personalities he ended up in Vienna in 1766 where he received a first-rate musical education. Of a pleasant and outgoing disposition, he developed close friendships with the reigning librettist of serious opera, Pietro Metastasio, opera composer Christoph Willibald Gluck and most of all, Hapsburg Emperor Joseph II. In 1774, Joseph appointed him as Kammerkomponist (composer to the royal family) and in 1788 made him the Hofkapellmeister (head factotum of all musical activity at the court), a position he held until a year before his death. Salieri’s student, Anselm Hüttenbrenner, described his teacher as “the greatest musical diplomat.”

His was a talent that enabled him to develop one of the most brilliant musical careers of his time—if not the most brilliant music.

As a teacher, Salieri was famous for his kindness and generosity. Like many great teachers, he was able to bring out in others the genius that he himself

Austin Symphony Orchestra N OTE S O N T H E P RO G R A M lacked. He taught a stellar array of Franz Joseph Haydn (1732–1809) composers, including Beethoven, Sinfonia Hummel, Schubert, and Liszt. He had Concertante in amicable relations with Mozart and B-Flat Major for became music teacher to Mozart’s Violin, Cello, younger son, Franz Xaver Wolfgang.

Oboe, and Salieri composed about three dozen Bassoon, Op. 84, operas, more than 100 settings of Hob. I:105 (approx.

Haydn may have been thanking Salomon for his patronage by making this movement a showpiece for the violin, although the other soloists get their chance at some virtuosic display. There are a number of unexpected pauses and a false ending— the hallmarks of the composer’s love of surprises –before the finale.

Ludwig van Beethoven Symphony No. 2 in D major, Op. 36 (approx. 30 minutes)

of airy transitions, and the sudden surprises of abrupt rests,” wrote one paper, neatly capturing Haydn’s character and style.

Since the sinfonia concertante is a hybrid of a symphony and a concerto grosso, Haydn took liberties with both forms. While he opens the allegro with an orchestral tutti as in the standard classical concerto, there is no formal double exposition and the soloists enter impatiently nearly at once as part of the ensemble. When they make their solo appearances, they share the theme, rather than each stating it separately, maintaining a charming conversation with the orchestra. The soloists later share the development among them, along with a lighthearted cadenza.

The short Andante keeps the orchestra discreetly in the background, almost as if it were a basso continuo, allowing each soloist to embellish the lyrical theme.

The opening of the Allegro con spirito finale is interrupted by a recitative for the violin in Haydn’s classic mock‑serious vein, leading

The cheerful mood of the Second Symphony presents an ironic contrast to the circumstances under which it was written. Composed in the summer of 1802, the Symphony was the child of one of the blackest moments in Beethoven’s life. Finally obliged to confront head on the dire implications of his increasing deafness, he realized that this affliction was not only the cruelest blow to the practice of his art but also would in all likelihood deny him the normal friendships and family life to which he aspired. Advised by his physician to leave Vienna for the peace and quiet of the countryside, Beethoven spent that summer and fall in Heiligenstadt, a suburb of Vienna. From his refuge he wrote to his brothers the famous pessimistic letter known as the “Heiligenstadt Testament,” a timeless statement on the full practical and emotional ramifications of deafness.

Beethoven wrote, “…I was compelled early to keep apart, to live in loneliness; when at times I tried to surmount all this, oh, how harshly I was defeated by the doubly tragic experience of my bad hearing, and yet, I could not bring myself to say to people ‘Speak loudly for I am deaf.’” Beethoven never sent the letter, which was found among his effects after his death.

His personal tragedy notwithstanding, Beethoven had the dedication and inner strength to put the final touches to his

Austin Symphony Orchestra N OTE S O N T H E P RO G R A M Second Symphony and the Third Piano Concerto. These two, together with the oratorio, Christus am Ölberge (Christ on the Mount of Olives), were premiered on April 5, 1803 at a Beethoven Akademie (benefit Concert) in Vienna to great acclaim. (Scalpers were selling tickets at two to three times their nominal value.)

The Symphony illustrates the steady development of the composer’s style and orchestration, while still paying tribute to the spirit of Haydn and Mozart.The slow introduction is longer and weightier than the public was used to, even from Haydn. The Allegro introduces one of those deceptively simple themes—a slightly embellished five-finger exercise which Beethoven invested with new life through asymmetrical phrasing and unexpected harmonic direction.

The second movement, Larghetto,

presents a bouquet of lyrical melodies that contrast legato and detached articulation.

The Scherzo plays a game with sudden contrasts in dynamics and orchestral color, and the Finale continues with the sudden dynamic shifts. Its explosive opening, with special prominence for the timpani, points the way for the boisterous finales of Beethoven’s mature years. He capitalizes on the joke by developing it within the exposition and later in the development as a series of musical “hiccups.” It is almost as if the unpredictable changes in dynamics in these last two movements represent the composer’s erratic hearing.

These donors are a special group of music lovers who know that the ASO is to be commended for its prudent financial management as well as for the outstanding performances offered but, also, that ticket sales cover less than one-half the cost of these performances. Your gift generously supports the gift of music to others. Join this special family now: Call (512) 476-6064.

COVID-19 Emergency Fund

D ONat e NOW! INt e r NatIONaL Ly, W e are FaCI N G one of the greatest historical challenges with COViD-19. For the Austin Symphony Orchestra, this is no different, since opening our doors in 1911.

As individuals, we are all doing what we can to help by sheltering in place, ensuring that our loved ones and neighbors remain healthy. the Austin Symphony Orchestra survived the Spanish Flu of 1918. We survived two World Wars. yet, COViD-19 is the most significant threat we have seen due to its potential to impact our budget with the cancellation of concerts. Congress recognized the difficulties that nonprofits face and included changes to charitable contributions through the CArES Act. We will survive this adversity knowing that the greatest way to show love right now is to keep the hall empty.

Donate now to the ASO COViD-19 Emergency Fund and show your love for our talented musicians. Help ASO keep performing.

All of us here at ASO are thinking of you and yours,
