Celebrating Two Careers: REBECCA CHERIAN & JOSEPH ROUNDS WITH GRATITUDE FOR YOUR TREMENDOUS CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE PITTSBURGH SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA REBECCA CHERIAN, CO-PRINCIPAL TROMBONE Rebecca Cherian was awarded the position of co-principal trombone of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra by Lorin Maazel in 1989. She has been trombone instructor at Carnegie Mellon University since 1993. Cherian was a founding member of the International Women’s Brass Conference in 1994 and served as the IWBC Newsletter Editor for five years. A California native, Cherian began her professional career at the age of 16 as trombonist with the San Jose Symphony under the direction of George Cleve. At the age of 17, she appeared as a soloist with the San Francisco Symphony as a result of winning First Prize in their Young Musicians’ Awards. Cherian earned her Bachelor of Music Degree from the California Institute of the Arts, and her Master of Music Degree from the Yale School of Music. While in school she was awarded First Place in the Atwater Kent Brass Competition and Outstanding Chamber Music Performer at Yale. She studied with Miles Anderson, Robert Szabo and John Swallow. Before becoming a member of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, Cherian held positions of principal trombone with the Springfield Symphony in Massachusetts and the Rhode Island Philharmonic. She was trombone instructor at the University of Connecticut in Storrs, the Hartt School of Music and Wesleyan University. As a freelance artist, she toured with the Israel Philharmonic under the direction of Leonard Bernstein, and performed with the Boston Opera, New York City Ballet, Hartford, New Haven and Vermont Symphonies and Goodspeed Opera House. In September 1993, Cherian enjoyed the honor of performing at the White House in Washington, D.C. as part of a 15-woman ensemble of brass and percussion players for the opening reception of the Annual International Women’s Forum. The group performed the world premiere of Joan Tower’s fanfare, Celebration, which was dedicated to Hillary Clinton. Cherian appears regularly as a soloist and master class Clinician at the IWBC.

ERWIN SCHULHOFF (1894-1942)
Five Pieces (1923)
Czech composer and pianist Erwin Schulhoff experienced profoundly the ancient Chinese curse/ blessing by living in interesting, and, for him, ultimately treacherous times. Born into a musical family in Prague on June 8, 1894, Schulhoff studied (on the advice of Dvořák) at the conservatory in his hometown from 1904 to 1906 before completing his formal education at music schools in Vienna (1906-1908), Leipzig (1908-1910, where he was a student of Max Reger) and Cologne (1911-1914); he also took some lessons with Debussy. After military service in World War I, Schulhoff returned to Prague, where he worked as a composer, teacher and concert and jazz pianist before settling again in Germany in 1919. He was an active propagandist for new music in both Czechoslovakia and Germany, organizing concerts and including works by members of the Second Viennese School and other avant-gardists in his own recitals, and espousing the aims of such artistic modernists as Grosz, Klee and the German Dadaists. Schulhoff was back in Prague in 1929, teaching piano and orchestration at the city’s conservatory and working for Czech Radio. He took up the cause of Marxism in the early 1930s as a reaction to the rise of Nazism, made a rousing musical setting of the Communist Manifesto in 1932 (not performed, however, until 1962, in Prague), and attended the International Congress of Revolutionary Musicians in Moscow the following year. He joined the Communist Party and wrote a half-dozen symphonies in the optimistic, easily accessible style dictated by Stalin in the 1930s. He was granted the supposed protection of Soviet citizenship when the Nazis overran Czechoslovakia in 1939, but it did not work. Schulhoff, outspoken in his political views and of Jewish origins, was imprisoned before he could flee from Prague to Russia and interned in a concentration camp at Wülzburg, in Bavaria, where he died of tuberculosis on August 18, 1942. Schulhoff’s eclectic music ranges across the amazing variety of styles jostling each other during the time between the two world wars: jazz, neo-classicism, impressionism, expressionism, quartertone and serial experiments, Bartókian folklorism, socialist realism. He established his most characteristic idiom with his works of the 1920s, marked by the rhythmic impetuousness of hot jazz and the brazen, boisterous iconoclasm that made that decade one of the most fertile in the entire history of music. His creative output includes an opera, three ballets, six symphonies (his last, the Symphony of Freedom, was composed just before he was imprisoned by the Nazis), four concertos, two string quartets and a variety of other chamber scores (among them the Hot Sonata for Alto Saxophone and Piano), songs and choral pieces (notably the “jazz oratorio” H.M.S. Royal Oak), and piano compositions (several of which reflect Schulhoff’s work as a jazz performer). Though Weimar Germany of the 1920s was a place of seared memory, turbulent present and uncertain future, it was a cauldron of musical creativity. Some, including Weill and Hindemith, the country’s best young composers, responded with caustic satire and mutations of the day’s most fashionable musical styles, and the influence of these Dadaist tendencies on Schulhoff is reflected in the Five Pieces for String Quartet that he wrote in December 1923 and dedicated to the French composer Darius Milhaud, who had premiered his jazz-driven ballet La Création du Monde just two months before in Paris; the Five Pieces were introduced on August 8, 1924 by the Czechoslovak Quartet at the Festival of the International Society for Contemporary Music in Salzburg. Each of the Five Pieces is Schulhoff’s commentary on a popular or traditional dance style, the sort of attitude and technique that the American composer and critic Eric Salzman cogently identified in the music of Igor Stravinsky as “Art about Art.” The first is Alla [in the manner of a] Valse 10
Viennese, though the music is notated not in the genre’s quintessential three-quarter time but in a duple meter whose grating cross-accents constantly unsettle the expected rhythmic patterns and Gemütlichkeit sentiments. The limping five-beat meter, obsessive accompaniment, stunted melodies and sometimes harsh, sometimes cloying harmonies of the Alla Serenata make it seem more furtive than romantic. Alla Czeca [Czech Dance], with its short repeating phrases, metric regularity and simple textures, is the most conventional of the Five Pieces, perhaps a mark of Schulhoff’s respect for the musical traditions of his homeland. Alla Tango Milonga is based on the Argentinean dance that was wildly popular in Europe during the 1920s, but Schulhoff’s version has been filtered through the prism of Viennese Expressionism, perhaps a song for Schoenberg’s demented Pierrot Lunaire rather than for a sultry Buenos Aires couple. Schulhoff originally sketched an Alla Marcia Militaristica in Modo Europaia as the last of the Five Pieces, but he ultimately decided on a less memory-laden Alla Tarantella whose whirling themes and non-stop motion provide an exciting close for the work.
WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART (1756-1791)
Concerto No. 20 in D minor for Piano and Orchestra, K. 466 (1785)
The year 1785 marked an important turning point in Mozart’s attitude toward his work and his public, a change in which this D minor Concerto was central. When he tossed over his secure but hated position as composer and concertmaster to the Archbishop Colloredo in his native Salzburg, he determined that, at age 25, he would go to Vienna to seek his fame and fortune as a piano virtuoso. He found both, at least for the first few years, during which he gave a large number of “Academies,” instrumental and vocal concerts that were popular during the Lenten season, when regular theatrical and operatic activities were proscribed by the Church. His concertos for those Academies winningly satisfied the Viennese requirement for pleasantly diverting entertainment, and they were among the most eagerly awaited of his new music. There was something for everyone in them, he told his father in a letter of 1782, the time of the first Viennese concertos (K. 413, 414, 415): “The concertos straddle the line between that which is too difficult and too easy; they are brilliant and pleasant for the ears, of course without being empty. Now and then connoisseurs too can receive satisfaction, but so that those who are not will be content without knowing why.” His success in 1784 may be gauged by the length of the subscription list for his concerts, which included more than 150 names representing the cream of the local nobility: eight princes, one duke, two counts, one countess, one baroness, and many others of similar pedigree. The D minor Concerto must have puzzled the concert habitués of Vienna. This new and disturbing work, from a composer who had previously offered such ingratiating pieces, did not conform to their standard for a pleasant evening’s diversion. Instead, it demanded greater attention and a deeper emotional involvement than they were prepared to expend. Mozart’s tendency in his later years toward a more subtle and more profound expression was gained at the expense of alienating his listeners. One bemused musical amateur, for example, returned to the publisher his set of parts for the new quartets dedicated to Haydn because he was convinced such wide-ranging harmony as they contained was the result of engraver’s error rather than composer’s choice. Another customer simply tore up his copy and sent a scornful letter to the publisher demanding his money back. Emperor Joseph II lamented that Mozart’s works contained “too many notes,” and that there was simply no reason to write music with such complex textures and harmonies. Even Karl Ditters von PROGRAM NOTES 2021-2022 SEASON
11
Dittersdorf, a distinguished composer of the time who undoubtedly envied Mozart’s melodic gift, grumbled about “the amazing wealth of ideas — I could almost wish he were not so lavish in using them. He leaves his hearer out of breath, for hardly has he grasped one beautiful thought than another of greater fascination dispels the first, and this goes on throughout, so that in the end it is impossible to retain any one of these beautiful melodies.” Harmony, texture, melody: by 1785, Mozart was using these elements to produce music that would satisfy his artistic vision rather than cater to the whims of the Viennese audiences. The concept of a composition as the expression of a musician’s inner feelings rather than as an agreeable adornment to a specific concert, church service or public ceremony, which was to gain overwhelming importance during the Romantic age, arose with Mozart. Before him, virtually all music had been written on commission — made to order for a particular occasion. Mozart, and, of course, Beethoven, riding the waves of change in all areas of social and cultural thought that swept Europe in the late 18th century, altered forever the way in which the artist perceives and is perceived. Mozart’s aristocratic patrons were not quite ready for such revolutionary ideas, and it is little surprise that when he circulated a subscription list for his 1789 Academies, it was returned with only one signature. It is little thanks to Vienna that Mozart’s most sublime masterworks — Don Giovanni, the G minor Quintet, the Requiem, the G minor Symphony, this D minor Concerto — were created. It is fortunate for modern listeners that Mozart was courageous enough to write music that transcended the undemanding taste of his contemporaries. The very qualities that baffled them have enabled his works not only to survive but to flourish long after most 18th-century music has been forgotten. The D minor Concerto looks forward to the richly expressive, emotionally volatile music of the Romantic Age, and, because of this quality, it was the most often performed of his concertos during the 19th century. Cuthbert Girdlestone summarized the mood of the work in his study of Mozart’s concertos: “[The key] of D minor is associated in Mozart with a dusky, foreboding, inward, unlyrical emotion, a passion of struggle rather than laments and cries, expressive of threatening fate. It speaks of danger, physical and moral.” This great Concerto is a work not only of pianistic brilliance and technical perfection, but one that also explores deepseated sentiments — music to stir both heart and mind. The first movement of the D minor Concerto “begins with a shudder and is full of unhappy commotion,” according to Mozart authority Eric Blom. It follows the concerto-sonata form that Mozart had perfected in his earlier works for piano and orchestra, and is filled with conflict between soloist and tutti which is heightened by enormous harmonic, dynamic, and rhythmic tensions. The second movement, titled “Romanza,” moves to the brighter key of B-flat major to provide a contrast to the stormy opening Allegro, but even this lovely music summons a dark, minor-mode intensity for one of its episodes. The finale is a complex sonata-rondo form with developmental episodes. The D major coda that ends the work provides less a light-hearted, happy conclusion than a sense of catharsis capping the magnificent cumulative drama of this noble masterwork. Girdlestone wrote of this work, simply, “The D minor may claim to represent Mozart at his highest point of creative power.”

PETER ILYICH TCHAIKOVSKY (1840-1893)
Symphony No. 5 in E minor, Opus 64 (1888)
Tchaikovsky was never able to maintain his self-confidence for long, and his opinion of a new work frequently fluctuated between the extremes of satisfaction and denigration. The unjustly neglected Manfred Symphony of 1885, for example, left his pen as “the best I have ever written,” but the work failed to make a good impression at its premiere, and Tchaikovsky’s estimation of it tumbled. The lack of success of Manfred was particularly painful because he had not produced a major orchestral work since the Violin Concerto of 1878, and the score’s failure left him with the gnawing worry that he might be “written out.” The three years after Manfred were devoid of creative work. It was not until May 1888 that Tchaikovsky again took up the challenge of the blank page. On May 27th he wrote to his brother Modeste, “To speak frankly, I feel as yet no impulse for creative work. What does this mean? Have I written myself out? No ideas, no inclination! Still, I am hoping to collect, little by little, material for a symphony.” Though he was unusually secretive about the progress of this new piece, he must have begun it as soon as this letter was written, since the sketch of the complete score was finished just six weeks later. “I am exceedingly anxious to prove to myself, as to others,” he wrote to his benefactress, Nazedha von Meck, “that I am not played out as a composer.” He worked doggedly on the symphony, ignoring illness, the premature encroachment of old age (he was only 48, but suffered from continual exhaustion and loss of vision), and his troubling self-doubts, and when it was completed, by the end of August, he allowed, “I have not blundered; it has turned out well.” Tchaikovsky’s satisfaction was soon mitigated, however, by the work’s premiere in St. Petersburg on November 17, 1888. Though the Fifth Symphony was applauded by the public, he felt that it was a failure, that the ovation was for his earlier pieces rather than for this new one, and that the whole affair was cause for “a deep dissatisfaction with myself.” Modeste was convinced that any negative reaction to the Fifth Symphony — and the critics had some — could be traced to an inadequate performance, but Tchaikovsky could not be persuaded of the work’s value until a performance in Hamburg early in 1889, when musicians, critics and audience alike received it enthusiastically. Even the venerable Johannes Brahms, who was not strongly drawn to the music of his Russian colleague, made a special effort to attend the performance on a visit to his hometown. Tchaikovsky was buoyed by his reception in Hamburg, and his estimation of the Fifth Symphony (and of himself) shot up once again. The work has remained among the staples of the concert repertory. Tchaikovsky never gave any indication that the Symphony No. 5, unlike the Fourth Symphony, had a program, though he may well have had one in mind. Years after its composition, some rough sketches that apparently refer to the Symphony No. 5 were discovered in his notebooks: “Introduction. Complete resignation before Fate, or, which is the same, before the inscrutable predestination of Providence. Allegro (1) Murmurs, doubts, plaints against XXX. (2) Shall I throw myself into the embrace of faith???” The “XXX” probably referred to Tchaikovsky’s homosexuality, the only matter he concealed behind secret signs in his notes and diary. If that is so, the Fifth Symphony represents Tchaikovsky’s resignation to his fate in the way he could best command — music. The workings of fate were an obsessive theme with him, and the program of the earlier Fourth Symphony portrays man’s happiness crushed by that intractable power at every turn. In their biography of the composer, Lawrence and Elisabeth Hanson reckoned Tchaikovsky’s view of PROGRAM NOTES 2021-2022 SEASON

fate as the motivating force in the Symphony No. 5, though they distinguished its interpretation from that in the Fourth Symphony. “In the Fourth Symphony,” the Hansons wrote, “the Fate theme is earthy and militant, as if the composer visualizes the implacable enemy in the form, say, of a Greek god. In the Fifth, the majestic Fate theme has been elevated far above earth, and man is seen, not as fighting a force that thinks on its own terms, of revenge, hate or spite, but as a wholly spiritual power which subjects him to checks and agonies for the betterment of his soul.” The structure of the Fifth Symphony reflects this process of “betterment.” It progresses from minor to major, from darkness to light, from melancholy to joy — or at least to acceptance and stoic resignation. It is the same path Beethoven blazed in his Fifth Symphony, and the power of such a musico-philosophical construction was not lost on Tchaikovsky, or on any other 19th-century musician. The sense of a perilous obstacle surmounted through struggle energizes both works, and is the substance of any “message” that Tchaikovsky may have embedded in this Symphony. The Symphony’s four movements are linked together through the use of a recurring “Fate” motto theme, given immediately at the beginning by unison clarinets as the brooding introduction to the first movement. The sonata form proper starts with a melancholy melody intoned by bassoon and clarinet over a stark string accompaniment. The woodwinds enter with wave-form scale patterns followed by a stentorian passage for the brass that leads to a climax. Several themes are presented to round out the exposition: a romantic tune, filled with emotional swells, for the strings; an aggressive strain given as a dialogue between winds and strings; and a languorous, sighing string melody. Again, the brasses are brought forth to climax this section. All of the themes are treated in the development section. The solo bassoon ushers in the recapitulation, and the themes from the exposition are heard again, though with changes of key and instrumentation. After a final climax in the coda, the movement fades, softer and slower, and sinks, finally, into the lowest reaches of the orchestra. At the head of the manuscript of the second movement Tchaikovsky is said to have written, “Oh, how I love ... if you love me …,” a sentiment that calls to mind an operatic love scene. (Tchaikovsky, it should be remembered, was a master of the musical stage who composed more operas than he did symphonies.) The expressiveness of the opening theme, hauntingly played by the solo horn, is heightened as the movement proceeds through enriched contrapuntal lines and instrumental sonorities. Twice, the imperious Fate motto intrudes upon the starlit mood of this romanza. If the second movement derives from opera, the third grows from ballet. A flowing waltz melody (inspired by a street song Tchaikovsky had heard in Italy a decade earlier) dominates much of the movement. The central trio section exhibits a scurrying figure in the strings which shows the influence of Léo Delibes, the French master of ballet music whom Tchaikovsky deeply admired. Quietly and briefly, the Fate motto returns in the movement’s closing pages. The finale begins with a long introduction based on the Fate theme cast in a heroic rather than a sinister or melancholy mood. A vigorous exposition, a concentrated development and an intense recapitulation follow. The long coda uses the motto theme in a major-key, victory-won setting. This stirring work ends with a final statement from the trumpets and horns, and closing chords from the full orchestra. The Hansons characterized Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony in the following manner: “The Fifth Symphony is splendid music, grand and dignified, and its form expresses the content more satisfactorily than in any other of Tchaikovsky’s large works for orchestra. But the final thought must be, as with so many of this composer’s works, a thought transcending the obvious pleasure of tunefulness, superb orchestration, and passionate self-questioning; it is from first note to last noble. Never querulous, never playing to the gallery, it exposes the soul of a man which all must feel the better for knowing." 14

MANFRED HONECK Manfred Honeck has firmly established himself as one of the world’s leading conductors, whose unmistakable, distinctive and revelatory interpretations receive great international acclaim. He is currently in his 14th season as Music Director of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. Celebrated both at home and abroad, Manfred Honeck and the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, one of the most frequently toured North American orchestras, serve as cultural ambassadors for the city of Pittsburgh. Guest appearances regularly include Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center in New York, as well as the major venues of Europe and festivals such as the BBC Proms, Salzburg Festival, Musikfest Berlin, Lucerne Festival, Rheingau Music Festival, Beethovenfest Bonn, and Grafenegg Festival. Manfred Honeck’s successful work in Pittsburgh is extensively documented by recordings on the Reference Recordings label. All SACDs, these recordings feature works by Strauss, Beethoven, Bruckner, Tchaikovsky and others, and have received a multitude of outstanding reviews and awards, including a number of GRAMMY® nominations. The recording of Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 5/Barber Adagio won the GRAMMY® for “Best Orchestral Performance” in 2018. In February of 2021, Manfred Honeck and the Pittsburgh Symphony released a new recording of Beethoven Symphony No. 9 in celebration of the orchestra’s 125th anniversary season. Their most recent release is a recording of Brahms No. 4/MacMillan Larghetto for Orchestra. Born in Austria, Manfred Honeck completed his musical training at the University of Music in Vienna. His many years of experience as a member of the viola section in the Vienna Philharmonic and Vienna State Opera Orchestra have had a lasting influence on his work as a conductor. His art of interpretation is based on his determination to venture deep beneath the surface of the music. He began his conducting career as assistant to Claudio Abbado and as director of the Vienna Jeunesse Orchestra. Subsequently, he was engaged by the Zurich Opera House, where he was awarded the European Conducting Prize in 1993. He has since served as one of three 16

principal conductors of the MDR Symphony Orchestra Leipzig, as Music Director of the Norwegian National Opera, Principal Guest Conductor of the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra and Czech Philharmonic Orchestra, and Chief Conductor of the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra in Stockholm. From 2007 to 2011, Manfred Honeck was Music Director of the Staatsoper Stuttgart, where he led premieres of Berlioz’s Les Troyens, Mozart’s Idomeneo, Verdi’s Aida, Richard Strauss’s Rosenkavalier, Poulenc’s Dialogues des Carmélites and Wagner’s Lohengrin and Parsifal. Guest performances in opera led him to Semperoper Dresden, Komische Oper Berlin, Théâtre de la Monnaie in Brussels, Royal Opera of Copenhagen, the White Nights Festival in St. Petersburg and the Salzburg Festival. In Beethoven’s anniversary year of 2020, he conducted a new staging of Fidelio (1806 version) at the Theater an der Wien. Beyond the podium, Manfred Honeck has designed a series of symphonic suites, including Janáček’s Jenůfa, Strauss’s Elektra and Dvořák’s Rusalka. He recorded all of these arrangements with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, and regularly performs them with orchestras around the globe.

Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra, Boston Symphony Orchestra and San Francisco Symphony. He has also been Artistic Director of the International Concerts Wolfegg in Germany for more than twenty-five years. Manfred Honeck holds honorary doctorates from several universities in the United States and also was awarded the honorary title of Professor by the Austrian Federal President. In 2018, the jury of the International Classical Music Awards declared him “Artist of the Year.”
Carnegie Museum of Art is delighted to bring you this artwork from our collection that connects to the sounds of the Pittsburgh Symphony that you will hear today, through a partnership born from our shared 125th anniversaries in 2020. “Art evokes the mystery without which the world would not exist.” -René Magritte An evolution of early 20th century artistic movements impacted by the upheaval of WWI connects composer Erwin Schulhoff and artist René Magritte. Schulhoff became inspired by Dada artists in Germany who sought to reject artistic conventions through purposeful and irrational acts. Poetry, music, visual art, and performance reflected the absurdities of life that followed the chaos of war. From Dada grew Surrealism which also condemned reason and rational thought but through the mysteries of the mind. Subconscious thoughts, dreams, and imagination inspired artists including Magritte who became a leading figure in the movement. Magritte’s paintings challenge us to leave the search for meaning behind and embrace the mysterious that is before us.

DAULER HEARING LOOP: A system to provide better sound to hearing aid and cochlear implant users.
If you use a hearing aid or have a cochlear implant, you can have an improved listening experience at Heinz Hall concerts and events! The Dauler Hearing Loop runs throughout the auditorium, with the exception of the Orchestra pit, first four Orchestra level rows and Grand Box left. The hearing loop system also is installed at the Heinz Hall Box Office windows, allowing you to hear the amplified voice of Box Office personnel directly through t-coil enabled hearing aids. VISIT OR CALL THE HEINZ HALL BOX OFFICE AT 412.392.4900 WITH ANY QUESTIONS. The Dauler Hearing Loop is named for late Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra trustee L. Van V. Dauler, Jr and was made possible through a gift from Randi & L. Van V. Dauler, Jr. and the Emma Clyde Hodge Memorial Foundation.
TO USE THE DAULER HEARING LOOP: If you have a hearing aid or cochlear implant with a telecoil (t-coil) you need to make sure the t-coil is activated and properly set by your audiologist. You can then activate the setting once in Heinz Hall. If you are not sure if your hearing aid has a t-coil or if you experience difficulty and require assistance, please contact your audiologist. Sound heard through telecoils can vary from hearing aid to hearing aid and according to position in the theater. Generally, the best signal is found when you sit in the center of a row and facing toward the stage. If you need further assistance in selecting the best seats, please contact the Heinz Hall box office.
