ARCANGELO CORELLI
Concerto Grosso No. 4 in D major, Opus 6 (published in 1714)
Arcangelo Corelli lived at one of the crucial times in the history of music: Stradivarius, Amati and other Cremonese master craftsmen were perfecting the string instruments; the ancient dogma of modality was being replaced by the modern system of tonal harmony; instrumental music was coming to equal opera and the old vocal forms in importance; and the professional virtuoso instrumental ensemble was developing into an integral part of musical life. Each of these areas — elements essential in the evolution of Western music — was in need of a guiding genius to codify and bring to finished form the many scattered experiments that marked the music of the mid-17th century. Corelli proved to be that genius. Corelli published just six sets of a dozen works each: 48 trio sonatas (Opp. 1-4), twelve solo sonatas (Op. 5) and twelve concerti grossi (Op. 6); these last works were published on 1714, a year after his death, and were enormously influential. The Concerto No. 4 in D major, which comprises several compact movements, is an example of the socalled Baroque “church” concerto, which was more serious in tone and more fugal in texture than the lighter, dance-inspired “chamber” concerto.
FRANCESCO GEMINIANI
Concerto Grosso No. 4 in F major, H.135 (1687-1762)
Francesco Geminiani was born in Lucca, Italy, in 1687, first studied violin with his father, then went to Milan as a pupil of Carlo Ambrogio Lonati, and finally traveled to Rome, where his teachers were Arcangelo Corelli and Alessandro Scarlatti. Geminiani settled in Naples in 1711 as concertmaster of the opera orchestra there, and three years later moved to London, which became his base as he performed, taught, composed, produced concerts, and toured extensively in Britain and on the Continent. Geminiani’s teacher Arcangelo Corelli published his twelve Sonatas for Violin and Continuo, Op. 5 in Rome on January 1, 1700. They proved to be among the most popular musical items of their time, and were largely responsible for solidifying Corelli’s reputation throughout Europe. Geminiani arranged all twelve as concerti grossi in 1726-1727. The Concerto No. 4 in F major follows the general plan of the sonata da chiesa (“church sonata”) — two fast movements with close dialogue between violin and continuo, each preceded by a slow movement — but inserts an additional quick movement before the second Adagio.
IGOR STRAVINSKY
Concerto in D major for String Orchestra (1946)
When Paul Sacher founded the Basel Chamber Orchestra in 1926, one of his purposes was to foster the performance of new music. To that end (and with the inestimable help of the fortune of his wife, Maja Stehlin, widow of the founder of the Hoffmann-La Roche pharmaceutical firm, makers of Valium, Librium and Tamiflu), he commissioned works from Bartók (Music for Strings, Percussion and Celeste and Divertimento), Honegger (Symphonies Nos. 2 and 4), Strauss 8
(Metamorphosen), Martin (Petite Symphonie Concertante, Etudes for Strings), Britten (Cantata Academica) and other modern masters for his concert series. At the beginning of 1946, Sacher ordered from Igor Stravinsky (then living in Hollywood, recently having become a naturalized United States citizen) a piece for string orchestra for the orchestra’s twentieth anniversary; it was the composer’s first European commission in a dozen years. Stravinsky worked throughout the spring on the new piece, and completed his Concerto in D for String Orchestra in August 1946 in Hollywood. Sacher and the Basel Chamber Orchestra introduced the work on January 21 of the following year, Stravinsky’s first premiere in Europe since the Concerto for Two Pianos of 1935.
BÉLA BARTÓK
Divertimento for String Orchestra (1939)
“Yes, those were horrible days for us, too, those days when Austria was attacked,” Bartók wrote from Budapest on April 13, 1938. “The most frightful thing for us is that we face the threat of seeing Hungary given over to this regime of bandits and murderers. I cannot imagine how I could live in such a country.” Given the unsettled and frightening political situation under which all Eastern Europeans lived during the terrible days of 1938 and 1939, it is little wonder that Bartók’s creativity was undermined. He managed to complete the Violin Concerto No. 2 in December 1938, but then was too preoccupied to undertake any further original work. Paul Sacher, conductor of the Basel Chamber Orchestra and a close friend, invited the Bartóks to spend the summer of 1939 at his chalet in Switzerland and commissioned a new piece from him for his orchestra. Bartók accepted both of the invitations and arrived at Saanen in July. He retreated into the welcome isolation to undertake Sacher’s commission and created one of his most accessible compositions — the Divertimento for String Orchestra.
BÉLA BARTÓK
Selections from Rumanian Folk Dances, Sz. 56 (1915)
Around 1905, during the difficult, poverty-ridden years after he completed his studies at the Liszt Conservatory in Budapest, Bartók was invited by a friend to spend a few days in the country. On the trip, he overheard a servant girl singing a strange and intriguing song while going about her chores. He asked her about it, and was told that the girl’s mother had taught it to her, as her grandmother had passed it on a generation before, and that there were many more such songs. Bartók soon realized that this sturdy folk music was little related to the slick Gypsy airs and dances of the city cafés that had long passed for indigenous Hungarian music. He gave many of the years of the rest of his life to collecting, cataloging and evaluating this vast heritage, and it deeply affected his creative work. While his larger concert works display the essence of folk songs rather than quoting them directly, some of the smaller ones are based faithfully on the models, including the little set of Rumanian Folk Dances. He collected the melodies for the six brief movements between 1909 and 1914, and set them in an almost unaltered fashion, adding mainly the enriched but characteristic harmonic background.

As a passionate advocate for young rising artists, he was the assistant conductor to the State Youth Orchestra of Hessen. In addition, he was also the conductor of the Under-16 Orchestra of Tonhalle Düsseldorf and regularly coached the Youth Orchestra of Essen. He is the conductor of the annual European Youth Music Week where talented young musicians across Europe gather for intense music making. A staunch believer in empowering others, Moon has actively worked with asylum seekers in Hungary, children in underserved areas of Bangladesh, and inmates in Baltimore as the president of a student organization while completing his B.A. in International Relations and Economics from Johns Hopkins University. In recent years, Moon has worked with many orchestras across Europe: Duisburger
Philharmoniker, Dortmunder Philharmoniker, Düsseldorfer Symphoniker, Neue Philharmonie Westfalen, and Bergische Symphoniker in Germany, Romanian Chamber Orchestra in Romania, Malaga Philharmonic Orchestra in Spain, Sinfonietta Cracovia in Poland, and Ruse Philharmonic in Bulgaria to name a few. Under the tutelage of Rüdiger Bohn, Moon received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in orchestral conducting from the Robert Schumann Hochschule in Düsseldorf, Germany. Prior to his conducting studies, he received a B.A. in music composition from Sahmyook University in South Korea. Moon has participated in renowned music festivals such as Accademia Chigiana in Italy and Bartók Festival in Hungary. His conducting mentors include Cristian Măcelaru, Peter Eötvös, Jorma Panula, and Manuel Hernandez Silva.

LEGACY OF EXCELLENCE
In addition to income from the Annual Fund, the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra is dependent on a robust endowment to assure its long-term financial stability. Gifts from Legacy of Excellence programs are directed to the endowment to provide for the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra’s future. The Steinberg Society honors donors who have advised the Pittsburgh Symphony in writing that they have made a provision for the orchestra in their will. Endowed naming opportunities for guest artists, musicians’ chairs, concert series, educational programs or designated spaces allow donors to specify a name or tribute for 10 years, 20 years or in perpetuity.

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.
