PROGRAM NOTES SCHUBERT, Symphony No. 8, “Unfinished” Few composers have been more prolific than Franz Schubert. Although he sometimes claimed he struggled to compose, he nonetheless wrote with remarkable speed and fluency, moving straight from one piece to another through most of his far-too-brief career. He completed nearly 1000 works before his death at age 31, including more than 600 songs for voice and piano. Perhaps because he usually wrote quickly, he also left behind dozens of fragments and unfinished pieces.

For example, Schubert’s popular “Unfinished” Symphony is not the only one he did not finish—there is another full symphony he left incomplete, as well as fragments of four others. Schubert composed this symphony quickly in the fall of 1822, fully orchestrating the first two movements and making a piano sketch of the third. He began to orchestrate the third-movement scherzo but only completed the first 20 bars. The following year, when Schubert received an honorary degree from the Styrian Music Society in Graz, he sent the manuscript for the first two movements as a thank you gift.

Unfortunately, Schubert’s friend, the composer Anselm Hüttenbrenner, who had been asked to deliver the piece to the music society, instead kept it in a drawer in his study for the next 42 years. After a chance remark from Hüttenbrenner tipped him off to the existence of the symphony, the conductor Johann von Herbeck persuaded Schubert’s old friend to let him borrow the score, and in December of 1865—37 years after the composer’s death—the two-movement symphony was premiered to critical acclaim. It has been Schubert’s most frequently performed orchestral work ever since.

Why didn’t Schubert finish the “Unfinished” Symphony? It may have been illness, since late in 1822 he contracted syphilis, which would eventually take his life. Some have speculated that he was reluctant to invite comparison to Beethoven, who was finishing his Ninth Symphony the same year. Perhaps Schubert was unsure how to sustain or follow the remarkable character of the first two movements, so unlike any of his previous symphonies. The most likely explanation might be the simplest: the 25-yearold composer might just have been too busy. He was also writing two different operas, the incidental music to the play Rosamunde, and the epic “Wanderer” fantasy for piano around the same time. As other musical ideas came to him and other deadlines loomed, the symphony may have just slipped to the back burner. Regardless of the reason, though, Schubert’s “Unfinished” Symphony holds a beloved place in the repertoire: two beautifully balanced movements, full of memorable tunes and dramatic episodes.

PROGRAM NOTES MOZART, Requiem in D minor, K. 626 In mid-1791, when he was working on The Magic Flute, Mozart was visited by a stranger who commissioned him to write a requiem. He offered Mozart a significant fee—half of it in advance—on the condition that it be anonymous. The secret patron behind the commission was Count Franz von Walsegg, who intended to pass off the work as his own composition in memory of his recently departed young wife. Toward the end of that year, after completing The Magic Flute and fulfilling a late commission for another opera, La Clemenza di Tito, Mozart was able to become fully engaged in writing his requiem. By that time, however, he was seriously ill and needed to dictate some of his composition to an assistant. His friend Benedikt Schack—the tenor who sang Tamino in The Magic Flute—relates that, on the afternoon before Mozart died, the composer had the unfinished manuscript of the Requiem brought to him in bed and sang through the vocal parts with several friends. Schack tells us that Mozart himself sang the alto part but got only as far as the Lacrimosa, at which point he broke into tears and put the score aside. He died during that night of December 5, age 36.

COMPLETING THE REQUIEM In the manuscript that Mozart left at his death, only the opening section, the Introit, was more or less complete. Beyond that, nine more sections were sketched; that is, the vocal solo and choral parts plus the orchestral bass line were filled in for the Kyrie through the Hostias, although the famously beautiful Lacrimosa broke off completely after only 8 bars. In these movements, there are just occasional hints at figuration for the orchestra.

Missing entirely were the final movements: Sanctus, Benedictus, Agnus Dei, Lux aeterna, and Cum Sanctis tuis. In order to receive the sizable fee for the commission, Mozart's widow Constanze needed to have the score secretly completed and presented as her husband's work. She first turned to Joseph Eybler, a composer and former student who had been well respected by Mozart. Eybler orchestrated some parts of the work but then declined to complete the task for reasons that we can only speculate about. Did he perhaps find it too daunting to work in Mozart's shadow, especially with some movements not even begun? After a couple of other musicians declined the task, Franz Xaver Süssmayr agreed to take it on. Süssmayr had been a family friend and a student of Mozart, but he was considerably less skilled as a composer than Eybler. In order to complete the Requiem, he had to finish the orchestration, extend the fragmentary Lacrimosa into a complete movement, and compose the missing Sanctus and Benedictus from scratch. For the closing Agnus Dei and Communion, he decided to adapt Mozart's own music from the beginning of the work, setting it with the appropriate text for the end of a requiem. Although Süssmayr's work has long been considered the standard completion of the work and is thus the one most frequently performed, it has been controversial for at least 200 years. His effort has frequently been criticized as being weak and un-Mozartean in many passages, for containing basic errors of musical grammar, and for being too thickly orchestrated for a Mozart work, with its extensive instrumental doubling of voice parts.

Nonetheless, it is the one version that comes not only from the 18th century but from Mozart's inner circle. It may, for all we know, incorporate some verbal instructions from the composer himself or original sketches that are now lost to us. Indeed, the sections that Süssmayr claimed to be his own (Sanctus and Benedictus) have often been considered too good to be his, considering the quality of his own original music, and are thus suspected of incorporating some of Mozart's instructions. Constanze recalled giving him a "few scraps of music," along with the unfinished manuscript, and her

PROGRAM NOTES sister, Sophie Haibel, claimed that, on the night before he died, Mozart had given Süssmayr directions as to how he wanted the work completed. But these were memories from several decades later, and it is impossible to know how accurate they were or even whether there may have been a wish to make the work more fully Mozart's. Nevertheless, they are additional reasons not to dismiss Süssmayr's work entirely, despite its problems.

THE LEVIN VERSION The repairs range from many small details to significant changes in the orchestration, as well as bold left turns in the harmony that have surprised those who know the Requiem in the traditional version. The orchestration, which is new in many places, is more transparent than Süssmayr's, errors in voice leading have been corrected, and awkward harmonic progressions have been made more Mozartean. The Hosanna fugue at the end of the Sanctus has been extended beyond Süssmayr's rather timid effort, giving it proportions more typical of Mozart. Perhaps the most striking new material in this version is the Amen fugue at the end of the Lacrimosa. With Mozart's manuscript breaking off before the end of that movement, Süssmayr brings it to a simple close with the word "Amen." However, in 1963, a sketch in Mozart's hand was discovered that had counterpoint for the opening bars of a fugue, material that appeared to have been meant for an Amen at the end of the movement. Levin has worked the fragment into a completed fugue which, unlike some earlier efforts, remains in a single key throughout, as did Mozart's fugues for similar endings. Perhaps Mozart himself may have done something along these lines, or he may instead have mixed the material with more modern, homophonic music, as he sometimes did in other works—or he might simply have discarded the sketch and ended the Lacrimosa without a fugue. Did Süssmayr mistakenly overlook the sketch, or, as Christoph Wolff has wondered, did he lack the confidence to write a full fugue in a Mozart work? Did Mozart himself decide to discard it? We will probably never know, but Levin has given us a possible way of listening to this movement as an extended piece. At the same time, we feel a tragic sense of loss as this fragment of music passes from the eighth to the ninth bar of the Lacrimosa dies illa ("On that day of tears"), where Mozart's manuscript abruptly breaks off and that of the completion takes over.
