Perspectives from the Executive Director

7Severance Hall 2013-14 7

January 2014

On behalf of every member of The Cleveland Orchestra family,

we welcome you to these fi rst concerts of 2014.

This month, Franz Welser-Möst and the Orchestra launch a multi-

year exploration of the music of Johannes Brahms. His symphonies

and major concertos will be performed here in Severance Hall as

well as on tour, and the repertoire will be recorded for worldwide

television broadcast and release on DVD. Franz and the Orchestra are working in part-

nership with acclaimed soloist Julia Fischer for the violin concerto and plans are being

made for Yefi m Bronfman to return next season for the two piano concertos.

Our focus on the music of Brahms follows closely on the heels of our exploration of

Bruckner symphonies recorded for television and DVD between 2006 and 2012. Those

recordings, together with live performances on three continents, have brought great

acclaim to the ongoing partnership between Franz and the Orchestra.

Among the highlights of the Brahms focus will be a series of concerts next September in

Austria pairing all four Brahms symphonies with works by Jörg Widmann, who was the

Orchestra’s Lewis Young Composer Fellow in 2009-11. Widmann’s Teufel Amor is being

given its American premiere performances this month at Severance Hall, January 16-18.

Last month saw the Annual Meeting of the Orchestra’s non-profi t governing organiza-

tion, the Musical Arts Association, and the news that in 2012/13 we balanced the bud-

get, grew the endowment, and developed a larger and younger audience. In covering

these year-end results, the Plain Dealer reported that “The Cleveland Orchestra is now

exactly where a thriving organization needs to be.”

Much of the credit for ongoing good news accrues to the leadership and generosity of

our Board of Trustees led by President Dennis W. LaBarre. I hope you will take a moment

to read Dennis’s Annual Report message on pages 25 and 26 of this book, in which he

details the success of the past year and looks ahead to the Orchestra’s Centennial.

The Cleveland Orchestra fi nished 2013 strongly with record-breaking ticket sales for

the Holiday Festival here at Severance Hall, and numerous expressions of support in the

form of year-end philanthropic gifts. Many thanks to each and every generous donor

who remembered the Orchestra as 2013 drew to a close. Our Annual Fund continues

through to the end of the Orchestra’s fi scal year on June 30, with an ambitious goal of

exceeding even last year’s all-time record. If you have not yet made your pledge, please

consider how you might help with a new or increased gift. Thank you.

I close with special congratulations and thanks to the Cleveland Foundation, which

marked its one-hundredth birthday on January 2. Created as the world’s fi rst community

foundation in 1914, this non-profi t philanthropic organization has helped bring focus and

funding toward an evolving set of common goals, including support for the many arts

groups that together create a vibrant cultural climate that each year enhances and ener-

gizes the quality of life here. Hats off to one-hundred years of commitment and success

in strengthening Northeast Ohio.

Gary Hanson

I N P E R F O R M A N C E S A T H O M E and around the globe, Th e Cleveland Orch-

The Cleveland Orchestra’s Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Concert, held this year

for the 34th time, fi lls the stage at Severance Hall with performers — featuring the volun-

teer Celebration Chorus assembled and prepared especially for this event each January.

for an intensive week of special activities and performances, as well as the broaden-

ing of the Orchestra’s ongoing education and community engagement initiatives to

include Make Music!, a program of active and participatory experience and learning;

the establishment of residencies around the world, fostering creative artistic

growth and an expanded fi nancial base — including ongoing residencies

at the Vienna Musik verein (the fi rst of its kind by an American orchestra)

and in Florida under the name Cleveland Orch estra Miami (featuring an

annual series of concerts and community activities, coupled with educational

presentations and collaborations based on successful programs pioneered at home

in Cleveland);

creative new artistic collaborations with arts institutions in Northeast Ohio,

including staged works, concerts, and chamber music performances;

a concentrated and successful eff ort to develop future generations of audiences

for Cleveland Orchestra concerts in Northeast Ohio, through research, targeted

discounts, social media promotion, and student ticket programs, with demonstrat-

ed results at Severance Hall and Blossom;

a variety of new concert off erings (including KeyBank Fridays@7 and Celebri-

ty Series at Severance Hall as well as movie, themed, and family presentations at

Blossom) to play more music for more people;

the return of ballet as a regular part of the Orchestra’s presentations, featuring on-

going collaborations with Chicago’s Joff rey Ballet;

continuing and expanded educational partnerships with schools, colleges, and

universities across Northeast Ohio and beyond;

concert tours from coast to coast in the United States, including regular appear-

ances at Carnegie Hall;

ongoing recording activities, including new releases under the direction of Franz

Welser-Möst, Mitsuko Uchida, and Pierre Boulez, as well as a series of acclaimed

DVD concert presentations of symphonies by Anton Bruckner led by Welser-Möst.

Th e Cleveland Orchestra was founded in 1918 by a group of local citizens intent

on creating an ensemble worthy of joining America’s ranks of major symphony or-

chestras. Over the ensuing decades, the Orchestra quickly grew from a fi ne regional

organization to being one of the most admired symphony orchestras in the world.

Th e opening in 1931 of Severance Hall as the Orchestra’s home brought a special

pride to the ensemble and its hometown, as well as providing an enviable and inti-

mate acoustic environment in which to develop and refi ne the Orchestra’s artistry.

Year-round performances became a reality in 1968 with the opening of Blossom Mu-

sic Center, one of the most beautiful and acoustically admired outdoor concert facili-

ties in the United States.

Franz Welser-Möst Music Director Kelvin Smith Family Endowed Chair The Cleveland Orchestra

T H E 2 01 3 -1 4 S E A S O N marks Franz Welser-Möst’s

twelft h year as music director of Th e Cleveland Or-

chestra, with a long-term commitment extending

to the Orchestra’s centennial in 2018. Under his di-

rection, the Orchestra is acclaimed for its continu-

ing artistic excellence, is extending and enhancing

its community programming at home in Northeast

Ohio, is presented in a series of ongoing residencies

in the United States and Europe, continues its his-

toric championship of new composers through com-

missions and premieres, and has re-established itself

as an important operatic ensemble. Concurrently with his post in Cleveland, Mr.

Welser-Möst is general music director of the Vienna State Opera.

With a committed focus on music education in Northeast Ohio, Franz

Welser-Möst has taken Th e Cleveland Orchestra back into public schools with per-

formances in collaboration with the Cleveland Metropolitan School District. Mr.

Welser-Möst’s championship of community music-making expands upon his active

participation in educational programs and collaborative programming, including

the Cleveland Orchestra Youth Orchestra and partnerships with music conservato-

ries, universities, and other arts institutions across Northeast Ohio.

Under Mr. Welser-Möst’s leadership, Th e Cleveland Orchestra has established

an ongoing biennial residency in Vienna at the famed Musikverein concert hall and

another at Switzerland’s Lucerne Festival. Together, they have appeared in residence

at Suntory Hall in Tokyo, Japan, and at the Salzburg Festival, where a 2008 residency

included fi ve sold-out performances of a staged production of Dvořák’s opera Rusalka.

In the United States, Mr. Welser-Möst has established an annual multi-week Cleveland

Orch estra residency in Florida under the name Cleveland Orchestra Miami and, in

2011, launched a regular new residency at New York’s Lincoln Center Festival.

Music Director

in Cleveland, re-establishing the Orchestra as an important oper-

atic ensemble. Following six seasons of opera-in-concert presen-

tations, he brought fully staged opera back to Severance Hall with

a three-season cycle of Zurich Opera productions of the Mozart-

Da Ponte operas. He led concert performances of Strauss’s Sa-

lome at Severance Hall and at Carnegie Hall in May 2012 and in

May 2014 brings an innovative made-for-Cleveland production of

Leoš Janáček’s Th e Cunning Little Vixen to Northeast Ohio.

Franz Welser-Möst became general music director of the

Vienna State Opera in 2010. His long partnership with the com-

pany has included acclaimed performances of Tristan and Isol-

de, a new production of Wagner’s Ring cycle with stage director

Sven-Eric Bechtolf, and critically praised new productions of Hindemith’s Cardillac

and Janáček’s Katya Kabanova and From the House of the Dead. During the 2013-

14 season, his Vienna schedule includes a new production of Puccini’s Th e Girl of

the Golden West, as well as performances of Tristan and Isolde, Verdi’s Don Carlo,

Beethoven’s Fidelio, and Richard Strauss’s Ariadne auf Naxos and Der Rosenkavalier.

Mr. Welser-Möst also maintains an ongoing relationship with the Vienna Phil-

harmonic. Recent performances with the Philharmonic include appearances in con-

cert at La Scala Milan, at New York’s Carnegie Hall, and in opera presentations at the

Salzburg Festival. He also led the Philharmonic’s New Year’s Day concert, viewed by

telecast in seventy countries worldwide in 2011 and again in 2013. Across a decade-

long tenure with the Zurich Opera, culminating in three seasons as general music di-

rector (2005-08), Mr. Welser-Möst led the company in more than 40 new productions.

Franz Welser-Möst’s recordings and videos have won major awards, including

the Gramophone Award, Diapason d’Or, Japanese Record Academy Award, and

two Grammy nominations. With Th e Cleveland Orchestra, he has created DVD re-

cordings of live performances of fi ve of Bruckner’s symphonies, presented in three

acoustically distinctive venues (the Abbey of St. Florian in Austria, Vienna’s Musik-

verein, and Severance Hall). With Cleveland, he has also released a recording of

Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony as well as an all-Wagner album featuring soprano

Measha Brueggergosman. DVD releases on the EMI label have included Mr. Wels-

er-Möst leading Zurich Opera productions of Th e Marriage of Figaro, Così fan tutte,

Don Giovanni, Der Rosenkavalier, Fierrabras, and Peter Grimes.

For his talents and dedication, Mr. Welser-Möst has received honors that

include recognition from the Western Law Center for Disability Rights, honor-

ary membership in the Vienna Singverein, appointment as an Academician of the

European Academy of Yuste, a Gold Medal from the Upper Austrian government

for his work as a cultural ambassador, a Decoration of Honor from the Republic of

Austria for his artistic achievements, and the Kilenyi Medal from the Bruckner So-

ciety of America. He is the co-author of Cadences: Observations and Conversations,

published in a German edition in 2007.

From the President

This message from Musical Arts Association president Dennis W. LaBarre is excerpted from

the Association’s recently published Annual Report. Here, Mr. LaBarre discusses the con-

tinuing progress that The Cleveland Orchestra is making in implementing changes for a

stronger future, as an institution devoted to the citizens of Northeast Ohio who created it

and have sustained it. The complete Annual Report can be read at clevelandorchestra.com

by clicking on “Publications” in the “News & Updates” section.

T H E C L E V E L A N D O R C H E S T R A’ S past year has been a

year of success and progress. We have reached the mid-point of

a ten-year plan and fundraising campaign to ensure the artistic

preeminence, institutional strength, and long-term fi nancial sta-

bility of The Cleveland Orchestra as we approach our centennial

anniversary in 2018.

With ongoing, thorough, and rigorous analysis of the challenges

facing the Orchestra, we are making great strides toward our future. Our objectives

include fully engaging and serving the community that supports us, building a

sound fi nancial foundation, strengthening the institutional fabric across all our

constituencies, and, above all, continuing to grow and excel artistically.

Under the leadership of Franz Welser-Möst, the Orchestra continues to produce

music of the highest artistic quality. Franz challenges the musicians with innova-

tive artistic programming, while engaging new corners of the community with new

styles of music, new venues, and new artforms. I am inspired by our musicians, who

have challenged themselves, too, to become evermore involved in educating and

engaging people of all ages. Emblematic of this dedication to the community’s mu-

sical enrichment was a special night of music in March 2013 featuring The Cleveland

Orchestra performing for the fi rst time with all of its youth ensembles. In May 2013,

the Orchestra launched its “Cleveland Orchestra At Home” neighborhood residency

program, partnering with organizations throughout the Gordon Square Arts District

to serve the community with a week of free public presentations, ensemble perfor-

mances, and education concerts, and culminating in a Cleveland Orchestra concert

in a neighborhood church. The Make Music! concert in March and the “At Home”

concert in May were both recorded and telecast on WVIZ/PBS ideastream, reaching

audience members throughout the region.

The Orchestra’s fi nancial outlook continues to improve. The Fiscal Year 2014 bud-

get projects another year of break-even results, as was achieved in Fiscal Year 2013.

Record-breaking ticket sales, including record numbers of young people, helped drive

operating revenue to the highest level in our history. Thousands of individual donors,

corporations, and foundations contributed over $10 million to the 2012-13 Annual

Fund — a record — which supported over 20% of the Orchestra’s operating costs.

For these achievements, we owe a debt of gratitude to all those who continue to

nurture the Orchestra’s advancements, from our volunteers and musicians to our

staff and trustees. I extend special thanks to our devoted and generous patrons

who make up the audiences of Severance Hall, Blossom, and venues far and wide,

From the President

Dennis W. LaBarrePresident

From the President

and who continue to support and demand the best from this Orchestra.

To build on these successes, and to begin our second century on a secure footing, we

must sustain our focus on artistic excellence. Simultaneously, we must continue evolv-

ing the ways in which we serve the community, while we establish a sound foundation

of fi nancial resources that allow us to do both to the best of our ability.

To accomplish these goals by 2018, we have undertaken the most ambitious fundrais-

ing campaign in our history — the Sound for the Centennial Campaign. The Orchestra’s

Endowment today covers just 15% of the Orchestra’s operating costs. The Endowment

must expand, through cash gifts and deferred commitments, to provide up to 30% of

the Orchestra’s annual operating budget. Until that is achieved, contributions to spe-

cial fundraising will couple with our robust, ongoing, and increasing Annual Fund to

balance the budget and maintain artistic and community programming as the Endow-

ment grows. We are making steady progress toward fi nancial stability thanks to the

generosity of thousands of individuals, corporations, and foundations.

The strength of this institution across all constituencies is essential to the successful

achievement of our artistic, fi nancial, and operating goals. I am greatly encouraged by

new and dynamic working partnerships among all members of the Orchestra family.

To further develop the collaboration between trustees and musicians, we plan to add

musicians to several Board committees.

This past year also saw the successful achievement of a mutually benefi cial long-term

operating agreement for The Cleveland Orchestra’s Miami residency, which began in

2007 as the fi rst annual adaptation of our residency programs from around the world.

This ongoing relationship with Miami is opening the Orchestra to new audiences of

music lovers while benefi ting the Miami community and contributing to the Orches-

tra’s overall artistic growth and fi nancial success.

Our focus must always be on tomorrow, toward a second century of changing lives

through the power of music. As we approach the Orchestra’s centennial anniversary,

we seek to build the youngest audience of any orchestra in the country. These young

people, with their families, make up the next generations of concertgoers and sup-

porters, helping to ensure the long-term success of this great institution.

As much as our centennial is about securing The Cleveland Orchestra’s future, and sus-

taining the artistic and institutional excellence we are known for worldwide, it is fi rst

and foremost about celebrating the community that has supported us through these

fi rst one hundred years. We are evolving partnerships with institutions throughout

Northeast Ohio. We are seeking new ways to engage and serve this community. We

are dedicating ourselves to becoming evermore relevant to our supporters, and to sus-

taining the practices that have made The Cleveland Orchestra an enduring symbol of

this community’s spirit and pride.

2013 European Festivals Tour draws praise for Welser-Möst, Cleveland Orchestra, and Chorus The following are excerpted from press commentary about the Orchestra’s per-

formances during its European Tour and Vienna Residency, November 8-22:

er-

“The handshakes from Franz Welser-Möst said it all. In acknowledging

the principals of the Cleveland Orchestra Friday night at Vienna’s Musik-

verein, the music director did what most in attendance probably wished

they could do themselves: personally thank the group for three superb

performances in a row. Not once in their concerts Wednesday through

Friday was it apparent that the group had been traveling abroad

nearly three weeks. No, here at the end of their 2013 European Tour,

the artists played with new focus and energy, and made sure Vienna

enjoyed the fruits of their long musical labor. The main thing appar-

ent, frankly, was that the orchestra had been playing Beethoven and

Shostakovich nonstop for weeks, and knew their six scores inside

and out. Here as nowhere else, the artists transcended the numer-

ous pages on their stands, and simply took advantage of the Musikverein’s leg-

endary acoustics. No less clear was that the audience recognized expertise, and liked what

it heard. . . . The response each night was hugely enthusiastic, giving Welser-Möst cause

to repeatedly acknowledge individual players and the ensemble as a whole. On Friday, he

even went so far as to jog into the bass section.”

—The Plain Dealer, November 23, 2013

“Franz Welser-Möst’s interpretations are anything but sober, yet clear

in their formal articulation. It is not the conceited omniscience of

someone who pretends to understand the world. His concerts reveal

an earth-bound assurance, free from spectacle, aff ectation, and senti-

mentality. He reads the score and interprets what’s there. Self-denial

in favor of the message of the artwork — this penchant for directness

is benefi cial, even if it is certainly not always successful. Franz Welser-

Möst has long been able to concentrate on works that really suit him,

working on pieces he likes to say are ‘close to his heart’.”

—Concerti, November 2013

“The second evening of their visit to Frankfurt started luxuriously:

The Cleveland Orchestra’s own chorus performed Beethoven’s Mass in

C major at the Alte Oper, joined of course by the orchestra itself from

Northeast Ohio, which was the focus of two concerts in the city. The

Cleveland Orchestra . . . juxtaposed works by Beethoven with the Sixth

and Tenth Symphonies by Dmitri Shostakovich. The symbiosis between the orchestra and

the chorus was unsurpassable. Under Austrian conductor Franz Welser-Möst, who has

been music director in the city on Lake Erie since 2002, Beethoven’s lyrical, literal setting

of the Latin Mass came across lean, subtle, and transparent, despite all the opulence in the

performing forces. The balance between singers and instrumentalists was perfect in the

soft and mild passages.” —Allgemeine Zeitung, November 12, 2013

Orchestra announces “At Home” neighborhood residency in Lakewood for May 2014

The Cleveland Orches-

tra and Lakewood have an-

nounced a new partnership

to present the Orchestra’s

next “At Home” neighborhood residency in

May 2014. The centerpiece of this week of ac-

tivities, education programs, and public per-

formances will be a free Cleveland Orchestra

concert at the Civic Auditorium in Lakewood

on Saturday evening, May 24. The concert

will be recorded for a delayed broadcast on

WVIZ/PBS ideastream, and a radio broadcast

on WCLV 104.9. The television broadcast will

also feature a segment about the Orchestra’s

performances, collaborations, and events in

Lakewood.

“ Creating a grassroots opportunity for

Lakewood to experience perhaps the greatest

orchestra in the world at a very personal level

is a cultural experience that we will remember

for years to come,” commented Lakewood

Mayor Michael P. Summers in announcing the

collaboration. “Our increasingly vibrant com-

mercial corridors and neighborhoods will be

made ever-more-so by the music and the musi-

cians.” Ian Andrews, executive director of Lake-

woodAlive, Lakewood’s nonprofi t economic

development organization, added, “Lakewood

is known for its commitment to the arts. The Or-

chestra’s events will strengthen this commitment

and showcase the city’s great quality of life, local

organizations, restaurants, schools, and business-

es that make our community special.”

The Cleveland Orchestra introduced its

“At Home” neighborhood residency program

in May 2013 with a week of performances and

activities in the Gordon Square community

of Cleveland. Events include free perfor-

mances by Orchestra musicians and educa-

tion programs for children, students, and

families. Details of The Cleveland Orchestra’s

Lakewood neighborhood residency will be

announced in March 2014, along with infor-

mation about acquiring tickets for the free

Cleveland Orchestra concerts.

LEARNING MORE ABOUT THE MUSIC

The Cleveland Orchestra off ers a vari-

ety of options for learning more about

the music before each concert begins.

For each concert, the program book

includes program notes commenting

on and providing background about

the composer and his or her work

being performed that week, along

with biographies of the guest artists

and other information. You can read

these before the concert, at intermis-

sion, or afterward. (Program notes

are also posted ahead of time online

at clevelandorchestra.com, usually by

the Monday directly preceding the

concert.)

The Orchestra’s Music Study

Groups also provide a way of explor-

ing the music in more depth. These

classes, professionally led by Dr. Rose

Breckenridge, meet weekly in locations

around Cleveland to explore the music

being played each week and the sto-

ries behind the composers’ lives.

Free Concert Previews are pre-

sented one hour before most subscrip-

tion concerts throughout the season

at Severance Hall. The previews (see

listing at right) feature a variety of

speakers and guest artists speaking

or conversing about that weekend’s

program, and often include the op-

portunity for audience members to ask

questions.

ancholy is too oft en and too easily embraced, while the full depth

and breadth of his musical creations is equally too oft en forgotten

and ignored. His glowing or-

chestral symphonies are, in fact,

fi lled with colors from across

the emotional spectrum. And,

if Brahms’s own curmudgeonly

personality did tend to drive his

music toward the bittersweet (not

forgetting his fondness for play-

ing practical jokes on friends and

an intense interest in puns), his

moments of happiest musicmak-

ing are undeniably irresistible.

With this week’s con-

certs, Franz Welser-Möst and

Th e Cleveland Orchestra begin a multi-year exploration of some of

Brahms’s great orchestral scores — starting this weekend with two

symphonies (one sunny, one darker), the violin concerto, and a pair

of contrasting overtures (one comical, one more tragic). Violin-

ist Julia Fischer serves as soloist in the concerto, a microcosm of the

composer’s lyrical musical language, fi lled with soaring melody and

rapturous harmonies, searingly infused with poignant reveries and

sunny outbursts.

Th e Orchestra’s Brahms project will also include a series of re-

cordings for future worldwide television broadcast and DVD

release. Th e recordings begin this week, with Th ursday and Friday

night’s concerts, working again with our partners WVIZ/idea stream

and Clasart.

Let us enjoy the warmth of Brahms’s creations in the midst of

the cold nights this winter is serving us. —Eric Sellen

39Severance Hall 2013-14 About the Music

B R A H M S never attended a university, but in the summer of

1853, when he was twenty, he spent a month with his new friend

Joseph Joachim, who was enrolled at the University of Göttin-

gen for the summer session. Th ey joined a club known as the

Saxonia Corps, which met every Tuesday and Saturday at a local

bar. Here they sat in a cramped room drinking beer, smoking

cigars and pipes, and singing jolly German student songs like

“Mein Lebenslauf ist Lieb’ und Lust” [“My Character is Love and

Joy”] and “Ach, du liebe Augustin” [“Oh, Your Dear Augustin”].

Brahms and Joachim would perform their party trick, the “fox-

ride,” galumphing noisily around a table astride a chair.

In 1879, twenty-six years later, a now world-famous Brahms

received an honorary doctorate from the University of Breslau

(now Wrocław in Poland) and in response he composed the

Academic Festival Overture, full of reminiscences of student

songs. Th e director of music at the University was Bernhard

Scholz, who had been a friend of both Brahms and Joachim for

a number of years. Th e three of them had signed the famous

manifesto in 1860 in protest against the view that the New

German School (i.e. the ideas of Richard Wagner) represented

the leadership of German music. In the long run, the protest

probably did more harm than good, since Brahms normally

preferred to stand aloof from partisan debates of this kind.

Scholz asked him to compose a “doctoral symphony” as

a thank you to the university, adding “we expect a Festal Ode

at the very least.” Working during his summer vacation, as he

always liked to do, at Bad Ischl, a popular Austrian spa, Brahms

instead off ered Scholz an overture. And, in fact, he wrote two

overtures, one aft er the other, neatly balanced in character and

eff ect. Th e two were performed for the fi rst time in December

1880 in Vienna (Tragic) and January 1881 (Academic Festival),

in Breslau in the marvelously ornate baroque university hall,

the Aula Leopoldina, which still stands in the city of Wrocław.

Brahms. Th e Tragic Overture is not a gloomy work, but it clearly carries

the weighty burden of tragedy in its minor key and somber themes — and

great warmth too. Th e variety of material is remarkable, even including

an episode where the tempo slows down and the oboes perform a stately

old-fashioned dance, soon treated to discussion as if it were a point of ob-

scure philosophical debate. Brahms was always at his best when display-

ing a serious frown, as so oft en in his symphonies and chamber music.

On the other hand, the Academic Festival Overture is wonderful pre-

cisely because it shows the composer in a genuinely smiling mood, rare in

his instrumental music (though oft en found in his songs). He called it his

“Janissary” overture because of the percussion (thought to be of Turkish

origin) he so rarely used elsewhere, but which here gives a truly popular

fl avor to the hearty songs, especially the noisy “Gaudeamus igitur” at the

end. He also calls for a contrabassoon so that the bassoons can form a

clownish trio as if the whole thing is to be taken with a nudge and a wink.

If the mood of the Academic Festival Overture is light-hearted, its work-

manship, as always with Brahms, is exemplary, which is only fi tting for

a work with the word “academic” in its title.

About the Music

Brahms composed his Akademische Fest-Ouver-

ture in the summer of 1880 at Bad Ischl and con-

ducted the fi rst performance on January 4, 1881, at

the University of Bres lau (now Wrocław, Poland).

The United States premiere, conducted by Theodore

Thomas, took place in Chicago on August 18, 1881.

This overture runs about 10 minutes in per-

formance. Brahms scored it for piccolo, 2 fl utes, 2

oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, contrabassoon, 4

horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, per-

cussion (bass drum, cymbals, triangle), and strings.

This Overture entered the repertoire of The

Cleveland Orchestra in November 1924, at a pair

of subscription concerts at Masonic Auditorium

conducted by Nikolai Sokoloff .

43Severance Hall 2013-14 About the Music

B R A H M S was a formidable pianist, but he would never have

wanted to be identifi ed with the armies of piano virtuosos who

toured Europe and composed fl ashy variations and fantasias

on tunes from Rossini and Verdi operas. His two piano con-

certos are stern and serious works, and when it came to writ-

ing a violin concerto his model was unquestionably going to be

Beethoven, not Paganini or Vieuxtemps. He made that doubly

plain by choosing Beethoven’s key, D major, and by following

Beethoven’s precedent with a long, lyrical fi rst movement in

full classical sonata form.

Perhaps we should be surprised that he composed a violin

concerto at all. Joseph Joachim, for whom it was written, was

the fi rst important musician he met when he left his Hamburg

home at the age of twenty to seek fame and fortune. Joachim,

almost the same age, was already an international star at that

time, and the two struck up a fi rm friendship that lasted across

more than four decades. For nearly twenty of those forty years,

Joachim implored Brahms to write him a concerto, yet Brahms

hesitated, no doubt thinking that it was more important to em-

bark on the dangerous course of writing symphonies before he

attempted a concerto for an instrument he didn’t play. Eventu-

ally, in 1878, soon aft er the successful premiere of his Second

Symphony, Brahms devoted a summer holiday in the Austrian

Alps to composing the longed-for concerto.

Th e composer worked closely with Joachim in fashioning

the solo part; he clearly intended the concerto to be a test of

the player’s technique and musicianship and to be free of any

suspicion of unmotivated display. Display itself is, of course,

perfectly legitimate, in fact desirable, in a concerto, so it remains

for us only to judge whether the soloist’s leaps, arpeggios, double

stops, and passage-work are intrinsic to the work or not. Th e

earliest critics were in some doubt, although the violin writing

now strikes us as a model of good taste and sensitive musician-

ship. Others, such as the great Spanish virtuoso Sarasate, felt

it had no tunes. “Would I stand there,” he said, “violin in hand,

while the oboe plays the only melody in the whole work?”

Th e concerto was fi rst performed in Leipzig on New Year’s

Day 1879 by Joachim, the dedicatee, who composed the ca-

denza that is still normally played today. Never fond of waste,

Violin Concerto in D major, Opus 77composed 1878




Brahms presents his fi rst movement’s main theme as a bare

unison at the very start of the work, based on a D major triad.

Eight measures later, the oboe off ers something nearer to a

scale; eight bars further on, the full orchestra dwells on leaping

octaves. Gradually the thematic material fi nds its place, some

presented by the orchestra, more provided by the soloist aft er

fl exing his or her muscles (forty-some measures of, yes, display).

Eventually, we reach a gloriously lyrical second subject, which

seems to express the very soul of the violin. Th e fi nest moment

is reserved for the coda (aft er the solo cadenza), when, follow-

ing a sly reference to the Beethoven concerto, the soloist soars

higher and higher in dreamy fl ight before a fi nal resumption

of the main tempo.

Th e slow movement, in F major, opens with a long, beau-

tiful theme for the oboe with wind accompaniment. When the

soloist takes it up, the strings accompany — and the textures and

harmonies become gradually more adventurous, only brought

back to earth for the return of the main theme and the main key.

Th e third-movement fi nale’s boisterous lilt is a tribute to

Joachim’s Hungarian birth. But, as in Joachim himself, who

never returned to Hungary or sympathized with its national-

ist movements, other themes of quite un-Hungarian character

intervene, including a dynamic rising scale in octaves and a

beautifully lyrical episode where the meter changes briefl y from

a stamping 2/4 to a gentle 3/4. Th e fi nal switch to a 6/8 pulse

with heavy off -beats is one of Brahms’s stranger (yet still beau-

tiful) inventions, and the dying decline of the last few measures

is stranger still.

Julia FischerGerman violinist Julia Fischer is praised for her technical

mastery and illuminating interpretations. She made her

Cleveland Orchestra debut in July 2008, and her most recent

performances here were in May 2011.

Born in Munich in 1983 to a pianist mother from

Slovakia and a mathematician father from Germany, Julia

Fischer began playing piano at age three and violin at age

four. Aft er taking violin lessons at the Leopold Mozart Con-

servatory, she was admitted to the Munich Academy of Mu-

sic at age nine, and became a pupil of Ana Chumachenco.

Th roughout her career as a violinist, Ms. Fischer has contin-

ued her piano studies.

Julia Fischer’s honors have included fi rst prize in the 1995 International

Yehudi Menuhin Competition, Germany’s 2005 and 2007 Echo Awards, and

France’s Diapason d’Or de l’année in 2006. She was named BBC Music Magazine’s

2006 Best Newcomer of the Year, Gramophone’s 2007 Artist of the Year, and the

2009 Midem Classical Awards’ Instrumentalist of the Year.

Ms. Fischer’s recent and upcoming performances include tours with the

About the Music

I T I S U S U A L LY S A I D of Brahms that he delayed composing a

symphony until aft er he was forty out of respect for Beethoven’s

great set of nine — and from a fear of being found wanting in

comparison with his mighty predecessor. Th ere is much truth

in this. Indeed, Brahms acknowledged it himself.

Brahms’s rapid rise, at the age of twenty, into the circle

of leading composers was set in motion by Robert Schumann,

who declared publicly that Brahms was destined for a great

future in the pedigree of German music. In the company of

Schumann and his wife Clara, Brahms had played almost ex-

clusively chamber music — which for them represented the real

Beethoven legacy, especially the violin sonatas and late quartets,

with the unspoken understanding that the Ninth Symphony

was not necessarily the center of the Beethoven universe. Not

coincidentally, at the same time, the Ninth (and its “Ode to Joy”)

was being elevated by Liszt and Wagner and their followers as a

pointer to a future in symphonic poem and music drama, two

territories in which Brahms never set foot.

When he fi nally resolved to write a symphony, Brahms

had Schumann’s symphonies sounding in his ears as strongly as

Beethoven’s — which is why a similarity can be heard between

the opening of Schumann’s Fourth and the wide-spread octave

with which Brahms began his First. When we reach the fi nale

of Brahms’s First, though, we do unmistakably encounter an

echo of the choral fi nale of Beethoven’s Ninth. “Any fool can

see that,” was Brahms’s dismissive comment.

Once he had given one symphony to the world, it was

easier for Brahms to embark on its successors. Th e rest fol-

lowed more rapidly, within nine years. Th e Second followed

very soon aft er the First, and the Fourth appeared within two

years of the Th ird.

Self-critical to the point where he destroyed an unknown

number of works that did not satisfy his exacting standards,

Brahms always regarded symphonic writing as a tough propo-


sition, to the point where we should be thankful that he gave

us as many as four — and always grateful for the opportunity

to hear each of them.

B R A H M S ’ S F I R S T S Y M P H O N Y, long awaited, was fi rst per-

formed in the city of Karlsruhe in November 1876. Th e com-

poser was anxious to test it in one of the less prominent cities

of Germany before allowing performances in Vienna or Leipzig

or Berlin. Such was its success, however, that performances

quickly followed in all major cities, at home and abroad.

Happily, his admirers did not have to wait long for the

Second Symphony. Th e success of the First and the choice of a

perfect spot for his summer vacation worked the miracle and

produced the new work the very next year, 1877.

Since 1864, there had been a railroad connection from

Vienna to Lake Wörth in the very southernmost part of Aus-

tria, so that the capital’s well-to-do began to spend their sum-

mers there. Like Mahler a few years later, Brahms liked to

compose during his holidays, and in the village of Pörtschach

on the lake’s northern shore he found a haven: “It is delightful

here,” he wrote, “I will never again spend the summer far from

the Prater [Vienna’s main street].” Many a great work was to

emerge from those summer retreats amid Alpine lakes and

mountains, including the Violin Concerto the following year.

(Mahler too, who built a villa at Maiernigg just across the lake

from Pörtschach, found inspiration in those surroundings.)

Th e Second Symphony was speedily composed during

the summer of 1877, and this time Brahms had no hesitation

in off ering it fi rst to a Viennese audience. Th ey heard it on De-

cember 30 that year, and like its predecessor it was soon taken

up by all the great orchestras of the world. Th ere are dark pas-

sages and no lack of tension, but on the whole this is a sunny

work, full of light and vivacity, and it always leaves listeners in

a state of happy elation.

Th is impression is most strongly conveyed by the charming

third movement, which can make the intricacies and tensions of

the fi rst two movements fade away in memory, and even make

audiences overlook the technical skill of the brilliant fi nale,

which sweeps everything before it. For the third movement is

a kind of intermezzo, in which a gentle folksy theme is treated

as a rondo (with a principal theme alternating with a contrast-

ing section), interrupted by two equally charming episodes.

Th e fi rst is a fairylike transformation of the initial theme, speeded up;

the second is a scherzo-like dance full of cross-accents and chattering

exchanges between winds and strings. Brahms’s debt is here more to

Mendelssohn and Schumann than to Beethoven.

Is there a darker spirit elsewhere at work? Within a few bars of the

opening of the fi rst movement the trombones are to be heard lurking in

the shadows, and later on, in the development, those hints turn into real

threats when the trombones show their teeth in overlapping, grinding

entries. As if in remorse, the trombones play a soothing role in the slow

movement, while Brahms explores a constant counterpoint, with at least

two themes always to be heard at the same time. Th e contrast with the

plain tunefulness of the third movement is all the more striking.

If the trombones are a sinister force in the fi rst two movements, they

step proudly forward in the last movement, and they close the symphony

with the most thrilling D-major triad in all symphonic music. Th e cellos

similarly have a leading role, with an especially ravishing melody (sup-

ported by the violas) as the second subject of the fi rst movement, and an

important expressive line in the slow movement. Meanwhile the fi rst

horn would never let us overlook its superbly shaped solo in the coda of

the fi rst movement, which is followed by the fi rst violins indulging their

About the Music


taste for broad melody on their lower strings — as if this was the

point towards which the entire edifi ce of the fi rst movement had

been leading. In Brahms, there are always great moments like

that. If we get too excited by one, however, we risk overlooking

the next. Eagerness mixed with quiet patience rewards the alert

of his life, one might imagine something gloriously mellow,

like the late clarinet music or the Four Serious Songs. But that

is not the direction in which the Fourth Symphony pointed.

In its own context, it is the least comfortable of Brahms’s four

symphonies, in terms of musical language and sonority. Be-

ing familiar and frequently heard in our own time, it rarely

causes the wince of doubt that beset its original hearers. (We

fi nd it hard to imagine, similarly, that such a beautiful work

as the Violin Concerto struck some of its original hearers as

uncouth, but . . . history tells us otherwise.)

Th ere is a higher level of dissonance and tension in the

Fourth Symphony than in most of Brahms’s music, but as al-

ways with this composer, it is perfectly judged — and balanced

by faultless craft smanship and an abundant melodic gift . Th e

symphony was fi rst performed in Meiningen, a small town

in central Germany that was briefl y of great importance in

the musical world thanks to the leadership of musicians like

Hans von Bülow and Richard Strauss, who strongly encour-

aged Brahms and persuaded him in 1885 to grant them the

fi rst performance of his latest symphony. Home audiences in

Vienna could be fi ckle, especially as Wagner-mania was sweep-

ing across Europe.

As usual, Brahms shows little interest in the more color-

ful instruments that most composers were delighting in at that

time — no english horn, no bass clarinet, no tuba, no harp.

Th ough he asks for a contrabassoon in the last two movements

to enrich the bass, and a piccolo for the third-movement scher-

zo, where he ventures into the percussion section with a very

un-Brahmsian triangle. And, although he clung to the old-

fashioned hand-horns, not the valved variety then in universal

use, he wrote for the horns with infi nite mastery, as both the

slow movement and the scherzo bear witness.

In general outline, Brahms does not deviate from his

classical inheritance — a broad, substantial fi rst movement, a

Brahms wrote his Fourth

Symphony in Mürzzuschlag

(Styria, Austria) during

the summers of 1884 and

1885. He conducted the fi rst

performance on October 25,

1885, in Meiningen, Germa-

ny, where Hans von Bülow

was the music director. The

United States premiere

took place on December 11,

1886, with Walter Damrosch

conducting the New York

Symphony.

This symphony runs

about 40 minutes in per-

formance. Brahms scored

it for 2 fl utes (one doubling

piccolo), 2 oboes, 2 clarinets,

2 bassoons, contrabassoon,

4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trom-

bones, timpani, triangle, and

strings. (Piccolo and triangle

appear in the third move-

ment only, contrabassoon in

the third and fourth move-

ments only, and trombones

only in the fi nale.)


fi rst performed the Brahms

Fourth in April 1925, led by

music director Nikolai Soko-

loff . It has been presented by

the Orchestra with relative

frequency since then, most

recently at Severance Hall in

April 2011 under the baton of

Kurt Masur.

Brahms wrote his Second

Symphony soon after com-

pleting his First, composing

it during the summer of 1877

while staying at an idyllic

get-away in southern Aus-

tria. It was fi rst performed

on December 30, 1877, by the

Vienna Philharmonic led by

Hans Richter.

This symphony runs

about 45 minutes in perfor-

mance. Brahms scored it for

2 fl utes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets,

2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trum-

pets, 3 trombones, tuba,

timpani, and strings.

ond Symphony in December

lyrical slow movement, a jocular scherzo, and a strong, asser-

tive fi nale. Aft er the First Symphony, whose opening Allegro is

preceded by a slow introduction like a number of Beethoven’s

symphonies (and Schumann’s Fourth), Brahms’s remaining

symphonies adopt the maxim he always preferred — state

your fi rst theme clearly and fi rmly at the very outset. In this

case, the graceful opening theme, with its drooping thirds, is

woven into the texture of the whole movement. His writing

for strings had never been so rich as here. Th e main contrast

in this movement is rhythmic, for triplet fi gures keep intrud-

ing. At the end of the movement, however, the powerful drive

of the original four-four pulse is unstoppable.

A pair of horns declare the slow movement opening with

a misleadingly forceful gesture. For this is the tenderest of slow

movements, rich in complex harmony and smooth melody. Th e

clarinet is especially favored, and the second subject (fi rst heard

in the cellos) is one of Brahms’s greatest inspirations, intensi-

fi ed each time it comes back.

Th e scherzo brings out the hearty hill-walker in Brahms,

and the triangle signals a breeziness that we rarely fi nd in his

music. Th e slower middle section is all too brief, as if Brahms

was in a hurry to get back to his vigorous exercise, energetic

enough to wonder what kind of fi nale could be suffi ciently dif-

ferent to follow it.

Here, for the last movement, Brahms broke with con-

vention and composed a passacaglia (although he did not call

it that), a baroque form grandly exhibited by Bach in which a

short harmonic sequence is many times repeated in elaborate

variation. Th is is the moment the trombones have been waiting

for (a discipline they learned from Beethoven’s Fift h), and they

lay down the eight fi rm chords that defi ne the sequence. Th e

problem for Brahms was (as it was for Bach, too) not to seem to

be stuck in the home key. His eight-bar outline is heard thirty

times in wonderfully inventive variation, but it escapes from

E minor only to taste, briefl y, the nectar of E major following

a desolate fl ute solo. Th e return to E minor sounds like a re-

capitulation of the beginning, with strong wind chords, but it

simply heralds a stirring continuation of the variations, until,

following one tremendous sequence aft er another, the sym-

phony, in Sir Donald Tovey’s memorable words, “storms to its

tragic close.”—Hugh Macdonald © 2014

Student attendance continuesto grow at Severance Hall

As Th e Cleveland Orchestra’s 2013-14 season has gotten underway, more Stu-

dent Advantage Members, Frequent Fan Card holders, Student Ambassadors,

and student groups are contributing to the continued success of these programs.

Th e Orchestra’s ongoing Student Advantage Program provides opportu-

nities for students to attend concerts at Severance Hall and Blossom through

discounted ticket off ers. Membership is free to join and rewards members

with discounted ticket purchases. For this season, a record 6,000 students

have joined.

Th e Student Frequent Fan Card was introduced a year ago with great suc-

cess. Th e program is continuing to grow, with the number of Frequent Fan

Card holders tripling so far this season over 2012-13. Priced at $50, the Fan

Card off ers students unlimited single tickets (one ticket per card holder) to

weekly classical subscription concerts all season long.

Th e Student Ambassador program is also growing. Th ese young volun-

teers help to promote the Orchestra’s concert off erings and student programs

directly on campuses across Northeast Ohio.

Also this year, a group of Student Marketing Advisors was formed to help

the Orchestra incorporate student feedback and insight to programs, and give

local marketing majors a chance to work closely with the Orchestra’s sales team.

In addition, attendance through Student Group sales are also bringing in

more and more young people to Cleveland Orchestra concerts. From as far as

Toronto and Nashville, these groups make up an integral part of the overall suc-

cess toward generating participation and interest among young people.

All of these programs are supported by Th e Cleveland Orchestra’s Center

for Future Audiences, through the Alexander and Sarah Cutler Fund for Student

Audiences. Th e Center for Future Audiences was created with a $20 million lead

endowment gift from the Maltz Family Foundation to develop new generations

of audiences for Cleveland Orchestra concerts in Northeast Ohio.

A NEW PRODUCTION FEATURING PROJECTED ANIMATION AND LIVE ACTION, SUNG IN CZECH WITH ENGLISH SUPERTITLES

THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA conducted by Franz Welser-Möst

Don’t miss this unique, made-for-Cleveland opera presentation! Staged at Severance Hall

with an international cast and innovative, original animated projections. While plumbing the

depths of human experience, The Cunning Little Vixen tells a charmingly bittersweet tale

of love, peril, freedom, and family. The opera’s title character, portrayed by Czech

soprano Martina Janková, wends her way through life’s cycles of learning and

danger, love and happiness. Janáček’s score mixes lyrical symphonic writing

with the songful serenity and energetic pulse of Moravian folk music.

This Cleveland Orchestra opera presentation

is supported in part by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation

and by the National Endowment for the Arts

The Cleveland Orchestra’s catalog of recordings

continues to grow. The newest DVD features Bruckner’s

Fourth Symphony recorded live in the Abbey of St. Flo-

rian in Austria under the direction of Music Director Franz

Welser-Möst in 2012 and released in May 2013.

“A great orchestra, a Bruckner expert. . . . Five

out of fi ve stars,” declared Austria’s Kurier

newspaper. Released in 2012, Dvořák’s opera

Rusalka on CD, recorded live at the Salzburg

Festival, elicited the reviewer for London’s

Sunday Times to praise the perform ance as

“the most spellbinding account of Dvořák’s

miraculous score I have ever heard, either in the the-

atre or on record. . . . I doubt this music can be better

played than by the Clevelanders, the most ‘European’

of the American orchestras, with wind and brass solo-

ists to die for and a string sound of superlative

warmth and sensitivity.” Other recordings

released in recent years include two under the

baton of Pierre Boulez and a third album of

Mozart piano concertos with Mitsuko Uchida,

whose fi rst Cleveland Orchestra Mozart album

won a Grammy Award in 2011.

the latest and best Cleveland Orchestra

recordings and DVDs.

H A I L E D A S O N E O F the world’s most

beautiful concert halls, Severance Hall

has been home to Th e Cleveland Or-

chestra since its opening on February 5,

1931. Aft er that fi rst concert, a Cleve-

land newspaper editorial stated: “We

believe that Mr. Severance intended

to build a temple to music, and not a

temple to wealth; and we believe it is his

intention that all music lovers should be

welcome there.” John Long Severance

(president of the Musical Arts Associa-

tion, 1921-1936) and his wife, Elisabeth,

donated most of the funds necessary to

erect this magnifi cent building. De-

signed by Walker & Weeks, its elegant

Georgian exterior was constructed to

harmonize with the classical architec-

ture of other prominent buildings in

the University Circle area. Th e interior

of the building refl ects a combination

of design styles, including Art Deco,

Egyptian Revival, Classicism, and Mod-

ernism. An extensive renovation, resto-

ration, and expansion of the facility was

completed in January 2000. In addition

to serving as the home of Th e Cleveland

Orchestra for concerts and rehearsals,

the building is rented by a wide variety

of local organizations and private citi-

zens for performances, meetings, and

gala events each year.

Celebrated as one of today’s foremost vio-

one of the most versatile artists of his genera-

tion, uniting his talents as soloist, conductor

and chamber musician. At Severance Hall,

he performs and conducts a delightful and

varied program, from a vibrant violin concerto

by Mozart to Mendelssohn’s warm and sunny

“Italian” Symphony. And, to close, Elgar’s mas-

terful Enigma Variations, depicting in music

the composer’s friends and family — their char-

acteristics and foibles, their personalities and

passions.
