FROM THE STAGEThomas Jstlein, associate principal horn, on Bernard Labadie and Mozart: Im so
thrilled that the Symphony recognizes certain conductors that have an afnitywith Mozarts music. With Bernard Labadie there is a sense of discovery, afreshness of exploration, a kind of childlike expectancy to the music.
For me, playing Mozart is akin to playing jazzopen to improvisationin terms of colors, and in terms of phrasing, especially in relationship todifferent sections of the orchestra. Labadie gives license to musiciansimprovisations of color. He does not impose his will. He wants us to havethis open sense of wonder, of exploration.

This weeks concerts by the St. Louis Symphony
are devoted entirely to the music of WolfgangAmadeus Mozart. None of the extrinsic reasonsthat often are used to justify such programspertain in this case. Mozarts birthday passed byin January. There is no popular drama or lm,likeAmadeus, offering a convenient tie-in. 2013is not a major anniversary year, as were 2006(the composers 250th birthday) and 1991 (thebicentenary of his death).
Yet, and at the risk of stating the obvious,such supercial excuses for performing Mozartsmusic are hardly necessary. The intrinsic virtuesof his compositions are more than enoughto command our attention. Those virtues aremostly self-evident and have been often noted:formal elegance, supremely graceful melodiclines, endlessly ingenious invention within
a well-established harmonic vocabulary andcompositional genres.But as the pieces we hear now remind us,
perhaps the most extraordinary thing aboutMozarts music is the seeming paradox of itsineffable sweetness and its profundity. Hardlyany music falls so pleasingly on the ear as doesMozarts. At the same time, his greatest worksintimate deep truths about human existenceour
experience of both joy and sorrow, our strugglesand moments of spiritual serenity. In view of this,the wonder is not that we continue to performand hear Mozarts music as much as we do, butthat we might ever imagine going long without it.

WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZARTSymphony No. 33 in B-fat major, K. 319
MOZARTS PASTORAL SYMPHONY Theautograph score of Mozarts Symphony in B-at
major, K. 319, bears an inscription stating thatit was composed in Salzburg in July 1779. Weknow nothing else of the origin of this workunder what circumstances or for what occasionit might have been writtenexcept that it initiallyhad only three movements. The composeradded the minuet some years later, probablyin 1785. It would be difcult to imagine asymphonic composition of more uniformlybright countenance. Georges de Saint-Foix, thepioneering scholar of Mozarts symphonies,must have had the works cheerful aspect inmind when he suggested that one could almostdescribe it as [Mozarts] Pastoral Symphony.Certainly this music gives practically no hint ofthe tragic current in Mozarts art, a strain we willencounter during the second half of our concert.
Mozart establishes the prevailing tone of thesymphony at the outset. The rst movementstriple-pulse meter and buoyant melodies imparta carefree, almost insouciant air. Mozart musthave been in high spirits as he wrote it. Thedevelopment passage that forms the movementscentral paragraph does not, in fact, develop thematerials already set forth. Rather, it introducesnew thematic ideas, one of which will be instantly
familiar to listeners acquainted with Mozartsmature symphonic output; for the second phraseof this section introduces the Jupiter motif,the four-note gure that Mozart would treat sobrilliantly, and at far greater length, in the naleof his last symphony.
Mozart bases the second movement on a pair of contrasting themes.The rst proceeds leisurely and is broadly harmonized, whereas the second,
beginning in the minor mode, has about it a rather operatic character.There follows the minuet, the movement that Mozart interpolated into thesymphonys original design.
The nale gives us Mozart at his most lively, each of the three themesannounced during its initial section contributing to a general feeling of gaiety.The rst subject juxtaposes bustling repeated-note gures and a skippingmelody. The second, marked by its laughing grace notes, is very much inthe spirit of comic opera, whereas the third, begun by the oboes, suggests ahumorous rusticity.

WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZARTClarinet Concerto in A major, K. 622
LORDLY SOUNDS Mozart had a deep affection forthe sound of the clarinet. In 1778, while visiting
the city of Mannheim, which had perhaps thenest orchestra in Europe, he wrote to his fatherback in Salzburg: Oh, if only we had clarinets. Youcant guess the lordly effect of a symphony with ...clarinets. As the frustrated tone of this passagesuggests, clarinets still were not widely available,and it was some time before the composer couldbegin creating such lordly effects himself.Apart from the exceptional Paris Symphony,K. 297, clarinets rst appeared in his orchestralwriting in 1783, with the revised scoring of theHaffner Symphony, K. 385, and reappeared inthe Masonic Funeral Music, K. 477, and the PianoConcerto in E-at, K. 482, composed two yearslater. Thereafter, they formed a regular, if notinevitable, part of his orchestra.
Mozart did not limit his use of the clarinet
to orchestral duties, however. After 1785, hebegan to explore the instruments potentialfor assuming a more featured role in worksranging from chamber pieces to prominentaccompaniment parts in opera arias. This moreextensive exploration of the clarinets capabilitiesculminated in a concerto for the instrument,K. 622, completed only weeks before thecomposers death. It was the last concerto of any
kind Mozart composed, and it differs noticeablyfrom his earlier works of this sort. Instead of theextroverted tone and delight in virtuosity thatmark his violin and piano concertos, Mozarthere gives us music of grace, tenderness, andintimacy. Some commentators have also detectedan autumnal sadness beneath its bright surface,particularly in the central slow movement.
MUSIC FOR A FRIEND Mozart created theClarinet Concerto for his friend and Masonicbrother Anton Stadler. Stadler apparently was asuperb clarinetist, for Mozart wrote for him notonly the present concerto but also the ClarinetQuintet, K. 581, and perhaps the Clarinet Trio,K. 498. Moreover, Stadler was active in thetechnical development of the clarinet, which

was in his day a fairly new instrument. Among other things, he had built anexperimental clarinet with an extended range somewhat below that of thestandard instrument, and it was for this that Mozart composed his concerto.But because Stadlers altered instrument never came into widespread use, themusic was printed in a revised version that accommodates the slightly smaller
range of the standard clarinet.The work unfolds in Mozarts standard concerto format of three
movements. The music requires little comment. The opening Allegro seemsmore relaxed than the tempo indication usually implies, with music impressivefor its eloquence rather than its athleticism. The central slow movement isexceptional in its quiet ardor, whereas the concluding rondo proves spiritedbut not unduly exuberant.

A MOZARTIAN MYSTERY In the summer of 1788,during the course of about six weeks, WolfgangAmadeus Mozart completed three extraordinarysymphonies. Nothing in the composersbiography has provoked more speculation and
debate than the origin of this late symphonictrilogy. It was unusual for Mozart to createsubstantial works such as these three ambitiousand beautifully wrought symphonies withouthaving a certain, or at least probable, opportunityfor their performance, but no such justicationwas discovered by his early biographers. Theunexplained appearance of what proved to bethe composers nal symphonies consequentlyengendered a notion that he never heard thesepieces, and perhaps he wrote them not for aspecic occasion but out of some personal artisticneed. This view was famously articulated byAlfred Einstein, the romantically inclined Mozartscholar, who proposed a desire by the composerto give free rein to his creative powers and makean appeal to eternity at a time when his worldly
fortunes were in decline.Poetic as that idea may be, it runs counterto everything we know of Mozarts consistentlypractical approach to his profession. Modernscholars have therefore proposed severalpossibilities for explaining the composition ofthese three late symphonies. Unfortunately,their hypotheses, compelling though theymay be, remain unproven for lack of denitive

documentary evidence, and the mystery of the composers last threesymphonies remains just that. Despite the best efforts of Mozarts biographersand other investigators, we simply do not know what prompted theconcentrated outpouring of symphonic music that occupied the composerduring the summer of 1788.
A FUSION OF OPPOSITES The Symphony in G minor, K. 550, forms thecenterpiece of the nal trilogy. This work, which we hear now, revealsperhaps more of Mozarts essential nature than its bright major-key siblings,the Symphonies Nos. 39 and 41. Here we encounter the remarkable fusion ofoppositesof passion and formal elegance, sorrow and exultation, darknessand lightwhich informs the composers greatest music and seems toreect something of his character. It is interesting in this regard how various
commentators have emphasized one or the other of these contrasting aspectswhen considering the work. For example, Robert Schumanns often-quoteddescription of the G-minor Symphony as lled with Grecian lightness andgrace is countered by Otto Jahn, the great Mozart biographer of the 19thcentury, who declared it a work of pain and grieving. The varied perspectivesof these and other summaries illustrate the psychological complexity ofMozarts nest music and the exceptionally wide emotional range thissymphony encompasses during the course of its four movements.
Nevertheless, a sense of agitation does seem to pervade much of the piece.
Mozart establishes this quality in the opening measures. Here he dispenseswith the type of formal introduction in slow tempo that he had used in eachof his previous three symphonies. Instead, the composer begins straight offwith an energetic Allegro and a famous theme that seems to suggest yearningand agitation. In developing this and the movements other subjects, Mozartemploys his very considerable mastery of counterpoint, and his brilliant useof fugal echoes here, and in his other late symphonies, must be counted one ofhis greatest achievements.
The initial theme of the Andante promises a movement of the seeminglyeffortless grace so frequently encountered in Mozarts music. The composerfullls this promise but offers much more: a dark lyricism that suggests,if not sorrow, at least acquaintance with loss and heartache. The ensuingminuet is surprising in its power, which derives in no small degree from thestretto treatment, the contrapuntal piling up, of the minuet theme in itssecond paragraph.
The nale recalls the symphonys opening in terms of both its sheerdramatic intensity and its use of pointed harmonic inections to maintain
a sense of restless urgency. The movements central development sectioncommences with an extraordinary passage. Here, a statement of the maintheme dissolves into a halting, angular utterance that steps, for a few tensemoments, almost beyond any traditional sense of harmonic coherence.Although contrapuntal treatment of this subject again plays an important rolein shaping the movement, the nal impression we have is not one of learnedcompositional artice but of passions barely contained.

A BRIEF EXPLANATIONYou dont need to know what andante means or what a glockenspiel is toenjoy a St. Louis Symphony concert, but its fun to know stuff. For instance,
what is a K number?
K: In the listing of any work by Mozart, you see its identifying K number.Symphony No. 33 is K. 319. The Clarinet Concerto is K. 622. SymphonyNo. 40 is K. 550. Mozart wrote an incredible amount of music during hisbrief life, and he had neither the time nor the inclination to sort it all out.Hooray for the Austrian music historian Ludwig Kchel, who set to workand created the thematic catalogue of Mozarts works, which were rstpublished in Leipzig in 1862.
MOZARTS HORNS
Associate Principal Horn Thomas Jstlein explains that in Mozarts day, He
wrote for natural horns, which means they could not be played chromatically.Mozart was aware of what the horn could do, so his horn writing alternatesbetween horn call and wind instrument. Horn players need to wear differenthats when playing Mozart. We may play fanfares, or we may be used more asa lyrical woodwind.
