Perspectives from the Executive Director

December 2013
Acclaim for Franz and the Orchestra on tour
Our fabulous Orchestra recently completed an eight-city concert
tour that began November 4 in New York and fi nished on Novem-
ber 22 in Vienna. In four of the cities, the Cleveland Orchestra Cho-
rus added their wonderful voices to the ensemble. In my twenty-
fi ve years of hearing our concerts all over the world, these thirteen
concerts in November reached the highest artistic heights in memory.
The concerts centered on the “Fate and Freedom” festival we presented at Severance
Hall in October. And the performances were transcendent, the result of the collective
artistic commitment of Franz together with each and every performer on stage. Audi-
ences everywhere were wildly enthusiastic, press reviews were uniformly laudatory,
and, most importantly, every venue where we played issued an open invitation for mul-
tiple return engagements, far more than we have time in the schedule to fulfi ll. I hope
you saw the extensive coverage provided by The Plain Dealer and WKSU; some excerpts
of reviews are included in this program book.
An artistic triumph of this magnitude is exciting for all involved and it brings extraordi-
nary international attention to Northeast Ohio. Nevertheless, our ambassadorial role in
Europe’s great music halls is no match for our commitment to performing year-round
here at home for the community that created and has sustained the Orchestra for al-
most a century, and which we serve with great pride and humble dedication.
Thank you for your support
During this season of celebration and giving thanks, I want to convey our thanks to
you on behalf of the entire Cleveland Orchestra family. Franz Welser-Möst and the
members of the Orchestra are very grateful to everyone who experiences the joy of our
music-making here at home in Northeast Ohio: From loyal subscribers who wouldn’t
miss a concert to new listeners, dazzled by the beauty of this Concert Hall. From couples
on dates, socializing after a KeyBank Fridays@7 concert, to families on the Lawn at a Blos-
som concert, or joined here together for the holidays. From elementary school children
who arrive at Severance Hall in yellow buses, to the growing audience of young people
attending evening concerts through generously funded access programs.
In a very real way, each and every day, we are most thankful for our many supporters:
Foundations, who provide funding for innovation. Corporations, who sponsor our concert
presentations. Individuals, who donate to The Cleveland Orchestra at a rate higher than
at any other major orchestra in the country. We rely on you and your generosity to keep
our organization moving forward at the very highest levels of excellence and service. As
you refl ect on what you are grateful for in your own life, I hope you will recall the special
memories you associate with The Cleveland Orchestra, Severance Hall, and Blossom, and
that you will honor those lasting memories with a year-end gift to the Orchestra.
We greatly appreciate all that you do.

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.
To the start of this season, Th e Cleveland Orchestra has performed fourteen
world and fi ft een United States premieres under Franz Welser-Möst’s direction.
Th rough the Roche Commissions project, he and the Orchestra have premiered
works by Harrison Birtwistle, Chen Yi, Hanspeter Kyburz, George Benjamin,
Toshio Hosokawa, and Matthias Pintscher in partnership with the Lucerne Festi-
val and Carnegie Hall. In addition, the Daniel R. Lewis Young Composer Fellow
program has brought new voices to the repertoire, including Pintscher, Marc-An-
dré Dalbavie, Susan Botti, Julian Anderson, Johannes Maria Staud, Jörg Widmann,
Sean Shepherd, and Ryan Wigglesworth.
Franz Welser-Möst has led a series of opera performances during his tenure

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 Carneige 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.

Orchestra News2013 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

The Cleveland Orchestra and Music Direc-
tor Franz Welser-Möst’s live recording of Bruck-
ner’s Symphony No. 4, released earlier this
year, is receiving wide acclaim in reviews from
around the world — including a new award
announced this fall. The Bruckner Society of
America has just announced that it is giving
this DVD its “best video of the year”
designation, lauding the perfor-
mance and the presentation.
The performance was fi lmed
in 2012 at the beautiful 17th-cen-
tury baroque Abbey of St. Florian
in Austria. Emmy Award-winner
Brian Large directed the video
recording. This is the fi rst video
produced of the recent critical
edition of the 1888 version of
Bruckner’s Fourth Symphony,
edited by Benjamin Korstvedt
and published in 2004 as part of the Bruckner
Collected Works edition.
Reviewers’ praise includes:
“How does one approach Anton Bruckner
and his exuberant Fourth Symphony distinc-
tively? Franz Welser-Möst and his fellow Cleve-
landers accomplished it. And in such a way!”
—Vienna Zeitung, June 2013
“A great orchestra, a Bruckner expert.
. . . Five out of fi ve stars.” —Kurier (Austria),
May 2013
“In St. Florian, Franz Welser-Möst and The
Cleveland Orchestra breathed new life into
this version. A glorious concert.” —Die Presse
(Austria), May 2013
Clasart produced the recording, which
is being distributed by Arthaus and Naxos.
The Cleveland Orchestra’s long-term partner-
ship with Clasart has resulted in fi ve Bruckner
DVDs to date. Founded in Munich in 1977,
Clasart is part of the Tele München Group. The
Cleveland Orchestra extends special thanks to
Raiff eisenlandesbank Oberösterreich and Tele
München Group for their ongoing support for
electronic media projects.

Under 18s Free ticketing program extended to new series and concerts at Severance Hall
Committed to welcoming
more young people and families,
The Cleveland Orchestra has signifi cantly ex-
panded its “Under 18s Free” program for the
2013-14 season at Severance Hall — to include
forty-six concerts from September to May, an
increase from just fourteen “Under 18s Free”
concerts in the 2012-13 season. “Under 18s
Free” tickets will be available for all family
programming at Severance Hall, along with
Cleveland Orchestra concerts on Fridays and
Sundays. The concerts include the Family Con-
cert Series, PNC Musical Rainbows, Cleveland
Orchestra Youth Orchestra and Youth Chorus
concerts, as well as The Cleveland Orchestra’s
Friday morning and evening concerts and Sun-
day matinees.
“We’re dedicated to serving more people in
our community,” says Gary Hanson, the Orches-
tra’s executive director. “The expansion of our
‘Under 18s Free’ program will provide access to
more than three times as many performances for
families and young people this season.”
Since the creation of the Center for Future
Audiences in 2010, funding from the Center
has helped enable nearly 60,000 young people
to attend Blossom Music Festival concerts and
performances at Severance Hall. The Center’s
ticket initiatives include “Under 18s Free,” Stu-
dent Advantage, and Student Ambassadors
programs. The Center for Future Audiences,
created with a lead endowment gift from the
Maltz Family Foundation, was established to
fund programs to develop new generations of
audiences for Cleveland Orchestra concerts in
Northeastern Ohio.
The “Under 18s Free” program off ers free
tickets (one per regular-priced adult paid ad-
mission) to young people ages 7-17. (Holiday
concerts and Celebrity Series concerts are
excluded from the “Under 18s Free” off er.) Indi-
vidual free tickets for Severance Hall concerts
for this program must be purchased through
the Severance Hall Ticket Offi ce; series pur-
chases for some series are available online.

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

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.

For each concert, the program book

with biographies of the guest artists
and other information. You can read
these before the concert, at intermis-

at clevelandorchestra.com, usually by
the Monday directly preceding the

The Orchestra’s Music Study
Groups also provide a way of explor-

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-

portunity for audience members to ask
questions.

We look forward to welcoming her back as scheduled for concerts in April.

A Rich Inheritance

T H E E XC E P T I O N A L LY G I F T E D Mendelssohn knew all of Beet -
hoven’s music inside out, and, being a superb pianist, he played
the piano concertos on many occasions. Perhaps more signifi cant
for Mendelssohn’s own music was his adoption of the overture as a
vehicle of poetic expression.
In the two dramatic overtures Egmont and Coriolan, Beethoven
showed how a free-standing orchestral piece
could convey the essence of a drama or
a poetic idea without recourse to words.
Mendelssohn’s Overture to A Midsummer
Night’s Dream, which he wrote when he was
sixteen, and the overture Th e Hebrides, com-
posed when he was twenty, both pay tribute
to that heritage and laid the foundation for
innumerable pictorial overtures and sym-
phonic poems to come — whether by
Liszt, Tchaikovsky, or Richard Strauss.
If Beethoven stands at the head
of the 19th-century symphony and
concerto, Mendelssohn is the presid-
ing spirit over the passion for program
music that his contemporaries and
successors exploited to the full. With
this weekend’s program, we can enjoy
both — Beethoven’s mastery of form
and melody in two “early” concertos,
preceded by Mendelssohn’s wonderfully
wave-slapping overture depicting Scottish islands
in all their calm and fury.

W H E N T H E S C O T T I S H R E B E L L I O N against George II was
put down at the Battle of Culloden in 1746, a number of Eng-
lish soldiers were heard to remark that it was no surprise the
highlanders were such barbarians, wearing such strange clothes
and having to live in such a hideous mountain landscape, a part
of the known world which God had evidently failed to polish
at the Creation.
By the time Mendelssohn came of age, these attitudes had
been completely reversed. Mountains were now beautiful —
mysterious still, but full of poetry and music. When he toured
Scotland with his friend Karl Klingemann in August 1829, the
20-year-old composer was open to exactly the impressions that
Romantic poets and artists were anxious to fi nd.
From the port of Oban on the west coast, where Mendels-
sohn sketched a view of the distant islands, they took a boat to
the island of Mull. Th at night, from his lodgings in the fi shing
village of Tobermory, he wrote home to his family in Berlin:
“In order to show you how extraordinarily aff ected I am by the
Hebrides [the name for the islands in those parts], the following
came into my head there.” He attached a sketch of twenty-one
bars of music, which closely match the opening of the Hebrides
overture as we now know it, even though the work had many
transformations yet to undergo. Th e suggestive phrase at the
opening, and the rolling arpeggios that follow, are perfect evo-
cations of the inspiration of the moment — crossing the water
with a rugged, wild landscape all around.
Th e main work on the overture was actually done in Ven-
ice and Rome in 1830, when Mendelssohn was taking an Italian
tour to complement the Scottish one. But it was revised many
times before the composer (who was forever nervous about de-
claring a work to be fi nished) felt it was ready to be performed,
in London in 1832 — and many times more before it was ready
to be published.
Th e printed score bore the title Fingal’s Cave, the almost
inaccessible grotto on the island of Staff a that Mendelssohn and
Klingemann had visited aft er Mull. Mendelssohn said noth-
ing about that part of the trip, perhaps because he was horribly
seasick (as many tourists in those waters still are today), and
it is likely that the choice of title was not his. At all events, we

Mendelssohn the Wunderkind Felix Mendelssohn’s father was a banker, Abraham Mendelssohn.
His grandfather was a well-known German-Jewish philosopher, Moses
Mendelssohn. Felix grew up in an atmosphere of intense intellectual and artis-
tic curiosity. The family’s comfortable fi nancial circumstances allowed the boy
and his siblings to study, explore, and learn. Music was a favored interest,
and everyone was encouraged to learn an instrument (or two). Together,
they played through many pieces of chamber music and, occasionally, even
larger-ensemble works. His older sister, Fanny, was well-known as a pianist
from an early age. Felix, however, soon caught up — and would eventually
be recognized as one of Europe’s best keyboard artists (on both piano and
organ). He had begun studying piano at age six, was tutored the next year
in Paris, and was soon trumpeted as “a new Mozart.” Unlike that prodigy
of a generation before, however, Mendelssohn’s family did not exploit their
son as a potential money-making star. Instead, they encouraged him to
learn more about all aspects of music, including composition. By the time
he was 17 years old, he had written (and heard performed by his own family)
several masterful works — including his Overture to Shakespeare’s A Midsum-
mer Night’s Dream and the String Octet in E-fl at major.

are now accustomed to the original title, Th e Hebrides.
Whether or not a storm blew up while they were at sea,
Mendelssohn included the suggestion of rough weather in his
overture, both before the return to the main theme and at the
end — although he saved his most graphic representation of
a storm for the “Scottish” Symphony (published as No. 3), in-
spired by the same 1829 tour. But perhaps the strongest im-
pression the overture leaves is of supreme placidity and calm.
Th is is evoked by the beautiful second subject, fi rst heard on
the bassoons and cellos, and unforgettably moving when it re-
turns towards the end as a solo for the clarinet. Th e country
that inspired this could never again be viewed as the home of
barbarians.—Hugh Macdonald © 2013
About the Music

Below, an 18th-century engraving showing “Fingal’s Cave.”
Mendelssohn fi rst began
sketching what eventually
became this overture in the
summer of 1829. The work
went through a number
of revisions under several
diff erent titles: Ouvertüre
zur einsamen Insel (“The
Lonely Island,” 1830), Die
Hebriden (1830), Overture
to the Isles of Fingal (1832),
Ossian in Fingalshöhle
(“Ossian in Fingal’s Cave”),
and Die Fingals-Höhle
(1835). The work was fi rst
performed in London on
May 14, 1832, under the di-
rection of Thomas Attwood.
This overture runs
about 10 minutes in
performance. Mendels-
sohn scored it for 2 fl utes,
2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bas-
soons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets,
timpani, and strings.
The Cleveland Orches-
tra fi rst performed The Heb-
rides Overture in November
1921 under founding music
director Nikolai Sokoloff . It
has been performed regu-
larly since that time, most
recently at Severance Hall

Kurt Masur’s direction, and
more recently as part of the

43Severance Hall 2013-14 About the Music
T H E FA M I L I A R N U M B E R I N G of Beethoven’s fi ve piano con-
certos is misleading in that both the number and the numbering
are wrong. Th ere are seven in all, of which the present concerto,
No. 2, is indeed the second, while the famous No. 1, in C major,
is actually the third. Beethoven fi rst cut his concerto teeth on
a work in E-fl at major when he was thirteen, although no one
would claim that it makes any prophetic proclamation of the
mature composer, let alone of the “Emperor” Concerto (No. 5)
or any of the other great works in E-fl at.
The concerto in B-fl at major, ultimately published as No. 2,
was probably begun in Bonn, while the composer was in his late
teens, although it was not completed until 1795, following the cu-
riously silent spell when Beethoven seems to have been overawed
by his teacher Haydn. It emerged at much the same time as the
astonishing group of works that bear his lowest opus numbers —
the three piano trios, Op. 1, and the three piano sonatas, Op. 2.
In the Burgtheater on March 29, 1795, having already made
a certain name for himself in the private salons of the Vienna
aristocracy, Beethoven made his fi rst public appearance as a
virtuoso. A doctor friend from his Bonn days, Franz Wegeler,
tells a vivid tale of how the concerto was fi nished: “Not until the
aft ernoon of the second day before the concert did he write the
Rondo, and then while suff ering from a pretty severe colic, which
frequently affl icted him. . . . In the anteroom sat four copyists
to whom he handed sheet aft er sheet as soon as it was fi nished.
At the rehearsal, which took place the next day in Beethoven’s
room, the pianoforte was found to be a half step lower than the
wind instruments. Without a moment’s delay Beethoven played
his part a half step higher.” Presumably no such expedient was
required at the concert itself.
Th e work was revised for a concert in Prague in 1798 (by
which time “No. 1” had been composed) and it was published
in Leipzig in 1801 (by which time “No. 3” had been composed).
Conscious of tremendous advances in his music, Beethoven was
able to dismiss the B-fl at concerto, No. 2, in a letter to his pub-
lisher, as “not one of my best concertos.” He even sold it for half
the price he asked for adjacent works, such as the Septet Op. 20,
the First Symphony, and the B-fl at major Piano Sonata Op. 22.
Beethoven’s evaluation may seem reasonable for the fi rst

movement, but scarcely so for the other two. Th ere is a cer-
tain squareness and predictability in the fi rst movement, which
would be no criticism in a work by any other hand. Th e fi rst
four bars, for example, are exactly balanced by the second four,
and the contrasts of rhythm and character, and of wind and
strings, are also in exact equilibrium.
Something of Beethoven’s more personal manner comes
with the heavy unison C’s, fortissimo, followed by three D-fl ats,
pianissimo, a dramatic incident that rouses the music from any
suspicion of graceful ease. Once the solo piano has entered,
the music blossoms in new, livelier directions, with a suave
second subject and a surge of sixteenth notes as the exposition
approaches its close. Th e cadenza is by Beethoven himself.
The slow movement breaks new ground in both feel-
ing and form. One expects a fl ow of sustained melody from a
Beethoven Adagio, but here the theme is never fully stated, de-
spite its frequent recurrence; the fi rst six notes take a variety of
diff erent directions. At the opening, for example, the melody is
very quickly interrupted by dramatic orchestral intrusions. Th e
piano off ers a statement, then quickly proceeds to elaborate it.
A development takes it through darker keys, then a reprise gives
it to the oboe above piano arpeggios, the theme always subtly
diff erent, always calmly unfolding. Th e most moving passage
comes at the end where a long coda gives place not to a cadenza
but to a series of melodic fragments, unsupported by harmony,
off ered like hesitant speech and ending on a half-close, agoniz-
ingly incomplete. Th e orchestra has to supply the fi nal chords.
Th e rousing third movement rondo makes play of spiky
cross-rhythms in its main theme, although the soloist’s main con-
cern is with trills, grace notes, wide leaps, cascading sixteenths,
and the whole virtuoso kitbag. A middle episode gives the spiky
rhythm a new, lumbering character, like a folk dance. Towards
the end there are two touches of humor, neither quite like Haydn’s
well-known type of symphonic joking. One is the ironing out of
the spiky rhythm by the soloist in the coda in a surprising key,
with the key and the rhythm immediately corrected by the whole
orchestra. Th e other is the series of sweet nothings that prolong
the close long aft er the musical argument has ended.
Seven piano concertos? Aft er No. 4 (which was really the

the seventh.—Hugh Macdonald © 2013
About the Music
Beethoven began work on
his B-fl at major concerto in
Bonn prior to his move to
Vienna in 1792. He probably
played it in public for the
fi rst time at his “musical
academy” on March 29,
1795. He continued to make
revisions until its publication
in 1801 as Concerto No. 2. At
that time, the concerto was
dedicated to an Austrian no-
bleman named Carl Nicklas
von Nickelsberg. Beethoven
wrote out an extended solo
cadenza for the fi rst move-
ment in 1809.
This concerto runs about
30 minutes in performance.
Beethoven scored it for fl ute,
2 oboes, 2 bassoons, 2 horns,
strings, and the solo piano.
The Cleveland Orch es tra
fi rst performed Beethoven’s
Second Piano Concerto
in April 1954, with George
Szell conducting and Leon
Fleisher as soloist. It has
been performed regularly
since that time, most recently
in April 2011, when Kurt
Masur led performances at
Severance Hall with soloist
David Fray.

51Severance Hall 2013-14 About the Music
B E E T H O V E N ’ S early fame rested more on his piano playing
than on his compositions. Having arrived in Vienna in 1792,
he caught the attention of the public and, more importantly
of the nobility, by displaying his formidable powers in private
salons and later in public halls.
By composing piano concertos for himself to play, he
achieved the double objective of attracting attention as player
and as composer. Th e three concertos numbered 1, 2, and 3 all
belong to this phase of his life, before deafness began to threaten
his career as a pianist and his ability to communicate with his
fellow-beings.
Th e Concerto No. 3 was begun in 1800, at about the same
time as the Second Symphony and the six string quartets of
Opus 18, and although it reveals some of Beethoven’s latent
force, it is essentially part of his brilliant fi rst phase as a com-
poser, when melodiousness and high craft smanship were his
chief claims to pre-eminence. Th e key of C minor neverthe-
less foreshadows the stormy world of the Fift h Symphony, the
Th irty-Two Variations for piano, and a number of other pieces.
Th e opening theme of the concerto’s fi rst movement is
formulaic and baldly stated without accompaniment; most
striking is the drum-tap fi gure that pervades the movement and
eventually reaches the drums themselves, as Beethoven surely
destined it. Th e movement’s second subject, in contrast, is one
of Beethoven’s warmest melodies, especially radiant later on
when it returns in C major. A surprise occurs at the end when,
aft er the solo cadenza, the soloist does not sit back contented,
as had always been the normal practice, but continues in dialog
with the drums and then accompanies the full orchestra in its
closing gestures.
Aft er the dark C minor of the fi rst movement, the remote
chord of E major that opens the slow middle movement has
an ethereal eff ect. Beethoven means to transport his listeners
to another world and, in a few bars of concentrated melody, he
does so. Once the orchestra has replied in its own way to the
piano’s opening theme, the piano part is allowed to blossom
gloriously in runs, arpeggios, and cascades, which never dis-
turb the stately pace of the movement.
A cadenza and a pair of horns allow the movement to

settle into a calm close, except that . . . a shocking, loud chord
confi rms the key of E major and simultaneously sets the return
to C minor for the concluding lively rondo third movement in
painful relief.
Each return of the theme is eff ected by a surging scale,
which accentuates the melody’s awkward intervals and com-
pulsive rhythm. Th e clarinet’s contrasting theme is a generous
reminder that Beethoven had not yet left the divine melodious-
ness of his youth behind. Th e fi nal section abandons both the
2/4 rhythm and the minor key, and gives us a conventional
happy ending in a bouncy 6/8, as if that had been the objective
of this dark-hued work all along. Beethoven was always the
great dissembler.—Hugh Macdonald © 2013

About the Music
It was long thought that Beethoven
had written this concerto in 1799
or 1800, with sketches dating
to as early as 1797. More recent
research suggests that, although
some phrases may have been
sketched earlier, he began writing
the concerto in earnest in 1802 and
completed it early in 1803. It was
fi rst performed on April 5, 1803, at
the Theater-an-der-Wien in Vienna,
with the composer as soloist. The
concerto was published the follow-
ing year with a dedication to Prince
Louis Ferdinand of Prussia. The fi rst
performance in the United States
took place on December 8, 1842,
in Boston’s Tremont Temple, with
George J. Webb conducting the Mu-
sical Fund Society and J. L. Hatton
as pianist.
This concerto runs about
30 minutes in performance.
Beethoven scored it for 2 fl utes, 2
oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2
horns, 2 trumpets, timpani, and
strings.
The Cleveland Orchestra
fi rst presented Beethoven’s Third
Piano Concerto in January 1923 at
subscription concerts led by Nikolai
Sokoloff , with Mischa Levitzki as
soloist. The most recent perfor-
mances were given at Severance
Hall in May 2013 by Lars Vogt, con-
ducted by Manfred Honeck. The
concerto was last heard at Blossom
as part of the 2011 Festival, with
pianist Jon Kimura Parker in a
performance conducted by David
Afkham.
The Cleveland Orchestra has
recorded all fi ve of Beethoven’s Pia-
no Concertos three times: between
1959 and 1961 with George Szell
and Leon Fleisher, in 1968 with Szell
and Emil Gilels, and between 1986
and 1987 with Vladimir Ashkenazy
as both conductor and pianist.

Leon FleisherAmerican pianist and conductor Leon Fleisher is serving
as Th e Cleveland Orchestra’s artist-in-residence this sea-
son. Th is position is made possible by the Malcolm E. Ken-
ney Artist-in-Residence Fund, created through a generous
endowment gift to Th e Cleveland Orchestra. Mr. Fleisher
has performed with the Orchestra in more than 70 concerts,
beginning in October 1946. He fi rst conducted the Orches-
tra in 1978 in Lakewood; this weekend marks his Severance
Hall conducting debut.
Leon Fleisher’s career as soloist, conductor, recitalist,
chamber music artist, and masterclass mentor has spanned
across the decades of his life. Born in 1928, he began play-
ing piano at age four and gave his fi rst recital at age eight. He was the young-
est-ever student of Artur Schnabel, whose own former teachers can be traced to
Beethoven. Leon Fleisher made his public debut in 1944 with the New York Phil-

In 1952, Mr. Fleisher was the fi rst American to win the Queen Elisabeth
Competition. He went on to perform with every major orchestra and made a se-
ries of acclaimed recordings with George Szell and Th e Cleveland Orchestra. At
the height of his success in 1965, he suff ered focal dystonia, which rendered two
fi ngers on his right hand immobile. Mr. Fleisher then turned to repertoire for the
left hand and conducting. Eventually, treatments using Rolfi ng and botulinum
toxin injections restored his hand’s mobility. Leon Fleisher’s professional renais-
sance has been documented in fi lms, recordings, and a memoir, My Nine Lives: A
Memoir of Many Careers in Music.
Highlights of Mr. Fleisher’s 2013-14 season include appearances as soloist
with the orchestras of Boston and Chicago and the New York String Orchestra,
and as conductor-soloist with the Naples Philharmonic in Florida, leading a world
premiere with three of his children and a daughter-in-law as harp soloists.
In 2008, Sony re-issued Leon Fleisher’s extensive discography on CD and as
digital downloads. Since 2004, he has also recorded for Bridge Records, Deutsche
Grammophon, Ondine, and Vanguard. Th is past summer, Sony issued a 23-CD
set that includes his Szell/Cleveland performances, which remain a greatly praised
documentation of their collaborations.
Honorary doctorates and the Johns Hopkins University President’s Medal
are among Mr. Fleisher’s many honors. He is also is a Commander in the French
Order of Arts and Letters, 2007 Kennedy Center Honoree, Musical America’s 1994
Instrumentalist of the Year, and the Royal Philharmonic Society’s 2013 Instru-
mentalist of the Year. He lives in Baltimore with his wife, pianist Katherine Jacob-
son Fleisher.

Jonathan BissAmerican pianist Jonathan Biss is known for his artistry,
musical intelligence, and deeply felt interpretations — win-
ning international recognition for his orchestral, recital, and
chamber music performances and for his award-winning re-
cordings. He performs a diverse repertoire ranging from Mo-
zart and Beethoven, through the Romantics to Janáček and
Schoenberg, as well as works by contemporary composers
such as György Kurtág and including commissions by Leon
Kirchner, Lewis Spratlan, Timo Andres, and Bernard Rands.
He made his Cleveland Orchestra debut in November 2007;
his most recent appearances were in November 2011.
Mr. Biss’s orchestral engagements during the 2013-14
season include appearances with the New York Philharmonic, Boston Symphony,
Calgary Philharmonic, San Antonio Symphony, Rochester Philharmonic, Seattle
Symphony, NDR Hannover, Swedish Chamber Orchestra, and Leipzig Gewandhaus.
Jonathan Biss continues to play in major recital series across the United
States and in Europe — he has twice opened the Master Piano Series at the Con-
certgebouw, as well as performed at the Salzburg, Lucerne, and Edinburgh Fes-
tivals, in the Beethovenfest in Bonn, and for St. Petersburg’s Mariinsky Concert
Hall in Russia. Mr. Biss made his Carnegie Hall recital debut in January 2011
with a program of works by Beethoven, Schumann, and Janáček, plus a new work
written for him by Bernard Rands. He continues to appear regularly at Carnegie
Hall, and will present his second recital in Stern Auditorium in January 2014.
In January 2012, Onyx Classics released the fi rst album in a nine-year, nine-
disc recording cycle of Beethoven’s complete sonatas with Mr. Biss. He wrote
about this recording project and his relationship with Beethoven’s music more
generally in Beethoven’s Shadow, an essay that was published electronically by Ro-
settaBooks as a Kindle Single, available from Amazon.com. Beethoven’s Shadow
subsequently ranked as the best-selling Music e-book title on Amazon in the U.S.
and the U.K. Mr. Biss’s previous recordings include an album of Schubert sona-
tas and two short pieces by Kurtág. Th ese followed four acclaimed recordings for
EMI Classics, including an all-Schumann album and one of Beethoven Piano so-
natas, which received an Edison Award.
Jonathan Biss represents the third generation in a family of professional mu-
sicians that includes his grandmother, cellist Raya Garbousova, and his parents,
violinist Miriam Fried and violist-violinist Paul Biss. Jonathan Biss began piano
at age six, and his fi rst musical collaborations were with his parents. He studied
at Indiana University with Evelyne Brancart and at the Curtis Institute with Leon
Fleisher.

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.

The Cleveland OrchestraCenter for Future AudiencesTHE CLE VE L AND ORCHE STRA’s Center for Future Audiences was estab-
lished to fund programs to develop new generations of audiences for Cleveland
Orch estra concerts in Northeast Ohio. Th e Center was created in 2010 with a
$20 million lead endowment gift from the Maltz Family Foundation. Center-
funded programs focus on addressing economic and geographic barriers to
attending Cleveland Orch estra concerts at Severance Hall and Blossom Music
Center. Programs include research,
introductory off ers, targeted dis-
counts, student ticket programs, and
integrated use of new technologies.
Th e goal is to create one of the young-
est audiences of any symphony or-
chestra in the country. For additional
information about these plans and pro-
grams, call us at 216-231-7464.

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.
Visit the Cleveland Orchestra Store for
the latest and best Cleveland Orchestra
recordings and DVDs.

87Severance Hall 2013-14 87
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.
