January 2013
Welcome to Severance Hall and the first concerts of 2013!
There is much good news to report about The Cleveland Orch-
estra’s ticket sales success in recent months and for the season as
a whole. Continuing artistic success and significant programmatic
changes have put the current 2012-13 Severance Hall season on
track to achieve a new all-time record for ticket sales revenue.
The months of November and December 2012 broke all previous records. More than
47,000 people purchased tickets for twenty-six performances, a 28% increase over the
twenty-five concerts performed in the same months in 2011.
This success was propelled by the most diversified programming we have ever offered,
ranging from Classical, Celebrity, KeyBank Fridays@7, and Holiday Festival concerts,
to The Nutcracker, Pink Martini, and Charlie Chaplin’s Modern Times accompanied by
the Orchestra. Overall paid attendance filled 92% of the available seats and revenues
totaled $2.8 million, an amazing 60% increase over last year.
Sales are strong for the entire September-to-May season. As January begins, revenues
are running 24% ahead of the same time last year and are on track to achieve an all-time
record of $7.6 million. The previous record was set more than a decade ago.
This season’s renaissance is a convincing sign that the public is responding to the Orch-
estra’s many changes. More people are attending more kinds of performances than
ever before, and more new people — and young people — are entering the doors of
Severance Hall to enjoy the Orchestra’s concerts each week.
A surge of student attendees, attracted by diversified programs, special offers, and
social media, has helped propel audience growth. The number of students attending
Cleveland Orchestra concerts at Severance Hall so far this season has more than dou-
bled over the same period a year ago.
There are many people to acknowledge and thank for this turn-around. Dozens of
sponsors and donors have generously funded the innovations behind these achieve-
ments. Every one of the institution’s employees, the extraordinary members of our
Orchestra and our tireless staff, has risen to the challenge of implementing change
— with our dedicated trustees leading the way. Finally, thousands of longtime and new
patrons have become loyal supporters, venturing with us through the many changes in
recent seasons. Thank you to all.
And what’s still to come? In future seasons, we will pursue ever-greater artistic
achievements under Franz’s inspiring leadership, alongside continuing innovation
as we work to ensure that The Cleveland Orchestra remains relevant and valuable in
our ever-changing community.

U N D E R T H E L E A D E R S H I P of Music Director Franz Welser-Möst, Th e Cleve-
land Orchestra has become one of the most sought-aft er performing ensem-
bles in the world. In concerts at its winter home at Severance Hall and at each
summer’s Blossom Festival, in residencies from Miami to Vienna, and on tour

lence, creative programming, and community engagement. Th e partnership
with Franz Welser-Möst, now in its eleventh season — and with a commit-
ment to the Orchestra’s centennial in 2018 — has moved the ensemble forward
with a series of new and ongoing initiatives, including:
the establishment of residencies around the world, fostering creative artistic
growth and an expanded fi nancial base, including an ongoing residency at
the Vienna Musik verein (the fi rst of its kind by an American orchestra);
expansion of education and community programs in Northeast Ohio to
make music an integral and regular part of everyday life for more people; the
2012-13 season includes the launch of an annual Neighborhood Residency pro-

performances, with arts institutions in Northeast Ohio and in Miami;

performances by Th e Joff rey Ballet; the 2012-13 season featured the Orchestra’s fi rst
fully staged performances of Tchaikovsky’s Th e Nutcracker.
Th e Cleveland Orchestra was founded in 1918 by a group of local citizens in-
tent on creating an ensemble worthy of joining America’s ranks of major sympho-
ny orchestras. 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 intimate 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 Music Center, one of the most beautiful and acoustically admired outdoor
concert facilities in the United States.

Franz Welser-Möst Music Director Kelvin Smith Family Endowed Chair The Cleveland Orchestra
T H E 2 01 2 -1 3 S E A S O N marks Franz Welser-Möst’s
eleventh year as music director of Th e Cleveland
Orchestra, with a long-term commitment extend-
ing to the Orchestra’s centennial in 2018. Under his
direction, the Orchestra is acclaimed for its continu-
ing artistic excellence, is enlarging and enhancing its
community programming at home, is presented in a
series of ongoing residencies in the United States and
Europe, continues its historic championship of new
composers through commissions and premieres, and
has re-established itself as an important operatic en-
semble. Concurrently with his post in Cleveland, Mr. Welser-Möst became
general music director of the Vienna State Opera in September 2010.
With a committed focus on music education in Northeast Ohio, Franz
Welser-Möst has taken Th e Cleveland Orchestra back into public schools with
performances in collaboration with the Cleveland Metropolitan School District.
Th e initiative continues and expands upon Mr. Welser-Möst’s active participation
in community concerts and educational programs, including the Cleveland Orches-
tra Youth Orchestra and partnerships with music conservatories and universities
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 new biennial 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,
and Sean Shepherd.

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.
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 Isolde,
a new production of Wagner’s Ring cycle with stage director Sven-
Eric Bechtolf, and critically praised new productions of Hin-
demith’s Cardillac and Janáček’s Katya Kabanova and From the
House of the Dead. During the 2012-13 season, his Vienna performances include
Wagner’s Parsifal, Strauss’s Arabella and Ariadne auf Naxos, Puccini’s La Bohème,
and Berg’s Wozzeck.
Mr. Welser-Möst also maintains an ongoing relationship with the Vienna Phil-
harmonic. Recent performances with the Philharmonic include appearances at the
Lucerne Festival and Salzburg Festival, in Tokyo, and in concert at La Scala Milan,
as well as leading the Philharmonic’s 2011 New Year’s Day concert, viewed by telecast
in seventy countries worldwide; he conducted the New Year’s Day concert again at
the start of 2013 and also leads the Philharmonic in a series of concerts at New York’s
Carnegie Hall in March 2013. Across a decade-long tenure with the Zurich Opera,
culminating in three seasons as general music director (2005-08), Mr. Welser-Möst
led the company in more than 40 new productions and numerous revivals.
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
recordings of live performances of Bruckner symphonies, presented in three ac-
coustically 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.

great musical beasts. With Franz
Welser-Möst conducting, this music

world’s great ensembles is richly deserved.”

2013 New Year’s Day concert with Franz Welser-Möst and Vienna Philharmonic recordings now available Sony Classical has announced the release
of the newest edition of one of the world’s
most famous classical music events — the
Vienna Philharmonic’s annual New Year’s Con-
cert from 2013. Franz Welser-Möst returned to
direct the 2013 concert following the success
of his debut in 2011.
The live recording became available on
January 4, exclusively at Arkiv Music and via
Amazon.com’s CreateSpace’s Disc on Demand
service as a CD, or as a download through all
major digital service providers. The CD version is
being released to other retailers on January 22,
with the DVD version following in February.
The New Year’s Concert of the Vienna
Philharmonic is firmly established as one of
the longest-standing and most prestigious
music events worldwide. In its history of more
than seven decades, the concert has been led
by many of the most famous conductors and
experienced by millions of people via televi-
sion broadcasts in over 70 countries.
In announcing the recordings, Clemens
Hellsberg, chairman of the Vienna Philhar-
monic, emphasized the plaudits that Franz
Welser-Möst earned for this event in 2011 and
his close association with the musical life of
Vienna as general music director of the State
Opera, making made him a natural choice to
encore his role for New Year’s.
For seven decades, the Vienna Philhar-
monic has presented this entertaining and
heartfelt annual New Year’s program, featur-
ing music from across the wide repertoire
created by the Johann Strauss family dynasty
and their contemporaries. The proven formula
blends well-known classics with premieres of
works that have never been performed before
at the New Year’s Concert. This year’s program
included eleven premieres (more than ever
before) and also paid tribute to Wagner and
Verdi, looking to the bicentennials this spring
of their births.
Welser-Möst advocates for art and culture with keynote address in Vienna At the end of November, Franz Welser-
Möst delivered an impassioned keynote ad-
dress on the importance of supporting and
expanding a vibrant, multi-national cultural
life in modern society during a gala celebrat-
ing the Bicentennial of Vienna’s famed con-
cert hall, the Musikverein.
The event was held in the Brahmssaal
of the Musikverein and also featured re-
marks from Austria’s president, minister of
culture, and culture secretary, along with the
Musikverein’s president and intendant. The
event was held prior to a concert conducted
by Nikolaus Harnoncourt.
Welser-Möst’s speech addressed funda-
mental questions about how to champion
and renew culture in a world that too often
marginalizes these essential elements in fa-
vor of maintaining health and welfare.
“Cultivation, which must be one of the foun-
dations of any society, requires creativity,”
said Welser-Möst. “We must give this more
thought, to formulate new dreams and set
new goals — to aim for the impossible, both
for ourselves and for coming generations,
and to perhaps come just a bit closer to pre-
cisely that which we will never achieve. Any
person who wants to accomplish something
special does precisely this, by declaring the
impossible to be the goal.”
All labor that uplifts
humanity has dignity and
importance and should be
undertaken with painstak-
ing excellence.
—Martin Luther King Jr.

Film on January 16 at CMA traces story of violin that Joshua Bell plays next week A special showing
of the film “The Return
of the Violin” takes place
next week on Wednes-
day, January 16, at the
Cleveland Museum of
Art’s Gartner Auditorium
(11150 East Blvd). This
Israeli documentary fol-
lows the story of a 1731
Stradivarius violin now
owned by Joshua Bell,
who will be in town to perform with The Cleve-
land Orchestra January 17-19. Bell will attend
the film showing.
The violin, once owned by Israel Phil-
harmonic founder Bronislaw Huberman, was
stolen in 1936 while Huberman was perform-
ing at Carnegie Hall. It remained lost for nearly
fifty years, and was then rediscovered in 1985,
covered with shoe polish. After its return to
Lloyd’s of London, a meticulous restoration
process, and the sale to an English violinist, the
violin was put up for sale as a museum piece in
2001. Not willing to allow such an instrument
remain silent, Joshua Bell purchased the Hu-
berman Stradivarius and uses it in many of his
performances.

Introducing the Program
I N T R O D U C I N G T H E P R O G R A M
Message,Music&IdeasA M O N G T H E G R E AT P L E A S U R E S of music is its sheer variety —
of sounds, of mood, of melody, rhythm, and intent. One performer
or many. Chamber music, rock band, jazz riff, or live symphony
orchestra. It can uplift us when we are low, refine our melancholy to a
mellow sense of resignation, or amplify our feelings when we are exu-
berant, nostalgic, or spot on.
This week’s concerts feature three works that
make very suitable soundtracks for the lives of these
three very different composers.
Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 2, from 1880,
displays fireworks, bravado, and well-crafted beauty in
equal measure. While infrequently performed com-
pared to the famous First Piano Concerto, this
work, through its lack of familiarity, can offer
an even stronger sense of this composer’s great-
est strengths. Here, Tchaikovsky’s building
blocks are more easily discerned, but no less
equally enjoyed.
By contrast, Shostakovich’s Tenth Sympho-
ny from 1953 is a piece both harder to under-
stand and more difficult to dismiss. It features
passages of great beauty, mixed with irony,
angst, and episodic celebration. The composer’s enig-
matic view of life’s uncertainties in the Soviet Union
— and his role as a musician for the people of his
homeland — can be pondered, but never known. It is
clearly one of the 20th century’s greatest symphonies,
but the meaning of this music is, ultimately, a very
personal choice, for composer and listener alike.
And, for the audience at this week’s Friday Morning Concert, two
joyful tone poems by Bedřich Smetana take the place of Shostakovich’s

S M E TA N A W R O T E the six parts of his symphonic cycle Má
Vlast (“My Country” or “My Homeland”) just as he reached
the age of fi ft y, when fame and fortune were knocking regularly
on his door. And just when sudden deafness created a nearly
irreconcilable gulf between himself and the everyday world
around him. Th ese tone poems were, perhaps in part, a way
for the composer to recapture and hold onto the sounds of the
world around him — encapsulating in music the joy and emo-
tion in life and living.
Smetana originally conceived the cycle as a four-part sym-
phony that would extol the glories of his native Bohemia and
its Czech people. Only aft er the initial success of its opening
movements, each premiered separately, did he decide to “com-
plete” the work by adding two fi nal sections, for a total of six
symphonic poems. Th e entire series was fi rst performed to-
gether as a cycle on November 5, 1882. Since 1952, it has been
the traditional opening concert for the “Prague Spring Festival,”
performed annually on the anniversary of Smetana’s death each
May 12th.
As with Beethoven, Smetana’s deafness did not end his
creative eff orts — most of Má Vlast was penned in newfound
silence. But whereas Beethoven’s hearing faded gradually over
a number of years, and left him with small amounts of aural
sensation, Smetana’s came on later in life, very suddenly, and
quite completely. Deafness, in fact, removed him so quickly
and entirely from the world he thought he knew that only mu-
sic kept him sane — and only for a while.
In a matter of weeks, from mid-summer into September
1874, Smetana’s hearing faded quickly and almost totally. Of
necessity, he was forced to resign his administrative and con-
ducting duties at the opera. And perhaps largely to confront
his rushing deafness, Smetana began heated work on the sym-
phonic poems he had been thinking about for several years,
completing fi rst the sketches for Vyšehrad (Part One) he had
created two years earlier and then composing all of Th e Moldau
during three weeks in November.
In January 1875, he continued with the third part, Šárka,

which he fi nished by the end of February. He intended, at this
point, to create a four-part cycle of poems not unlike a traditional
four-movement symphony, with the fourth depicting “Czech
life in song and dance.” Th is became From Bohemia’s Forests
and Fields [“Z českých luhů a hájů” in the original Czech].
Part Two: THE MOLDAU [Vltava]
Th e main musical theme of Th e Moldau is today a popular
Czech folksong. It was not, however, a Czech song when Smetana
borrowed it. Smetana had, in fact, oft en voiced violent opposition
to the idea of adopting true folksong melodies into the national
musical language he was trying to create. His borrowing, in this
case, reached quite far geographically, when he adapted (perhaps
subconsciously) a folk melody he had heard while teaching for
a number of years in Sweden as a young man. (Dvořák crossed
much the same path and controversy with some of the adapted
borrowings within his “New World” Symphony.)
Smetana’s words about this tone poem clearly lay out the
river’s migration from mountain spring through Bohemia to-
ward the sea: “Two springs pour forth in the shade of the Bohe-
mian Forest, one warm and gushing, the other cold and peaceful.
Th eir waves fl ow quickly over rocky beds, joining together and
glistening in the morning sun. Th e forest brook, hastening on,
becomes the river Moldau. Coursing through Bohemia’s valleys,
it grows into a mighty stream. Th rough thick woods it fl ows,
as the triumphant sounds of the hunt and the notes of hunters’
horns are heard ever nearer. It fl ows through grass-grown pas-
tures and lowlands where a wedding feast is being celebrated in
song and dance. At night, wood and water nymphs revel in its
sparkling waves. Refl ected on its surface are fortresses and castles
— witnesses to bygone days of knightly splendor and the van-
ished glory of fi ghting times. At the St. John Rapids, the stream
races ahead, winding through the cataracts, hewing out a path
with its foaming waves through the rocky chasm into the broad
riverbed — fi nally, fl owing on in majestic peace toward Prague
and welcomed by the time-honored castle Vyšehrad [Smetana
encores the castle’s musical motif from the fi rst tone poem of
the cycle]. Th en it vanishes beyond our gaze.”
A personal note: I have vivid memories from childhood
of waking on Sunday mornings to hear the swift -running cur-
rent of the River Moldau fl owing mightily past my bedroom
door. It was Smetana’s music, of course, from an oft -played re-

41Severance Hall 2012-13 About the Music
Smetana fi rst talked about
writing a musical work
depicting the river Moldau
in 1867. Five years later, he
made some sketches related
to two “symphonic poems,”
one about the river and one
about the fortress Vyšehrad.
He completed these two in
1874, after suffering profound
hearing loss that summer. He
wrote Šárka in early 1875,
and the fourth poem, From
Bohemia’s Forests and Fields,
later that year. Each piece
was premiered separately in
Prague, between March 1875
and March 1877. Smetana
created two additional move-
ments for the cycle in 1878-79;
they were then premiered in
1880. The entire Má Vlast
was fi rst performed together
on November 5, 1882.
Parts Two and Four
— The Moldau and From
Bohemia’s Forests and Fields
— together run about 20
minutes in performances.
Smetana scored them for
an orchestra of 2 fl utes and
piccolo, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets,
2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2
trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba,
timpani, percussion (triangle,
cymbals, bass drum), harp (in
The Moldau), and strings.

cording (by Th e Cleveland Orchestra) cherished by my father.
He oft en chose to wake us on Sundays by playing music — of
a vastly eclectic range. But the watery sounds of the Moldau
were among my favorite, both for the realism of the river itself
and for the long, over-arching crescendo that turns little stream
(barely awake) into mighty river (time for breakfast).
Part Four: FROM BOHEMIA’S FORESTS AND FIELDS
In From Bohemia’s Forests and Fields, aft er painting por-
traits in the fi rst movements of the country’s greatest fortress, its
national river, and one of its fi ercest historical heroes, Smetana
wrote a musical ode to the common countryside fi lled with av-
erage villages, verdant greenery, and everyday beauty.
Of this music, Smetana wrote: “Th is symphonic poem
broadly characterizes the thoughts and feelings that well within
us as we survey the Bohemian landscape. From every direction,
fervent song comes to our ears; every grove and all the fl owered
meadows sing their melodies, both cheerful and melancholy. All
have something to say: the deep, dark forests (horn solos) and
the sunny, fertile plains along the Elbe River, and all the other
parts of the rich and beautiful land of Bohemia.” While not as
specifi cally programmatic as other parts of the cycle, this fi nely-
etched tone painting evokes some of the feelings that nature
can inspire and, like Beethoven’s Sixth Symphony, is diffi cult
to resist in its at times gentle sincerity.
Epilog: MÁ VLAST
Th e success of his fi rst four parts encouraged Smetana to
write two more, creating a total of six movements to Má Vlast.
Th ese were fi rst performed as a cycle in November 1882, to great
acclaim and rejoicing. Th e two movements being presented
at this morning’s Cleveland Orchestra concert provide a clear
and pleasing view of Smetana’s love for his country — and his
enduring ability to paint Czech themes in music.

Piano Concerto No. 2 in G major, Opus 44composed 1879-80
W I T H I T S U N F O R G E T TA B L E opening theme and the piano’s
widespread chords, Tchaikovsky’s First Piano Concerto is al-
ways going to remain a favorite concert piece for those who
love the eternal battle between a full symphony orchestra and
the mighty concert grand.
But his Second Piano Concerto should not be overlooked,
not least because Tchaikovsky himself was very fond of it and
because it displays the same richness of themes and barnstorm-
ing virtuosity that we expect from his best works. It is typically
Russian in its brazen emotional quality and its determination to
extract every last ounce from the eighty-eight black and white
keys — and the pianist’s mere ten fi ngers.
It comes, too, from a fertile period of the composer’s life.
Th e disaster of Tchaikovsky’s marriage in 1877 brought on
the extraordinary combination of nervous collapse and inspi-
rational fecundity. Some of his best music came out of those
anxiety-ridden months, while he moved from city to city in
restless agitation. From then onward, he would never spend
much time at home in Moscow without longing to be away in
the country, or away out of the country, in Paris or Switzerland
or Rome. Th e opera Eugene Onegin, the Fourth Symphony, and
the Violin Concerto were all composed in these extraordinary
circumstances, all masterpieces of undying appeal.
Th e Second Piano Concerto followed soon aft er, in the au-
tumn of 1879, also written on the move, as it were, as he packed
his bags and left Moscow for his sister’s home in Kamenka, then
Paris, then Rome, then St. Petersburg. Tchaikovsky had given
up teaching at the Moscow Conservatory, which he had never
really enjoyed, and having just completed his opera Th e Maid
of Orleans had promised himself a rest. But he was never able
to suppress the urge to work and would rise early in the morn-
ing, wherever he happened to be, and sit at his desk pouring
delicious cascades of notes onto paper.
As was usually the case, Tchaikovsky felt very pleased with
the work as it took shape and pronounced himself completely
satisfi ed when it was done. Th is pattern oft en took the form of
him turning against a piece once it receded from the compo-
sitional moment, entered the process of performance and pub-
lication, and faced the hurdle of public criticism. He was very

severe on the Fourth Symphony, for example, sometime aft er
it was composed. In the case of the Second Piano Concerto,
however, he went on liking it and stood up in its defense when
one of his students, Alexander Siloti, proposed some cuts and
adjustments. Siloti was one of the many great Russian pianists
who came out of the Moscow Conservatory under the guidance
of its founder and director, Nikolai Rubinstein. Rubinstein was
a good friend to Tchaikovsky, had given him his fi rst job and
taken him into his house. Rubinstein was also, like his brother
Anton, one of the great piano virtuosos of the 19th century.
Rubinstein is part of the story of the Second Piano Con-
certo, because he had reacted very curtly to the First Piano
Concerto and refused to play it, to Tchaikovsky’s dismay. Th e
friendship remained intact, however, and the composer hoped
that this time Rubinstein would not only like the new concerto
but play it. If anything, the Second Concerto is harder for the
soloist than the First. Th e hope was never put to the test, for
Rubinstein died at the age of 45 in Paris early in 1881. Tchai-
kovsky still dedicated the score to him, and Tchaikovsky’s next
work, an immense piano trio, was dedicated to his memory.
Th e fi rst performance of the Second Piano Concerto was
given in November 1881 in New York, thanks to the enterprising
programming of the conductor Th eodore Th omas, always alert to
the latest music coming from Europe and Russia. He conducted
the performance with the German-trained English pianist Mad-
eline Schiller, obviously the possessor of a formidable technique.
Th e fi rst performance in Moscow was given by another brilliant
Moscow pianist, Sergei Taneyev, in May 1882.
T H E M U S I C
Of the concerto’s three sections, the fi rst movement is
much the longest, thanks to a number of episodes where the
pianist expands on a theme at considerable length while the
orchestra looks on. Sometimes these passages are close to be-
ing free cadenzas. Th e range of themes and keys is wide, and
silences oft en mark the points where episodes begin and end
— a habit which made Tchaikovsky confess that he could never
really disguise the seams in the fabric of his music. His unique
gift for building tension by pushing the upper voices higher and
higher, oft en with the bass notes going in the opposite direc-
tion, is particularly well displayed in this movement.
Aft er a somber opening, the slow second movement,
Tchaikovsky wrote his Piano
Concerto No. 2 in 1879-80. It
was fi rst performed on No-
vember 12, 1881, in New York
City, with Theodore Thomas
conducting the New York
Philharmonic, with Madeline
Schiller at the piano. The
composer dedicated the score
to Nikolai Rubinstein.
This concerto runs
about 30-35 minutes in
performance. Tchaikovsky
scored it for 2 fl utes, 2 oboes,
2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4
horns, 2 trumpets, timpani,
and strings. The edition used
for this week’s concerts is a
version edited by Alexander
Siloti, which shortened some
passages and sections from
Tchaikovsky’s original.
The Cleveland Orchestra
fi rst played Tchaikovsky’s
Second Piano Concerto in Feb-
ruary 1968, when Louis Lane
led performances with soloist
Gary Graffman, at Severance
Hall and at Oberlin College
and Marshall University. The
Orchestra has presented this
concerto on only three subse-
quent programs, at concerts
at Severance Hall in January
and February 1991 and as
part of the 1972 and 1993
Blossom Festivals.

in which the winds play little part, brings forward a solo violin and a
solo cello, making a chamber music unit of very satisfying character
(although some of this has been shortened in the score edition by Al-
exander Siloti being performed on this weekend’s Cleveland Orchestra
concerts). As always, Tchaikovsky’s melodic gift is exhibited to the full,
yet the ending feels somewhat disturbed, with a lone trumpet entering
as if from afar.
Th e third movement fi nale is a knuckle-buster for the pianist, who
is given almost no rest. Th e tunes pour out and the excitement builds
at the end in the same manner as in the First Piano Concerto. (Surely
Nikolai Rubinstein would have found this music hard to resist.)
E P I L O G
In the last year of his life, Tchaikovsky embarked on a third piano
concerto, but was unhappy with it aft er completing only one movement.
Its history is entangled with ideas for another symphony, sometimes
referred to as the mythical “Seventh,” which was also left in sketch
form. Attempts to reconstruct both symphony and concerto founder
on material that Tchaikovsky himself obviously felt unhappy about, so
that most modern performances of the “next concerto” have to settle
for one movement only.—Hugh Macdonald © 2013

Garrick OhlssonSince winning the 1970 Chopin International Piano Competition, American pia-
nist Garrick Ohlsson has established himself worldwide as a musician of inter-
pretive and technical prowess. He made his Cleveland Orchestra debut in March
1975, and most recently appeared with the Orchestra in
October 2010.
A native of White Plains, New York, Garrick Ohls-
son began piano studies at age 8, attended the Westches-
ter Conservatory of Music, and at 13 entered the Juilliard
School. His teachers include Claudio Arrau, Olga Barabini,
Sascha Gorodnitzki, Rosina Lhévinne, Tom Lishman, and
Irma Wolpe. Among Mr. Ohlsson’s honors are fi rst prizes
at the 1966 Busoni Competition and 1968 Montreal Piano
Competition, the 1994 Avery Fisher Prize, and the 1998
University Musical Society Distinguished Artist Award in
Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Regarded as a leading exponent of Chopin, Mr. Ohls-
son performed in celebrations of the bicentenary of Cho-
pin’s birthday in 2010, including a gala concert at Chopin’s birth house in Warsaw
and all-Chopin recitals in Berkeley, La Jolla, New York, and Seattle. For the bi-
centenary of Franz Liszt’s birth last season, Garrick Ohlsson played recitals in
Chicago, Hong Kong, London, and New York.
Garrick Ohlsson commands a repertoire of some eighty concertos. He has
appeared as soloist with orchestras throughout the world, including the Deutsche
Symphony Berlin, Czech Philharmonic, Halle Orchestra, Russian National Or-
chestra, Salzburg Mozarteum, Sydney Symphony, and Warsaw Philharmonic,
among many others. In recent seasons, his engagements in this country have in-
cluded concerts with the orchestras of Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Dallas, Hous-
ton, New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, and San Francisco.
In recital, Mr. Ohlsson has presented the music of Scriabin and the compos-
er’s Russian contemporaries in the United States and Europe, and the complete
Beethoven piano sonatas at the Ravinia, Tanglewood, and Verbier festivals.
As a chamber musician, Garrick Ohlsson’s performances have included
collaborations with the Cleveland, Emerson, Takács, and Tokyo string quartets.
Along with violinist Jorja Fleezanis and cellist Michael Grebanier, Mr. Ohlsson is
a founding member of the San Francisco-based FOG Trio.
A prolifi c recording artist, Garrick Ohlsson can be heard on the Angel, Ara-
besque, BMG, Delos, Hänssler, Hyperion, Nonesuch, RCA Victor Red Seal, Te-
larc, and Virgin Classics labels. One of his ten Bridge Records recordings of the
complete Beethoven sonatas was granted a Grammy Award.

SHOS TAKOVICH made it known publicly that he composed the
great Tenth Symphony in the months following Stalin’s death,
which took place on March 5, 1953 (the same day as Prokofi ev’s
death). It is clear to us now, however, and was probably clear
to many of his friends then, that he had been working on the
symphony for several years — and that it was written under the
shadow of events in January 1948 when Andrei Zhdanov, the
politburo member with responsibility for the arts, led a purge
on Soviet musicians, with Shostakovich as the main target. An
important group of composers, which included both Shosta-
kovich and Prokofi ev, were singled out for their sins against
the ideals of Soviet music and in particular for “formalism,” the
recurrent catch-all accusation that had been heard in offi cial
pronouncements throughout the Stalinist era.
Of course all music is formal, and so, in a sense, it must
also be “formalist.” In this case, the State required music to serve
a political purpose, and that could only be done with words or
a message conveyed in song or on screen or even with just an
appropriate title. “Symphony” or “Concerto” or “String Quar-
tet” were vague and inadequate titles for the purpose — and
thus open to condemnation not simply for not supporting the
offi cial line but actually for subverting it.
At the moment when the purge occurred, Shostakovich
was engaged in composing a violin concerto written in admi-
ration of the playing of David Oistrakh. He continued writing
the concerto, but only in secret, and it could not be performed.
Shostakovich turned to fi lm music and choral works instead, as
his sole means of retaining recognition as a composer. But in
private, he was also working on string quartets and on a suc-
cessor to the Ninth Symphony of 1945. Sketches for the Tenth
in fact go back as early as 1946, and there is evidence that he
was working on it in 1951.
Th e year 1953 — and Stalin’s death — thus released the
backlog of music that had been waiting to be brought out in
public. Th e Violin Concerto was not ready until 1955, but the
Fourth and Fift h String Quartets were heard toward the end of
1953, along with the Tenth Symphony, presented on December 17
by the Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra under Shostakovich’s
leading interpreter of the day, Yevgeny Mravinsky. Th e Tenth

was soon acclaimed in the West as one of the composer’s ma-
jor works. International recognition of Shostakovich as a lead-
ing living composer dated back to his First Symphony in 1925,
but Shostakovich’s standing across the West was reenforced by
new works in the 1950s and for the last twenty
years of his life. His writing was widely appre-
ciated as a counterblast to the craze for serial
and atonal music that gripped many young
composers, especially in the United States.
Interpreting the Tenth Symphony, as with
any work by Shostakovich, presents immense
problems. From his many years grappling with
offi cialdom, he had learned to dissemble and
mask his true feelings about what he created.
In addition, he was a very private, not to say
inscrutable, individual.
All these circumstances allow us to adopt
almost any view of his work, but without any
certainty that our view will coincide with his.
Th e layers of irony are deep. What seem to be
depictions of misery or horror may be nothing
of the kind. Th e hollow hymns of triumph may not be hollow.
He was indeed a “formalist” composer, deeply concerned with
the structure and shape of his music, always looking for new
ways to insert contrast or its opposite, hinting at references that
may be decoys, and extracting veins of gold from the traditional
large orchestra.
T H E M U S I C
Of the Tenth Symphony’s four parts, the fi rst movement is
the longest and perhaps the bleakest, giving prominence (as does

the whole symphony) to the leading woodwinds. A clarinet, for
example, is the fi rst to join the strings’ opening meditations, and
a low fl ute is the fi rst to present an important new theme later on.
Two lonely piccolos are heard at the close. Th e music is in no hurry.
Twice the music rises to fearsome climaxes, fed on the frightening
rap of the snare drum and the weight of the full brass.
Th e raw energy of the second movement is unrivaled in
20th-century music, like a runaway train. Is it exultation or
fury? It’s hard to say. Over the wild gambols of the rest, the
brass occasionally stamp out what sounds like an Orthodox
Russian chant. What can that mean?
Th e relaxed air of the third movement is more than wel-
come, and it becomes more personal when Shostakovich gradu-
ally hones in on his personal signature, the D-S-C-H motif that
permeated a number of his later works. Th is was created from
the way his name is spelled in German, as Dmitrij SCHosta-
kowitsch, and the fact that in German the note of E-fl at is “Es”
(and thus S) and B-natural is H:
Another prominent tune that keeps recurring on the horn seems
planets away from the tone and color of the movement. Th is too
has been shown to have an explanation as ELMIRA, the name of
one of his female students, although, as before, the signifi cance
of her intrusion in the symphony is a mystery:
Th e movement concludes with what sounds like a corny brass
band playing loose with D-S-C-H, as if in mockery.
Before the true fi nale begins, there is a thoughtful introduc-
tion featuring oboe and bassoon and casting a veil of mystery.
Th is is dispelled in the exuberant fourth movement Allegro,
whose climax is a triumphant writing-on-the-wall of the let-
ters D-S-C-H. Triumph or cataclysm? It could be either. It is
certainly an exhilarating musical experience whatever we read
into its meaning.—Hugh Macdonald © 2013
Shostakovich composed his
Tenth Symphony during the
summer and autumn of 1953,
although some thematic
material may date from the
previous two years. It was
premiered in Leningrad on
December 17, 1953, by the
Leningrad Philharmonic
Orchestra conducted by
Yevgeny Mravinsky. The fi rst
United States performance
took place on October 14,
1954, with the New York
Philharmonic under Dimitri
Mitropoulos’s direction.
This symphony runs just
over 50 minutes in perfor-
mance. Shostakovich scored
it for 3 fl utes (second and
third doubling piccolo), 3
oboes (third doubling english
horn), 3 clarinets (third
doubling bass clarinet), 3
bassoons (third doubling
contrabassoon), 4 horns, 3
trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba,
timpani, percussion (snare
drum, bass drum, cymbals,
tam-tam, triangle, tambou-
rine, xylophone), and strings.
The Cleveland Orchestra
fi rst performed Shostako-
vich’s Tenth Symphony in
December 1967 under David
Oistrakh’s direction. The
most recent performances
were given as part of the
2011 Blossom Music Festival,
led by David Afkham, and
in November 2007 at Sever-
ance Hall, under the baton of
Pinchas Steinberg.

72 The Cleveland Orchestra
Meet Margaret MitchellCleveland Orchestra Heritage Society Co-Chair, member, and Heritage Society ambassador on WCLV
How many years have you been attending Orchestra concerts?Bill and I have been going to Orchestra concerts ever
since we were married and came to Cleveland — sixty
years. We spent many family summer evenings at Blos-
som when our children were young.
Your favorite composer?I really love the ability of the Orchestra to play any music
well, so I have to say I like whatever the Orchestra plays.
But Mahler and Bruckner are classical favorites; Ives and
Adams, among more recent composers.
Your most memorable concerts?Because of the different venues, Dvořák’s “New World”
Symphony in old Lucerne; Shostakovich in Miami. Proko-
fiev’s Fifth Symphony — the final movement encore in the
Canary Islands. It’s difficult to pick out a favorite at Severance. I love most all of them.
And, in Margaret’s own words, from her WCLV invitation to Orchestra lovers everywhere . . .
Bill and I think The Cleveland Orchestra makes Cleveland a great place to live.
— the superb concerts.
— the talented orchestra musicians who contribute much to our community
and represent us so well around the world.
— the education programs building future audiences.
These are some of the reasons we created a planned gift, securing lifelong income
for us. It also makes sense for the Orchestra, helping to build the endowment.
We want The Cleveland Orchestra that we love to enrich the lives of our children
and grandchildren as it has for us. With your own planned gift, please join us
as proud members of the Heritage Society.

The Cleveland Orchestra’s catalog of recordings
continues to grow. The newest DVD features Bruckner’s
Eighth Symphony recorded live at Severance Hall under
the direction of Music Director Franz Welser-Möst in 2010
and released in May 2011. And, released in
2012, Dvořák’s opera Rusalka on CD, recorded
live at the Salzburg Festival. Writing of the
Rusalka performances, the reviewer for
London’s Sunday Times praised the perform -
ance as “the most spellbinding account
of Dvořák’s miraculous score I have ever
heard, either in the theatre or on record.
. . . I doubt this music can be better played than by the
Clevelanders, the most ‘European’ of the American or-
chestras, with wind and brass soloists 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.

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.

Carl Orff ’s joyous Carmina Burana bursts forth
like a boisterous street festival — fi lled with
great music, marvelous mayhem, and delightful
merriment. This modern-day Canterbury Tales
comes complete with lusty hymns to spring-
time, animated drinking songs, and a swan’s
anguishingly ironic farewell to life (on a barbe-
cue spit!). The concert also features the world
premiere of a new work by Sean Shepherd.
