Perspectives from the Executive Director

7Severance Hall 2012-13

Autumn 2012

Welcome to the new season — Franz Welser-Möst’s eleventh year

as music director. The months ahead promise exciting music and

creative innovation, alongside our continuing dedication to artistic

excellence and community service.

The Cleveland Orchestra and Franz have just returned from this

summer’s European Festivals tour. Once again, their performances

were lauded and applauded from Scotland to Salzburg and from Lucerne to Linz.

Many music critics, in the midst of praising the Orchestra’s overall artistry, focused on

the extraordinary string section — including this quote from Südwest Presse: “This

string section can clearly do anything perfectly, and Welser-Möst was able to demon-

strate that fact with brio.” Additional excerpts of reviews from the European Festivals

tour can be found on page 25 of this program book.

The Cleveland Orchestra is devoted to nourishing hearts and minds — through musi-

cal performances and education programs. We are devoted to economic vitality — as

Ohio’s most visible international ambassador, proudly carrying the name of our great

city everywhere we go. And we are devoted to community service. The Orchestra is

in the midst of a renaissance of spirit, as we commit ourselves to being ever more rel-

evant to our hometown in a modern and changing world.

Over the summer, we announced a series of new and innovative programs for the com-

ing season. These include the Orchestra’s first fully staged performances of Tchaikovsky’s

The Nutcracker, presented with The Joffrey Ballet the week after Thanksgiving at Playhouse-

Square. We’re also continuing our return to the public schools, with a fourth year of per-

formances at area high schools. And we’re introducing the expansion of “Under 18s Free”

to select concert series here at Severance Hall. Next spring, we continue our collaborative

partnership performing at the Cleveland Museum of Art, and we launch the Orchestra’s

first Neighborhood Residency in Cleveland’s Gordon Square Arts District. Details of these

and other programs can be found beginning on page 26 of this program book.

We owe a debt of gratitude to the generous donors and sponsors who are funding

these new activities alongside our core programming. And we invite you, our loyal

friends, to consider your own investment in the continuation of these initiatives. Please

be counted among the many who ensure the success of this great orchestra, through

your participation and financial support.

P.S.

Included in this fall’s elections is an operating levy for the Cleveland Metropolitan

School District. Promoted as the “Right Plan, Right Now,” the success of this funding

initiative for education will make a critical difference for Northeast Ohio’s future —

and I urge everyone to learn more, to volunteer, and to support the campaign

by visiting www.rightplanrightnow.com.

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.

Franz Welser-Möst has led a series of opera performances during his tenure

Music Director

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 will conduct the New Year’s Day concert again in

2013 and will also lead the Philharmonic in a series of concerts at New York’s Carne-

gie Hall in March 2013. Across a decade-long tenure with the Zurich Opera, culmi-

nating 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.

2012 European Festivals Tour draws praise for Welser-Möst and Cleveland Orchestra The following are excerpted from press reviews of the Orchestra’s performances

during its European Festivals Tour August 18 to September 3:

“If the strings are the heart and soul of the symphony orchestra, then The Cleve-

land Orchestra is essentially in terrific shape. . . . It was the full-bodied attack of

the strings in the gutsy opening bars, and their brilliantly delicate and muted

virtuosity in the second movement, that were the icing on the cake.”

—The Scotsman, August 22, 2012

“The Cleveland Orchestra is often described as the aristocrat among American

orchestras. If ‘aristocratic’ means spellbinding finesse in sound and style, then their first Ed-

inburgh Festival concert certainly came up trumps. . . . The music we heard gave a lot of pleasure,

largely because it was shrewdly chosen to show off the Clevelanders’ fabulous sheen and warmth.

—Telegraph, August 22, 2012

“In this one heard a courageous Bruckner, unafraid of dissonances, magnificently brought alive

by Franz Welser-Möst and his Cleveland Orchestra..”

—Deutschland Radio, August 25, 2012

“Representing the ruins of a demolished tower of concrete and lead, Matthias

Pintscher orchestrates a catastrophic destruction in his Chute d’Étoiles (‘Falling

Stars’). Metallic explosions of sound run into the calm of a post-apocalyptic ‘sea of

lead,’ and it is left to two solo trumpets to drive this cycle of destruction and new

creation forward. . . . Michael Sachs and Jack Sutte performed with great verve

and in a mirage-like whisper, using idioms not far removed from free jazz; they

gradually soar to a state of golden splendor.”

—Die Südotschweiz, August 27, 2012

“The host of strings (eight double basses, an unusual complement of twelve violas

seated on the conductor’s right, etc.) was amazing — a sound mass with a lot of

fighting power. . . . This string section can clearly do anything perfectly, and Welser-

Möst was able to demonstrate that fact with brio.”

—Südwest Presse, August 29, 2012

“[In Smetana’s Má Vlast] Welser-Möst had the harpist touch the strings with great subtlety, and

the wiry immediacy of the strings (with William Preucil as concertmaster) was striking.”

—Stuttgart Nachrichten, August 29, 2012

“[In Smetana’s The Moldau] the coloring was precise, almost pointillistic, the tempo flowing and

animated, with furious explosive power and dramatic brio in the passage of the cataracts, and with

silky sparkle in the violins for the scene of the mermaids in the silvery moonlight. The conductor

thoroughly cleansed this earworm from all the patina of spa concerts. The familiar sounded excit-

ingly new — this was definitely worth listening to carefully.”

—Esslinger Zeitung, August 29, 2012

In the 2012-13 season, The Cleveland Or-

chestra continues its innovations in program-

ming and community engagement, seeking to

build on the success of recent initiatives. The

coming season’s innovations include new pro-

gram and audience development activities at

Severance Hall, alongside expanded activities

outside the concert hall.

The Orchestra will venture even farther

outside its University Circle home with new

programs downtown and on Cleveland’s West

Side. At PlayhouseSquare, the Orchestra will col-

laborate with The Joffrey Ballet, while the orga-

nization’s ground-breaking residency program,

developed and refined by the Orchestra in cities

including Vienna and Miami, will come home

to Northeast Ohio with the launch of a new

program of Neighborhood Residencies. The

first annual Cleveland Orchestra Neighborhood

Residency will take place in Gordon Square the

week of May 13-19, 2013. Also this season, the ini-

tiative that brought the full Orchestra back into

the schools in 2009 will continue and become a

permanent part of the annual schedule thanks

to a newly-created endowment fund, and a new

partnership with Breakthrough Charter Schools

begins in October 2012.

Meanwhile, “Under 18s Free,” a program

first established for the 2011 Blossom Festival,

will come inside Severance Hall for selected con-

certs, and as the unique Fridays@7 Series enters

its fourth season, a bold repertoire move sees

world music migrating from the @fter-party en-

tertainment to the main-stage concert with the

Orchestra. The KeyBank Fridays@7 series open-

ing on October 5 features the music of Stewart

Copeland, founder and drummer of The Police,

and a collaboration with the Rock and Roll Hall

of Fame & Museum.

In announcing the new initiatives in Au-

gust, Gary Hanson, executive director of The

Cleveland Orchestra, said, “We want to build on

the success of our many recent community en-

gagement initiatives, and in the coming season

we are further diversifying our schedule and

programs. Our goal is to be even more relevant

to our community.”

CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENCY

The Cleveland Orchestra Neighborhood

Residency is a new program to immerse the

Orchestra in local communities with an intense

schedule of performances and activities. The

first of these annual residencies in Northeast Ohio

takes place the week of May 13-19, 2013, in Gor-

don Square. The centerpieces of the Residency

will be free Cleveland Orchestra concerts at St.

Colman Church for neighborhood residents and

students, and musicians will perform as soloists

and in ensembles in non-traditional locations and

in local schools. The Cleveland Orchestra Neigh-

borhood Residency at Gordon Square is funded

in part by the Machaskee Fund for Community

Programming, an endowed fund created by Alex

and Carol Machaskee.

Sean Watterson, co-owner of the Happy Dog

bar, restaurant, and music venue in Gordon Square,

said, “We’re incredibly enthusiastic about the Or-

chestra coming to Gordon Square. We’re thrilled

that people in our community will be able to expe-

rience their world-class performances at a series of

events for all ages throughout the neighborhood.

We’re proud to welcome the world to Gordon

Square to join us for this unique experience.”

HIGH SCHOOL PERFORMANCES PERMANENTLY ENDOWED

The Cleveland Orchestra returned to per-

forming in Cleveland high schools in 2009, after

an absence of more than three decades. On

Thursday, October 11, 2012, the Orchestra’s per-

formance at Shaker Heights High School will be

the first to be supported by a newly established

fund that permanently endows annual Cleveland

Orchestra performances in area high schools.

The Alfred Lerner In-School Performance Fund, a

gift of $1 million from Mrs. Norma Lerner and The

Lerner Foundation, will support concerts in high

schools in perpetuity. Performances are being

NEW PARTNERSHIP WITH BREAKTHROUGH CHARTER SCHOOLS

The Cleveland Orchestra begins an educa-

tional partnership with Breakthrough Charter

Schools in October 2012. All of the students

from participating schools will attend a Cleve-

land Orchestra concert at Severance Hall, and

their teachers will participate in professional de-

velopment workshops and concert preparation.

The Orchestra’s award-winning Learning Through

Music program includes ongoing visits from

Cleveland Orchestra musicians in the schools.

The pilot partnership will eventually expand to

incorporate all nine Breakthrough Schools.

The Cleveland Orchestra partnership with

Breakthrough Schools is funded in part by

Cliffs Natural Resources. Breakthrough Charter

Schools are a nationally-recognized network of

high-performing, free, public charter schools

operating in partnership with the Cleveland

Metropolitan School District.

“UNDER 18s FREE” EXPANDSFROM BLOSSOM TO SEVERANCE HALL

The Cleveland Orchestra’s “Under 18s Free”

at Blossom program is expanding to Severance

Hall. This follows the unprecedented success

of the program for Blossom Festival concerts,

where, since its inception in 2011, more than

23,000 young people have attended Cleveland

Orchestra concerts. “Under 18s Free” at Sever-

ance Hall tickets are available for all KeyBank

Fridays@7 concerts, as well as for the Orchestra’s

two regular matinee series: Friday Mornings at

11 and Sundays at 3. Free tickets are offered for

young people ages 7-17

on a one-for-one basis

with paid adult admis-

sions. “Under 18s Free”

tickets are available by

contacting the Severance

Hall Ticket Office.

“Under 18s Free” is

supported in part by The

Cleveland Orchestra’s

Center for Future Audi-

ences. The Center, created

with a lead endowment

gift from the Maltz Family

Foundation, was estab-

lished to fund programs to

develop new generations

of audiences for Cleveland

Orchestra concerts in

Northeast Ohio.

The Cleveland Orchestra’s Fridays@7 series

takes a new turn this season, incorporating

world music and American roots music into the

Orchestra’s classical programs. The popular

series, now in its fourth season, is sponsored by

KeyBank and features four concerts during the

2012-13 season, each combining a Cleveland

Orchestra concert with pre- and post-concert

performances of world music.

Gamelan D’Drum, composed by Stewart

Copeland, drummer and founder of The Po-

lice, is featured in the first performance of the

series on October 5. Copeland will be at Sever-

ance Hall for the Cleveland premiere featuring

D’Drum, a five-member world percussion en-

semble from Texas. The percussionists join the

Orchestra and conductor James Feddeck in the

“unconventional” and “exotic” work that fea-

tures 70 multi-cultural percussion instruments.

American

folk music influ-

enced the Banjo

Concerto by Béla

Fleck, a work programmed on the

second performance of the

series, on December 7. In writing the concerto,

Fleck says he wanted to “explore the new pos-

sibilities of the banjo as a member of the or-

chestra, while respecting its roots in bluegrass

and jazz.” Banjo virtuoso Béla Fleck joins the

Orchestra and conductor Giancarlo Guerrero to

perform the concerto in its Cleveland premiere.

The KeyBank Fridays@7 Series pairs orches-

tral programs at 7 p.m. with the discovery of

different types of world music in post-concert

performances by ensembles in the lobbies of

Severance Hall. The season’s other two pro-

grams are January 18 and May 24.

New album with ClevelandOrchestra and Mitsuko Uchida is now available . . .

The third of Mitsuko Uchida’s albums of

Mozart concertos with The Cleveland Orches-

tra has been released — and is now avail-

able for purchase at the Cleveland Orchestra

Store at Severance Hall. The album features

Piano Concertos Nos. 9 and 21,

recorded in live performances at

Severance Hall. One of the previ-

ous discs from this collaboration

received a Grammy Award in

2011.

Reviews of this new album

include these comments from

Audio Audition: “Conducting

Mozart concertos from the piano

has a long and honored tradi-

tion, originating with the composer himself.

. . . Uchida performs on a new Hamburg

Steinway whose action remains uniformly

light and resonant, especially as Uchida does

not mince her dynamics. . . . We need only

audition this fine collaboration to enjoy the

scintillating energy of the outer movements

[of Concerto No. 9] and the internal rigors of

the Andantino movement. The last move-

ment virtually bubbles with infectious wit

and digital confidence. . . . The give-and-take

response between Uchida and The Cleve-

land strings and winds attractively beguiles

us. Then, her seamless runs and arpeggios

move inexorably to a bravura cadenza almost

early Beethoven in

its briefly pearly wit

that rushes to a coda

spread over three

octaves. Superb!”

Comings and goings

As a courtesy to the performers

on stage and the entire audience, late-

arriving patrons cannot be seated until the

first break in the musical program.

includes program notes commenting

on and providing background about

the composer and his or her work

being performed that week, along

with biographies of the guest artists

tions around Cleveland to explore the

music being played each week and the

stories behind the composers’ lives.

Free Concert Previews are pre-

sented one hour before most subscrip-

tion concerts throughout the season

portunity for audience members to ask

I N T R O D U C I N G T H E P R O G R A M

A Brief Look at a Long Symphony

F R O M I T S H U M B L E B E G I N N I N G S as an instrumental appetizer for

an opera or an oratorio, the musical genre called symphony grew in ex-

pressive and philosophical capacity through the works

of Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Bruckner, and

Tchaikovsky (to name a few of the form’s master ar-

chitects). Most historians would agree that this trend

reached its zenith in the symphonies of Gustav Mahler,

with their multiplicity of movements and vastness of in-

strumental (and oft en vocal) forces.

Mahler’s Th ird Symphony holds the distinction of

being the longest of this composer’s nine symphonies,

or indeed of any piece by that title in the standard rep-

ertoire. Present-day audiences, accustomed to sitting

through a movie for an hour and a half, generally have

no problem with the Th ird’s similar duration, especially

since the composer has fi lled the work’s six movements with a wonderful

variety of instrumental color and emotional expression.

Composed during Mahler’s summer holiday at Lake Attersee in

1896, the Th ird Symphony is rooted in that region’s spectacular Alpine

scenery, which provided the inspiration for a mode of expression that

strives constantly upward. As the composer succinctly put it, over the

course of the work he “imagined the constantly increasing articulation of

feeling, from the brooding, rigid, elementary forces of nature, to the tender

creations of the human heart, which in turn reach out beyond themselves,

pointing the way to God.”

Mahler once summarized the fi rst movement as “Summer marches

in,” and indeed two march themes (a Mahler favorite rhythm) contend

for dominance, one dirge-like, the other full of hope. In keeping with the

character of this symphony, hope wins out in the end.

Relief from this mighty symphonic battle comes with a delicate sec-

ond movement in minuet tempo, whose piquant instrumental colors were

(the composer suggested) inspired by Alpine wildfl owers.

Th e third movement is a bustle of human activity with interludes

featuring a posthorn, an instrument with rustic and nostalgic connota-

tions for an Austrian audience circa 1900, much as a train whistle would

have for many Americans today.

Continuing to turn his gaze upward, Mahler closes the symphony

with three linked movements that call the listener to spiritual realms.

A mysterious setting of a nocturnal poem by Friedrich Nietzsche

gives way to sparkling sunshine and the sound of children’s voices pro-

claiming salvation in a text derived from Austrian folk poetry.

Th e closing adagio movement evokes what the composer called

the “higher form of ‘quiet being’,” by transforming the symphony’s vig-

orous opening theme into one of those achingly tender, endless Mahler

melodies that lift the listener upward and upward, through one circle

aft er another of harmonic and orchestral color.

—David Wright

I N AU G U S T 1 8 9 6 , the young conductor Bruno Walter vis-

ited Gustav Mahler in the Carinthian Alps, shortly aft er the

composer had completed his Th ird Symphony. As he later re-

called, Walter stood gaping at the spectacular mountain scen-

ery, and Mahler said to him, “No need to look! I have already

composed it all!”

Mahler’s eagerness to embrace in his music everything in

nature, in heaven, in hell, and in the human heart can be seen

as the last fl ing of Romantic idealism. But perhaps, given the

irony and “relativity” that Mahler also keenly felt — one might

even say suff ered from — his artistic goals were an Einstein-

like eff ort to make sense of the seemingly anomalous, to fi nd

a unifi ed theory of everything. Th at would make Mahler very

much a citizen of the 20th century.

Th ere were no jokes about the scenery a few hours later

in Walter’s visit, when the composer sat at the piano to play his

new symphony for his guest. (We might think it impossible

for anyone, even the composer himself, to reproduce the sound

of a hundred-piece orchestra and chorus with just ten fi ngers

on a keyboard; but Mahler’s clear, lean orchestral style, with

its open counterpoint and sparing use of instrumental colors,

actually translates well to the piano.) As Walter recalled forty

41Severance Hall 2012-13 About the Music

years later in his book on Mahler, he felt an aura of greatness

in the room: “Th anks to our talks, full of the overfl ow of the cre-

ative frenzy of his morning’s work, I was familiar with the spiri-

tual atmosphere of the Symphony long before I knew its musical

content. Yet it was a shattering experience to hear him play it at

the piano. . . . Th is music made me feel I recognized him for the

fi rst time; his whole being seemed to breathe a mysterious affi n-

ity with the forces of nature. I had already guessed its depths,

its elemental quality; now, in the range of his creativity, I felt it

directly. . . . I saw him as Pan. At the same time, however — this

in the last three movements — I was in contact with the long-

ing of the human spirit to pass beyond its earthly and temporal

bonds. Light streamed from him onto his work, and from his

work onto him.”

Unfortunately for Mahler, not all ears were as attuned to

his music then as Walter’s were. In his zeal to be understood

— it was, aft er all, the age of Richard Strauss’s very explicit

program music — Mahler made several attempts to off er lit-

erary metaphors as movement titles for this symphony, both

in print and in conversations with friends. Th e music is quite

understandable without them, and in fact Mahler suppressed

them at the time of the premiere of the full symphony, which

he conducted in the Rhineland town of Crefeld on June 9, 1902.

(Individual movements, particularly the second, had been per-

formed previously in Berlin, Leipzig, and Budapest, to a mixed

reception.) Like many composers, Mahler did not have much

patience with explanations. Later that year, he wrote to another

conductor: “I have now given up for good any further commen-

tating, analyzing, or providing any listener’s aid whatever!”

Nonetheless, if we agree not to take them too literally,

Mahler’s titles can give us some clues to the expressive progress

of the symphony, and its philosophical underpinnings. While

writing it, he used the working title Die fröhliche Wissenschaft

(“Th e Joyful Knowledge”), aft er Nietzsche’s book of the same

name, and added the Shakespearean subtitle “A Summer Morn-

ing’s Dream.”

Individually, Mahler referred to the movements by vari-

ous titles at diff erent times; his last version, published in the program for a

performance of the second movement in Berlin on November 9, 1896, reads as

follows:

Th e symphony consists of the following six movements:

Introduction: “Pan awakes.”

No. 1. “Summer marches in.” (Bacchic procession.)

No. 2. “What the fl owers in the meadow tell me.” (Minuet.)

No. 3. “What the animals in the forest tell me.” (Rondeau.)

No. 4. “What man tells me.” (Alto solo.)

No. 5. “What the angels tell me.” (Women’s chorus with alto solo.)

No. 6 (Finale). “What love tells me.” (Adagio.)

As this scheme suggests, and the music confi rms, Mahler has composed a

fundamentally optimistic work, pointing ever upward. In an impatient let-

ter trying to describe the work to a friend, he said that his titles off er “some

suggestion of how I imagined the constantly increasing articulation of feeling,

from the brooding, rigid, elementary forces of nature, to the tender creations of

the human heart, which in turn reach out beyond themselves, pointing the way

to God.” And who would begrudge Mahler an hour and a half to cover that

much ground? Although this is the longest symphony in the standard reper-

toire — and today this is not such a test of attention as it used to be, since many

movies are longer than this piece — Mahler keeps it interesting by creating six

strongly characterized movements and, within each of them, much variety of

expression and orchestral color.

Th e fi rst movement is based on two march themes, one funereal, one

optimistic. Mahler was particularly attracted to marches, and to their various

meanings and functions in daily life. Th is extensive movement comes off as a

titanic, even cinematic struggle between dark and light, the former represented

by a piercingly dissonant short phrase that strikes again and again in D minor

and the latter by a buoyant march tune announced at the top of the movement,

inhibited at fi rst but then blossoming, and subjected to remarkable variations

at mid-movement, in place of a more conventional development section.

Mahler’s mastery of razor-sharp modern orchestration is everywhere in

evidence; it is just a few steps down the road from this music to Shostakovich’s

mordant wit and fury. Th e dirge-like D-minor theme, with its dire trombones

and muffl ed drums, is recapitulated right where it should be in classic sonata

form; the eff ect in this case is to suppress the lively, imaginative spirit of the

development. But the irrepressible march theme sprouts again, quietly, from

the cold ground, then swells inexorably, almost frighteningly, to the movement’s

sudden, fi erce conclusion.

Th e fi rst movement by itself constitutes Part I of the symphony, aft er

which Mahler’s score requests a long pause. Th e remaining fi ve movements

make up Part II.

Th e delicate second movement, marked Tempo di menu-

etto, starts out very much like the corresponding movement of

Brahms’s Second Symphony, but ventures off into exotically

colored variations à la Borodin or Rimsky-Korsakov. When

the texture dwindles to just a few string or wind instruments,

we are especially aware of those telling touches of percussion

that are Mahler’s hallmark.

Th e third movement is also in a moderate tempo between

slow movement and scherzo, but closer to the latter. Mahler

uses a “developing variation” technique with his dainty theme

that stems from Brahms, but with his own repertoire of or-

chestral sounds and harmonic twists. Th e variation-interlude

for a valved posthorn (a regular trumpet is occasionally substi-

tuted), repeated later in the movement, serves the purpose of a

trio section for this quasi-scherzo. For a turn-of-the-century

Austrian audience, the posthorn, which announced the daily

arrival of the mail coach, recalled both bygone times and eco-

nomic expansion, much as a train whistle does for Americans

of a certain age today. Mahler’s posthorn casts a mood of nos-

talgia over the end of the movement, but another fi erce coda

for the full orchestra strongly marks the end of the fi rst section

of Part II.

Th e concluding three movements are a poetic cycle in

themselves, performed without a break. (In an earlier version

of his metaphorical titles, Mahler digressed from his evolution-

ary plan to explore psychic and spiritual states of human be-

ings, calling the fourth movement “What night tells me” and

the fi ft h “What the morning bells tell me.”)

With this change come actual words in the music — a

nightsong from Nietzsche’s Also sprach Zarathustra, set in dark

hues for a low female voice, and a cheerful song about angels

from Des Knaben Wunderhorn (“Th e Youth’s Magic Horn”), a

classic collection of folk poetry that was Mahler’s touchstone

for composition during these same years. Th e composer’s tem-

po indication of “Very slow, mysterious” describes the fourth

movement’s rapt, hovering feeling; the music is also touched

with those unexpected moments of sudden tender emotion that

are another Mahler hallmark. Th e euphonious horns, a link

to the previous movement, seem to lift the singer up, against a

background of shimmering strings.

responded that

“higher form of

Mahler wrote his Third Symphony over the

course of two summers; movements 2 through

6 were written in 1895, the fi rst movement

in 1896. However, as early as 1893, he had

sketched two musical themes that eventually

found their way into the fi rst movement. In ad-

dition, the song “Ablösung im Sommer” (“Relief

in Summer”), on which the third movement was

based, was written about 1890.

Although movements from this symphony

were performed at concerts in 1896 (movement

2) and 1897 (mvts. 2, 3, and 6), the composer

conducted the premiere of the complete work

on June 9, 1902, at Krefeld.

This symphony runs about 95 minutes,

without intermission, in performance. Mahler

scored it for 4 fl utes (2 doubling piccolos),

4 oboes (one doubling english horn), 3 clarinets

(one doubling bass clarinet), 2 high clarinets

in E fl at, 4 bassoons (one doubling contra-

bassoon), 8 horns, 4 trumpets, posthorn,

4 trombones, contrabass tuba, timpani,

percussion (glockenspiel, snare drum, triangle,

tambourine, bass drum, suspended cymbals,

cymbal attached to the bass drum, tam-tam,

birch brush), 2 harps, strings, contralto solo,

women’s chorus, and children’s chorus.

The Cleveland Orchestra, Chorus, and

Children’s Chorus fi rst performed Mahler’s

Third Symphony in October 1969, under the

direction of Louis Lane. The most recent per-

formances were under the direction of Franz

Welser-Möst in October 2004 at Severance Hall,

and in August 2005 at Blossom and in Europe.

At a Glance

like the rising sun, evoke dawn in the fi ft h movement. Its jaunty

rhythm and bright colors of children’s and women’s voices bring

a message of salvation that is all the happier because it overcomes

moments of doubt and fear at mid-movement.

Th e closing sixth-movement adagio (marked “Slow, peaceful,

with feeling”) transforms the symphony’s vigorous opening theme

into one of those achingly tender, endless Mahler melodies that lift

the listener through one circle aft er another of harmonic and orches-

tral color. As the opening bars suggest, Beethoven is the model for

adagios on this immense scale, although Mahler has a sense of dra-

matic timing and orchestral space that is entirely his own. Critics, of

course, demanded to know why he ended his symphony with a slow

movement instead of a fast fi nale (as if Tchaikovsky hadn’t just done

so, to profound eff ect, in his Sixth Symphony). Mahler responded

that “in fast movements . . . everything is motion, change, fl ow,” while

a slow movement represents the “higher form of ‘quiet being’.”

Although this quiet is interrupted now and then by emotions

recalled from earlier movements (but not by the actual themes from

those movements), all is carried upward in the rising spiral of af-

fi rmation toward a D-major conclusion that is as peaceful, in the

inward sense, as it is fortissimo for the full orchestra.

Cleveland Orchestra bassist Mark Atherton with classroom students at Cleveland’s Mayfair Elementary School, part of the Learning Through Music program that fosters the use of music and the arts to support general classroom learning.

The Cleveland Orchestra helps celebrate the seasons and special events throughout the year. Above, the Orchestra’s horn section got into the Halloween spirit for a special fun-filled Family Concert.


El Sistema@Rainey performing at Severance Hall. The initiative is an intensive after-school orchestral music program launched in September 2011 by Cleveland Orchestra violinist Isabel Trautwein and Cleveland’s Rainey Institute. Modeled after the national Venezuelan program El Sistema (“the system”), the initiative emphasizes community-based orchestra training from a young age, with a focus on making music fun and inspiring young musicians with a passion for music and for life. The Cleveland Orchestra and education partner Conn-Selmer are the official providers of Scherl & Roth violins for the El Sistema@Rainey program, with instrument support from Royalton Music for El Sistema@Rainey Summer Camp.

symbol of the Heritage Society.

It represents eternal life and

recognizes the permanent benefi ts

of legacy gift s to Th e Cleveland

Orchestra’s endowment.

Said to be Elisabeth Severance’s

favorite fl ower, the lotus is found as

a decorative motif in nearly every

public area of Severance Hall.

Legacy & Planned Giving


Meet Nancy Dotson Cleveland Orchestra Heritage Society member, former State Chair of the Blossom Women’s Committee, and Heritage Society radio ambassador on WCLV

When did you begin attending Cleveland Orchestra concerts?Dick and I have lived in the area for 33 years and have

been attending concerts for most of those years.

What is your favorite concert experiencewith The Cleveland Orchestra?

Without a doubt, we will never forget the concert at Sever-

ance Hall several years ago with Sir Colin Davis and Mit-

suko Uchida and the Mozart Piano Concerto. Sitting in the

dress circle and seeing the interaction of these two icons and

Th e Cleveland Orchestra is something I will never forget.

What is your favorite memory of The Cleve-land Orchestra or Blossom Festival?

Dick and I have so many wonderful memories of Blossom

and Severance Hall. Living in Hudson and only 20 minutes from Blossom,

our summer revolves around the lyrical weekend evenings at Blossom. Sitting on

the Lawn with a glass of wine under the stars is our idea of a perfect date! Meeting

various members of Th e Cleveland Orchestra at the summer Gourmet Matinee

Luncheons or the Orchestra Picnic sponsored by the Blossom Women’s Committee

have also been special treats.

What reason do you suggest when extending an invitation to join the Heritage Society?

It is a very special privilege to have Th e Cleveland Orchestra so readily accessible

and convenient to attend. It is for these reasons that we made a decision to include

the Orchestra in our estate planning several years ago. Leaving a legacy for future

generations to enjoy this music and for the musicians to carry on the music is some-

thing we are happy we can do.

For information on membership in the Heritage Society,

contact Jim Kozel, Director of Legacy and Planned Giving,

Tickets are now on sale for the holiday event of

the season, as Th e Cleveland Orchestra presents Th e

Joff rey Ballet’s complete silver anniversary produc-

tion of Tchaikovsky’s Th e Nutcracker. Five perfor-

mances will be presented at Playhouse Square’s State

Th eatre November 29 thru December 2. Th e produc-

tion will be conducted by Tito Muñoz and mark the

fi rst time Th e Cleveland Orchestra has performed

Tchaikovsky’s Th e Nutcracker in a fully-staged pre-

sentation.

Conceived and originally directed in 1987 by

Robert Joff rey, with choreographic contributions

from Gerald Arpino, this production of Th e Nut-

cracker features more than 40 company dancers, 200

brilliant costumes, and larger-than-life scenery. Th e

Chicago Sun-Times called the Joff rey’s Nutcracker “a

grand showcase of classical technique that spotlights

the particular talents of many of the company’s en-

semble dancers,” the Chicagoist calls it “a fi rst-class

celebration of one of the greatest holiday productions

ever,” and the Washington Post praised it as “a theat-

rical event of irresistible power.”

Th e Cleveland cast of Th e Nutcracker will include sixty Northeast Ohio young

dancers, who will be selected by audition, dancing side-by-side with the Joff rey compa-

ny. Th e Cleveland Orchestra Children’s Chorus, comprised of fi ft y members, also joins

the performances to sing in the beautiful “Snow Scene.”

“Our company looks forward to once again joining Th e Cleveland Orchestra” says

Joff rey Ballet artistic director Ashley Wheater, “and in extending our wonderful part-

nership into a complete production. Our previous performances together at Blossom

have included elements of a full ballet, but this time we’ll have all the sets, costumes,

lighting, and the magnifi cent choreography of our founder Robert Joff rey.”

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.

BERLIOZ:SYMPHONIEFANTASTIQUEThursday September 27 at 8:00 p.m.Friday September 28 at 8:00 p.m.Saturday September 29 at 8:00 p.m.THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRAFranz Welser-Möst, conductorFrank Rosenwein, oboe

In his “Fantasy Symphony,” the young Berlioz

bared his soul in music — torturing himself

once again with the extreme passion he had

felt for his beloved. Through visions of dreams

and tantrums, opium-induced nightmares and

tender musical kisses, this masterpiece ends

with a death-defying “March to the Scaff old”

you won’t soon forget. Juxtaposed with this

madness, Cleveland Orchestra principal oboe

Frank Rosenwein takes centerstage for Richard

Strauss’s exhilaratingly masterful oboe con-

certo under Franz Welser-Möst’s direction.
