Burk New Hampshire Bruckner was born in Ansfelden, Upper Austria, on September 4 1824; he died in Vienna on October 11 1896. He composed the Seventh symphony in the years 1882 and 1883. Arthur Nikisch conducted the premiere at the Stadttheater in Leipzig on December 30 1884. The first performance in the United States was given in Chicago by the orchestra of Theodore Thomas on July 29 1886. Boston audiences heard the symphony for the first time on January 5 1887 when Wilhelm Gericke conducted the Boston Symphony. The instrumentation: 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 3 trombones, 4 Wagner tubas, bass tuba, timpani, cymbals, triangle and strings. The score is dedicated to King Ludwig II of Bavaria. Windsor Hill RESORT CONDOMINIUMS Studios, 1, 2, and 3 Bedrooms from under©$25,000 Jennings Peak Rd. Waterville Valley, N.H.

The answer came from Leipzig, where, on the next day, a young Suburban Homemaking enthusiast and ex-pupil of the sixty-year-old Bruckner gave the Seventh and Maternity Agency, Inc. 232-7650 symphony its first performance. The place was the Stadttheater; the BROOKLINE FR 879-1516 conductor Arthur Nikisch. It was one of his flaming readings — an AM INGHAM unmistakable act of revelation which the audience applauded for fifteen minutes. As Bruckner took his bows, obviously touched by the demon- stration, one of the critics was moved to sentiment: 'One could see from the trembling of his lips and the sparkling moisture in his eyes how difficult it was for the oid gentleman to suppress his deep emotion. 11 2530 252 WINTER DREAMS 1 Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 1 Richard Strauss: Also sprachZarathustra Boston Symphony Orchestra Boston Symphony Orchestra • William Steinberg BOSTON Michael Tilson Thomas SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA 2707 054 (2 LP's) 2530 357 2530145 Deutsche Grammophon Records, MusiCassettes and 8-Track Stereo Cartridges are distributed in the USA by Polydor Incorporated; in Canada by Polydor Ltd. fiRft#ft£97hyS(£ His homely but honest countenance beamed with a warm inner happi- ness such as can appear only on the face of one who is too good-hearted to succumb to bitterness even under the pressure of most disheartening THE PLACE TO BUY circumstances. Having heard his work and now seeing him in person, we asked ourselves in amazement, "How is it possible that he could EVERYTHING remain so long unknown to us?" ' from what's in style quick The symphony of the hitherto almost unknown Bruckner made a to what's traditional and triumphant progress. Hermann Levi gave it in Munich (March 10 1885) and made the remark that this was 'the most significant symphonic work since 1827'. An obvious dig at Brahms, who had lately made some * * * stir in the world with three symphonies. Karl Muck, another youthful admirer of Bruckner, was the first to carry the symphony into Austria, OPEN THURSDAY EVENINGS UNTIL 8:30 conducting it at Graz. Even Vienna came to it (a Philharmonic concert led by Richter, March 21 1886). Bruckner tried to prevent the perform- ance by an injunction, fearing further insults, but the success of the work drowned out the recalcitrant minority. Even Dr Hanslick was compelled to admit that the composer was 'called to the stage four or five times after each section of the symphony', but he held out against the music with the stubbornness of a Beckmesser, finding it 'merely bombastic, sickly, and destructive'. When the Seventh symphony was introduced to Vienna, it had become a sort of obligation upon the composer's adopted city. Sensational 1-HOUR FREE PARKING at the reports of some of the performances elsewhere reminded Vienna that Church Street Garage (right next door) the composer they had hardly noticed through the years was being discovered as a symphonist to be reckoned with. Thus Bruckner was for the first time included in the subscription programs of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. Circumstances were otherwise unfavorable, ^ * * for the Wagner haters were necessarily Bruckner haters, and a success such as the new Symphony had had in Leipzig, Munich and Graz could not be countenanced. 31 CHURCH ST. • CAMBRIDGE UNiversity 4-2300 The concert began at 12.30 (What was lunchtime in Vienna?) and traversed an overture by Mehul and a piano concerto of Beethoven before the audience was subjected to the difficult new work.

  • 100 Percent Americanism in the Concert Hall: the Minneapolis Symphony in the Great War
    100 Percent Americanism in the Concert Hall: The Minneapolis Symphony in the Great War Michael J. Pfeifer In 1918 a Minnesota music critic assessed a Minneapolis Symphony concert warmly, noting that the orchestra’s recent “racial house-cleansing” – a purge of some of the orchestra’s German and Austrian-born musicians – had not com- promised the quality of the ensemble’s playing. While the critic believed that “like gasoline and whiskey, music and war really ought not to have anything in particular to do with each other”, he nonetheless judged it well worthwhile from a “standpoint of musical interest” to hear the orchestra “magnificently” perform the national anthems of the Allied nations that opened the concert. Earlier, at the beginning of the 1918–1919 season, members of the Minneapolis Symphony had been required to sign loyalty oaths to the United States, while a cellist had been compelled to leave the orchestra for a period because he sup- posedly had hung portraits of the Kaiser and his wife over his fireplace (these were actually pictures of “the deceased Austrian emperor Franz Josef and his wife”).1 While the Minneapolis Symphony and its Munich-born founder Emil Oberhoffer (1867–1933) did not encounter the extreme repercussions that led to the arrest, internment, and deportation of Karl Muck (1859–1940) and Ernst Kunwald (1868–1939), respectively the German and Austrian conductors of the Boston Symphony and the Cincinnati Symphony,2 a significant nativist, anti- German, backlash did mark the orchestra’s experience of the latter years of the Great War. The upper Midwestern state of Minnesota was substantially German in nativity and ancestry at the outbreak of the war, which may have mitigated some of the harshly jingoistic reaction that German ­symphonic * I am grateful to Frank Jacob and William H.

Prelude (a: December 11, 1927); Act 1-Transformation & Grail Scenes (b: July/ August, 1927); Act 2-Flower Maidens' Scene (b: July/August, 1927); Act 3 (a: with G. Pistor, C. Bronsgeest, L. Hofmann; slightly abridged; October 10-11and13-14, 1928). Karl Muck conducted Parsifal at every Bayreuth Festival from 1901 to 1930. His immediate predecessor was Franz Fischer, the Munich conductor who had alternated with Hermann Levi during the premiere season of 1882 under Wagner's own supervi­ sion. And Muck's retirement, soon after Cosima and Siegfried Wagner died, brought another changing of the guard; Wilhelm Furtwangler came to the Green Hill for the next festival, at which Parsifal was controversially assigned to Arturo Toscanini. It is difficult if not impossible to tell how far Muck's interpretation of Parsifal reflected traditions originating with Wagner himself. Muck's act-by-act timings from 1901 mostly fall within the range defined in 1882 by Levi and Fischer, but Act 1 was decidedly slower-1:56, compared with Levi's 1:47 and Fischer's 1:50. Muck's timing is closer to that of Felix Mottl, who had been a musical assistant in 1882, and of Hans Knappertsbusch in his first and slowest Bayreuth Parsifal. But in later summers Muck speeded up to the more "normal" timings of 1:50 and 1:47, and the extensive recordings he made in 1927-8, now republished by Opal, show that he could be not only "sehr langsam" but also "bewegt," according to the score's requirements.

Through this passage of time many changes have been made in the original design. The early instruments shown in drawings on the tomb of Rameses II (1292-1225 B.C.) were richly decorated but lacked the fore-pillar. Later the "Kinner" developed by the Hebrews took the form as we know it today. The pedal harp was invented about 1720 by a Bavarian named Hochbrucker and through this ingenious device it be- came possible to play in eight major and five minor scales complete. Today the harp is an important and familiar instrument providing the "Exquisite Sound" and special effects so important to modern orchestration and arrange- ment.
