[4] "PELLfiAS AND MfiLISANDE," Orchestral Suite, Op. 80, TAKEN FROM THE StAGE MuSIC TO MaETERLINCK'S PlAY By Gabriel Faure
Born in Pamiers (Ari^ge), France, May 12, 1845; ^i^d in Passy, November 4, 1924
Composed in 1898, Faur^'s incidental music to Maeterlinck's play was first heard in the production given in London, June 21, 1898, with Mrs. Patrick Campbell. There was a performance at the Boston Theatre in Boston, also by Mrs. Campbell's company, April 12, 1902. The suite drawn from the music was first performed at a
Lamoureux concert in Paris, February 3, 1901. It was introduced in Boston at a concert of the New England Conservatory Orchestra, March 8, 1904. There was a performance by the Boston Symphony Orchestra, December 17, 1904, and again
December 2, 1905. Vincent d'Indy, as guest, conducted it March 18, 1911, Pierre Monteux, November 23, 1923, Serge Koussevitzky, April 21, 1939, December 29, 1939, April 20, 1945 (two movements); November 23, 1945 (Paul Paray, conducting). Charles Munch performed the Molto adagio in memory of Ginette Neveu, November 18, 1949. The Suite was performed under the direction of Ernest Ansermet, Decem- ber 14-15, 1951. iipELLEAS ET M^L/5^iVZ)£/' with Faure's incidental music, was • produced four years before the first performance of Debussy's opera on the same play (the play without music had been published in 1892 and first staged in Paris at the Bouffes Parisiens, May 17, 1893).

[5] The first of the four movements in Gabriel Faur^'s suite is the prelude to the play. Quasi adagio, it develops two themes of lyric character, and suggests the forest scene to come with a soft horn call.
The second movement, "Fileuse," is an entr'acte in preparation for the third act where, in a room in the castle, 'Tell^as and M^lisande are discovered, M^lisande spinning with a distaff at the back of the room." It is based upon a spinning figure in triplets (andantino quasi allegretto), which is given to the violins and occasionally alternated with the violas. The Adagio is from the closing scene, the death of M^lisande.

[6] SYMPHONY NO. 4 ("DELICIAE BASILIENSES") By Arthur Honegger
Born in LeHavre, March 10, 1892; died in Paris, November 27, 1955
This symphony, composed in 1946, had its first performance by the Orchestra of Basel, January 21, 1947. It was introduced to this country by Charles Munch conducting the Philharmonic Symphony Society of New York, December 30, 1948.
THE following is inscribed upon the autographed score: "This fourth and probably last symphony was written for my friend Paul Sacher on the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of the founding of the Baslerkammerorchestery* A note by the composer written for the programs of the Basel Orchestra on the occasion of the Symphony's first performance has been quoted in the programs of the New York Philharmonic Symphony Society in the following translation:
"If the Symphonie Liturgique more or less follows the tradition of Beethoven, being in its essence of a dramatic and affecting quality, the
* The words "This fourth and probably last symphony" indicate the later persuasion of Sersre Koussevitzky for whom he wrote his Fifth. Paul Sacher, who conducts a chamber orchestra in Zurich and in Basel, has received the dedication and given first performances to Richard Strauss' Metamorphoseon, Martinu's Toccata and Two Canzone, Martin's Petite Symphonie Concertante, Stravinsky's Concerto for Strings in D major, and Honegger's Symphony for Strings, as well as this one. Each of these works, except that by Martinu, has been per- formed by the Boston Symphony Orchestra.

[7] present one, on the contrary, more properly gives evidence of a connec- tion with Haydn or Mozart in its spirit and its form. The instrumen- tation, which comprises two flutes, oboe, two clarinets, bassoon, two horns, trumpet, piano, and percussion, in addition to strings, virtually relates it to chamber music. The writing is transparent and, above all, linear. "The first movement, dating from June, 1946, expresses precisely a 'state of spirit.' In the midst of odious and stupid conditions of life which are imposed upon us, it raises the hope of an escape from such an atmosphere, as, for instance, to spend a summer in Switzerland, surrounded by affectionate friends for whom the musical art still plays a major role. This expectation instills in the composer the urge to create. "The second movement is based on the old popular song of Basle Z'Basel an mi'm Rhi, which toward the end of the movement is cited entire in its original and ingenious form [horn]: l^ijiiiiininiiiii'iniipj^^ijjjiijiiiJi

The form con- tains elements of rondo, passacaglia, and fugue. From all of these superpositions there leaps forth the tune Easier Morgenstreich, which soars over the stretto of the principal theme, and after a reference to the slow episode of the middle of the movement, there is a quick con- clusion, like a cloud of dust which disappears. "Because of the quotations of these characteristic songs, but even more so for personal reasons, I have employed the subtitle Deliciae Basilienses [Baslerian Delights].

[9] CONCERTO NO. 2 IN B-FLAT MAJOR FOR PIANOFORTE AND ORCHESTRA, Op. 83 By Johannes Brahms Bom at Hamburg, May 7, 1833; died at Vienna, April 3, 1897 Composed in 1881, the concerto had its first performance at Budapest, November 9 of that year, with Brahms as soloist. The concerto has been performed with this orchestra by the following pianists: B. J. Lang (March 14, 1884); Carl Baermann (March 19, 1886); Rafael JosefEy (January 17, 1896); Adele Aus der Ohe (February 10, 1899) ; Rafael Joseffy (Decem- ber 30, 1904) ; Ossip Gabrilowitsch (February 15, 1907) ; Harold Bauer (February 25, 1916); Carl Friedberg (March 23, 1917) ; Ossip Gabrilowitsch (January 19, 1918) ; Felix Fox (November 21, 1919) ; Harold Bauer (December 7, 1923) ; Moriz Rosenthal (February 11, Artur Schnabel (Brahms Festival — March Ossip 1927); 23, 1930); — Gabrilowitsch (Brahms Festival — April 28, 1933) ; Josefa Rosanska (Tuesday series February 5, 1935) ; Beveridge Webster (Monday series — December 30, 1935); Artur Schnabel (April 10, 1936) ; Myra Hess (April 9, 1937); Artur Rubinstein (April 6, 1939); Leonard Shure (February 21, 1941); Nicole Henriot (February 9, 1951); Claudio Arrau (January 9, 1953). It is scored for 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani and strings. It is dedicated to "My dear friend and teacher, Eduard Marxsen." To Brahms, the making of a piano concerto was a serious matter. Twenty-two years had passed since his First, in D minor, had been introduced. Another one would have been eminently serviceable to him on his many concert tours as pianist, particularly since the First, after its original fiasco, had never been received by the public with open arms, even in the more devoted "Brahms" towns.

It was in April 1878, during Brahms' first journey in Italy, that, according to the testimony of his companion, Billroth, the concerto first began to take shape in his mind. Brahms, so Billroth tells us, com- pletely succumbed to the Italian spring, visited Rome, Naples, Sicily, and was "charmed with everything." Returning in May to Portschach, the lovely spot on the Carinthian Worther See which also gave birth to two scores of special melodic abundance — the Symphony in D major and the Violin Concerto, Brahms put his sketches upon paper. Three years later, the spring once more called Brahms to Italy. He returned to his beloved haunts and sought new ones in Venice, Florence, Pisa, Siena, Orvieto, Rome, and again Naples and Sicily. He returned to Vienna on May 7 (his forty-eighth birthday) , and on May 22 sought refuge at the villa of Mme. Heingartner in Pressbaum near by, pre- sumably for the completion of two scores: a setting of Schiller's "Nanie," and the concerto. It was on July 7 that he quietly told his intimately favored Elisabet that he had a concerto for her to see. Although one critic in Vienna found Brahms' playing "uneven and at times heavy," a decided success is reported from each city, with the 1959-1960 Program—SIXTH SEASON • ARTUR RUBEVSTEIN, "King of Pianists" TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1959 • HEXRYK SZERYNG, "Violin Virtuoso" WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 27, 1960 • RORERTA PETERS, "Met Coloratura" WEDNESDAY, MARCH 9, 1960 • EDEN and TAMIR, "Israeli Duo-Pianists" WEDNESDAY, MARCH 30, 1960 SERIES SUBSCRIPTIONS ONLY — No tickets for single concerts.

The Gewandhdusler, who were developing an actual admiration of Brahms the symphonist, evidently still considered that the last and all-sufficient word in pianoforte con- certos had been said by Mendelssohn. Brahms had asked Elisabet von Herzogenberg to send him the press notices, and the poor lady's store of tact, so often needed, was again called into play. She wrote: "Here are the desired bird-notes" (one of the critics was Vogel). "If you had not left definite orders, I should really be ashamed to send you such discreditable stuff, although, looked at in a humorous light, it has its charm." In brief, the critics were compelled by honesty to report a general coolness on the part of the public. It was the less tactful Billow who took his Meiningen Orchestra to Leipzig in March of that year, and making a speech at an all-Brahms concert, told the Leipzigers that he had arranged the program "by express command of his Duke, who had desired that the Leipzig public should know how the symphony (the First) should be performed; also to obtain satisfaction for the coldness manifested toward the composer on his appearance with the new concerto at the Gewandhaus on January i." Billow had affronted the Leipzig Orchestra before, and they had refused to play under him. Jones Warehouses, Inc.

It was January 31, 1895. Much water had flowed under the musical bridges. The once reluctant Leipzig had become a militant Brahms center. The public was by this time so thoroughly converted to Brahms that they sat through the two concertos played in a single evening (by Eugen d'Albert), and rejoiced in the experience!
