NOTES

Ludwig van Beethoven Symphony No. 2 in D, Opus 36

Ludwig van Beethoven was baptized in Bonn, Germany, on 17 December 1770 and died in

Vienna on 6 March 1827. The Second Symphony was composed during the summer and fall of

1802; its first performance took place on an all-Beethoven concert given at the Theater-an-der- Wien in Vienna on 5 April 1803 (the program also included the First Symphony as well as the premieres of the Third Piano Concerto and the oratorio "Christ on the Mount of Olives"). The symphony is scored for flutes, oboes, clarinets, bassoons, horns, and trumpets in pairs, timpani, and strings.

During the summer of 1802 Beethoven left Vienna for several months to live in the nearby suburb of Heiligenstadt, located in the low mountains to the northwest of

Vienna. Heiligenstadt would be but one in a lengthy list of temporary residences of the peripatetic Beethoven, were it not for one incident that took place there not long before he returned to the city. Having gone to Heiligenstadt in the first place on the advice of his doctor, who suggested that the rural quiet of the village might improve his hearing, which had already begun to concern him deeply, Beethoven fell into a deep, suicidal despair and on 6 October 1802 gave vent to his emotions by writing in a document now known as the Heiligenstadt Testament—a lengthy farewell that combined elements of self-justification (trying to explain his apparently misanthropic nature) with rhetorical moralisms on the importance of virtue (which, he says re- strained him from taking his own life) and passionate outbursts expressing his unhap- piness. After writing this document, Beethoven sealed it up in his papers (where it was discovered after his death, a full quarter of a century later) and went on with the business of living and composing. In any case, the musical works sketched and completed at Heiligenstadt that sum- mer—including the Opus 30 violin sonatas, the Opus 31 piano sonatas, and the Sec- ond Symphony—seem entirely to have avoided contamination from the mental world of the Heiligenstadt Testament. The symphony, while vigorous and energetic in the unmistakable early Beethoven manner, is nonetheless smiling throughout, filled with such musical wit as befits a composer who once studied, however briefly, with Haydn. At the same time the Second Symphony is a step forward on the path of the Nine, conquering wider terriotory than the First.

Following the slow introduction (which is already three times the length of that for the First Symphony), Beethoven presents thematic material that is little more than an arpeggiation of the tonic chord, animated by a rapid turn figure in the tune itself and an answering "fiery flash of the fiddles" (as Grove puts it). At the very outset of the Allegro, everything sounds straightforwardly formalistic, but the dovetailing of phrases soon prevents successful prediction of the next event. When the full orchestra takes up the theme, fortissimo, what started out as a simple D major arpeggio rushes up as far as a strongly accented C-natural, the first emphatic out-of-key note; it has consequences later on. The violins begin inserting a measured trill, which appears in every movement as a particular fingerprint of this symphony. The second theme is also straightforwardly simple, a marchlike arpeggiation of the dominant key pre- sented first on clarinets and bassoons. At the end of the recapitulation, all is prepared for a short coda, with a few perfunctory reiterations of the tonic D major triad, when the woodwinds suddenly insist on inserting a C-natural—the intrusive note from

early in the movement—into the tonic chord. This generates a much more extended coda, which takes on some of the elements of a new development section, something that was to be even more marked in the Third Symphony to come. The slow movement is one of the most leisurely Beethoven ever wrote ("indolent" is the word that most analysts have used to describe it). It is a full-scale slow-move- ment sonata form, complete with development and a good deal of internal repetition.

But for all its length, the Larghetto never loses momentum, and it remains deliriously pastoral throughout, with just momentary twinges of pain.

Beethoven uses the term "scherzo" here for the first time in a symphony; the corres- ponding movement of the First Symphony had been called a "menuetto," though it had passed far beyond the graceful character of that courtly dance. The third move- ment of the Second Symphony, though, is a hearty joke (which is what the word "scherzo" means) with whirlwind alternations of dialogue, tossing back and forth the basic three-note motive between the instruments, then suddenly bending one pitch to lead off to distant keys, only to return home with equal celerity. In the Trio, the strings roar in mock gruffness on the chord of F-sharp major, only to be reminded (by a fortissimo A from the woodwinds and brasses) that F-sharp is not the home key here, but simply the third of D, to which the chastened strings immediately return.

The finale is a wonderfully confident achievement, fusing Haydn's wit with Bee- thoven's newly won breadth and grandeur. The rondo style of the principal theme a pick-up tossed off in the upper instruments to be answered with a sullen growl lower down—forecasts wit, especially when Beethoven uses that little pick-up to mislead the ear. But the real breadth appears at the end, when a quiet, lyrical idea that has passed almost unnoticed as the transition between first and second themes now takes on an unexpectedly potent force and generates an enormous coda with a whole new developmental section, in which the measured tremolo of the strings, heard here and there throughout the symphony, returns with a fortissimo shake on the same C-natural that had upset the course of the home tonic back in the first move- ment. From here on the reaffirmation of that firm tonic is the main order of business, to bring the chain of events to a close. The size of the last movement and the extended coda clearly unsettled the critic for the Zeitungfur die elegante Welt, who wrote after the first performance: "Beethoven's

42 .

Second Symphony is a crass monster, a hideously writhing wounded dragon that refuses to expire, and though bleeding in the Finale, furiously beats about with its tail erect." One wonders what he thought of Beethoven's ensuing works. Basil Lam has noted acutely, apropos of this symphony, "In view of such music as this, let us not lapse into the still received opinion that Beethoven, after writing two promising symphonies, began to brood on Napoleon and found himself great with the Eroica." Beethoven's sense of proportion—which allows him to achieve the great- est effects with the simplest and most abstract materials— is already fully in operation with the Second Symphony. And, while the ways of genius are wondrous strange and no one lacking the advantage of hindsight could predict the extraordinary growth that was to come in the Third Symphony, it is not only unfair to patronize Beethoven's

Second as an "early work," as "complacently formal," it would be downright foolish.

Gustav Hoist The Planets, Suite for large orchestra, Opus 32

Gustav Hoist was born —Gustavus Theodore von Hoist— in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, England, on 21 September 1874 and died in London on 25 May 1934. He wrote The Planets between 1914 and 1916, beginning with Mars (but before the outbreak of war in August), con-

tinuing with Venus and Jupiter that fall, writing Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune in 1915, and finishing with Mercury in 1916. The first performances were private, one of a two-piano arrangement both made and played by Vally Lasker and Norah Day, Hoist's assistants at

St. Paul's School, where he was music master, and the other—of Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune only—by the Queen's Hall Orchestra under Dr. Adrian Boult on 29

September 1918. Venus was performed for the first time, along with Mercury and Jupiter, in

London on 22 November 1919, the composer conducting, and the first performance of the com- plete suite took place in London on 15 November 1920, Albert Coates conducting. In January

1932, while a visiting professor at Harvard, Hoist conducted the Boston Symphony in a pair of concerts of his own music, including The Planets. He reported then to Imogen Hoist, his daughter and future biographer: "The band treated me royally. At two of the rehearsals they

insisted on staying half an hour extra and at every possible occasion they cheered me. . . The only fault of the orchestra was that they were over anxious. On Friday's concert there were half a dozen extraordinary slips in the Planets; in the Perfect Fool Ballet the harpist missed a line, and

the water music sounded quite modern; while in the St. Paul's Suite I broke a collar stud. But

Saturday's concert was really good." The score of The Planets calls for four flutes, two piccolos, bass flute, three oboes, bass oboe, and English horn, three clarinets and bass clarinet, three bassoons and contrabassoon, six horns, four trumpets, three trombones, tenor and bass tubas,

six timpani, triangle, side drum, tambourine, cymbals, bass drum, gong, bells, glockenspiel,

celesta, xylophone, two harps, organ, strings, and, in the last movement, women's chorus.

Hoist's father was a piano teacher whose grandfather, who had once taught the harp to Imperial Grand Duchesses in St. Petersburg, had emigrated to England from Riga. His mother, a sweet lady whose jumpy nerves were upset by music, died young, and Gustav and his brother, Emil Gottfried (later a successful actor under the name of Ernest Cossard), were brought up by their Aunt Nina, who had once strewn rose petals for Franz Liszt to walk on. Gustav inherited his mother's overstrung

43 Week 10 nerves, and later in life he was several times to come near mental collapse. He was a timid child, so nearsighted that as a grown man he could not, even when wearing spectacles, recognize members of his own family at six yards. His nights alternated between insomnia and nightmares. Much of his life he suffered from neuritis so severe that he had to dictate some of his music, portions of the densely intricate orchestral score of The Planets, for example. He played violin and keyboards as a boy, but the neuritis put a stop to both, and other than occasional conducting, his last activity as a performer was as trombonist in the Scottish Orchestra and with the Carl Rosa Opera Company from 1898 until 1903. He studied composition at the Royal College of Music,

London, with Sir Charles Villiers Stanford, and it was as a composer and teacher that he really found himself. He taught most of his adult life, at the James Allen and St. Paul's girls' schools and at Morley College for Working Men and Women. He kept the association with St. Paul's until his death—the alumnae used to identify themselves to him by naming what Bach cantatas they had sung under his direction—and it was in the soundproof room of the new music wing opened there in 1913, a very paradise where he could be not only undisturbed but also indulge in the near-crematorial tem- peratures he favored indoors, that he worked on The Planets. There was more to his heaven and earth than what he inherited from his Swedish and English ancestors (or his Spanish great-great-grandmother who had ended up as the wife of an Irish peer in County Killarney) or what he had learned at the Royal College. In his twenties, he became deeply involved in Indian philosophy and reli- gion, and he taught himself Sanskrit so as to make his own translations of the Rig Veda. Between 1908 and 1912 he composed four sets of hymns from those ancient books of knowledge, and his most moving achievement is the opera Savatri, based on an incident in the fourth-century epic Mahabharata (there is an overwhelming recorded

44 performance with Janet Baker). And some time after the turn of the century, he came into the thrall of astrology, something of which he was reluctant to speak, though he admitted that casting horoscopes for his friends was his "pet vice." The Planets are astrological. "As a rule I only study things that suggest music to me," Hoist once

". wrote, . . recently the character of each planet suggested lots to me." And for the 1920 premiere, Hoist provided this note: These pieces were suggested by the astrological significance of the planets; there is no programme music in them, neither have they any connection with the deities of classical mythology bearing the same names. If any guide to the

music is required the subtitle to each piece will be found sufficient, especially if

it be used in a broad sense. For instance, Jupiter brings jollity in the ordinary sense, and also the more ceremonial type of rejoicing associated with religions or national festivities. Saturn brings not only physical decay, but also a vision

of fulfillment. Mercury is the symbol of mind.

Mars, the Bringer of War: The association of Mars and war goes back as far as his- tory records. The planet's satellites are Phobos (fear) and Deimos (terror), and its symbol 8 combines shield and spear. In Hoist, this comes out as a fierce, remorseless Allegro, in five violent beats to the bar.

Venus, the Bringer of Peace: After the moon, Venus is the brightest object in our night sky.* The identification with Ishtar, Aphrodite's Babylonian predecessor, goes back to at least 3,000 B.C. To astrologers, "when the disorder of Mars is past, Venus restores peace and harmony" (Noel Jan Tyl, The Planets: Their Signs and Aspects, Vol. Ill of The Principles and Practice of Astrology, St. Paul, 1974). Horn and flutes answer each other in this Adagio. High violins have an extended song, but the dominant colors are the cool ones of flutes, harps, and celesta. Mercury, the Winged Messenger: Hermes, god of cattle, sheep, and vegetation, deity of dreams, and conductor of the dead, first assumes the role of messenger in the Odyssey. Mercury, his Roman counterpart, was primarily a god of merchandise and merchants, and his winged sandals and winged cap are taken over from Hermes. To astrologers, Mercury is "the thinker" (cf. Hoist's comment above). The composer

The Greeks called it Hesperus when it appeared in the Western sky.

46 makes this a virtuosic scherzo, unstable, nervously changeable in meter and har- mony—in a word, mercurial. Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity: The most massive of the planets, possessing twelve satellites (one of them larger than the planet Mercury), named for the light-bringer, the rain-god, the god of thunderbolts, of the grape and the tasting of the new wine, of oaths, treaties, and contracts, and from whom we take the word "jovial." Jupiter, says Noel Tyl, "symbolizes expansiveness, scope of enthusiasm, knowledge, honor, and

opportunity . . . [and] corresponds to fortune, inheritance, bonanza." Hoist gives us an unmistakably English Jupiter, and in 1921 he took the big tune in the middle and set to it as a unison song with orchestra the words, "I vow to thee, my country."

Saturn, the Bringer of Old Age: Saturn is the outermost of the planets known in ancient times. The god is associated with Cronus and traditionally portrayed as an old man. To quote Tyl again, Saturn is "man's time on earth, his ambition, his strategic delay, his wisdom toward fulfillment, his disappointments and frustrations." Another Adagio dominated by the sound of flutes and harps, like Venus in both characteristics, but static, full of the suggestion of bells, and serene at the last. This movement was Hoist's own favorite. Uranus, the Magician: The first planet discovered in the age of the telescope, specifically in 1781 by Sir William Herschel, who wanted to name it for George III.* In astrology, Uranus rules invention, innovation, and astrology itself. Hoist begins with a triple invocation (trumpets and trombones, then tubas, then timpani) and leads that way into a movement of galumphing dance. At the end, the apparitions disappear into the night. Neptune, the Mystic: Pluto, now waiting to be displaced as the farthest-out planet by Planet X that the astronomers know about but haven't yet found, was discovered in 1930, so that when Hoist wrote his suite, Neptune, discovered in 1846, was the ex- treme point in our system, t In astrology, Neptune means confusion and mystic rap- port with other worlds. Neptune is invisible to the naked eye and to Hoist it speaks of distance, mystery, unanswerable questions. He makes of it another slow movement in swaying, irregular meter, softly dissonant in harmony, full of the sound of shim- mering harps and celesta, and dissolving in the voices of an invisible chorus of women.

—Michael Steinberg

Now Artistic Adviser of the San Francisco Symphony, Michael Steinberg was the Boston Symphony Orchestra's Director of Publications from 1976 to 1979.

*Some astronomers wanted to call it Herschel, but the name of Uranus was definitively assigned by the German astronomer, Johann Elert Bode. tDuring most of the next twenty years, Neptune will in fact be even more distant than Pluto.

What do these names have in common, along with hundreds ofmusicians who perform in

America 's major symphony orchestras ?

All are distinguished alumni of a unique program founded in 1940 as the fulfillment of Serge Koussevitzky's vision of the ideal musical community. Today, the Tanglewood Music Center continues to be the nation's preeminent academy for advanced musical study and performance. Maintained and financed by the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the Tanglewood Music Center offers exceptional young instrumentalists, singers, composers, and conductors a comprehensive and exhilarating eight-week program of musical training, under the direction of the world's greatest concert artists.

Since admission to the TMC is based solely on musical ability rather than the ability to pay, the Center operates each year at a substantial loss to the BSO. We need your support. Please contribute Tanglewod the Center. to Tanglewood Music When you do, you contribute to the future of Music music itself. Please make checks payable to the Tanglewood Music Center and mail to Center the Friends Office, Tanglewood, Lenox MA 01240.
