[4] "CLASSICAL" SYMPHONY, Op. 25 By Serge Prokofieff

Born at Sontsovka, Russia, April 23, 1891

The iirst performance of the "Symphonie Classique" was in Petrograd, April 21, 1918, the composer conducting. Prokofieff arrived in New York in September, and in December the Russian Symphony Orchestra in New York played this symphony for the first time in America. It was introduced at the Boston Symphony concerts January 26, 1927. The work is dedicated to Boris Assafieff, a writer on musical sub- jects whose pen name is "Igor Gleboff." The symphony is scored for two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, two horns, two trumpets, timpani and strings.

Written in 1916-17, considerably before "neo-classicism" set in, this symphony in miniature surely cannot be looked upon as a pledge to past ways. It might rather be considered a momentary dalliance with the eighteenth-century formula. It would probably be as mistaken to look for reverence in the "Symphonie Classique" as to

look for irreverence in it. Let us say that the composer had a single and passing impulse to weave his own bright threads into an old pattern. Prokofieff gives himself precisely the orchestra of Mozart or Haydn;

he is punctilious in his formal procedure. He is also concise — so much

[53 so that the four movements occupy no more than thirteen minutes — about half the usual duration of the symphonies which he took as model.

D major is the prevailing key. The first movement, with clipped phrases, staccato and to the point, sets forth its themes, its develop- ment, its recapitulation and coda, all complete. The Larghetto is in simple rondo form, beginning and ending with a charming pizzicato in the strings, pianissimo, a mere accompanying figure which never- theless lingers in the memory. The theme and its development has a suggestion of eighteenth-century ornamentation, but is in less serious vein. Prokofieff departs from the letter rather than the spirit of his models in choosing a gavotte instead of the rigidly customary minuet.

The Finale gives, naturally, a far greater freedom to his fancy, al- though he sets himself a first theme upon the common chord which his forbears might have found quite in order and to their own pur- poses. The working out, recapitulation, and coda are virtuously ob- served. The episodic byplay turns up a sauce of "modern" wit which the periwigged masters could scarcely have approved.

[7] SYMPHONY NO. 6, Op. 53 By Dmitri Shostakovitch

Born September 25, 1906, at St. Petersburg

The Sixth Symphony of Shostakovitch had its first performance at a festival in Moscow, December 3, 1939. It was introduced to this country at a concert of the Philadelphia Orchestra in Philadelphia, Leopold Stokowski conducting, November 29, 1940. This was announced as the "First Performance outside Russia." The symphony was performed by the Boston Symphony Orchestra in Boston, March 20, 1942. The score has recently been published with numerous alterations of detail by the composer. This score is used in the present performances. The orcnestration includes two flutes and piccolo, two oboes and English horn, three clarinets in B, one in E-flat, and bass clarinet, two bassoons and contra- bassoon, three trumpets, four horns, three trombones and tuba, timpani, tam- bourine, military drum, bass drum, cymbals, triangle, tam-tam, xylophone, celesta, harp and strings.

If the three movements of the Sixth Symphony are compared with the classical scheme, the opening movement could be considered as the slow movement doing double service, while the second and third movements are distinctly suggestive of the traditional scherzo and finale. The first movement, largo throughout and by far the longest of the three, is in common time. It opens with an expressive theme stated by the woodwinds and low strings, carried by the violins into the high register. A new melody is introduced by the strings, at first unaccompanied.

[Q] ally to a point of great sonority. The tension is relaxed as the alter- nate voices of the woodwinds take the fine line of the melody, the English horn and flute having passages of particular prominence. This discourse takes place over a mystic ground of trills by the low strings in long pedal points, with their weird contrast of range. The strings take up the melody for its final setting forth. The bright, propulsive triple rhythm of the second movement gives it the unmistakable character of a scherzo, although it is not so called. The rhythm persists throughout the movement, except for fleeting alterations in the beat. Variety is found by rhythmic subdivision and by the fantasy of melodic runs and skips. The E-flat clarinet sets the pace for prominent solos by various woodwinds in shifting color. There are skittering scale passages. The piccolo is much and tellingly called upon. There is a climax of sonority where the whole oichestra is brought into play, the brass and percussion giving an almost martial eclat. But this episode is soon over. The movement ends as lightly as it began. The finale, Presto, in 4-4 time, is in the form of a rondo. Rhythmic strings give out the theme. A new section shifts to the triple signa- ture, but now each beat is accentuated "marcatissimo." After some alteration of the beat, there is a return to the first theme with its quadruple rhythm. The manner of the opening of the movement is re-established. The whole movement is brilliant and substantial in treatment as compared with the sparse orchestration of the first two movements. It is in the character of a folk dance, with no single sug-

When this symphony was performed in Philadelphia, the printed programme quoted a comparison of the Sixth Symphony with the Fifth in these words of Mr. Stokowski: "In his Fifth Symphony Shostakovitch painted in tone the inner and outer experiences of an artist's life — sometimes expressing the boisterous humor of crowds in the street, as in the fourth part — sometimes painting with ironic splashes of color a gamin-like humor, as in the second part — and sometimes telling by the simplest orches- tral means the innermost reveries of his spirit in dark and melancholy coloring, or rising to sublime heights of ecstasy, as in the third part. "In his Fifth Symphony Shostakovitch has composed music in the usual sequence of symphonic form, but in his Sixth Symphony he has become more individualistic. It is in three parts, instead of four, and the first part is the slow movement, the second the scherzo, the third is based on dance rhythms and later has themes inspired by the popular folklore of Russia. These three parts are strongly contrasted and are remarkable for the firmness of their melodic outline, rhythm and musical character. In each symphony Shostakovitch shows him- self to be more of a master, to be ever growing, ever expanding in his imagination and musical consciousness. In his Sixth Symphony he

[13] has reached new depths, especially in the first part. Here are harmonic sequences, and several melodies sounding at the same time, making modern counterpoint, which are of great originality and intensity of expression. At the first hearing they sound strange and even ob- scure, as if the meaning was concealed and hidden. But after hearing this music three or four times it suddenly becomes clear and has great depth of expression."

The Sixth Symphony aroused very little attention when it was first performed in Moscow in 1939, according to Nicolas Slonimsky. The composer had made known his intention of using chorus and soloists, introducing a eulogy of Lenin by a Caucasian poet. The festival at which it was performed included Prokofieff's music with chorus taken from the film "Alexander Nevsky," and cantatas by Shaporin and Koval on other exploits of history. When Shostakovitch's new symphony appeared between these —a purely instrumental piece, with its own idiosyncrasies and without patriotic or pictorial appeal — it was barely reported at all in the newspaper accounts of the event. "The technical analysis of the Symphony in the December 1939 issue of Sovietskaya Musica," according to Mr. Slonimsky, "was definitely disparaging. The lesson was made fairly clear. What was needed in the year 1940 was the romanticization of Russia circa 1240, while Shostakovitch de- voted his talent principally to satirizing Russia circa 1840. Will Shosta-

[14] kovitch be able to adapt his essentially satiric talent to the changed times? His entire future in Soviet Russia hinges on the answer."

News received from Leningrad last autumn told of the progress of the Seventh Symphony, which Shostakovitch began while living in barracks to which he was assigned as a member of the fire-fighting brigade of the Leningrad Conservatory, while the capital was under siege. He made known in a communication published in the New Masses October 28 that he was himself surprised at the speed at which the score progressed, as if he were inspired by the simple people around him who were defending their city.

Information has come in a newspaper dispatch of March 1 of the first performance of the new symphony in Kuibishev by the Bolshoi Theatre Orchestra on that date: "A selected audience including mem- bers of the diplomatic corps, Soviet intellectuals and Red army officers, was invited to the noontime premiere. They received the work en- thusiastically. Shostakovitch was called four times to acknowledge the applause." A programme note by the composer quoted a proverb, "When guns speak, muses keep silent," and added this emendation, "Here the muses speak, together with the guns." An earlier bulletin sent by Ralph Parker reported an interview

[15I with the composer obtained during the rehearsals of the piece and printed in the New York Times under date of Moscow, February 8.

Slight in stature, extraordinarily youthful-looking, the man who is probably the best-known abroad of Soviet Russia's composers sat in a shabby Kuibishev bedroom, pulling cigarettes to pieces and stirring his glass of tea while he spoke passionately of the work to which he was then adding the final bars. Anxious to contribute his talent to the war effort in the most suit- able fashion, Mr. Shostakovitch wrote the symphony to illustrate the way in which war affects human beings. The first movement, marked allegro moderato, he described as opening with a calm, lyrical expo- sition of a theme intended to describe the happy existence of "ordi- nary, simple people." "By ordinary I mean not distinguished by any special features or talents — just ordinary, good, quiet people, going about their daily life," said Mr. Shostakovitch. "When Richard Strauss wrote his 'Domestic Symphony' he satir- ized people, taking negative commonplace types and poking bitter fun at them. I don't want to laugh at people, and I'm not describing silly, commonplace people. I'm simply writing about the man in the street. "After this preliminary theme I introduce the main theme, which was inspired by the transformation of these ordinary people into heroes by the outbreak of the war. This builds up into a requiem foi those of them who are perishing in the performance of their duty.

[17] In the first movement's final passages I introduce something very in- timate, like a mother's tears over her lost children. It is tragic, but it finally becomes transparently clear. "The scherzo and adagio movements are of an intermediate charac- ter, in which I am moved by the idea that war doesn't necessarily mean destruction of cultural values. The fourth movement can be described by one word — victory. But my idea of victory isn't some- thing brutal; it's better explained as the victory of light over dark- ness, of humanity over barbarism, of reason over reaction. "I consider that every artist who isolates himself from the world is doomed. I find it incredible that an artist should want to shut him- self away from the people, who, in the end, form his audience. I think an artist should serve the greatest possible number of people. I always try to make myself as widely understood as possible, and if I don't succeed I consider it's my own fault."

The following interesting information about the childhood of Shostakovitch has been kindly provided by Mme. Nadejda Shohat, the composer's aunt, who lives in Pennsylvania: "Dmitri Shostakovitch was born September 25, 1906, in Leningrad. His father, Dmitri, was a business man. His mother, Sophia, born Kokowlina, studied music in the Leningrad Conservatory but dropped her studies after marriage. Both father and mother were born in Siberia. His father was also very musical; he had a tenor voice and

[18] sang very beautifully. He also played the piano. Dmitri Shostakovitch has two sisters: The eldest, Maria, a laureate from Leningrad Con- servatory, is married to Freedericksz, professor of physics in the Poly- technic Institute of Leningrad; the youngest sister, Zoya, is married to Khruschev, professor of histology at the University of Moscow. Dmitri Shostakovitch married Nina Varzar in 1933. "At the age of seven Shostakovitch started his piano lessons from his mother, who also taught music to his sister Maria. At the very beginning he has shown unusual musical talent. Hardly was he taught the notes when he started at once to read scores without any difficulty, memorizing music at once. He also showed an absolute pitch. Once his mother took him to the opera in Maryinsky Theatre — 'Tales of Czar Saltan.' He was very impressed by the music and the next day he could repeat by heart all the melodies asked from him. It appeared to us as a sign of extraordinary ability. ''In 1916 (or 1917) he entered with his sister the private musical school of Glasser, which was considered the best school of music in Leningrad. "At the age of nine he wrote his first composition for piano, 'Theme with Variations.' The Revolution of 1917 inspired him to write his next compositions: 'Hymn to Liberty,' and 'Funeral March to the Victims of the Revolution.' At the school of Glasser his first public appearance on an examination created a great impression when he played a little piece from one of the Haydn Symphonies (Largo). I remember that the audience was quite fascinated by the very first

[ 19J chord of Mitya (the diminutive of Dmitri) and there was much talk about him. "In 1919 he left the school of Glasser and entered the Conservatory of Leningrad, where he studied first under Rosanova and later under Nicolaev. It was Glazounov who, after listening to his compositions, advised him to enter Steinberg's class of composition. After a few lessons, Professor Steinberg once said, 'It is not for us to teach Shostako- vitch but to learn from him.' His next composition was 'Hopak'; he wrote it for his youngest sister to dance. Then followed 'Three Fantastic Dances,' 'Suite for Two Pianos,' the song 'Grasshopper and Ant,' 'Scherzo' for Orchestra, and Tone Poem, 'Mermaid,' based on Andersen's Fairy Tale. It is my impression that the last three pieces were incorporated in his First Symphony. "In 1922 his father, whom the whole family adored, died suddenly from pneumonia; this was a terrible shock to the family. Mitya con- tinued his study at the Conservatory and at the same time passed his graduation examination from high school (gymnasium). In 1923 he graduated from the Conservatory as pianist, and from the class of com- position in 1925. "In 1923 I left Russia for the United States, and all I have known since about Mitya is from the letters of my sister. Since 1935 I have not heard from the family. "Mitya was a very serious and sensitive child, often very meditative, very modest about his music and rather shy. He liked fairy tales and often asked me to tell them to him.

[to] his mother, asking her whether she approved his interpretations. His favorite composer at the very beginning was Liszt. He liked to read and his favorite author was the great Russian novelist Gogol His first opera, 'The Nose,' is based on Gogol's story of the same name. From the letters of my sister I learned that he was planning to write three or four operas, in which he wanted to picture the development of the character of womanhood in Russia in various historical periods, first in the poor surroundings of the lower middle class, as in 'Lady Macbeth,' the period of 'Nihilism' ('the sixties') when the emancipa- tion of the Russian woman started, and finishing with the type of Soviet woman. It seems, however, he dropped the idea." Shostakovitch was nineteen years old when he wrote his first or- chestral work, the Symphony Op. 10 which, played far and wide and established in the repertory of orchestras, has naturally drawn the interest and attention of the Western world to the composer.* Musicians have watched with hopeful curiosity the subsequent de- velopment of the young artist. His growth has been puzzling because it is quite without precedent. The environment of Shostakovitch, the only one he has known from childhood, has been a communal state which has made the works of its artists its direct concern. Shosta- kovitch has apparently taken it as quite a matter of course that his music must be integral with the thoughts and needs, the cultural

[ti] — ideology of Soviet Russia. His Second and Third Symphonies had explicit revolutionary programmes. But these symphonies did not repeat the success of the first. The element of the grotesque then took precedence in his works and despite the success of his opera "Lady Macbeth of Mzensk" (1935) there came at length a rift between official sanction and individual inclination. The composer in his exuberance used satire which was purely musical in its impulse, and which in- stead of exposing bourgeois ideals, merely reflected them. His fantasy became personal idiosyncrasy which neglected to fall in with class- conscious expectations. At the beginning of 1936, two articles ap- peared in the Pravda, chief organ of the Communist Party, condemn- ing Shostakovitch (along with other composers) for his "formalistic ideas founded on bourgeois musical conceptions." A new movement, taken up by the "Union of Soviet Composers," and in official circles which were not musical, put Shostakovitch into general disfavor. His opera "Lady Macbeth of Mzensk" was found, even by those who had once praised it, to be a "concession to bourgeois taste," and a pend- ing new production was withdrawn, as was the new and lately mounted ballet "Limpid Stream." This last rebuke was serious, for the composer had carefully built his ballet on the subject of a communal farm, only to be told by Pravda that he had depicted "merely painted peasants, the kind you see on the covers of candy boxes." Shostako- FUN AT THE PIANO! These grim days, a little relaxation at the piano does a heap of good play America's favorite popular tunes in a satisfying up-to-the-minute version. New chord presentation eliminates drudgery, scales —speeds up results. Now is the time to benefit from the experience of New England's foremost modern pianist and teacher.

[22] vitch, although he continued to hold his position as teacher at the Leningrad Conservatory,* faced, it would seem, definite extinction by the simple expedient of the withdrawal of his music from per formance and circulation. That the Leningrad Philharmonic accepted his new Fourth Sym- phony for performance in December, 1936, indicates that there was no positive official ban. But the composer withdrew the Symphony before it could come to performance, as if he were not satisfied that he had met the requirements of the new aesthetic alignment. He com- posed another, his Fifth, which was duly performed at Leningrad at the celebrations in the autumn of 1937. It was evident at once tnai he had toed the line. All seats for the first and for succeeding per- formances were taken faf in advance. There were ovations and en- thusiastic reviews at every hand. The chorus of written praise ex- tended beyond the musical profession, and included the prominent literary figure Alexei Tolstoy, and Gromoff, the aviator and hero of the transpolar flight. The article by Andrew Budyakovsky in the Moscow Daily News is typical: "The composer while retaining the originality of his art in this new composition has to a great extent overcome the ostentatiousness, deliberate musical affectation and mis-

(Continued from page 23) use of the grotesque which had left a pernicious print on many of his former compositions," he wrote. "Shostakovitch's 'Fifth Symphony' is a work of great depth, with emotional wealth and content, and is of great importance as a milestone in the composer's development.* "The fetters of musical formalism which held the composer captive so long, and prevented him from creating works profound in con- ception, have been torn off. He must follow up this new trend in his work. He must turn more boldly toward Soviet reality. He must understand it more profoundly and find in it a new stimulus for his work." The critics of Shostakovitch were not very consistent. This one (and his fellows) congratulated the composer for having freed him- self of "formalism" at the very moment when their supposedly chas- tised and penitent artist had settled into an abstract symphony, based squarely upon time-honored structural form and harmonic principles. Heeding admonitions, years before, that music should have an ex- written pressive connection with the life of the Russian people, he had implications, and his Second ("October") Symphony with political and a his Third ("May Day") Symphony with an explicit programme powers. verbal message. These works did not seem to call forth his best composers Shostakovitch instinctively partook in the general return of voice has at length to the abstract forms.

[39] . against a stage piece in their genuine search for an art for the many, acting without a basic motive (if so it be) of self-interest, personal malice, or narrow factionalism. To look at the other side of the picture and behold an important composer heeding, in all seriousness, this peculiar apparition of concerted advice, is at least as strange. "Capitalist" society has long been familiar with the spectacle of com- posers whose musical inclinations have been at odds wth the desires of those who have held the purse strings, or with the listening public at large. Some have written inferior music for gain; some have im- posed their will upon the world, arousing the clash of controversy; some have quietly persisted in going their own way, paying the penalty of temporary obscurity and neglect. Experience points that new and important music, having usually put forth unaccustomed and chal- lenging ideas, has run into conflict with a general inertia of musical habit. It has prevailed through the dogged adherence of its maker to his own convictions, through his fine disregard of the debasements of standardization. A society which rejects the tradition of an alien past, which, trying to build afresh, seeks a certain modernism, may present a somewhat different case. But when that society sets up new and arbi- trary dogmas, there must be the need once more for a good infusion of healthy individual rebellion. Instead, there is the apparition of the composer who simply has no existence unless he conforms, and who looks upon nonconformity as in the order of things an artistic error on his part.

[41] SYMPHONY IN C MINOR, NO. 1, Op. 68 By Johannes Brahms

Bom at Hamburg, May 7, 1833; died at Vienna, April 3, 1897

The First Symphony of Brahms had its initial performance November 4, 1876, at Carlsruhe, Otto Dessoff conducting.

The first performance by the Boston Symphony Orchestra was December 9, 1881.

The symphony is scored for two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, contra-bassoon, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones, timpani and strings. The trombones are used only in the finale.

Not until he was forty-three did Brahms present his First Symphony to the world. His friends had long looked to him expectantly to carry on this particular glorious German tradition. As early as 1854 Schumann, who had staked his strongest prophecies on Brahms' future, wrote to Joachim: "But where is Johannes? Is he flying high, or only under the flowers? Is he not yet ready to let drums and trumpets sound? He should always keep in mind the beginning of the Beethoven symphonies: he should try to make something like them. The begin- ning is the main thing; if only one makes a beginning, then the end comes of itself." Schumann, that shrewd observer, knew that the brief beginnings of Brahms were apt to germinate, to expand, to lead him to great ends. Also, that Beethoven, symphonically speaking, would be his point of departure. To write a symphony after Beethoven was "no laughing matter," Brahms once wrote, and after sketching a first movement he admitted to Hermann Lev* — "I shall never compose a symphony! You have no conception of how the likes of us feel when we hear the tramp of a giant like him behind us."

To study Brahms is to know that this hesitancy was not prompted by any craven fear of the hostile pens which were surely lying in wait for such an event as a symphony from the newly vaunted apostle of classicism. Brahms approached the symphony (and the concerto too) slowly and soberly; no composer was ever more scrupulous in the com- mitment of his musical thoughts to paper. He proceeded with elaborate examination of his technical equipment — with spiritual self-question- ing — and with unbounded ambition. The result — a period of fourteen years between the first sketch and the completed manuscript; and a score which, in proud and imposing independence, in advance upon all precedent — has absolutely no rival among the first-born symphonies, before or since.

His first attempt at a symphony, made at the age of twenty, was diverted in its aim, the first two movements eventually becoming the basis of his piano concerto No. 1, in D minor. He sketched another [42] BERKSHIRE SYMPHONIC FESTIVAL

[45] 1 first movement at about the same time (1854), but it lay in his desk for years before he felt ready to take the momentous plunge. "For about fourteen years before the work appeared," writes D. Millar Craig,*

"it was an open secret among Brahms' best friends that his first sym- phony was practically complete. Professor Lipsius of Leipzig University, who knew Brahms well and had often entertained him, told me that from 1862 onwards, Brahms almost literally carried the manuscript score about with him in his pocket, hesitating to have it made public. Joachim and Frau Schumann, among others, knew that the symphony was finished, or at all events practically finished, and urged Brahms over and over again to let it be heard. But not until 1876 could his diffidence about it be overcome." It would be interesting to follow the progress of the sketches. We know from Madame Schumann that she found the opening, as origi- nally submitted to her, a little bold and harsh, and that Brahms ac- cordingly put in some softening touches. "It was at Munster am Stein," (1862) says Albert Dietrich, "that Brahms showed me the first move- ment of his symphony in C minor, which, however, only appeared much later, and with considerable alterations."

STEINWAY The Instrument of the Immortals

• There are many homes across the land today where a child is playing a Steinway first bought for her mother when she was a child!

That is at once the glory and the economy of the Steinway. It will instruct, enlighten, entertain. It will bring out all that is deep and good in the child.

And it will do all this at a cost per year the lowest of any piano True economy lies in the best and finest things. The Steinway will outlast three ordinary pianos. Pay only 10% down — as little as $59.50 for the Steinway Vertical, $129.50 for the Steinway Grand. See the Steinway soon! (Purr's subject to change without notice.)
