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 bull lacked the fore-pillar. Latei 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 majoi and five minor scales complete. Today the harp is an important and familial instrument providing the "Exquisite Sound" and special effects so important to modern orchestration and arrange- ment.

This is similar to a college or university, with its 'alumni' annual fund and its occasional capital or 'building' fund. At Symphony, as in a college, the two are separate. Symphony's 'annual' fund is the Friends Appeal. The capital campaign is The Fund for the Boston Symphony. Gifts to each bring additional bene- fits to Symphony. The Ford Foundation agrees to give to Symphony $100,000 each year, until 1971, in which the Friends Appeal exceeds $325,000. The Foundation challenges the Friends to con- tinue their generous annual giving during the crucial years of the capital campaign. The Fund for the Boston Symphony is reaching for a goal of $5.5 million by June 30 1971. With the achievement of the first $4 million, or Symphony's general funds, the Ford Foundation will give an addi- tional $2 million. Beyond this, Symphony has set for itself as part of the campaign, $1.5 million for refurbishment of Symphony Hall. Friends and Fund — Symphony asks support for both.

He completed the Symphony no. 32 on April 26 1779. The instrumentation: 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani and strings. Obviously a biographer must delimit his coverage in some manageable fashion, and when the subject is Mozart it is perhaps defensible to effect a certain arbitrary rigor — even ruthlessness — in the weighting of creative credits and debits. All the same one is obliged, I should think, to question the veracity (or at the least the super-succinctness) of the following passage from W. J. Turner's curiously uneven study: 'It is not necessary to go into much detail about the year 1779, spent in Salzburg. It is sufficient to say that he felt miserable there and unappreciated at his true value. In spite of this he composed many instrumental works and several Masses and other church music.' Turner thereupon deems worthy of mention only two products of this particular period: the revised Thamos, Konig in Agypten K. 345, and the never-completed Zaide K. 344. As evidence of Mozart's growth as a musical dramatist surely both of these theater pieces deserve to be discussed, but just as surely they do not represent a balanced sam- pling of the actual catalogue raisonne for those twelve months.

Since the group first came together in 1994, the ensemble has swept top Elliott prizes in several leading international competitions from the Cleveland Quartet Award to the Naumburg. In 2006, the Pacifica was awarded the prestigious Avery Fisher Career Grant, only the second chamber music ensemble ever to be selected. The Pacifica Quartet tours extensively throughout the United States, Europe, and the Far East, with frequent CARTER broadcasts. Prolific in the recording studio, the quartet’s acclaimed recordings include the complete string quartets of Mendelssohn, Dvofiák chamber works, and the complete quartets of Easley Blackwood. Recitals include cycles of the complete string quartets of Beethoven. The Pacifica was appointed a member of The Chamber Music Society of String Quartets Nos. 1 and 5 Lincoln Center’s CMS Two programme for gifted young musicians in 2002. The Quartet is an ardent advocate of contemporary music, commissioning and performing as many as eight new works a year. A champion of the string quartets of Elliott Carter, the ensemble has distinguished itself with performances of the complete cycle of five Pacifica Quartet quartets in New York, San Francisco, Chicago, and Cleveland, and abroad in Japan, Germany, and the Edinburgh International Festival. As resident string quartet for Contempo, one of the country’s leading contemporary music organizations, the Quartet presents a series of concerts each year devoted exclusively to new music.

But there are reasons far more compelling than mere longevity to regard Elliott Carter as the most eminent of living American composers, and as one of the foremost composers in the world at large. His name has come to be synonymous with music that is at once structurally formidable, expressively extraordinary, and virtuosically dazzling: music that asks much of listener and performer INTRODUCTION alike but gives far more in return. Carter was born in New York and, except during the later years of his education, has always lived there. After college and some postgraduate study at Harvard, like many an aspiring American composer of his generation who did not find the training he sought at home, Carter went off to Paris to study with Nadia Boulanger, an experience which, while enabling a necessary development of technique, also lent his work a conservative, neoclassical style for a time.
