[5] OVERTURE IN C MAJOR IN THE ITALIAN STYLE, Op. 170 By Franz Schubert
Born at Lichtenthal, Vienna, January 31, 1797; died at Vienna, November 19, 1828.
IN 1812 Schubert wrote an overture in D; in September, 1816, one in B-flat major; in May, 1817, one in D major and two " in the Italian style " — one in D major (September, 1817) and one in C major (No- vember, 1817) ; in 1819 one in E minor.* Rossini's music became the rage in Vienna in 1817 — his " L'Inganno Felice " and " Tancredi " were produced there late in 1816; " Ultaliana in Algeri" February 1, 1817, and "Giro in Babilonia" on June 18, 1817. There was a story, which still survives, that Schubert after a per- formance of " Tancredi " and before supper, irritated by some one praising extravagantly Rossini's overtures, said that he could write then and there an overture in imitation of Rossini's style, to prove how easy it was to compose in that manner. This story led Mr. Henry Frederick Frost in his Life of Schubert (1881) to comment on the " strange insensibility of one musical genius towards the art work of
* This overture in E minor was performed in Boston by the Boston Symphony Orchestra on November 24, 1888, and on February 28, 1903.

another," and he added that the " Italian " overtures of Schubert " can- not be ranged with the best examples of the Sunny South as perfected by Rossini." " The story told about the origin of the two " Italian overtures is as false as the one to the effect that Beethoven refused to see Rossini when the latter called on him at Vienna in 1822. Schubert was an ardent admirer of Rossini. According to Spaun, he found " The Barber of Seville " a delightful opera; in a letter to
Hiittenbrenner (May 19, 1819) he wrote: " No one can deny Rossini genius." * He said of Rossini:
" ' Otello ' is far better and more characteristic than ' Tancredi/ His
orchestration is often most original, and so is his melody; and except
the usual Italian gallopades and a few reminiscences of ' Tancredi
there is nothing for objection." " Otello" was produced at Vienna in January, 1819, the month before that in which Schubert's overture in E minor was composed. Nor was Schubert influenced by Rossini only in the two overtures.
The influence is shown, as Sir George Grove pointed out, in his Sixth
Symphony (1818) , in two Marches, Op. 121, the Finale to the Quartet in G, Op. 161. One of Schubert's " Italian " overtures was played at Vienna in
1818. The "Wiener Theater-Zeitung " found it "wonderfully de-
See " Franz Schubert " by Richard Heuberger (Berlin, 1902).

It is scored for two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, two horns, two trumpets, kettledrums, and strings. The overture has been performed here at concerts of the Boston

SYMPHONY NO. 1, IN B-FLAT MAJOR, Op. 38 By Robert Schumann
Born at Zwickau, Saxony, June 8, 1810; died at Endenich, near Bonn, July 29, 1856
Schumann was married to Clara Wieck, September 12, 1840, after doubts, anxieties, and opposition on the part of her father; after a nervous strain of three or four years. His happiness was great, but to say with some that this joy was the direct inspiration of the First Symphony would be to go against the direct evidence submitted by " the composer. He wrote Ferdinand Wenzel: It is not possible for me to think of the journal," — the " Neue Zeitschrift fur Musik," founded by Schumann, Wieck, Schunke, and Knorr in 1834, and edited in 1841

["] by Schumann alone; " I have during the last days finished a task (at least in sketches) which filled me with happiness, and almost exhausted me. Think of it, a whole symphony — and, what is more, a Spring sym- phony: I, myself, can hardly believe that it is finished." And he said in a letter (November 23, 1842) to Spohr: " I wrote the symphony toward the end of the winter of 1841, and, if I may say so, in the vernal passion that sways men until they are very old, and surprises them again with each year. I do not wish to portray, to paint; but I believe firmly that the period in which the symphony was produced influenced its form and character, and shaped it as it is." He wrote to Wilhelm Taubert, who was to conduct the work in Berlin: " Could you infuse into your or- chestra in the performance a sort of longing for the Spring, which I had chiefly in mind when I wrote in February, 1841? The first entrance of trumpets, this I should like to have sounded as though it were from high above, like unto a call to awakening; and then I should like read- ing between the lines, in the rest of the Introduction, how everywhere it begins to grow green, how a butterfly takes wing; and, in the Allegro, how little by little all things come that in any way belong to Spring. True, these are fantastic thoughts, which came to me after my work was finished; only I tell you this about the Finale, that I thought it as the good-bye of Spring."

SHOES— STREET FLOOR [*3} (It may here be noted that the symphony was fully sketched in four days, and that Schumann now speaks of composing the work in
February, 1841, and now of writing it towards the end of that year.) " Berthold Litzmann, in the second volume of his " Clara Schumann
(Leipzig, 1906) , gives interesting extracts from the common diary of Schumann and his wife, notes written while Schumann was composing this symphony. Towards the end of December, 1840, she complained that Robert " had been for some days very cold toward her, yet the reason for it is
a delightful one." On January 17-23, 1841, she wrote that it was not " her week to keep the diary, but, if a man is composing a symphony,
it is not to be expected that he will do anything else. . . . The sym-
phony is nearly finished. I have not yet heard a note of it, but I am ex- ceedingly glad that Robert at last has started out in the field where, on account of his great imagination, he belongs." January 25: " To-day,
Monday, Robert has nearly finished his symphony; it was composed chiefly at night — for some nights my poor Robert has not slept on ac- count of it. He calls it ' Spring Symphony.' ... A spring poem by . . . gave him the first impulse toward composition."
(Litzmann adds in a note that Schumann at first thought of mottoes for the four movements, " The Dawn of Spring," " Evening," " Joyful Playing," " Full Spring." Clara did not write out the poet Bottger's name in her diary.) LAMSON & HUBBARD

If there were only an orchestra for it right away. I must confess, my dear hus- band, I did not give you credit for such dexterity." Schumann began to work on the instrumentation January 27; Clara impatiently waited to hear a note of the symphony. The instrumentation of the first move- ment was completed February 4, that of the second and third move- ments on February 13, that of the fourth on February 20, in the year 1841. Not till February 14 did Schumann play the symphony to her. E. F. Wenzel, later a teacher at the Leipzig Conservatory, and E. Pfundt, a kettledrum player of the Gewandhaus orchestra, were present. " I should like," she wrote in her diary, " to say a little something about the symphony, yet I should not be able to speak of the little buds, the
perfume of the violets, the fresh green leaves, the birds in the air. . . . Do not laugh at me, my dear husband! If I cannot express myself poetically, nevertheless the poetic breath of this work has stirred my very soul." The instrumentation was completed on February 20. Clara wrote to Emilie Liszt after the performance: " My husband's symphony achieved a triumph over all cabals and intrigues. ... I never heard a symphony received with such applause." Robert wrote in the diary some days before that his next symphony should be entitled " Clara; and I shall paint her therein with flutes, oboes, and harps."

[15] The original phrase given to trumpets and horns was written in an ineffective manner, as was revealed at the rehearsal of the symphony March 28, 1841, led by Mendelssohn: indeed, two of the tones could hardly be heard, on account of the character of the instruments then used. Schumann then put the opening measures a third higher. Never- theless, Schumann told Verhulst in 1853 that he was sorry he changed the theme. After that Verhulst used the original version whenever he conducted the symphony. The symphony was first performed, from manuscript, at a concert given by Clara Schumann for the benefit of the Orchestra Pension Fund in the hall of the Gewandhaus, Leipzig, March 31, 1841. Mendels- sohn conducted. The score is for two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones, a set of three kettledrums, triangle (in the first movement) , and strings. It is dedicated to Friedrich August, King of Saxony. P. H.

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 sym- phonies: he should try to make something like them. The beginning 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 Levi — " 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 prec- edent — has absolutely no rival among the first-born symphonies, be- fore or since.

He sketched another 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. Prof. 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.

[26] 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." At length (November 4, 1876) , Brahms yielded his manuscript to Otto Dessoff for performance at Carlsruhe. He himself conducted it at Mannheim, a few days later, and shortly afterward at Vienna, Leipzig, and Breslau. Brahms may have chosen Carlsruhe in order that so crucial an event as the first performance of his first symphony might have the favorable setting of a small community, well sprinkled with friends, " and long nurtured in the Brahms cause. A little town," he called it, " that holds a good friend, a good conductor, and a good orchestra." Brahms' private opinion of Dessoff, as we now know, was none too high. But Dessoff was valuable as a propagandist. He had sworn allegiance to the Brahms colors by resigning from his post as conductor of the Vienna Philharmonic because Brahms' Serenade in A major was refused. A few years before Dessoff at Carlsruhe, there had been Hermann Levi, who had dutifully implanted Brahms in the public consciousness.

There was no abundance of enthusiasm at these early performances, although Carlsruhe, Mannheim and Breslau were markedly friendly. The sym- phony seemed formidable at the first hearing, and incomprehensible — even to those favored friends who had been allowed an advance ac- quaintance with the manuscript score, or a private reading as piano duet, such as Brahms and Ignatz Briill gave at the home of Friedrich Ehrbar in Vienna. Even Florence May wrote of the " clashing disso- nances of the first introduction." Respect and admiration the symphony won everywhere. It was apprehended in advance that when the com- poser of the Deutsches Requiem at last fulfilled the prophecies of Schu- mann and gave forth a symphony, it would be a score to be reckoned with. No doubt the true grandeur of the music, now so patent to every- one as by no means formidable, would have been generally grasped far sooner, had not the Brahmsians and the neo-Germans immediately raised a cloud of dust and kept their futile controversy raging for years. It is possible to imagine how the skeptics at a performance would have been irritated by the pointed applause of the Brahms clique, the domineering air of the openly-partisan conductor, and would have been only too ready to find the music " harsh," " abrupt," or " muddy." Any composer would be suspect who must rely upon such a pompous bag 286 Boylston Street Antique jewelry, reproductions, and resetting BOSTON UNIVERSITY Privately Printed 'Books COLLEGE OF MUSIC WEe specialize in autobiographies, biogra- phies, genealogies, industrial histories, rec- ords of travel, reminiscences and memoirs — Degree, certificate and diploma courses. any editing and fine printing that requires New Department of church and com- taste, judgment, culture and editorial abil- munity music, Professor H.

Hans von Billow, who was converted to Brahms by this symphony, and who became its first truly revealing interpreter, may have done as much to retard as to advance its recognition. This fine musician and writer at once witty and witless, gave the enemy two points for endless derision when he linked " Bach, Beethoven and Brahms," and when he spoke of Brahms' First Symphony as a " Tenth." Characteristic of the tactlessness of this pioneer in the school of great conducting, who with his ducal orchestra made Meiningen a famous Brahms stronghold, is an incident in connection with the First Sym- phony. In 1882 he descended with his orchestra upon the anti-Brahms stronghold, Leipzig, and announced an all-Brahms programme, in which the C minor Symphony was included. Angered by the rather tepid applause, he repeated the third movement, and at the conclusion of the symphony, turned around and addressed the audience to this effect: he had come " at the express command of his Duke, who had desired that the Leipzig public should know how the symphony ought to be performed; and also to obtain satisfaction for the coldness mani- fested towards the composer on his appearance with the new (second) concerto at the Gewandhaus on January 1."

The First Symphony soon made the rounds of Germany, enjoying a particular success in Berlin, under Joachim (November 11, 1877) . In March of the succeeding year it was also heard in Switzerland and Hol- land. The manuscript was carried to England by Joachim for a perform- ance in Cambridge, and another in London in April, each much ap- plauded. The first performance in Boston took place January 3, 1878, under Carl Zerrahn and the Harvard Musical Association. When the critics called it, " morbid," " strained," " unnatural," " coldly elabo- rated," " depressing and unedifying," Zerrahn, who like others of his time knew the spirit of battle, at once announced a second performance for January 31. Sir George Henschel, an intrepid friend of Brahms, per- formed the C minor Symphony, with other works of the composer, in this orchestra's first year. Controversy has fastened upon certain portions of the symphony, and continued with more persistence than general enlightenment. In answer to those early critics who found the opening pages too meaty, too concentrated and close-worked for their taste, John Fuller-Maitland, in his book of 1911, draws a plausible comparison with Robert Brown- ing: " The case is almost a parallel to certain poems of Browning; the thoughts are so weighty, the reasoning, as it may be called, so close, that the ordinary means of expression are inadequate to convey the whole of what is in the creator's mind, and a feeling of strain is undoubtedly Distinctive Catering \\ 7EDDINGS, receptions, dinners, teas and debuts gain distinction and con- vey greater pleasure when the catering is perfect in taste and delicious in quality.

But to try to rescore such a movement as this with the sacrifice of none of its meaning, is as hopeless a task as to rewrite Sordello in sentences that a child should understand." Of the long melody for horn solo in the last movement, Kalbeck a found suggestion of an Alpine horn, an echo of Brahms' blissful mountain climbing days. Philip Hale adds another version: "There has lately been an attempt to prove that Brahms had in mind the solemn notes of Big Ben,' in ' London. Brahms never was in London, but a friend told ' " him about Big Ben/ and gave him the notation! Let us turn to the genuinely English report on this subject of D. Millar Craig. His countrymen, who took Brahms to their hearts from the start, first heard " the symphony in March, 1877. Through the interest of Sir Charles Stanford, Joachim sent the score and parts, still in manuscript, to the Cambridge University Musical Society, which had the honor of playing the symphony for the first time in this country. The work was hailed with special delight by Cambridge, not only for its own splendid sake but because of a rather striking coincidence. The horn passage near the beginning of the last movement uses the notes of the chimes familiar to all Cambridge as ' The Cambridge Quarters,' and the Uni- versity hailed that as a particularly happy omen for the first perform- ance of the work there."

MILLINER 143 NEWBURY STREET i>7 Still more ink has been expended on a similarity admitted even by Florence May between the expansive and joyous C major melody sung by the strings in the Finale, and the theme of the Hymn to Joy in Beethoven's Ninth. The enemy of course raised the cry of " plagiarism." But a close comparison of the two themes shows them quite different in contour. Each has a diatonic, Volkslied character, and each is intro- duced with a sudden radiant emergence. The true resemblance between the two composers might rather lie in this, that here, as patently as anywhere, Brahms has caught Beethoven's faculty of soaring to great heights upon a theme so naively simple that, shorn of its associations, it would be about as significant as a subject for a musical primer. Bee- thoven often, and Brahms at his occasional best, could lift such a theme, by some strange power which entirely eludes analysis, to a degree of nobility and melodic beauty which gives it the unmistakable aspect of immortality. The known fact that Brahms made his first sketches for the sym- phony under the powerful impression of Beethoven's Ninth, which he had heard in Cologne for the first time in 1854, may have led his con- temporaries to preconceive comparisons between the two. Walter Nie- mann, not without justice, finds a kinship between the First Symphony and Beethoven's Fifth through their common tonality of C minor, PAPER for PROGRAMMES made at our mill in Boston , eu-sjyw^ijwiL'j Since 1801 Tileston c3 Hollingsworth Co. 213 CONGRESS STREET BOSTON CroftAle [32] which, " says Niemann, meant to Brahms hard, pitiless struggle, dae- monic, supernatural shapes, sinister defiance, steely energy, dramatic intensity of passion, darkly fantastic, grisly humor." " Brahms' Pathetic Symphony," Niemann calls the First. " Movement by movement, third by third, it struggles upwards, in a titanic striving against the most grievous tribulation, to a triumphant paean of confident vitality. The first movement is in C minor, the sec- ond in E major, the third in A flat major, the fourth in C minor and C major. . . . Brahms manifestly takes Beethoven as his point of de- parture in his First Symphony. Its ' grand style,' its earnest, elevated spirit, its ' rugged pathos ' purging the emotions through pity and terror (to quote Lessing) , all suggest Beethoven; as do also the virile, concen- trated, defiant energy and rugged passion of his musical idiom, which stirs us to our depths, glosses over nothing, spares us nothing, and even in its moments of exultation and joy maintains a certain restrained and remote quality." As in Beethoven's Fifth, Niemann finds in Brahms' introduction a " ' Fate Motif ' on the violins, striving painfully upwards in a chromatic progression of thirds, which are likewise chromatic. And, finally, the scheme of the work, too, is Beethovenesque in its homo- geneous and closely knit form and poetic and significant feeling, and The Public is Cordially invited to use two CHRISTIAN SCIENCE READING ROOMS Free to the Public Statler Office Building, Park Square THE FIRST CHURCH Cor.

In listening to the sym- phony, Niemann is reminded of Hebbel.
