BOSTON • CHESTNUT HILL [8] SYMPHONY IN G MAJOR, "OXFORD," No. 92 By Josef Haydn Born in Rohrau, Lower Austria, March 3i(?), 1732; died in Vienna, May 31, 1809 This symphony, composed in 1788, was performed at Oxford, England, on July 7, 1791. (This may not have been the first performance.) Performances at the concerts of the Boston Symphony Orchestra have been on November 19, 1886; February 9, 1900; January 20, 1905; February 18, 1910, and most recently on January 17, 1947, when Bruno Walter conducted. The orchestration consists of 1 flute, 2 oboes, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani, and strings. TN the summer of 1791, following Haydn's first series of concerts in * London, the composer consented to go to Oxford and receive the degree of Mus. Doc. from the University. He may not have longed for this honor. Other musicians before him had slighted it. According to Hawkins' remark in his History of Music in 1766: "This degree is not much sought after nowadays." Hawkins says that Handel expostulated over the offer of a diploma at Oxford in 1733: "Vat de dyfil I trow my money away for dat de blockhead wish? I no vant." Handel's objection was the customary fee of one hundred guineas which went with the privilege.

Commanday Interviews Conducted by Caroline C. Crawford in 1994-1996 Copyright 1999 by The Regents of the University of California Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the Nation. Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well- informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ************************************ All uses of this manuscript are covered by legal agreements between The Regents of the University of California and Sandor Salgo and Priscilla Salgo dated October 26, 1995, and February 15, 1996, respectively. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes.

Look for the bright blue awnings on Pearl Parkway just west of Foothills Highway The Colorado MahlerFest ahler was the first composer to shatter the Victorian intellectual tradition of bland rationality and blind optimism. His vision of the world, so clearly mirrored in his works, reflected the problems of life, of love, of achievement and failure, of happiness and fame from the viewpoint of death. Periodically, Victorian audiences rvere utterly perplexed by both the emotional honesty and emotional complexity of this approach. However, today's generation of listeners finds itself increasingly in accord rvith a composer who does not spare them the trouble of stretching their emotional range. The American critic David Hall eloquently summarized the whole history of public reaction to Mahler: "For the audience of Mahler's own day, and perhaps even for those between the two world wars, his musical message was too strong a dose of bitter medicine.
