  • Program Notes
    NOTES ON THE PROGRAM Pro Musica March 23, 2017 Academy of St Martin in the Fields Aaron Copland (1900-1990) Quiet City Aaron Copland’s compositions are divided into three periods: the early jazz-inspired works, the severely avant-garde, and the “Americana” or populist style that produced his most beloved works such as Rodeo, Appalachian Spring, Lincoln Portrait, and Fanfare for the Common Man. While Quiet City of 1940 falls into Copland’s populist style, we should be cautious about that categorization causing us to miss the work’s purely musical qualities and genius. That said, we must recognize it as one of the most evocative pieces of Copland’s output. In this case, it paints a night in a sleepless city, presumably New York, Copland’s home. Based on Copland’s incidental music for Irwin Shaw’s failed play of the same name, Quiet City was premiered in 1941 by the Saidenberg Little Symphony in New York City. Copland himself commented that the work was “an attempt to mirror the troubled main character of Irwin Shaw’s play.” He also admitted that Quiet City “seems to have become a musical entity superseding the original reasons for its composition.” On Mozart and Shostakovich In light of the combination of Mozart and Shostakovich on this program, we offer the following thoughts: On the death of the American novelist Saul Bellow, The New York Times reported that Mr. Bellow once told a reporter that “for many years, Mozart was a kind of idol to me—this rapturous singing that’s always on the edge of sadness and melancholy and disappointment and heartbreak, but always ready for an outburst of the most delicious music.” One could say much of the same about the music of Shostakovich, thus pointing to the raison d’etre for combining these two composers on a program.

ThePhiladelphiaOrchestra MUSIC DIRECTOR YANNICK NÉZET-SÉGUIN our world Ours is a world divided. And yet, night after night, live music brings audiences together, gifting them with a shared experience. This season, Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin and The Philadelphia Orchestra invite you to experience the transformative power of fellowship through a bold exploration of sound. 2 2020–21 Season 3 “For me, music is more than an art form. It’s an artistic force connecting us to each other and to the world around us. I love that our concerts create a space for people to gather as a community—to explore and experience an incredible spectrum of music. Sometimes, we spend an evening in the concert hall together, and it’s simply some hours of joy and beauty. Other times there may be an additional purpose, music in dialogue with an issue or an idea, maybe historic or current, or even a thought that is still not fully formed in our minds and hearts. What’s wonderful is that music gives voice to ideas and feelings that words alone do not; it touches all aspects of our being. Music inspires us to reflect deeply, and music brings us great joy, and so much more. In the end, music connects us more deeply to Our World NOW.” —Yannick Nézet-Séguin 4 2020–21 Season 5 philorch.org / 215.893.1955 6A Thursday Yannick Leads Return to Brahms and Ravel Favorites the Academy Garrick Ohlsson Thursday, October 1 / 7:30 PM Thursday, January 21 / 7:30 PM Thursday, March 25 / 7:30 PM Academy of Music, Philadelphia Yannick Nézet-Séguin Conductor Michael Tilson Thomas Conductor Lisa Batiashvili Violin Yannick Nézet-Séguin Conductor Garrick Ohlsson Piano Hai-Ye Ni Cello Westminster Symphonic Choir Ravel Le Tombeau de Couperin Joe Miller Director Szymanowski Violin Concerto No.

  • PROGRAM NOTES Franz Liszt Piano Concerto No. 2 in a Major
    PROGRAM NOTES by Phillip Huscher Franz Liszt Born October 22, 1811, Raiding, Hungary. Died July 31, 1886, Bayreuth, Germany. Piano Concerto No. 2 in A Major Liszt composed this concerto in 1839 and revised it often, beginning in 1849. It was first performed on January 7, 1857, in Weimar, by Hans von Bronsart, with the composer conducting. The first American performance was given in Boston on October 5, 1870, by Anna Mehlig, with Theodore Thomas, who later founded the Chicago Symphony, conducting his own orchestra. The orchestra consists of three flutes and piccolo, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, two horns, two trumpets, three trombones and tuba, timpani, cymbals, and strings. Performance time is approximately twenty-two minutes. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s first subscription concert performances of Liszt’s Second Piano Concerto were given at the Auditorium Theatre on March 1 and 2, 1901, with Leopold Godowsky as soloist and Theodore Thomas conducting. Our most recent subscription concert performances were given at Orchestra Hall on March 19, 20, and 21, 2009, with Jean-Yves Thibaudet as soloist and Jaap van Zweden conducting. The Orchestra first performed this concerto at the Ravinia Festival on August 4, 1945, with Leon Fleisher as soloist and Leonard Bernstein conducting, and most recently on July 3, 1996, with Misha Dichter as soloist and Hermann Michael conducting. Liszt is music’s misunderstood genius. The greatest pianist of his time, he often has been caricatured as a mad, intemperate virtuoso and as a shameless and

    A Study of Tyzen Hsiao’s Piano Concerto, Op. 53: A Comparison with Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 D.M.A Document Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Lin-Min Chang, M.M. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2018 D.M.A. Document Committee: Professor Steven Glaser, Advisor Dr. Anna Gowboy Dr. Kia-Hui Tan Copyright by Lin-Min Chang 2018 2 ABSTRACT One of the most prominent Taiwanese composers, Tyzen Hsiao, is known as the “Sergei Rachmaninoff of Taiwan.” The primary purpose of this document is to compare and discuss his Piano Concerto Op. 53, from a performer’s perspective, with the Second Piano Concerto of Sergei Rachmaninoff. Hsiao’s preferences of musical materials such as harmony, texture, and rhythmic patterns are influenced by Romantic, Impressionist, and 20th century musicians incorporating these elements together with Taiwanese folk song into a unique musical style. This document consists of four chapters. The first chapter introduces Hsiao’s biography and his musical style; the second chapter focuses on analyzing Hsiao’s Piano Concerto Op. 53 in C minor from a performer’s perspective; the third chapter is a comparison of Hsiao and Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concertos regarding the similarities of orchestration and structure, rhythm and technique, phrasing and articulation, harmony and texture. The chapter also covers the differences in the function of the cadenza, and the interaction between solo piano and orchestra; and the final chapter provides some performance suggestions to the practical issues in regard to phrasing, voicing, technique, color, pedaling, and articulation of Hsiao’s Piano Concerto from the perspective of a pianist.

  • 0425 Program Notes
    Berkshire Symphony Orchestra Saturday, April 25, 2009 8:00 p.m. Program Notes Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Piano Concerto No. 23 in A Major, K. 488 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) is widely considered to be one of the most important Classical composers in music history. Many know of his style as playful and elegant, but he also wrote various works that were moodier and contained a Sturm und Drang quality. His 23rd Piano Concerto, K. 488 written in 1786 displays his more playful and cheerful style. The first movement is written in the double exposition form, meaning that the orchestra plays all of the major themes of the movement in the tonic key, A Major. When the pianist later comes in, Mozart fleshes out all of the themes and modulates to various keys. Mozart prominently displays the mature Classical Period stylistic qualities in this first movement. With the rise of the middle class, composers found that pieces that had a simple but melodic line with a tuneful quality to them were widely accepted by the public. One of Mozart’s most characteristic traits is his tendency to create small variations when repeating a phrase or a theme. This transformative quality is especially apparent in many themes of this concerto. Mozart himself probably played this concerto directly after it was written. In 1781 he paved a new road for composers because he decided to become a free-lance artist. Rebelling against the patronage system, Mozart wrote concertos that he would debut to the public to make a living. I chose this piece because I feel it is the best representation of Mozart’s elegant and deceptively simplistic style.

After 14 months away, it was wonderful last week to make our long-awaited return to our Barbican home, and to be able to reunite with audiences in person, sharing once again in the joy of live music. Sincere thanks to all of our supporters: your generosity has enabled us to continue sharing music with audiences across the globe through these challenging times, and now continues to assist our return to live performance and our recovery from the pandemic. With these concerts we welcome back LSO Conductor Laureate Michael Tilson Thomas, who has been sorely missed over the past year. Across four concerts at the Barbican and LSO St Luke’s, he conducts music by Grieg and Copland, piano concertos by Rachmaninoff and Shostakovich, and symphonies by Beethoven and Tchaikovsky. It is a pleasure to be joined also by soloist Yuja Wang, who has performed with the Orchestra and Michael Tilson Thomas regularly over the years, most recently in 2017 when she joined the Orchestra on tour in Europe. Following these London performances of Rachmaninoff’s and Shostakovich’s Second Piano Concertos, we look forward to Yuja Wang – and Michael Tilson Thomas – joining us for further concerts at Snape Maltings next week. I hope you enjoy these performances. Our thanks to all of you, our audience members, for your support.
