The Commissioning History of the Boston Symphony Orchestra

Currently on display in the Cohen Wing display cases is an exhibit that traces the origins and history of works commis- sioned by the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Drawing on materials preserved in the BSO Archives, including photographs, correspon- dence, and manuscript scores, the exhibit traces the BSO's commissioning activity back to the years directly preceding the BSO's fiftieth anniversary, when then BSO Music Director Serge Koussevitzky urged the Board of Trustees to commission new works in celebration of that anniversary. Shown here are Serge Koussevitzky, who was music director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra from 1924 to 1949, and the manuscript first page of Igor Stravinsky's Symphony of Psalms, a BSO fiftieth-anniversary commission which became one of the most significant works in the orchestral repertory.

SEIJI OZAWA

Seiji Ozawa is now in his twenty-fifth season as music direc- tor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. He will celebrate his twenty-fifth anniversary as music director during the 1998- 99 season. Mr. Ozawa became the BSO's thirteenth music director in 1973, after a year as music adviser; his tenure with the Boston Symphony is the longest of any music direc- tor currently active with an American orchestra. Throughout this time, Mr. Ozawa has maintained the orchestra's distin- guished reputation both at home and abroad, with concerts at Symphony Hall and Tanglewood, on tours to Europe, Japan, Hong Kong, China, and South America, and across the United States, including regular concerts in New York. Mr. Ozawa has upheld the BSO's commitment to new music through the commissioning of new works, including a series of centennial commissions marking the or- chestra's hundredth birthday in 1981, a series of works celebrating the fiftieth anniversary in 1990 of the Tanglewood Music Center, the orchestra's summer training program for young musicians, and a current series of commissions including new works this season by Leon Kirchner, Henri Dutilleux, and Peter Lieberson. In addition, he has recorded more than 130 works with the orchestra, representing more than fifty different composers, on ten labels. Mr. Ozawa has led the orchestra in European tours on eight occasions since 1976, in- cluding the orchestra's first tour devoted exclusively to appearances at the major European music festivals, in 1979; concerts in the fall of 1981 as part of the BSO's centennial tour of Europe and Japan; and further tours in 1984, 1988, and 1991. The most recent European tour under Mr. Ozawa's direction took place in December 1993, with concerts in London, Paris, Madrid, Vienna, Milan, Munich, and Prague. Mr. Ozawa and the orchestra have ap- peared in Japan on five occasions since 1978, most recently in December 1994, as part of a tour that also included concerts in Hong Kong. Mr. Ozawa led the orchestra in its first tour to South America in October 1992. Major tours of North America have included a March 1981 tour celebrating the orchestra's centennial, a tour in March 1983 to the midwestern United States, an eight-city tour spanning the continent in the spring of 1991, and an eight-city, nine- concert tour in February 1996. In March 1998 Mr. Ozawa and the orchestra made a nine- concert European tour, with performances in London, Paris, Vienna, Munich, and Athens. In addition to his work with the Boston Symphony, Mr. Ozawa appears regularly with the Berlin Philharmonic, the New Japan Philharmonic, the London Symphony, the Orchestre National de France, and the Vienna Philharmonic. He made his Metropolitan Opera debut in December 1992, appears regularly at La Scala and the Vienna Staatsoper, and has also conducted opera at the Paris Opera, Salzburg, and Covent Garden. In September 1992 he founded the Saito Kinen Festival in Matsumoto, Japan, in memory of his teacher Hideo Saito, a central figure in the cultivation of Western music and musical technique in Japan, and a co-founder of the Toho School of Music in Tokyo. In addition to his many Boston Sym- phony recordings, Mr. Ozawa has recorded with the Berlin Philharmonic, the Chicago Sym- phony, the London Philharmonic, the Orchestre National, the Orchestre de Paris, the Phil- harmonia of London, the Saito Kinen Orchestra, the San Francisco Symphony, the Toronto Symphony, and the Vienna Philharmonic, among others. Born in 1935 in Shenyang, China, Seiji Ozawa studied music from an early age and later graduated with first prizes in composition and conducting from Tokyo's Toho School of Music, where he was a student of Hideo Saito. In 1959 he won first prize at the International Com- petition of Orchestra Conductors held in Besangon, France. Charles Munch, then music director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, subsequently invited him to attend the Tangle- wood Music Center, where he won the Koussevitzky Prize for outstanding student conductor in 1960. While working with Herbert von Karajan in West Berlin, Mr. Ozawa came to the attention of Leonard Bernstein, who appointed him assistant conductor of the New York Philharmonic for the 1961-62 season. He made his first professional concert appearance in North America in January 1962, with the San Francisco Symphony. He was music director

8 of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra's Ravinia Festival for five summers beginning in 1964, music director of the Toronto Symphony from 1965 to 1969, and music director of the San Francisco Symphony from 1970 to 1976, followed by a year as that orchestra's music advis- er. He conducted the Boston Symphony Orchestra for the first time in 1964, at Tanglewood, and made his first Symphony Hall appearance with the orchestra in January 1968. In 1970 he became an artistic director of Tanglewood. In December 1997 Seiji Ozawa was named 1998 "Musician of the Year" by "Musical America." In February 1998, fulfilling a longtime ambition of joining musicians across the globe, he closed the Opening Ceremonies at the Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan, lead- ing a performance of the 'Ode to Joy" from Beethoven's Ninth Symphony with performers including six choruses—in Japan, Australia, China, Germany, South Africa, and the United States—linked by satellite. In 1994 Mr. Ozawa became the first recipient of Japan's Inouye Sho ("Inouye Award"). Created to recognize lifetime achievement in the arts, the award is named after this century's preeminent Japanese novelist, Yasushi Inouye. In September that same year he received his second Emmy award, for Individual Achievement in Cultural Pro- gramming, for "Dvorak in Prague: A Celebration," with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. He won his first Emmy for the Boston Symphony Orchestra's PBS television series "Evening at Symphony." Mr. Ozawa holds honorary doctor of music degrees from the University of Massachusetts, the New England Conservatory of Music, and Wheaton College in Norton, Massachusetts. Mr. Ozawa's compact discs with the Boston Symphony Orchestra include, on Philips, the complete cycle of Mahler symphonies, Mahler's Kindertotenlieder with Jessye Norman, Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra and The Miraculous Mandarin, Richard Strauss's Elektra with Hildegard Behrens in the title role, and Schoenberg's Gurrelieder with Jessye Norman, James McCracken, and Tatiana Troyanos. EMI has issued "The American Album" with Itzhak Perlman, a Grammy-winning disc of music for violin and orchestra by Bernstein, Barber, and Foss. Recordings on Deutsche Grammophon include Mendelssohn's complete incidental music to A Midsummer Nights Dream, with Kathleen Battle and Frederica von Stade; violin concertos of Bartok and Moret with Anne-Sophie Mutter; Shostakovich and Schumann concertos with violinist Gidon Kremer; Poulenc's Gloria and Stabat mater with Kathleen Battle; and Liszt's two piano concertos and Totentanz with Krystian Zimerman.

11 Farewell and Thanks

We**sJ

Alfred Genovese Alfred Schneidei Gottfried Wilfinger Timothy Morrison

Three Boston Symphony Orchestra members—principal oboe Alfred Genovese, violin- ist Alfred Schneider, and violinist Gottfried Wilfinger—will retire this year, Messrs. Genovese and Schneider at the end of the 1998 Tanglewood season, and Mr. Wilfinger at the end of the 1998 Pops season, representing 112 years of cumulative service to the BSO. In addition, Timothy Morrison, associate principal trumpet of the BSO and prin- cipal trumpet of the Boston Pops Orchestra, who is on leave this season, is resigning from the orchestra to pursue a career as a freelance and solo player.

A native of Philadelphia, Alfred Genovese began studying oboe in high school and was awarded a scholarship to attend the city's prestigious Curtis Institute of Music when he was seventeen; there he studied with world-renowned oboist Marcel Tabuteau. Mr. Genovese comes from a musical family: his father was a professional musician, and two of his brothers also attended the Curtis Institute, going on to hold positions in major American orchestras. Following his graduation, Mr. Genovese was principal oboist with the Baltimore and St. Louis symphonies, the Cleveland Orchestra under George Szell, and the Metropolitan Opera. He joined the Boston Symphony Orchestra in 1977 and was appointed principal oboe by Music Director Seiji Ozawa in 1990, after serving for three seasons as acting principal. A member of the Boston Symphony Chamber Players since 1987, he has taught at the New England Conservatory of Music, performed at the Marlboro Music Festival in Vermont for eight seasons, and also participated in the Casals Festival in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Upon his retirement, Mr. Genovese will have completed twenty-one years as a member of the BSO.

Now in his forty-third season with the Boston Symphony, violinist Alfred Schneider was born in St. Louis, where his early teachers were Louis Druzinsky, Max Tartasky, and Francis Jones of the St. Louis Symphony. At the Eastman School of Music, he studied violin with Jacques Gordon and Andre de Ribaupierre and chamber music with Luigi Silva. After receiving his bachelor's and master's degrees from Eastman, he at- tended the Tanglewood Music Center. Mr. Schneider became a member of the Roches- ter Civic Orchestra and the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, subsequently returning to his hometown as a violinist with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra. In 1955 he was appointed a member of the Boston Symphony Orchestra by Charles Munch. In addition to his orchestral work, Mr. Schneider has remained active as chamber musician (in- cluding concerts in Israel and Germany), solo performer, conductor, and teacher. With three BSO colleagues he was a founding member of the Gabrielli String Quartet.

Violinist Gottfried Wilfinger joined the Boston Symphony Orchestra in 1950, when Charles Munch was music director; upon his retirement he will have completed forty- eight years with the BSO. Mr. Wilfinger grew up admiring Jascha Heifetz and Fritz Kreisler, whose influence led him to set his sights on a musical career. A native of Allentown, Pennsylvania, he attended the Settlement School of Music in Philadelphia, where he studied with Raphael Bronstein, and continued his studies at the New Eng-

12 land Conservatory of Music, where his teacher was Richard Burgin. His teachers also included Naum Blinder and Henri Temianka. In 1948 and 1949 he was a fellowship student at the Tanglewood Music Center. Mr. Wilfinger performed in numerous re- citals and concerts while living in San Francisco; his appearances as soloist included the Philadelphia Orchestra and the Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra. A charter mem- ber of the Boston Fine Arts Quartet, he was also a member and assistant concertmaster of the Zimbler Sinfonietta.

Born in Oregon and a graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music, Timothy Morrison joined the Boston Symphony Orchestra in 1980 as fourth trumpet. After leav- ing the BSO in 1984 to tour and record with the Empire Brass Quintet, he returned in 1987 as assistant principal/third trumpet of the BSO and principal trumpet of the Bos- ton Pops Orchestra. In 1994 he was named associate principal trumpet of the BSO. Besides his duties at Symphony Hall, Mr. Morrison has performed frequently as a solo- ist, having appeared with orchestras in the United States, Japan, Europe, and South America. As principal trumpet of the Boston Pops Orchestra, he has been a featured soloist in concerts, television broadcasts, and recordings. His film credits have includ- ed significant trumpet parts in John Williams's scores to Born on the Fourth of July, JFK, Nixon, and the forthcoming Saving Private Ryan. Mr. Morrison has served on the faculties of Boston University, the Boston Conservatory, and the New England Conser- vatory of Music.

We extend our sincere thanks, appreciation, and best wishes to these four gentlemen for their devotion and dedication to the Boston Symphony Orchestra and to the entire musical community of Boston.

13 In Memoriam

Thomas D. Perry, Jr. December 31, 1913-August 24, 1997

Thomas D. ("Tod") Perry, Jr., a chief administrator of the Boston Symphony Orchestra for nearly twenty-five years, died at his West Stockbridge home last summer, just hours before the BSO's closing TanglewOod con- cert, which was dedicated to his memory. Mr. Perry's association with the BSO began in 1940, when he spent the summer as a student at the Tanglewood Music Center. Mr. Perry returned to the BSO in 1946 as assis- tant to then manager George E. Judd, whom he suc- ceeded in 1954. In 1973 he was named Executive Director of the BSO, a position he held until his retire- ment in 1978, later becoming a Trustee and then a Life Trustee of the orchestra. Mr. Perry's career with the BSO spanned the tenures of five music directors: Serge Koussevitzky, Charles Munch, Erich Leinsdorf, William Steinberg, and Seiji Ozawa. Under his leader- ship the BSO made its first European tour, and became the first American orches- tra to tour Russia and then the Far East. During his tenure Tanglewood grew in size and stature, expanding to eight weeks, and the Tanglewood Music Center became one of the world's finest schools for young musicians. Following his re- tirement Mr. Perry remained active in Tanglewood's development, playing key roles in the integration of the Highwood estate and the conceptualization and design of Seiji Ozawa Hall. Raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Mr. Perry graduated from Yale, where he majored in English, in 1935 and then taught English for two years in Delaware, after which he joined the staff of a Philadelphia advertising agency. In September 1939 he was hired to take charge of radio and concert activities at the Curtis Insti- tute of Music by Randall Thompson, who first suggested that he study at the Tangle- wood Music Center, and later that he join the BSO's administrative staff. Prior to his work with the BSO, Mr. Perry spent two years managing the concert bureau of the New England Mutual Insurance Company in Boston and served from 1944 to 1946 in the Medical Corps of the U.S. Navy. Mr. Perry was a member of the Stockbridge Bowl Association, the Berkshire Farm School, the Berkshire Choral Institute, the Berkshire Botanical Gardens, and the St. Botolph Club in Boston. He enjoyed playing the piano and owned sev- eral antique automobiles. He married the former Helen Roberts of Philadelphia on December 16, 1939—Beethoven's birthday. They lived in Hingham from 1950 to 1963 and in Boston from 1963 until his retirement in 1978, when they moved to West Stockbridge. In addition to his wife Helen, he leaves two sons—Doane, of Richmond and Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Rodney, of Rochester, New York —a daughter, Judith, of Pittsfield, Massachusetts, eight grandchildren, and one great-grandchild. No one who knew Tod Perry—whether as family member, colleague, or friend —will ever forget him. He was by common consent one of the most gracious, kind, intelligent, and strong human beings one could ever know, a man with a gift for making everyone he met feel equally valued. Contributions in Mr. Perry's memory may be sent to the Tanglewood Music Center, Symphony Hall, Boston, MA 02115.

Toru Takemitsu Asterism, for piano and orchestra riverrun, for piano and orchestra

Toru Takemitsu was born in Tokyo, Japan, on October 8, 1930, and died there on February 20, 1996. He composed Asterism in 1967; the first performance took place in Toronto in 1969, with Yuki Takahashi as piano soloist and Seiji Ozawa conducting the Toronto Sym- phony Orchestra. With Seiji Ozawa conducting, Peter Serkin was soloist for the only previous Boston Sym- phony performance on July 18, 1997, at Tanglewood. In addition to the solo piano, the score calls for three flutes (two doubling piccolo), two oboes, three clarinets, two bassoons (one doubling contrabassoon), four horns, three trumpets (one doubling piccolo trumpet), three trombones, tuba, a large percussion ensemble (six play- ers), two harps, celesta, and strings.

Toru Takemitsu was Japan's best-known composer of our time, both at home and in the West. His career came about as an unlikely result of an accident that occurred when he was sixteen. While mountain climbing, he dropped his camera into a waterfall. In trying to retrieve it, he caught pneumonia, and was forced to spend a long period convalescing at home. There he listened to music on the radio for hours on end and—though he had never studied music up to that time—decided to be a composer. He bought scores and taught himself to play the piano. Though he became the private pupil of Kosuji Kiyose at the age of eighteen, he was largely self-taught as a composer. Within three years he had organized Tokyo's Experimental Workshop, a society for the performance of avant- garde music, and in 1966 he created, with Seiji Ozawa and Toshi Ichiyanagi, the group Orchestral Space.

Takemitsu's earlier music made fleeting obeisance to the expressionism of the second Viennese school or to the melodic and harmonic gestures of French music in this cen- tury from Debussy to Messiaen. But for the most part his music is entirely sui generis. He does not concern himself with traditional theory or musical structures. His rhythms are irregular and very flexible. His harmonies are not functional. For the most part, he was interested in timbre and texture, in the most varied and delicate colors of sound

i and, as a corollary, with silence. Much of his music finds inspiration in poetry, especially the work of his favorite writer, Mahota Ooka, a contemporary of the composer's.

Takemitsu's earliest large work, his Requiem for string orchestra (1957), was heard in

1959 by Igor Stravinsky, who declared it to be a masterpiece. After giving lectures with John Cage at the East-West Center in Hawaii in 1964, Takemitsu staged a series of "events" in Tokyo in collaboration with Cage and others. At the same time, he became interested anew in such traditional Japanese instruments as the biwa and the shaku- hachi. He used the biwa in his 1962 film score Seppuku and later employed both instruments in a sort of double concerto called November Steps, composed in 1967 for the 125th anniversary of the New York Philharmonic. Other film scores came from his pen, including music for the well-known 1964 film Woman of the Dunes and the 1985 Ran, Akira Kurosawa's magnificent Japanese treatment of King Lear. In these, and in a large output of pieces for orchestra and for various instrumental combinations, Take- mitsu has demonstrated an ability to fuse oriental musical gestures with those from the West in a language that is personal and idiomatic.

Owing to Seiji Ozawa's long acquaintance with Takemitsu and his collaboration with the composer in performances going back two decades at least, Boston audiences had a number of opportunities over the years to hear new compositions by Takemitsu as they

Boston Symphony performances of his works have included the Requiem for string orchestra at Tanglewood in 1967; November Steps No. 1 in November 1969; Cas- siopeia for percussionist and orchestra at Tanglewood in 1971, repeated in Boston that November with The Dorian Horizon for strings; Quatrain (with the chamber ensemble Tashi) in March 1977 and at Tanglewood that July; A Flock Descends into the Pentag- onal Garden in November and December 1978; To the Edge of Dream for guitar and orchestra in November 1977; the piano concerto riverrun at Tanglewood in July 1985; the orchestral Dream/Window in April 1988, the percussion concerto From Me Flows What You Call Time (not performed in Boston, but given its world premiere by the BSO at Carnegie Hall, for the centenary of which it was written), the cello concerto Orion and Pleiades in October 1990, and the chamber orchestra work Tree Line in Oc- tober 1994. Takemitsu was an artist-in-residence at Tanglewood in 1986; several of his smaller works were performed during that summer's Festival of Contemporary Music, which also saw the American premiere of Dream/Window. In November 1996, Mr. Ozawa and the orchestra gave the American premiere of Takemitsu's My Way of Life, for bari- tone, chorus, and orchestra; this was repeated at Tanglewood last summer, in the same concert that included the BSO's first performance of Asterism.

Takemitsu's music has always been highly colorful, built up from tiny "moments" of sonority that take on a life of their own, putting out shoots and tendrils like a budding plant, surrounding the listener in a veritable jungle of sonorous effects. This approach to music is related to the impressionism of a composer like Debussy, and to French music in general, which has always seemed an important element in Takemitsu's back- ground. Nature is often a background, implicit or explicit, in Takemitsu's music. Water, the stars, and trees have all provided specific impetus. Indeed, he has compared his music to sub-species of eucalyptus, which appear different from one another, but come from the same origin. Similarly his musical gestures avoid the contrasting themes and rationalistic development processes of the European sonata form; rather, they grow out of gestures that may be related but that each function as unique entities.

Asterism is the first of a series of compositions whose titles—and, in some cases, specific inspiration—come from starry constellations. Like his other works for piano and orchestra (including Arc [1963-1976] and riverrun [1984]), Asterism does not pro- ject the character of a concerto, a virtuoso showpiece for a heroic soloist set against a powerful orchestra. They are, rather, orchestral works with the piano playing a signifi- cant but not overwhelming role, adding color to the spread-out focus of the sonorities. The composer notes in a postscript to the score that Asterism simply signifies a group of

The pianist begins with a phrase of two measures, interrupted in the third mea- sure by a free-rhythm passage "senza tempo''' ("without tempo"). The work unfolds as a free variation on the opening figure, with passages in metrical time alternating with those in free time. The latter grow increasingly dominant, thus producing a kind of "cos- mic breathing" (in the words of Akimichi Takeda) between the measured and the "free" sections. Over its course, the work traces a long crescendo, and its climax reiterates the crescendo from ppp tofff. Takemitsu requests that the "senza tempo''' passage here be "as long as possible—the composer's request is two minutes or more." The work ends on a quieter note with a short coda.

Takemitsu completed riverrun, for piano and orchestra, in 1984; it was commissioned by the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association for Peter Serkin, who gave the first perform- ance on January 10, 1985, with Simon Rattle conducting the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles. With Seiji Ozawa conducting, Peter Serkin was soloist for the only previous Boston Symphony performance on July 12, 1985, at Tanglewood. In addition to the solo piano, the score calls for three flutes (second dou- bling piccolo, third doubling alto flute), three oboes (third doubling English horn), three clarinets in B-flat (second doubling E-flat clarinet), contrabass clarinet in B-flat, three bassoons (third doubling contrabassoon), four horns, trumpet in D, two trumpets in C, three trombones, timpani, glockenspiel, vibraphone, tubular bells, marimba, xylophone, three tam-tams (high, medium, and low), celesta, two harps, and strings.

When riverrun was premiered in Los Angeles, the composer provided the following brief commentary:

riverrun, for piano and orchestra, is a work inspired by James Joyce's Finnegans Wake, as were the string quartet A Way A Lone, and Far Calls, Coming Far! for violin and orchestra. These are all deeply connected with the image of water. The music flows in the form of a musical tributary derived from a certain main current, wending its way through the scenery of night toward the sea of tonality. The motif, and the intervals of the major seventh and the major third, almost like simple symbols, gradually disperse and always give birth to a variety of melodic subspecies. While they sometimes confront one another, they do not necessarily represent a dialectic development, but continually keep occurring, disappearing, and recurring.

As this commentary suggests, Takemitsu found inspiration for a series of works from Joyce's remarkable novel, which traces the night's sleep of a single character. The dream qualities of the novel appear as mystical elements in Takemitsu's scores, and the asso- ciations with water (whether in its natural state, or as whisky—etymologically "water of life") appear in the musical motif derived from the English word "sea" turned into three pitches: E-flat (S, in German terminology), E, A. This SEA motif—a semitone fol- lowed by a perfect fourth—shapes the language of the piece, as Takemitsu builds his "sea of tonality" by pantonic manipulation.

"riverrun" is the opening word of Finnegans Wake and also the concluding word of the novel's last sentence. Takemitsu's score suggests the circularity of the novel in the mood of the music to the concerto, which opens as if continuing a conversation of which we have missed the beginning. It is as unlike a traditional concerto as one can imag- ine; the soloist is simply a part of the orchestra, projecting a mood of reflection. This score inspired the American composer John Adams, whose 1989 Eros Piano begins by taking off from the final bars of riverrun.

24 Antonixi Dvorak Symphony No. 7 in D minor, Opus 70

Antonin Dvorak was born in Nelahozeves (Miihlhausen), Bohemia, near Prague, on September 8, 1841, and died in Prague on May 1, 1904. Dvorak began sketching this D minor symphony on December 13, 1884; the final score was completed on March 17, 1885. The composer

conducted the first performance on April 22 that year, in a concert of the London Philharmonic Society in St. James's Hall. By June he had made a cut in the slow movement before declaring the score definitive. Theodore Thomas led the New York Philharmonic Society in the

first American performance on January 8, 1886. Wilhelm Gericke introduced the symphony to Boston audiences in a Boston Symphony performance at the old Music Hall

on October 22, 1886. Since then it has been programmed by Arthur Nikisch, Emil Paur, Pierre Monteux, Erich J^einsdorf, Stanislaw Skrowaczewski, Donald Johanos, Sir Colin Davis, Joseph Silverstein, Jeffrey Tate, Andre Previn (the most recent Tanglewood performance, in August 1990), Bernard Haitink, and Franz Welser- Most (the most recent subscription performances, in March 1996). The score calls for flutes, oboes, clarinets, and bassoons in pairs, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones, timpani, and strings.

Five years elapsed between the composition of Dvorak's Sixth and Seventh symphonies, but they were years of increasing fame and busy composition in other genres, including the brilliant Scherzo capriccioso, the dramatic Hussite Overture, and the closely argued F minor trio. His opera Dmitri (which, in terms of its plot, is a sequel to Mussorgsky's Boris Godunov) had been performed in Prague and the comic opera The Cunning Peas- ant in Hamburg. Most important for Dvorak's international reputation, though, was the extraordinary popularity that he enjoyed in London after Joseph Barnby introduced his Stabat Mater in 1883. He himself conducted the Stabat Mater and other works, includ- ing the Sixth Symphony, during a London visit made in the spring of 1884 at the invita- tion of the Royal Philharmonic Society. Throughout his visit he was warmly feted by the English. As he wrote to a friend,

I am convinced that England offers me a new and certainly happier future, and one which I hope may benefit our entire Czech art. The English are a fine people,

whose art they have enjoyed. God grant that it may be so with me. Not long after his return home, Dvorak learned that the Philharmonic Society had elected him a member; at the same time, the society requested a new symphony.

Though the commission was tendered in June, Dvorak did not rush into the work. In fact, he waited six months before starting to sketch, and even then the composition in- volved more than his usual amount of preliminary work and later rewriting. No doubt he was consciously aiming to do his best not only for the English orchestra that request- ed the work, but also for his mentor Johannes Brahms, whose Third Symphony, performed just a short time before, was both a challenge and an inspiration as Dvorak once again prepared to enter the lists of symphonic composition. Many writers consider the result- ing symphony to be Dvorak's greatest single achievement, a work of powerful and varied moods, a nationalistic symphony that offers more than quaint touristy views of peasant dances (a stereotype of the nationalistic schools), that offers, indeed, the highest degree of musical seriousness and refinement.

Once Dvorak began the actual process of sketching, on December 13, 1884, things seem at the outset to have gone fairly quickly, the first movement being outlined in but five days. By the end of the year he had drafted the slow movement, and the scherzo followed by January 9. The sketch for the finale is undated, but the entire work was finished by March 17, 1885. Still, for all the evident speed with which the symphony was composed, the sketches were only very preliminary versions and required at least one more stage of reworking (now lost) before the composer could begin the full score. The sketch for the finale, in particular, caused him trouble; the pages that survive are incomplete.

Though he mentioned the symphony in progress to various friends all along, his pub- lisher Simrock did not know of its existence until Dvorak wrote to him in February.

The new symphony has already occupied me for a long, long time, but it must be something respectable for I don't want to let Brahms down after his remark to me: "I imagine your symphony quite different from this one [the preceding symphony, in D major]." Simrock was not especially impressed, even when the premiere of the symphony\in London, under the composer's direction, turned out to be a brilliant success. He insisted that symphonies never earn any money for the publisher and offered Dvorak only 3,000 marks for the work, precipitating an argument that was not settled for

28 months. (What Simrock really wanted—constantly—was ever more sets of Slavonic Dances for piano four-hands: they sold like hotcakes.) Even when the dispute was set- tled during a personal meeting between publisher and composer, Simrock showed a lamentable lack of sensitivity to the nationalistic sentiment inherent in Dvorak's re- quest that the title be printed in Czech—or at least Czech and German—rather than in German only. He never did understand why the composer objected to having his first name Germanicized as "Anton" on all of his title pages.

When the score was published in the autumn of 1885, Simrock's title page contrib- uted to a long-lasting confusion in the numbering of the Dvorak symphonies. Since it was only the second of his symphonies to appear in print, it was published as "No. 2." But the manuscript described the work as Dvorak's "6th Symphony"—and it was actu- ally his seventh! (He had composed a symphony early on for entry in a competition, and when he was unable to get the score back afterwards, he apparently assumed that the work was lost forever, and numbered his remaining symphonies for the rest of his life as if he had never composed that early first symphony; that score was rediscovered after Dvorak's death, and the standard numbering now follows the order of composition.) The published score bore no dedication—not even to the Philharmonic Society. But Dvorak's manuscript bears a private inscription. After he had heard a pair of stunning performances of the symphony given in Berlin under the direction of Hans von Billow

PRUDENTIAL CENTERBOS TON

30 on October 27 and 28, 1889, the composer pasted a photograph of von Btilow to the title page of his score and added the words, "Hail! It was you who brought the work to life!"

Dvorak's enthusiasm for von Billow's performance was in part caused by the fact that this symphony had been received with scant success on the Continent at its first per- formance, in Vienna, under Hans Richter. Richter himself had written to the composer expressing his dismay with the reaction of the Viennese audience, then as now among the most conservative to be found in the world. "Our Philharmonic audiences," wrote Richter, "are often—well, let us say, queer. I shan't, however, let that put me off." But Richter noted that the new symphony absolutely required "a dramatically trained con- ductor—a Wagnerian (Hans Billow will forgive me!)" to do full justice to its range of mood.*

The symphony opens with a theme of deep Slavic foreboding, lyrical in character but built of motives that could serve as the germ for development. The first page of the final score contains a note in the composer's hand that reveals, "The main theme occurred to me when the festival train from Pest arrived at the State station in 1884." The theme certainly has little of "festival" character, but the train in question (Dvorak was noted for his fondness for locomotives and his familiarity with their schedules) brought dozens of anti-Hapsburg patriots to a National Theater Festival in Prague, so it is not unlikely

*The reference to forgiveness has to do with the fact that Hans von Biilow had once been one of the closest of Wagner's associates—and conducted the world premieres of Tristan and Meister- singer—all the while that Wagner was carrying on a not-very-secret affair with his wife Cosima. Indeed, she bore Wagner two children while she was still married to Biilow. Needless to say, after the eventual divorce, Biilow changed camps and became a leading exponent of Brahms rather than Wagner.

Some of the transitional themes are related to ideas in the Hussite Overture, another recent patriotic score composed in memory of the fourteenth-century Czech religious reformer Jan Hus; these, too, no doubt arose from patriotic connections in Dvorak's mind. These stern reflections usher in a rocking, sunny secondary theme that contrasts strikingly with the other material. The concentration of both development and recapitulation make this one of Dvorak's densest symphonic movements in terms of sheer quality of incident.

The Poco adagio begins with a square-cut melodic phrase that comes to its ordained end after eight measures, raising visions of possible theme-and-variations form with a series of starts and stops. But immediately after the statement of that theme, the musi- cal thought opens out to become increasingly chromatic and expressive in a movement filled with wonderful touches of poignancy and colorful elaboration in the orchestral writing.

The scherzo is written in 6/4 time, but from the beginning there is an exhilarating conflict between the two beats per measure of 6/4 (in the accompaniment) and the three beats per measure of 3/2 that the ear perceives in the melody. This is, in fact, afuriant, a characteristic Czech dance. Dvorak worked hard at the rhythmic lightness evident throughout this utterly delightful movement, so spontaneous in effect that it is difficult to realize the amount of sketching and rewriting that went into its bubbling effervescence. In stark contrast, the finale begins in a mood of tragedy—starting right from the intense opening phrase, the last three notes of which are repeated to begin a slow, hymnlike march—with vivid themes developed to a majestic close that only turns definitively to the major in the last bars.

Almost all of the many books and articles about Tom Takemitsu are available only in Japanese. The one useful exception is Noriko Ohtake's Creative Sources for the Music of Toru Takemitsu (Scolar Press, available in the United States from Ashgate Publishing Company, Brookfield, Vermont). Since the composer's death, many of his works have appeared (or reappeared) on disc. Paul Crossley has recorded riverrun with the London Sinfonietta conducted by Oliver Knussen (Virgin Classics, with Rain Coming, Tree Line, and Water Ways). Peter Serkin's recording of solo piano music by Takemitsu includes Litany, Uninterrupted Rest, Piano Distance, Far Away, Les Yeux clos I and II, and Rain

Tree Sketches I and II (RCA Victor Red Seal). Seiji Ozawa has recorded many of Take- mitsu's works, including Quatrain and A Flock Descends into the Pentagonal Garden (with the Boston Symphony Orchestra on Deutsche Grammophon) and November Steps, Eclipse for shakuhachi and biwa, and the Viola Concerto (A String Around Autumn) with the Saito Kinen Orchestra (Philips).

There are two good studies of Dvorak by John Clapham: Antonin Dvorak: Musician and Craftsman, more concerned with the composer's music than with his life (St. Martin's, currently out of print), and Antonin Dvorak, a more purely biographical account (Norton). Clapham also contributed the Dvorak article to The New Grove; this is also available separately in The New Grove Late Romantic Masters (Norton paperback, in a volume also containing the New Grove articles on Bruckner, Brahms, and Wolf). The most important source materials for Dvorak's life were published by Otakar Sourek in Antonin Dvorak: Letters and Reminiscences (Artia). Alec Robertson's Dvorak in the Master Musicians series is an enthusiastic brief survey of life and works (Littlefield paperback). Also use- ful are Robert Layton's BBC Music Guide on Dvorak Symphonies & Concertos (Univer- sity of Washington paperback) and Julius Harrison's chapter on Dvorak in The Symphony:

I. Haydn to Dvorak, edited by Robert Simpson (Pelican paperback). Some of the best recent research on Dvorak, along with first English translations of important sources previously available only in Czech, can be found in Dvorak and his World, edited by Michael Beckerman (Princeton). Donald Francis Tovey's program note on the Dvorak

Seventh can be found in his Essays in Musical Analysis (Oxford paperback), where it is listed as the composer's Symphony No. 2 according to the old system of numbering Dvorak's symphonies (see page 29). My favorite recordings of the Seventh include Andre Previn's with the Los Angeles Philharmonic (Telarc, with the unfamiliar overture My Home), Vaclav Neumann's with the Czech Philharmonic (Supraphon, in a two-disc set with the Eighth and Ninth symphonies), and Neeme Jarvi's with the Scottish National Or- chestra (Chandos, with The Golden Spinning Wheel).

36 Peter Serkin American pianist Peter Serkin is acclaimed for his performances with orchestra, as recitalist, as chamber music collaborator, and as recording artist. Mr. Serkin's musical heritage extends back several generations. His grandfather was the violinist and composer Adolf Busch and his father the pianist Rudolf Serkin. In 1958 he entered the Curtis Institute of Music, where he studied with Lee Luvisi, Mieczyslaw Horszowski, and Rudolf Serkin. He also studied with Ernst Oster, Marcel Moyse, and Karl Ulrich Schnabel. In 1959, at twelve, he made his debut at the Marlboro Music Festival, followed by his New York debut that fall; both debuts were conducted by his close friend and colleague Alexander Schneider. Concerto performances with Eugene Or- mandy and George Szell followed, and Mr. Serkin has since performed with the world's major symphony orchestras and played chamber music with, among others, Alexander Schneider, Pablo Casals, the Budapest String Quartet, the Guarneri String Quartet, and Tashi, of which he was a founding member. The first pianist to receive the Premio Internazionale Musicale Chigiana, in recognition of his outstanding artistic achievement. Mr. Serkin combines a long-standing and absorbing interest in contemporary music with an ongoing exploration of the standard classical repertoire, bringing a remarkable diversity to his programs, which interweave such composers as Wolpe, Takemitsu, Messiaen, and Peter Lieberson with Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven. The late composer Toru Takemitsu wrote seven works for Mr. Serkin, including riverrun. Takemitsu's Between Tides, a trio written for Mr. Serkin, Pamela Frank, and Yo-Yo Ma, was premiered in 1993 at the Berlin Festival. Mr. Serkin is acclaimed for his renditions of Mozart sonatas and concertos. With Alexander Schneider and the English Chamber Orchestra he recorded a prizewinning set of the six concertos composed by Mozart in 1784; this was named "Best Recording of the Year" and one of the best recordings of the past two decades by Stereo Review. Recent releases featuring Mr. Serkin on the BMG Classics/ ". RCA Victor Red Seal label include . .in real time," a disc of solo works written for him by Lieberson, Knussen, Henze, Berio, Goehr, Takemitsu, and Kirchner; a compilation album of solo Takemitsu piano music, a project designed by Mr. Serkin following the death of his friend and colleague; three Beethoven sonatas; Bach's Goldberg Variations and Italian Con- certo; Bach's Two- and Three-part Inventions; and a contemporary album featuring music of Webern, Wolpe, Messiaen, Takemitsu, Wuorinen, and Lieberson. Earlier this season Mr. Serkin premiered two new solo piano works composed by Peter Lieberson and Oliver Knussen in memory of Takemitsu. Other engagements this season have included a two- piano recital tour of the United States with Andras Schiff, solo recitals in the northeastern United States, including a performance at New York's Lincoln Center, a variety of chamber music collaborations with, among others, the Schoenberg Ensemble, the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, and the Guarneri Quartet, and orchestral engagements with the Los Angeles Philharmonic under Oliver Knussen, the Chicago Symphony under Daniel Barenboim, the Philadelphia Orchestra under Christoph Eschenbach, and the London Sinfonietta. Peter Serkin is on the faculties of the Juilliard School, the Curtis Institute of Music, and the Tanglewood Music Center. He has performed frequently with the Boston Symphony Orchestra in Symphony Hall and at Tanglewood since his BSO debut in July 1970, most recently at Tanglewood this past summer.

It has been more than fifteen years since Seiji Ozawa and the Boston Symphony Orchestra performed Bach's St. John Passion in Symphony Hall, and well over a

decade since the last BSO performance of the B minor Mass. But it has been still longer since the last BSO performance of the St. Matthew Passion, one of the supreme masterpieces of European music. Composed for the Good Friday service in Bach's church in Leipzig, probably in 1727, the St. Matthew Passion recounts the story of the last days of Jesus in a dramatic musical setting for narrator and singers representing the different characters in the story, following the account in the Gospel According to Matthew. These scenes are interspersed with personal reflections on the meaning of the events, sung by the soloists, and with communal reflections sung by the chorus, thus producing an elaborate expressive tapestry of words and music.
