The pure excitement and inspiration from the musicianship and artistry on the stage have the potential to change young people’s lives, and this is just one of many reasons this performance is so vital to Cincinnati’s arts community. This year’s conductor for the program, CSO As- sistant Conductor Gene Chang, is particularly pas- sionate about this program because of the possibility of mentorship. “For the students, the Side-by-Side is an incredible opportunity to play alongside musicians from one of the world’s greatest orchestras, which is not only a great learning experience but a real thrill.” One thing about this concert is the give and take of knowledge and engagement between all musi- cians—professional and student. Chang says, “It’s wonderful to see just how involved and invested the CSO musicians are in this concert.

cincinnatisymphony.org | FANFARE CINCINNATI | 21 PROGRAM NOTES: Mar 2–3 © 2017–18 Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra
We are truly honored to welcome one of today’s most revered conductors, Marek Janowski, to the CSO podium this weekend. His mastery of musical structure and orchestral color makes him one of the most celebrated Wagner interpreters, as does his experience conducting The Ring Cycle at the Bayreuth Festival. It is a privilege to hear him conducting this beautiful German program in Cincinnati. Siegfried Idyll was a sublime birthday gift that Wagner offered to his wife, Cosima (daughter of Franz Liszt), on her 33rd birthday. The transparency of the orchestration and the intimacy of expression makes the Idyll one of the most evocative, sublime and luminous pieces of the repertoire. Tristan und Isolde is, without doubt, Wagner’s most influential composition, an opera that changed the course of history of the genre; the Prelude and Liebestod performed on this program comes from the first and last scenes of this haunting masterpiece. The program closes with Bruckner’s magnificent Symphony No. 4, Romantic, a title he himself assigned to the work. Although Bruckner wrote programmatic notes: Daybreak—Morning calls sound from the city towers—The gates open—etc., I invite you to listen to the Symphony’s pure, imposing and evocative musical language. —Louis Langrée

WHAT TO LISTEN FOR: Themes from Act III of Wagner’s Siegfried in the Siegfried Idyll, including the triumphant horn call that celebrates the love between Siegfried and Brünnhilde. The opening notes of Wagner’s Prelude and Liebestod, first played softly in the cellos then fading to the famous “Tristan Chord,” an unresolved dissonance in the oboes, bassoons and English horn. The so-called “Bruckner rhythm,” in which the first half of the measure is divided into two and the second half into three, that appears first in the opening movement of the Symphony No. 4 and repeats throughout, as well as the celebrated third-movement “hunting” scherzo, which opens with vigorous horn calls.
QUESTIONS TO DISCUSS ON THE WAY HOME: Each work on this program is “romantic,” in intent, mood or name. What is your idea of “romance,” and how well did these works portray romance or romanticism? Bruckner himself attached the subtitle “Romantic” to his Symphony No. 4, citing allusions to medieval towns, knights, hunting scenes and the like. Did you hear these allusions in the music?

cincinnatisymphony.org | FANFARE CINCINNATI | 41 PROGRAM NOTES: Mar 23–24 © 2017–18 Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra
The ideas for Metamorphosen came to Richard Strauss at the end of World War II, when he was devastated by the destruction during World War II of many of the temples of German culture— concert halls and opera houses in Berlin, Vienna, Munich, Dresden, Hamburg, Leipzig, were in ruins and ashes…. Strauss, the hero of the late romantic tradition (who came to Cincinnati almost 40 years before this work was written to conduct concerts with the CSO) was then in his eighties and, as it turned out, writing one of his very last pages of music. In it he quoted the Funeral March from Beethoven’s Eroica Symphony, adding “In Memoriam!” to his manuscript. What does Metamorphosen express? Resignation? Evolution? Wisdom? This ambiguous masterpiece, written for 23 solo string instruments, offers a striking contrast to Mozart’s Gran Partita Serenade for 13 wind instruments. The Serenade is more than a charming open-air composition; its sensuality and depth, its clarity and density, and its rigorous and voluptuous inventiveness place it among Mozart’s greatest masterpieces. —Louis Langrée

But Strauss had fallen out of favor that was beginning to pay the price of 12 years of Nazi soon enough, partly for working with Stefan Zweig, madness. Some of the best German minds were in who was Jewish, on the opera Die schweigsame Frau
WHAT TO LISTEN FOR: The tonal and textural shifts, or metamorphoses, within the 23 string instruments of Strauss’ Metamorphosen. Several allusions to the Funeral March from Beethoven’s Eroica Symphony No. 3 in Metamorphosen, including its rhythmic pattern and melodic motifs. The Funeral March also appears in its original form, played by the string basses, at the very end of Metamorphosen. String instruments will not be heard on Mozart’s Serenade at these performances. The work is scored for woodwinds and horns.
QUESTIONS TO DISCUSS ON THE WAY HOME: What aspects of Strauss’ Metamorphosen most clearly depict the grief and loss he felt after the end of World War II? Did he achieve his goal of creating a cohesive work, in spite of its many inde- pendent parts and waves of sound? While the Mozart Gran Partita is made up mostly of “dances” or dance-like movements, what other moods emerged while you listened to the music? How did the two works on the program, each performed by unusual forces (for a symphony or- chestra concert), complement each other?
