  • PROGRAM NOTES Ludwig Van Beethoven Overture to Fidelio
    PROGRAM NOTES by Phillip Huscher Ludwig van Beethoven Born December 16, 1770, Bonn, Germany. Died March 26, 1827, Vienna, Austria. Overture to Fidelio Beethoven began to compose Fidelio in 1804, and he completed the score the following year. The first performance was given on November 20, 1805, at the Theater an der Wien in Vienna. Beethoven revised the score in preparation for a revival that opened there on March 29, 1806. For a new production in 1814, he made substantial revisions and wrote the overture performed at these concerts. The overture wasn’t ready in time for the premiere on May 23, 1814, in Vienna’s Kärntnertor Theater, but it was played at the second performance. The overture calls for an orchestra consisting of two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, two trumpets, two trombones, timpani, and strings. Performance time is approximately six minutes. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s first subscription concert performances of Beethoven’s Overture to Fidelio were given at the Auditorium Theatre on December 14 and 15, 1894, with Theodore Thomas conducting. Our most recent subscription concert performances of the overture (and the complete opera) were given at Orchestra Hall on May 26, 28, and 31, 1998, with Daniel Barenboim conducting. The Orchestra first performed this overture at the Ravinia Festival on July 16, 1938, with Willem van Hoogstraten conducting, and most recently on July 30, 2008, with Sir Andrew Davis conducting. Nothing else in Beethoven’s career caused as much effort and heartbreak as the composition of his only opera, which took ten years, inspired four different overtures, and underwent two major revisions and a name change before convincing Beethoven that he was not a man of the theater.

  • PROGRAM NOTES Ludwig Van Beethoven Leonore Overture No. 3
    PROGRAM NOTES by Phillip Huscher Ludwig van Beethoven Born December 16, 1770, Bonn, Germany. Died March 26, 1827, Vienna, Austria. Leonore Overture No. 3 Beethoven began to compose Fidelio in 1804 and completed the score the following year. The first performance was given on November 20, 1805, at the Theater an der Wien in Vienna. When Beethoven revised the score in preparation for a revival that opened there on March 29, 1806, he reworked the overture as Leonore Overture no. 3. The overture calls for an orchestra consisting of two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones, timpani, and strings, and an offstage trumpet. Performance time is approximately thirteen minutes. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s first subscription concert performances of Beethoven’s Leonore Overture no. 3 were given at the Auditorium Theatre on January 29 and 30, 1892, with Theodore Thomas conducting. Our most recent subscription concert performances were given at Orchestra Hall on October 29, 30, 31, and November 1, 1997, with Michael Gielen conducting. The Orchestra first performed this overture at the Ravinia Festival on July 23, 1936, with Isaac Van Grove conducting, and most recently on August 5, 2007, with James Conlon conducting. Of the four overtures Beethoven wrote for his opera Leonore—later renamed Fidelio—only the one called Leonore no. 3 has gained favor both in the concert hall, where it is much loved, and in the opera house, where it is often played, inappropriately, just before the finale. That it is an intruder in the opera house, where it can too easily overshadow all but the greatest performances of Fidelio, is something Beethoven himself could easily have told us.

  • Overture to Fidelio, Op. 72C
    Listen for the piccolo toward the end of the last movement of Beethoven’s Fifth. It’s an iconic little bling from an instrument that had never been used in a symphony before — a wickedly fast, articulated scale that has to cut through the entire orchestra. ANNE WHALEY LANEY, NCS PRINCIPAL FLUTE In Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony, the trombones do not play until the triumphant C- major chords, which herald the beginning of the fourth movement. It’s a glorious moment that never grows old to play or to listen to. JOHN ILIKA, NCS PRINCIPAL TROMBONE Overture to Fidelio, Op. 72c LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN BORN December 16, 1770, in Bonn, Germany; died March 26, 1827, in Vienna PREMIERE Composed 1814; first performance May 26, 1814, in Vienna, conducted by the composer OVERVIEW Beethoven’s only opera, Fidelio, underwent numerous major revisions before the composer arrived at the final version. The overture to the opera underwent even greater transformations. We have today four different overtures, all of them popular in the concert hall. The first three are called Leonore (Nos.1, 2, and 3), after the heroine’s name and original title of the opera; the fourth is known as Fidelio, Leonora’s pseudonym and Beethoven’s final title of the opera. The complex plot is a paean to marital fidelity and political justice. Leonore disguises herself as a young man (Fidelio) to free her husband, Florestan, who has been incarcerated unjustly as a political prisoner. Beethoven’s difficulties with the earlier versions of the overture (the three entitled Leonore) stemmed from the fact that they were too dramatic and explicit, following the trajectory of the plot by including themes from the opera, thereby giving away the most dramatic and exciting moments.

SAID The topic of influence and its anxieties, so rich in the history of literature, is less discussed in the history of music. Certainly the intimidating and in hibiting effect of Ludwig van Beethoven's Nine on subsequent symphon ists (Brahms, Mahler, Bruckner) is much referred to, but the dynamics of an active, energizing struggle with an antecedent both disliked and re spected have not often received much attention. This is a pity, since the case I want to consider here helps us make more sense of two popular and yet very problematic operas, one that I believe follows the other with consider able agitation.

  • 1 Concert 5 – Mahler & Beethoven March 21, 2020 Egmont Overture, Op. 84—Ludwig Van Beethoven Beethoven Wrote Almost
    Concert 5 – Mahler & Beethoven March 21, 2020 Egmont Overture, op. 84—Ludwig van Beethoven Beethoven wrote almost a dozen overtures, the most famous, of course, being the four that are connected with his only opera, Fidelio. Some are awful, like Wellington’s Victory, and others are of the stellar quality that the composer’s name evokes. Without doubt, in the forefront of the latter group is the Egmont overture from 1809-10. It is a commonplace of the history of the arts that some artists create a deep reflection of their times and circumstances (to the delight of aficionati who prize personality), while other artists are able to pursue their art in an Olympian detachment from personal circumstances. Beethoven unquestionably could work in the latter fashion, and the Overture to Egmont fits the bill. Vienna was in turmoil during the summer of 1809, owing to the occupation of Napoleon’s army, and the state of the economy and currency values added to everyone’s distress. Beethoven—always concerned with money—took it all with difficulty, but was able to put it aside and compose some of his most important works. Completion of the “Lebewohl” piano sonata and the “Harp” string quartet, as well as initial work on the “Emperor” piano concerto date from that summer, and so does the composition of Egmont. That being said, it is not difficult to draw the conclusion that much of the storm and triumph of the overture stems from the anxiety over the French invasion. Beethoven was a great admirer of Goethe, and was commissioned to provide incidental music for a performance of his play about the heroic death of Count Egmont in the fight to liberate the Netherlands from Spanish rule.

  • Jan Marisse Huizing Quotations and Ideas in Beethoven's Piano
    Jan Marisse Huizing Quotations and Ideas in Beethoven’s Piano Sonatas With the composition of his piano sonatas, Beethoven left an oeuvre that since its inception has lost nothing of its significance. From his first sonatas onwards, he presented a musical spectrum from which new horizons are continually revealed, through which his creativity appears to be inextricably bound to his way of constantly finding a new language for each individual sonata and formulating his ideas, not only within each separate movement, but also for the work as a whole. In this paper I would like to focus on some ‘new ideas’ Beethoven is using in several of his piano sonatas,1 whereby, to begin with, I would like to mention the significance of specific musical quotations from Bach, Handel and Mozart in his piano sonatas. While some quotations might just be of general interest, others may indeed influence the manner in which an interpretation takes its form. Of course, a well-known example is Beethoven’s quotation from the opening of Mozart’s sonata in C, K. 457 for the beginning of his Op. 10 No. 1, but what about the quotation from Mozart’s Adagio in B minor, K. 540 that Beethoven is using in the slow movement of his sonata Op. 10 No. 3? This Largo e Mesto is in general considered as the first real example of tragic music in Beethoven’s oeuvre. Compare the beginning of Mozart’s Adagio with the moment when Beethoven turns in the second movement of his sonata from major to minor again in bar 17.
