Boston Symphony Orchestra Concert Programs, Season 89, 1969 SYMPHONY WivLJlI Ej o 1 JlV\ FOUNDED IN 1881 BY HENRY LEE HIGGINSON FRIDAY -SATURDAY 14 EIGHTY-NINTH SEASON 1969-1970 Exquisite Sound From the palaces of ancient Egypt f to the concert halls of our modern cities, the wondrous music of the harp has compelled attention from all peoples and all countries. Through this passage of time many changes have been made in the original design. The early instruments shown in drawings on the tomb of Rameses II (1292-1225 B.C.) were richly decorated but lacked the fore-pillar. Later the "Kinner" developed by the Hebrews took the form as we know it today. The pedal harp was invented about 1720 by a Bavarian named Hochbrucker and through this ingenious device it be- came possible to play in eight major and five minor scales complete. Today the harp is an important and familiar instrument providing the "Exquisite Sound" and special effects so important to modern orchestration and arrange- ment. The certainty of change makes necessary a continuous review of your insurance protection. We welcome the opportunity of providing this service for your business or personal needs.

  • Brněnské Začátky Rudolfa Firkušného a Jeho Studia U Leoše Janáčka

Ve sklad- bě byl žákem Leoše Janáčka, Viléma Petrželky a Josefa Suka. Byl důvěrným přítelem Bohuslava Martinů, Vítězslavy Kaprálové a dalších českých a světo- vých skladatelů, jejichž díla mnohdy uváděl ve světových premiérách (z českých jmenujme P. Bořkovce, V. Kaprála, J. Kvapila, O. Chlubnu, P. Janečka, V. Kap- rálovou, A. Hábu, J. Ježka; ze zahraničních G. C. Menottiho, S. Barbera, R. Cu- mmingse, P. Glasse, C. Guaneriho, F. Mignoneho, E. Solarese a další). Klavírní lekce navštěvoval nejprve u Ludmily Tučkové, posléze byl žákem v klavírní třídě Růženy Kurzové, která Firkušného učila podle metody svého manžela Viléma Kurze. Kurz se stal posledním českým pedagogem Rudolfa Firkušného. Za za- hraničními učiteli se vydal do Paříže (Alfred Cortot), Berlína a Itálie (Arthur Schnabel). Jako pianista podnikal světová turné: projezdil Evropu, Severní a Již- ní Ameriku. Vystupoval se světoznámými orchestry a dirigenty počínaje Kuse- vickým, Walterem, Klempererem, Szellem, Talichem, Mitropoulosem, konče Bernsteinem, Mutim, Mehtou, Bělohlávkem, Neumannem a Abbadem. Během své kariéry prosazoval české autory, především Dvořáka a jeho téměř neznámý klavírní koncert a díla Bohuslava Martinů, z nichž některá byla psána přímo pro Firkušného. Prameny ke studiu brněnských začátků Rudolfa Firkušného se nachází převáž- ně v Oddělení dějin hudby Moravského zemského muzea (nebo jen ODH MZM) v pozůstalosti, která dosud čeká na své zpracování. Pozůstalost obsahuje Fir- kušného osobní dokumenty, školní vysvědčení, studentské průkazy z varhanické školy a konzervatoře, programy a plakáty jeho koncertů, výstřižky, fotografie, rodinnou a částečně profesní korespondenci.

    PROGRAM NOTES by Phillip Huscher Gustav Mahler Born July 7, 1860, Kalischt, Bohemia. Died May 18, 1911, Vienna, Austria. Symphony No. 1 in D Major Mahler did most of the work on his First Symphony in February and March of 1888, incorporating music that had been written much earlier. He revised the score on several occasions. The first performance was given on November 20, 1889, in Budapest, with the composer conducting. The score calls for four flutes and three piccolos, four oboes and english horn, four clarinets, two E-flat clarinets and bass clarinet, three bassoons and contrabassoon, seven horns, four trumpets, three trombones and tuba, timpani, bass drum, cymbals, triangle, tam-tam, harp, and strings. Performance time is approximately fifty-seven minutes. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra's first subscription concert performances of Mahler's First Symphony were given at Orchestra Hall on November 6 and 7, 1914, with Frederick Stock conducting. Our most recent subscription concert performances were given on April 5, 6, 7, and 10, 2007, with Gustavo Dudamel conducting. The Orchestra first performed this symphony at the Ravinia Festival on July 19, 1949, with William Steinberg conducting, and most recently on June 24, 2005, with James Conlon conducting. When Alma Schindler first met Gustav Mahler, whom she later married, she could only remember how much she had disliked his First Symphony. She wasn't alone. The history of this symphony, even into relatively recent times, is one of misunderstanding and rejection. The first performance, in Budapest in 1889, was greeted with indifference, bewilderment, and, in the words of the local critic, "a small, but, for all that, audible element of opposition." Mahler seldom understood the animosity his music aroused.
