EPIDSODE 5: STARTS WITH A B, PART 1 BEETHOVEN 6 Ecossaises, WoO 83 TODAY’S WORKSHEET TIME SIGNATURES A time signature tells musicians important information about the music they are about to play. The bottom number tells us what note value, or type (half note, quarter note, eighth note, etc.) gets the beat. The top number tells us how many beats (or counts) will be in one measure of the music. So for a piece of music in 4/4 time, like in the image to the left, there will be 4 beats in each measure, and the quarter note (represented by the number 4) will be the note that gets the beat. TEST YOUR UNDERSTANDING _____ beats per measure _____ beats per measure ___________ note gets the beat ___________ note gets the beat _____ beats per measure ___________ note gets the beat EPIDSODE 5: STARTS WITH A B, PART 1 BEETHOVEN 6 Ecossaises, WoO 83 COUNT IT OUT!

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. -
Beethoven's Fifth Symphony
NOTES ON THE PROGRAM BY LAURIE SHULMAN, ©2017 Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony ONE-MINUTE NOTES Beethoven: Overture to Coriolan. Coriolan is vintage Beethoven: a stormy sonata-form movement in the heroic key of C minor. Jolting chords and lurching accents in the principal theme portray the tortured, indecisive hero. This is Beethoven at his most tragic. Bartók: Piano Concerto No. 3. A kinder, gentler Bartók emerges in the Third Piano Concerto. Nascent neoromanticism blooms in his melodious, folk-inflected first movement. A noble chorale gives way to nature’s night sounds in the slow movement, leading to an exhilarating finale. Beethoven: Symphony No. 5. Fate knocks at the door in symphonic literature’s most famous opening. Beethoven takes us on a journey from struggle to triumph in his magnificent Fifth Symphony. BEETHOVEN: Overture to Coriolan, Op. 62 LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN Born: December 16, 1770, in Bonn, Germany Died: March 26, 1827, in Vienna, Austria Composed: 1807 World Premiere: March 1807 in Vienna NJSO Premiere: 1927–28 season; Philip James conducted. Duration: 8 minutes Beethoven’s overtures vary widely in content and quality. Some are occasional pieces with little dramatic import; others are middle-period masterpieces. The former category includes King Stephen and The Consecration of the House. The latter group is dominated by the three Leonore Overtures and the Overture to Fidelio; plus Egmont and this weekend’s featured overture, Coriolan. What they all share is a connection to staged drama. Beethoven only completed one opera, Fidelio, but we know that he considered several other operatic projects. His Creatures of Prometheus was one of the most popular ballets of the early 19th century. -

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. -
