Telephone Uhland9530 Overture to "Egmont," Op. 84 . Ludwig van Beethoven (Born at Bonn, December 16 (?), 1770; died at Vienna, March 26, 1827) This overture was composed in 1810; it was published in 1811. The music to Goethe's play—overture, four entr'actes, two songs sung by Clarchen, "Clarchen's Death," "Melodrama," and "Triumph Symphony" (identical with the coda of the overture) for the end of the play, nine numbers in all—was performed for the first time with the tragedy at the Hofburg Theater, Vienna, May 24, 1810. Antonie Adamberger was the Clarchen. When Hartl took the management of the two Vienna Court thea- tres, January 1, 1808, he produced plays by Schiller. He finally de- termined to produce plays by Goethe and Schiller with music, and he chose Schiller's "Tell" and Goethe's "Egmont." Beethoven and Gyrowetz were asked to write the music. The former was anxious to compose the music for "Tell" ; but, as Czerny tells the story, there were intrigues and, as "Egmont" was thought to be less suggestive to a composer, the music for that play was assigned to Beethoven. Gyrowetz's music to "Tell" was performed June 14, 1810. It was described by a correspondent of a Leipsic journal of music as "char- acteristic and written with intelligence." No allusion was made at the time anywhere to Beethoven's "Egmont."

The main body of the overture is an allegro, F minor. 3-4. The first theme is in the strings; each phrase is a de- scending arpeggio in the violoncellos, closing with a sigh in the first violins; the antithesis begins with a "sort of sigh" in the woodwind, then in the strings, then there is a development into passage-work.

Gehl B.M., St. Olaf College, 1983 M.A., University of Minnesota, 1990 Advisor: bruce d. mcclung, Ph.D. ABSTRACT A successful composer and conductor, Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873–1943) fled Russia at the time of the Bolshevik Revolution never to return. Rachmaninoff, at the age of forty-four, transformed himself by necessity into a concert pianist and toured America for a quarter of a century from 1918 until his death in 1943, becoming one of the greatest pianists of the day. Despite Rachmaninoff‘s immense talents, musicologists have largely dismissed him as a touring virtuoso and conservative, part-time composer. Rather than using mid-twentieth-century paradigms that classify Rachmaninoff as a minor, post-Romantic, figure, a recent revisionist approach would classify Rachmaninoff as an innovator. As one of the first major performer-composers in America to embrace recording and reproducing technology, along with the permanence and repetition it offered, Rachmaninoff successfully utilized mass media for twenty-five years. Already regarded as a conductor and composer of appealing music, Rachmaninoff extended his fame by recording and performing his own works, and those of others.

There he would fi nd solace in a peaceful garden as well as inspiration for some of his great- est works. This evening’s concert, Mozart in the Meadows, brings together these two elements — the stirring beauty of nature and the genius of Mozart — under the baton of Jane Glover, one of the foremost authorities on the composer.
