Wilhelm Gericke conducting. Subsequent performances have been given in 1904, 1923, 1928 (Sir Thomas Beecham conducting), 1930, 1931, 1936, and 1939 (December 8). It is scored for two oboes, two bassoons, two horns, two trumpets, timpani and strings. The symphony is inscribed by its composer as having been written at Salzburg, August 29, 1780. A reference in a letter by Mozart to a performance under Joseph Bono, conductor at Vienna, is considered to apply to this score: "I have lately forgotten to write that the sym- phony conducted by old Bono went magnifique, and had great suc- cess. Forty violins played — the wind instruments were all doubled — ten violas, ten doublebasses, eight violoncellos, and six bassoons" (From Vienna, April 11, 1781). The work is characterized by Erich Blom in his life of Mozart as "the first of the symphonies to have achieved any degree of permanence, as far as concert practice goes — and very justly, for it is a lovely work and, though formally on a small scale, fully matured and typically Mozartian with its capricious changes between a variety of humours. The musical ideas are mostly the current coin of the time, but their treatment is in the nature of an ironical commentary. Mozart loves the musical cliches of his century and at the same time laughs at them up his sleeve, and never more wittily than in this little but captivating and very finished symphonic work." Otto Jahn speaks of the symphony as "grander in conception and more serious in tone than the earlier one in B-flat major, composed the summer before (K. 319). This is particularly noticeable in the first movement, where a constant propensity to fall into the minor key blends strength and decision with an expression not so much of melancholy as of consola- tion. In perfect harmony of conception, the simple and fervent An- dante di molto combines exceeding tenderness with a quiet depth of feeling. The contrasting instrumentation is very effective in this work. The first movement is powerful and brilliant, but in the second, only stringed instruments (with doubled violas) are employed.* The last movement is animated throughout, and sometimes the orchestral treat- ment is rapid and impetuous." * A bassoon is added to the string orchestra in this movement. [4 1 The Symphony is without a minuet, although the first measures of one, crossed out by the composer, were found in the manuscript score.* Symphonies in three movements are rare among the more ma- ture works of Mozart (this one and the two symphonies K. 444 and K. 504 are exceptions). His childhood and boyhood symphonies were more often than not without minuets, the form having then freshly evolved from the Italian overture, with its three sections — a first allegro, a slow movement and a lively finale. It has often been stated that Haydn was the first to introduce minuets into the symphony, and indeed he gave his symphonic minuets an importance the form had never had. But there were earlier composers who began this practice. Philip Hale has pointed out: "There is one in a symphony in D major by Georg Matthias Monn composed before 1740. Haydn's first symphony was composed in 1759. Gossec's first symphonies were published in 1754. Sammartini (1734) and others had written symphonies before Gossec; but the date of Gossec's introduction of the minuet has not been determined. There were some who thought that a symphony worthy the name should be without a minuet. The learned Hofrath Johann Gottlieb Carl Spazier of Berlin wrote a strong protest which appeared in the num- ber of the Musikalisches Wochenblatt after the issue that announced Mozart's death. He characterized the minuet as a destroyer of unity and coherence, and wrote in substance: "In a dignified work there should be no discordant mirth. If a minuet be allowed, why not a polonaise or a gavotte? The first move- ment should be in some prevailing mood, joyful, uplifted, proud, solemn, etc. A slow and gentle movement brings relief, and prepares the hearer for the finale or still stronger presentation of the first mood. The minuet is disturbing: it reminds one of the dance-hall and the misuse of music: 'When it is caricatured, as is often the case in minuets by Haydn or Pleyel, it excites laughter.

  • Second Thoughts and Short Reviews: Autumn 2017-3
    SECOND THOUGHTS AND SHORT REVIEWS AUTUMN 2017/3 By Brian Wilson and Dan Morgan Reviews are by Brian Wilson except where signed [DM]. Autumn 2017/1 is here and Autumn 2017/2 here. As before, I must remind readers that preparing such a large review – especially large this time – carries the risk of incorrect catalogue numbers or purchase links, though I have tried to make the latter clearer than before. Please check before ordering. Some time ago I mentioned that trusty old Winamp, though it works with downloads in Windows 10, has not been updated for quite some time and that I had noticed occasional glitches. Recently I have been trying another free programme, MusicBee (https://getmusicbee.com/) and have found it to work well after a few initial problems. It does everything that Winamp does and adds the ability to display the artwork, if it’s included in the metadata – which isn’t always the case. An alternative would be MediaGo (http://mediago.sony.com/enu/download), actually designed to work with the high-res digital Sony Walkman, but a useful programme in itself and operating very much like MusicBee.

If a life in the arts promises advancement and fulfillment — even if it poses challenges and difficulties — the artists will arise.

  • The Correspondence Between Roberto Gerhard and Arnold Schoenberg
    The Correspondence between Roberto Gerhard and Arnold Schoenberg PALOMA ORTIZ‐DE‐URBINA On 18 October 1923 Roberto Gerhard, in a creative crisis and seeking guidance, wrote a long letter to Arnold Schoenberg asking to be accepted as his pupil. Two weeks later he received a positive answer and, full of enthusiasm, left for Vienna at once. There he met Schoenberg and began a master‐pupil relationship that would gradually turn into deep friendship, as attested by fifty‐three extant letters written between 1923 and Schoenberg’s death in 1951. Existing in archives in several countries and, for the most part, unpublished, these letters provide a wealth of information about Gerhard’s personal life and professional career, with interesting insights into Gerhard’s composi‐ tional process.1 There are published editions of letters exchanged between Schoenberg and Alban Berg,2 Anton Webern,3 Wassily Kandinsky4 and Thomas Mann,5 as well as a variety of collections gathering together writings and occasional letters between Schoenberg and various other musicians.6 However, the extensive correspondence 1 A complete edition, in both German and Spanish, of the correspondence between Schoenberg and Gerhard is in preparation by the present writer. 2 Juliane Brand et al.

Thanks go to Sam Girling for setting the musical examples. Abstract In 1816, Beethoven and Steiner agreed on a publishing contract that was at the time unique in the history of music publication. They decided to issue three of Beethoven’s newest orchestral works—Wellington’s Victory, and the Seventh and Eighth Symphonies, opp. 91–93—in arrangements for various combinations of chamber group, simultaneously, and concurrent with the original orchestral edition, which was issued in parts and full score. I discuss how and why this particular enterprise came about, and how it represents circumstances of the time.

    •""*! m f ^W' SYMPH FOUNDED HENRY LEE THURSDAY A EIGHTY-EIGHTH SEASON 1968-1969 Exquisite Sound From the palaces of ancient Egypt 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.
