THE UNIVERSITY SYMPHONY and SEATTLE SYMPHONY MAESTRO
2009-2010 presents Side- by- Side THE UNIVERSITY SYMPHONY and SEATTLE SYMPHONY MAESTRO GERARD SCHWARZ, conductor with guest artist FRANÇOISE PAPILLON, piano February 23, 2010 8:00 PM Meany Theater PROGRAM PIANO CONCERTO NO. 4 IN G MAJOR, OP. 58..................................... L. V. BEETHOVEN (1770-1827) Françoise Papillon, piano INTERMISSION EIN HELDENLEBEN ("A HERO'S LIFE"), OP. 40 .................................. RICHARD STRAUSS (1864-1949) BEETHOVEN’S PIANO CONCERTO NO. 4 IN G, Op. 58 was the last concerto composed for Beetho- ven himself as soloist. It was premiered in the Theater an der Wien on December 22, 1808, at a concert of epic proportions: the program also included the premieres of his Choral Fantasy and both the fifth and sixth symphonies, as well as selections from the Mass in C, the concert aria Ah! perfidio and the obligatory keyboard improvisations by the composer. Contemporary accounts have the concert lasting four hours. A more typical concerto would begin with the full orchestra stating the themes of the exposi- tion loud and clear before the soloist enters. Here however the piano opens the piece with a relaxed, peaceful solo statement, almost as if the composer is still sketching ideas. The four-note rhythmic motive may sound familiar since Beethoven also employed it in his fifth symphony and the Appassionata sonata, Op. 57. Although spirited, the first movement retains a sense of peace throughout. The second movement, however, disturbs that peace abruptly with a stark, almost militaristic unison string entrance. The piano responds with a distant, almost angelic theme. This exchange continues, slowly coming together like an argument transforming into a discus- sion, a gradual meeting of the minds.

My doctor suspected that it was cancer. I was lucky— he’d just been to a lecture about cutting- edge work being done at Fred Hutch. He told me to get in right away. He even texted the oncologist to let him know I was coming. My oncologist was a gifted doctor, Fred Hutch researcher, and a great human being who would talk with me for as long as I needed. He told me I had stage 4 cancer and that it was too advanced for surgery. The news was as hard on my husband as it was on me. He’d lost his first wife to cancer, and now it looked like he would lose me too. Fortunately for us, researchers at Fred Hutch were working on a new approach to treatment, where they sift through hundreds or even thousands of genes to find the weak spots in cancer cells. They then target those genes with drugs. So I enrolled in a Fred Hutch clinical trial. Thirty days after I started the experimental drug combination, the cancer was gone.
