Boston Symphony Orchestra Concert Programs, Season 35,1915 PARSONS THEATRE HARTFORD Thirty-fifth Season. 1915-1916 Dr. KARL MUCK. Conductor WITH HISTORICAL AND DESCRIPTIVE NOTES BY PHILIP HALE MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 27 AT 8.15 COPYRIGHT, 1916, BY C. A.-ELLIS PUBLISHED BY C. A. ELLIS, MANAGER €i Yes, It's a Steinway" ISN'T there supreme satisfaction in being able to say that of the piano in your home? Would you have the same feeling about any other piano? " It's a Steinway." Nothing more need be said. Everybody knows you have chosen wisely; you have given to your home the very best that money can buy. You will never even think of changing this piano for any other. As the years go by the words "It's a Steinway" will mean more and more to you, and thousands of times, as you continue to enjoy through life the com- panionship of that noble instrument, absolutely without a peer, you will say to yourself: "How glad I am I paid the few extra dollars and got a Steinway."

Through these many thousand years this musical tradition has marvelously developed, from primitive Grecian lyre to the many- stringed harp of the mediaeval minstrels, from clavichord to spinet, from harpsichord to pianoforte, until it finds today its supreme expression in the •<5&pttl & tawi Chickering & Sons, Boston Division of American Piano Co.

Richard Wagner (Born at keipsic, May 22, 1813; died at Venice, February 13, 1883.) The overture is scored for one piccolo, two flutes, two oboes, one English horn, two clarinets, four horns, two bassoons, two trumpets, three trombones, one bass tuba, kettledrums, harp, strings. It was sketched at Meudon near Paris in September, 1841, and com- pleted and scored at Paris in November of that year. In 1852 Wagner changed the ending. In i860 he wrote another ending for the Paris concerts. It opens Allegro con brio in D minor, 6-4, with an empty fifth, against which horns and bassoons give out the Flying Dutchman motive. There is a stormy development, through which this motive is kept sounding in the brass. There is a hint at the first theme of the main body of the overture, an arpeggio figure in the strings, taken from the accompaniment of one of the movements in the Dutchman's first air in act i. This storm section over, there is an episodic Andante in F major in which wind instruments give out phrases from Senta's ballad of the Flying Dutchman (act ii.). The episode leads directly to the main body of the overture, Allegro con brio in D minor, 6-4, which begins with the first theme. This theme is developed at great length with chromatic passages taken from Senta's ballad. The Flying Dutch- man theme comes in episodically in the brass from time to time. The subsidiary theme in F major is taken from the sailors' chorus, "Steuer- mann, lass' die Wacht!" (act iii.). The second theme, the phrase from Senta's ballad already heard in the Andante episode, enters f in the full orchestra, F major, and is worked up brilliantly with fragments of the first theme. The Flying Dutchman motive reappears jf in the trombones. The coda begins in D major, 2-2. A few rising arpeggio measures in the violins lead to the second theme, proclaimed with the FOOT GUARD HALL Friday Evening, April 14, 1916 80 MALE VOICES RALPH L.

The theme is now in the shape found in the Allegro peroration of Senta's ballad, and it is worked up with great energy. * Wagner wrote in "A Communication to my Friends" that before he began to work on the whole opera "The Flying Dutchman" he drafted the words and the music of Senta's ballad. Mr. Ellis says that he wrote this ballad while he was in the thick of the composition of "Rienzi." The ballad is the thematic germ of the whole opera, and it should be remembered that Wagner felt inclined to call the opera itself a dramatic ballad. "Der fliegende Hollander," opera in three acts, was performed for the first time at the Court Opera House, Dresden, January 2, 1843. The cast was as follows: Senta, Mme. Schroeder-Devrient ; the Dutch- man, Michael Wachter; Daland, Karl Risse; Erik, Reinhold; Mary, Mrs. Wachter; the steersman, Bielezizky. Wagner conducted. The first performance in America was in Italian, "II Vascello Fan- tasma," at Philadelphia, November 8, 1876, by Mme. Pappenheim's Company. The first performance in Boston was in English at the Globe Theatre, March 14, 1877: Senta, Clara Louise Kellogg; Eric, Joseph Maas; Daland, George A. Conly; the steersman, C. H. Turner; Mary, Marie Lancaster; Vanderdecken, the Dutchman, William Carleton. * * * It was undoubtedly due to the dramatic genius of Mme. Wilhelmine Schroeder-Devrient (1804-60) that a poor performance was turned the first night into an apparent triumph. It is said that in the part of Senta she surpassed herself in originality; but Wagner wrote to Fischer in 1852 that this performance was a bad one.

Messr; Wachter's and Risse's genial and energetic efforts are also faithfull stored up in my memory. ' Wagner wished Senta to be portrayed as "an altogether robus Northern maid, thoroughly naive in her apparent sentimentality." He wrote: "Only in the heart of an entirely naive girl surrounde by the idiosyncrasies of Northern nature could impressions such a those of the ballad of the 'Flying Dutchman' and the picture of th pallid seaman call forth so wondrous strong a bent as the impuls to redeem the doomed: with her this takes the outward form of a active monomania such, indeed, as can only be found in quite naiv natures. We have been told of Norwegian maids of such a force c feeling that death has come upon them through a sudden rigor of th heart. Much in this wise may it go, with the seeming 'morbidness of pallid Senta." Wagner revised the score in 1852. "Only where it was purel; superfluous have I struck out some of the brass, here and there give] a somewhat more human tone, and only thoroughly overhauled th coda of the overture.

    Synopsis Act I Mythical times. In his cave in the forest, the dwarf Mime forges a sword for his foster son Siegfried. He hates Siegfried but hopes that the youth will kill the dragon Fafner, who guards the Nibelungs’ treasure, so that Mime can take the all-powerful ring from him. Siegfried arrives and smashes the new sword, raging at Mime’s incompetence. Having realized that he can’t be the dwarf’s son, as there is no physical resemblance between them, he demands to know who his parents were. For the first time, Mime tells Siegfried how he found his mother, Sieglinde, in the woods, who died giving birth to him. When he shows Siegfried the fragments of his father’s sword, Nothung, Siegfried orders Mime to repair it for him and storms out. As Mime sinks down in despair, a stranger enters. It is Wotan, lord of the gods, in human disguise as the Wanderer. He challenges the fearful Mime to a riddle competition, in which the loser forfeits his head. The Wanderer easily answers Mime’s three questions about the Nibelungs, the giants, and the gods. Mime, in turn, knows the answers to the traveler’s first two questions but gives up in terror when asked who will repair the sword Nothung. The Wanderer admonishes Mime for inquiring about faraway matters when he knows nothing about what closely concerns him. Then he departs, leaving the dwarf’s head to “him who knows no fear” and who will re-forge the magic blade. When Siegfried returns demanding his father’s sword, Mime tells him that he can’t repair it.

WITH HISTORICAL AND DESCRIP- TIVE NOTES ,BY PHILIP HALE MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 16 AT 8.15 COPYRIGHT, 1911, BY C. A. ELLIS PUBLISHED BY C. A. ELLIS, MANAGER : Vladimir De Pachmann The Greatest Pianist Of the 20th Century ON TOUR IN THE UNITED STATES SEASON: 1911-1912 For generations the appearance of new stars on the musical firmament has been announced — then they came with a temporary glitter — soon to fade and to be forgotten. De Pachmann has outlived them all. With each return he won additional resplendence and to-day he is acknowl- edged by the truly artistic public to be the greatest exponent of the piano of the twentieth century. As Arthur Symons, the eminent British critic, says: "Pachmann is the Verlaine or Whistler of the Pianoforte the greatest player of the piano now living." Pachmann, as before, uses the BALDWIN PIANO for the expression of his magic art, the instrument of which he himself says '*.... It cries when I feel like crying, it sings joyfully when I feel like singing. It responds — like a human being — to every mood. I love the Baldwin Piano." Every lover of the highest type of piano music will, of course, go to hear Pachmann —to revel in the beauty of his music and to marvel at it. It is the beautiful tone quality, the voice which is music itself, and the wonderfully responsive action of the Baldwin Piano, by which Pachmann's miraculous hands reveal to you the thrill, the terror and the ecstasy of a beauty which you had never dreamed was hidden in sounds.

    Synopsis Act I Mythical times. Pursued by enemies during a storm, Siegmund exhaustedly stumbles into an unfamiliar home. Sieglinde finds him lying by the hearth, and the two feel an immediate attraction. Sieglinde’s husband, Hunding, interrupts them, asking the stranger who he is. Calling himself “Woeful,” Siegmund tells of a disaster-filled life, only to learn that Hunding is a kinsman of his enemies. Hunding tells his guest that they will fight to the death in the morning. Alone, Siegmund calls on his father, Wälse—who was in fact Wotan, leader of the gods, in human disguise—for the sword that he once promised him. Sieglinde reappears, having given Hunding a sleeping potion. She tells of her wedding, at which a one-eyed stranger thrust into a tree a sword that has since resisted every effort to pull it out. Sieglinde confesses her unhappiness to Siegmund, and he embraces her and promises to free her from her forced marriage to Hunding. As moonlight floods het room, Siegmund compares their feelings to the marriage of love and spring. Sieglindeaddr esses him as “Spring” but asks if his father was really “Wolf,” as he said earlier. When Siegmund gives his father’s name as “Wälse” instead, Sieglinde recognizes him as her twin brother. Siegmund pulls the sword from the tree and claims Sieglinde as his bride, rejoicing in the union of the Wälsungs. The pair rush off together into the night. Act II In the mountains, Wotan tells his warrior daughter, the Valkyrie Brünnhilde, that she must defend his mortal son Siegmund in his upcoming battle with Hunding.

  • Wagner Aan De Noordzee
    Wagner aan de Noordzee 160 jaar Wagnertraditie in Nederland (3) door Leo M. Cornelissen De tijdgeest in de periode 1900 - 1919 In het voorgaande werd al de tijdgeest gedurende het laatste kwart van de 19e eeuw in Europa aangestipt en uitvoeriger ook het maatschappelijk en cultureel leven in ons land beschreven. Dat was ook de periode waarin de belangstelling voor Wagners muziekwerken in heel Europa een absolute hype werden. De overgangsjaren van de 19e naar de 20e eeuw, dus globaal de decennia rondom het jaar 1900, brachten daar geen grote verandering in. Bayreuth was aan het eind van de 19e eeuw de toonaangevende festivalstad in de wereld. Het klimaat daar werd beheerst door de geest van de Bayreuther Wagnergetrouwen en de als een godin vereerde Cosima Wagner, ‘die hohe Frau’. Zij bewaakte met ijzeren discipline wat zij zag als haar taak: de ongewijzigde voortzetting en internationale promotie van Richards werk, met name door sterk de regie te voeren over de Wagnerfestspiele in haar eigen zomertheater. Het tijdvak tussen de Frans-Duitse oorlog van 1870 en de Eerste Wereldoorlog, de zgn. ’Kaiserzeit’, staat internationaal te boek als een periode van grote technische vooruitgang, maar ook een van geestelijke decadentie en een toenemende verengde vorm van nationalisme. Ook in de tweede helft van deze periode, dus van 1900 tot de Eerste wereldoorlog, werd Wagners werk overal ter wereld zeer frequent uitgevoerd en enthousiast onthaald. Werkelijk in alle operahuizen van enig niveau, zowel in de oude als de nieuwe wereld, buitelde de ene Wagnervoorstelling over de andere: Wenen, Berlijn, München, New York, Amsterdam, Londen, Parijs, Brussel.

  • Forgotten Splendour
    FORGOTTEN SPLENDOUR A Chronology of the North Shore Music Festival 1909 to 1939 by Andrew Cottonaro Beginning in 1909 and lasting until 1939, the North Shore Music Festival of Northwestern University was a significant musical and social event in the Chicago area. For a few days each Spring, the campus hosted a diverse body of performers in a series of grand concerts. Naturally, some of that era’s most eminent singers could be heard there. Their presence certainly helped to sell tickets and their artistry helped to sustain the festival as a popular and critical success. Now, sixty years later, the festival hardly even counts as a faded memory. To date, two books (in part), offer a general outline of the festival’s history, but both lack any detailed analysis of who appeared and what was actually sung. This is the first attempt to present a chronology of the vocal offerings (quite distinct from the orchestral offerings) at the festival. Northwestern University, the official sponsor of the festival, is located in Evanston, Illinois (USA). The town is a suburb of Chicago, directly north of the city and on the banks of Lake Michigan. Because of this geographic position, Evanston and the other cities of the area are called the North Shore, hence the origin of the festival’s name. Northwestern University was incorporated in 1850 and gradually won recognition for its academic excellence. The establishment of musical studies, however, was a tangled web of many failed efforts. In a final and desperate attempt to salvage musical education, the university’s board of trustees in 1891 appointed Peter Christian Lutkin (1858-1931) to direct musical studies, a post that he held until his death.
