Spalding, Assistant Manager [1] The Continuing Language B efore the ill-fated attempt to build the Tower of Babel, "the whole earth was of one language, and one speech." Then came the confounding of language, "that they may not understand one another's speech." With divergent tongues the peoples <>! the world went their several ways, and their failures to understand one another's speech, and much besides, have been the cause of infinite disaster, of which the wars now tearing Europe and Asia asunder are the latest tokens. Of the one language and one speech that prevailed before the confusion of tongues an imperishable remnant still exists. That is the speech of music, the language under- stood by peoples of every tongue. In the world as we look out upon it today, it is more important than ever be- fore that this bond of unity should be pre- served. The Boston Symphony Orchestra counts it a privilege to contribute as it may to the continuance of this unifying influ- ence. It is a privilege, moreover, in which every Friend of the Orchestra may share. Reginald C. Foster Chairman, Friends of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. 12] (Eartwgt* Hall Fifty-Fourth Season in New York Boston Symphony Orchestra SERGE KOUSSEVITZKY, Conductor SECOND EVENING CONCERT THURSDAY, January 11 Programme Beethoven Symphony No. 1 in C major, Op. 2 1 I.

[3] SYMPHONY NO. 1 in C MAJOR, Op. 21 By Ludwig van Beethoven Born at Bonn, December 16 (?), 1770; died at Vienna, March 26, 1827 The original manuscript of this symphony has not been found, and there is no certainty as to when it was composed, but sketches for the Finale were found among the exercises in counterpoint which the young composer made for Albrechtsberger as early as 1795. It was on April 2, 1800, in Vienna, that this symphony had its first performance. It was published in parts at the end of 1801. The full score did not appear in print until 1820. The orchestration includes two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, two horns, two trumpets, timpani and strings. It is dedicated to Baron van Swieten. Beethoven, giving his first public concert in Vienna "for his own benefit," after making due obeisance to the past with a sym- phony of Mozart and airs from Haydn's "Creation," submitted his popular septet, and one of his piano concertos, playing, of course, the solo part; he also improvised upon the pianoforte. Finally he pre- sented to the audience his newly completed Symphony in C major. The concert was received with marked interest, and a certain amount of critical approval. Indeed the young man was not without a reputation in Vienna as a pianist with almost uncanny powers of improvisation, who had written a number of sonatas, trios, quartets, and sets of varia- tions. In the orchestral field he had not yet committed himself, save in two early cantatas and in the two piano concertos (in B-flat and in C) which he had written a few years before for his own use. The critic of the Allgemeine Musikalische Zeitung, while commend- ing parts of the concerto and the Septet as a work of "taste and feel- ing," felt called upon to administer a mild rebuke upon the young man who had stepped out with rather too much temerity and confi- dence upon the hallowed ground of the symphony which Mozart and Haydn had cultivated in such careful and orderly fashion. The writer admitted in the symphony "much art, novelty, and wealth of ideas," but added: "Unfortunately there was too much use of the wind instruments, so that the music sounded more as if written for a wind band than for an orchestra."* It was after a performance in the more conservative Leipzig Gewandhaus about a year later that a critic found in the symphony "a caricature of Haydn pushed to ab- surdity." Opinions such as these from Beethoven's contemporaries give * Professor Tovey agrees with this criticism, pointing out that Beethoven does lean upon the wind sections in this symphony, a not unnatural result of his considerable experience with " Hftrmoniemusik" at that time. It might also be that the critic was misled by an ill- balanced performance, for it was particularly bad. [4] pause to us of later days who are inclined to accept this particular first symphony as fundamentally docile to the traditions of the cen- tury which had just passed — bold in many matters of detail certainly, but even there not without precedent in the symphonies of Haydn. The adverse criticisms rankled the proud and aspiring Beethoven, who, offering the symphony to Hofmeister, wrote: "As for the Leip- zig O. [Ochsenf], let them just go on talking; they will never by their chatter confer immortality on anyone, neither can they take it away from anyone for whom Apollo has destined it." This was in January, 1801. In April he wrote imperiously to the firm of Breitkopf and Hartel, who had a proprietary interest in the Allgemeine Musikalische Zeitung: "Advise your critics to exercise more care and good sense with regard to the productions of young authors, for many a one may thereby become dispirited, who otherwise might have risen to higher things." Beethoven was to have the satisfaction of praise from this journal which in 1805 called this symphony "a glorious production, showing extraordinary wealth of lovely ideas, used with perfect con nection, order, and lucidity." The satisfaction was sometimes dubious, as when the First Symphony was extolled at the expense of his later ones. Beethoven, anxious to make his mark in the world as a composer in the larger forms, had at this time his first two piano concertos and the symphony to offer for publication, and accordingly proposed one of them, together with the septet and the piano sonata, Op. 22, to Hofmeister, at that time partnered with Kuhnel in the house which was later known as "Peters." Hofmeister was then a Kapellmeister in Leipzig, and Beethoven addressed him as "my dear brother in art." He offered the brace of compositions for the equivalent of $140, of which the symphony was listed at $50. "Perhaps you will be aston- ished," he wrote, "that I make no difference between a sonata, a sep- tet and a symphony, but I make none because I think that a sym- phony will not sell so well as a sonata, although it should surely be worth more." Fixing the total price at "seventy ducats," he wrote: "I do not understand any other money than Viennese ducats; how many thalers and gulden that make is no affair of mine, for I am a bad business man and reckoner." Beethoven spoke the sober truth about his abilities as a business man.

  • 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.
