1914 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 Theatre, 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 overture has a short, slow introduction, sostenuto ma non troppo, F minor, 3-2. 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 wood-wind, then in the strings, then there is a development into passage-work. The second theme has for its thesis a version of the first two meas- ures of the sarabande theme of the introduction, fortissimo (strings), in A-flat major, and the antithesis is a triplet in the wood- wind. The coda Allegro con brio, F major, 4-4, begins pianissimo. The full orchestra at last has a brilliant fanfare figure, which ends in a shouting climax, with a famous shrillness of the piccolo against fanfares of bassoons and brass and between crashes of the full orchestra. The overture is scored for two flutes (one interchangeable with piccolo), two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, two trumpets, kettledrums and strings. Long and curious commentaries have been written in explanation of this overture. As though the masterpiece needed an explanation We remember one in which a subtle meaning was given to at least every half-dozen measures : the Netherlander are under the crushing weight of Spanish oppression; Egmont is melancholy, his blood is stagnant, but at last he shakes off his melancholy (violins), answers the cries of his country-people, rouses himself for action ; his death is portrayed by a descent of the violins from C to G ; but his country- men triumph. Spain is typified by the sarabande movement; the heavy, recurring chords portray the lean-bodied, lean-visaged Duke BOSTON CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC AGIDE JACCHIA, Director

1917 of Alva ; "the violin theme in D-flat, to which the clarinet brings the under-third, is a picture of Clarchen," etc. One might as well il- lustrate word for word the solemn ending of Thomas Fuller's life of
Alva in "The Profane State" : "But as his life was a- mirror of cruelty, so was his death of God's patience. It was admirable that his tragical acts should have a comical end; that he that sent so many to the grave should go to his own, and die in peace. But God's justice on offenders goes not always in the same path, nor the same pace: and he is not pardoned for the fault who is for a while re- prieved from the punishment; yea, sometimes the guest in the inn goes quietly to bed before the reckoning for his supper is brought to him to discharge." The overture is at first a mighty lamentation. There are voices of an aroused and angry people, and there is at the last tumultuous rejoicing. The "Triumph Symphony" at the end of the play forms the end of the overture.

1919 1920 he lived in Germany, at Carlsruhe, where he pursued his studies with Ernst Toch.* His works include compositions for pianoforte; chamber music (sonatas for violin, violoncello, a duo for violin and violoncello, two string quartets) ; orchestral com- positions (an overture, a Concerto for pianoforte, a Scherzo). His works, by the way, have been performed at G-erman festivals of modern music, as at Krefeld and Baden-Baden. This Scherzo was first composed for a mechanical piano; later scored for orchestra. The Scherzo is based on three themes. The wood-wind instruments have the most important role. The rhythmical scheme of the scherzo is announced by strings col legno.f The middle section is in the nature of a trio. After the repetition of the Scherzo section, a coda follows. It contains the thematic material of the Trio and the first theme (trumpets). The Scherzo ends in an impetuous Presto.
*Toch, born at Vienna in 1S87, studied medicine and philosophy. Self-educated in music, he took in 1909 the Mozart stipendium, in 1910 the Mendelssohn stipendium, and four times in succession the Austrian state prize for composition. In 1909 he went to Frankfort-on-Main and studied the piano with Willy Rehberg. In 1913 he went to Mannheim as teacher at the High School for Music. Among his compositions are twelve string quartets : a chamber symphony ; a symphony, "An mein Vaterland"
(solo voices, chorus, and organ) ; a pianoforte concerto; music for "Der Kinder

The concert, the first of the season of 1905-06, was also the twenty-fifth anniversary of the establishment of the Concerts Lamoureux. Camille Chevillard conducted. The Sketches, dedicated to Jacques Durand, were published at Paris in 1905. Debussy first conceived the idea of writing them in 1903. The first performance in the United States was in Boston at a con- cert of the Boston Symphony Orchestra on March 2, 1907. "La Mer" was performed again that season by request on April 20, 1907.

These sketches are impressionistic. The titles give the cue to the hearer. As M. Jean d'Udine said of these very compositions : "When art is concerned, grammatical analyses belong to the kingdom of technical study; they have a didactic character and interest only professionals. The public demands logical analyses from the critics. But how can any one analyze logically creations that come from a dream, if not from a nightmare, and seem the fairy materialization of vague, acute sensations, which, experienced in feverish half-sleep, cannot be disentangled ? By a miracle, as strange as it is seductive, M. Debussy possesses the dangerous privilege of being able to seize the most fantastical sports of light and of fluid whirlwinds. He is cater-cousin to the sorcerer, the prestidigitator; his art rests al- most wholly on the association of musical ideas whose relations are clearly perceived only in a state of semiconsciousness, with the con- dition of not thinking about them. It is an exclusively sensual art, wholly like that of Berlioz, situated almost outside of time, floating

o %J# ^Mii* LTD — in space with the disturbing absence of rhythm shown by the care- less, intoxicated butterfly, an art that is astonishingly French, pictorial and literary to that degree of disembodiment where sound is only a cabalistic sign." Whether one disputes or agrees to this characterization of De- bussy's art—the comparison of it with the art of Berlioz is at least surprising if not inexplicable—M. d'Udine's statement that these sketches do not submit to analysis is unanswerable. To speak of fixed tonalities would be absurd, for there is incessant modulation. To describe Debussy's thematic material without the aid of illustra- tions in notation would be futile. To speak of form and development would be to offer a stumbling-block to those who can see nothing in the saying of Plotinus, as translated by Thomas Taylor: "But the simple beauty of color arises, when light, which is something in- corporeal, in reason and form, entering the obscure involutions of matter, irradiates and forms its dark and formless nature. It is on this account that fire surpasses other bodies in beauty, because, compared with the other elements, it obtains the order of form ; for it is more eminent than the rest, and is the most subtle of all, border- ing as it were on an incorporeal nature."
* * "Debussy has not wished to confide himself indefinitely to the ram- bling of his senses: he became jealous of his instinct. In 'La Mer' one will discover an effort to substitute for sensuous spontaneity of developments, the management of the mind." Jacques Riviere.

Johannes Brahms Symphony No. 2, in D major, Op. 73 . . . . April 1897) (Born at Hamburg, May 7, 1833; died at Vienna, 3, had Chamber music, choral works, pianoforte pieces, and songs made Brahms famous before he allowed his first symphony to be time played. The symphony in C minor was performed for the first Dessoff as at Carlsruhe on November 4, 1876, from manuscript with conductor. Kirchner wrote in a letter to Marie Lipsius that he had talked about this symphony in 1863 or 1864 with Mme. Clara Schu- mann, who then showed him fragments of it. No one knew, it is said, of the existence of a second symphony before it was completed. The second symphony, D major, was composed, probably at P6rtschach-am-See, in the summer of 1877, the year that saw the publication of the first. Brahms wrote Dr. Billroth in September
of that year : "I do not know whether I have a pretty symphony I must inquire of skilled persons." He referred to Clara Schumann, Dessoff, and Ernst Frank. On September 19, Mme. Schumann wrote that he had written out the first movement. Early in October he played it to her, also a portion of the finale. The symphony was played by Brahms and Ignaz Briill as a pianoforte duet (arranged by the composer) to invited guests at the pianoforte house of his

friend Ehrbar in Vienna a few days before the announced date of the orchestral performance, December 11, 1877. Through force of circumstances the symphony was played for the first time in public at the succeeding Philharmonic concert of December 30.* Hans Richter conducted. The second performance, conducted by Brahms, was at the Gewandhaus, Leipsic, on January 10, 1878. The review written by Eduard Hanslick after the performance at Vienna may reassure those who are now unwilling to trust their own judgment "It is well known that Wagner and his followers go so far as not only to deny the possibility of anything new in the symphonic form, —i.e., new after Beethoven,—but they reject the very right of abso- lute instrumental music to exist. The symphony, they saw, is now superfluous since Wagner has transplanted it into the opera: only Liszt's symphonic poems in one movement and with a determined practical programme have, in the contemplation of the modern musi- cal world, any vitality. Now if such absurd theories, which are framed solely for Wagner-Liszt household use, again need refuta- tion, there can be no more complete and brilliant refutation than

1931 the long row of Brahms's instrumental works, and especially this second symphony. "The character of this symphony may be described concisely as peaceful, tender, but not effeminate; serenity, which on the one side is quickened to joyous humor and on the other is deepened to meditative seriousness. The first movement begins immediately with a mellow and dusky horn theme. It has something of the character of the serenade, and this impression is strengthened still further in the scherzo and the finale. The first movement, an Allegro moderato, in 3-4, immerses us in a clear wave of melody, upon which we rest, swayed, refreshed, undisturbed by two slight Mendelssohnian reminiscences which emerge before us. The last fifty measures of this movement expire in flashes of new melodic beauty. A broad singing Adagio in B major follows, which, as it appears to me, is more conspicuous for the skilful development of the themes than for the worth of the themes themselves. For this reason, undoubtedly, it makes a less profound impression upon the public than do the other movements. The scherzo is thoroughly delightful in its graceful movement in minuet tempo. It is twice interrupted by a Presto in 2-4, which flashes, spark-like, for a moment. The finale in D, 4-4, more vivacious, but always agreeable

1933 in its golden serenity, is widely removed from the stormy finales of the modern school. Mozartian blood flows in its veins. "This symphony is a contrast rather than a companion to the first motives which, however, slumber there as flowers beneath the snow, or float as distant points of light beyond the clouds. It is true that the second symphony contains no movement of such noble pathos as the finale of the first. On the other hand, in its uniform coloring and its sunny clearness, it is an advance upon the first, and one that is not to be underestimated. "Brahms has this time fortunately repressed his noble but dan- gerous inclination to conceal his ideas under a web of polyphony or to cover them with lines of contrapuntal intersection; and if the thematic development in the second symphony appears less remarkable than that in the first, the themes themselves seem more flowing, more spontaneous, and their development seems more natural, more pellucid, and therefore more effective. We cannot, therefore, proclaim too loudly our joy that Brahms, after he had given intense expression in his first symphony to Faust-like conflicts of the soul, has now in his second returned to the earth,—the earth that laughs and blossoms in the vernal months."

1935 :
Yet some may prefer this short sketch by Hugues Imbert (1842- 1905), one of the first in France to admire Brahms "The second symphony, which was played at a Popular Concert in Paris, November 21, 1880, and at the Paris Conservatory Concert of December 19 of the same year, does not in any way deserve the reproach made against it by Victorin Joncieres,—that it is full of brushwood. Nor should it incur the reproach made by Arthur Pougin,—that it is childish! It is true that the first movement contains some dissonances which, after a first hearing, are piquant and not at all disagreeable. The peroration, the last fifty measures of this Allegro, is of a pathetic serenity, which may be compared with that of the first movement of the two sextets for strings. The Adagio is built according to the plan of adagios in the last quartets of Beethoven—an idea, tinged with the deepest melancholy, is led about in varying tonalities and rhythms. The scherzo is one of the most delightful caprices imaginable. The first trio, with its biting staccati, and the second, with its rapid movement, are only the mother-idea of the scherzo, lightened and flung at full speed. Unity, which is unjustly denied Brahms, is still more strikingly observed in the finale, an admirable masterpiece." Certain German critics in their estimate of Brahms have ex-

1937 hausted themselves in comparison and metaphor. One claims that, as Beethoven's fourth symphony is to his "Eroica," so is Brahms's second to his first: the one in C minor is epic, the one in 1") major is a fairy-tale. When Biilow wrote that Brahms was an heir of Cherubim, he referred to the delicate filigree work shown in the finale of the second. Felix Weingartner whose "Die Symphonic nach Beethoven" (Berlin, 1898)* is a pamphlet of singularly acute and discriminative criticism, coolly says that the second is far su-
perior to the first : "The stream of invention has never flowed so fresh and spontaneous in other works by Brahms, and nowhere else has he colored his orchestration so successfully." And after a eulogy of the movements he puts the symphony among the very best of the new classic school since the death of Beethoven,—"far above all the symphonies of Schumann." This symphony was first played in Boston at a concert of the Har- vard Musical Association, January 9, 1879. It was then considered as perplexing and cryptic. John S. Dwight probably voiced the pre- vailing opinion when he declared he could conceive of Sterndale

1939 Bennett writing a better symphony than the one by Brahms in D major. The symphony is scored for two flutes, two oboes, two' clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones, bass tuba, kettledrums, and strings.
The second symphony was naturally more warmly received at first in Vienna than was its predecessor. "It was of 'a more attractive character,' more 'understandable/ than its predecessor. It was to be preferred, too, inasmuch as the composer had not this time 'entered the lists with Beethoven.' The third movement was especially
praised for its 'original melody . and rhythms.' The work might be appropriately termed the 'Vienna Symphony,' reflecting, as it did, 'the fresh, healthy life to be found in beautiful Vienna.' " But Florence May, in her life of Brahms,* says the second symphony was not liked: "The audience maintained an attitude of polite cordiality throughout the performance of the symphony, courteously applauding between the movements and recalling the master at the end ; but the enthusiasm of personal friends was not this time able to kindle any corresponding warmth in the bulk of the audience, or even to cover the general consciousness of the fact.

"The Viennese,' he wrote, 'are much more easily satisfied than we.' We make quite different demands on Brahms and require from him music which is some- thing more than 'pretty' and 'very pretty' when he comes before us as a symphonist. Not that we do not wish to hear him in his com- plaisant moods, not that we disdain to accept from him pictures of real life, but we desire always to contemplate his genius, whether he displays it in a manner of his own or depends on that of Beet- hoven. We have not discovered genius in the new symphony, and should hardly have guessed it to be the work of Brahms had it been performed anonymously. We should have recognized the great mastery of form, the extremely skilful handling of the material, the conspicuous power of construction, in short, which it displays, but should not have described it as pre-eminently distinguished by in- ventive power. We should have pronounced the work to be one worthy of respect, but not counting for much in the domain of sym- phony. Perhaps we may be mistaken; if so, the error should be pardonable, arising as it does from the great expectations which our reverence for the composer induced us to form.".

Nicolas Slonimsky, conducting Miss Ehrhart will sing, for the first time here, the voice part of "Offrandes" (Offerings) by Edgar Varese, a French composer now residing in New York, and a notable figure in modern music. "Offrandes" is scored for chamber orchestra and voice. The voice part contains quarter tones indicated as half flats (% 6) Excerpts from reviews of prominent BOSTON newspapers on the GERTRUDE EHRHART Recital of April 12th last, at Jordan Hall Boston Transcript: "Her voice is now one of singular liquid purity, which she shades down to the merest whispering pianissimo or swells for larger effects without loss of quality. The beauty of her sustained tones is one not often met with in concert halls. The finest niceties of expression, within it, she explores. The melodic line is always supple, always intelligently phrased and as intelli- gently modulated. Her rhythm is always pliant, always at the service of the expressive purpose of the moment." Christian Science Monitor: "Miss Ehrhart sings with warmth and brilliance, with delicacy and deftness, with a keen sense of dramatic values, and an even keener sense of whimsical humor. Her voice has grown and deepened until it owns a fine evenness of texture and a smooth luster. Her enunciation is nearly faultless." Boston Post: "Musicianship, intelligence, youthful charm, a voice decidedly pleasing, animation and expressiveness are qualities which served Gertrude Ehrhart well in her recital at Jordan Hall last evening. Add to these a pro- gramme widely ranging, well diversified and rich in songs intrinsically interest- ing, together with the rarely skillful accompaniments of Nicolas Slonimsky, and the recital became one of more than usual attractiveness." Boston Globe: "Miss Ehrhart, in choosing her program had not spared herself. Out of a list pf more than twenty songs there were not more than three or four that are commonly seen upon recital programs. There were several, notably among the modern songs, which had made large demands upon both musician- ship and vocal skill. Throughout the concert, Miss Ehrhart sang with spirit, intelligence and musical insight. Throughout last night's program she constantly held the interest and gave pleasure. Mr. Slonimsky's accompaniments, all played excellently from memory, deserve special commendation." Pianoforte by Mason and Hamlin Management, A. H. HANDLEY, 162 Boylston Street, Boston 1990 — — — Boston Sinfonietta Enthusiastically Reviewed At Its Last Boston Concert! NOW BOOKING FOR A SERIES OF THIRTY ENGAGEMENTS IN THE NEW ENGLAND TERRITORY 1928-i:9 Boston Sinfonietta ARTHUR FIEDLER Conductor "By and large, a fortunate occasion ! . . . First. last and all the time, the players gave a good account of themselves ; Mr. Fiedler no less. For here was music that he understands and feels : than he can disclose, character and heighten. His ear and his hand are quick to it and to his orchestra. By the it' evidence of yesterday . . . 'he knows what he wants and gets —which the wise say, is the gist, of all conducting. He is also springy, flexible, keen, in the gaining ; while to him his orchestra answers on the instant. It was a pleasure to see him and it standing, more than once, in the applauded half-circle." Boston Transcript (H. T. P.) "Thanks to the initiative, the courage and the abilities of Arthur Fiedler, who led his Boston Sinfonietta through a programme of modernist music at Jordan Hall last evening, an audience musically and socially representative was treated to one of the most stimulating concerts that, this town has heard in many a day."- Boston Post (Warren Storey Smith) "It was high time these works were set before a Boston audience. Mr. Fiedler has earned the gratitude of the town by making them heard. With them out of the way, with the ground thus laid, he is now in a position to go on to modern works of greater importance. His enterprise deserves encourage- ment." Christian Science Monitor. "Each number was applauded heartily. The size and enthusiasm of the audience should encourage Mr. Fiedler and the management to venture other similar concerts." Boston Globe (P. R.) "One of the most interesting events of a musical season that has had many headlights was the concert of modern music by Arthur Fiedler and his Boston Sinfonietta. This organization has been heard here previously to great ad- vantage, but never in so ambitious a program as that set. for last evening's concert at .Tordan Hall."

Indeed, in the creation of the Mason & Hamlin Piano- forte, its makers originally chose the human voice as their Ideal, and to this Ideal they have ever remained unswervingly steadfast.
