Perspectives from the Executive Director

7Severance Hall 2012-13 7Severance Hall 2012-13

April 2013

At the end of March, The Cleveland Orchestra received a $10 million,

five-year grant from The Cleveland Foundation — the largest such

commitment to an arts organization in the Foundation’s history and

one of the largest gifts ever received by the Orchestra. We are deep-

ly grateful for this exceptional grant and for the confidence in the

Orchestra’s strategic direction that it represents. Over the past year,

the Foundation’s staff and board have rigorously assessed the Orchestra’s ongoing trans-

formation, and we sincerely appreciate their generous support of this important work.

The Cleveland Foundation grant is a testament to much more than the Orchestra’s

historical ranking among the world’s best — it is an extraordinary commitment to our

programming innovations and our active community engagement. Sweeping changes

at The Cleveland Orchestra have taken root in recent years and are starting to bear fruit.

These include our efforts to foster future audiences, to shape and focus our education

programs, and our work to build strong and meaningful working partnerships across the

Northeast Ohio community.

We are on target for a record-breaking season in ticket sales here at Severance Hall, in-

cluding a significant increase in the number of young people eagerly enjoying and ener-

gizing our regular classical concerts. These numbers are the direct result of strong mar-

keting programs (such as Student Advantage and Under18s Free) for our core symphonic

concerts and innovative programming changes (including the KeyBank Fridays@7 and

Celebrity series).

Our education and community programs are also scoring strong successes. Our long-

standing commitment to education was celebrated in March, including a unique

showcase concert featuring all our youth ensembles performing together with The

Cleveland Orchestra for the first time — a special event that was telecast on WVIZ. In

addition, we believe that the introduction of “Make Music!” as a focus and catalyst for

our ongoing work in music education will bring new understanding and energy to

these programs. New initiatives in the community include the Orchestra’s inaugural

neighborhood residency, “At Home in Gordon Square,” which unleashes a week filled

with free events and performances, May 11-17, as part of the vibrant renaissance of this

westside neighborhood.

Good news about The Cleveland Orchestra and Northeast Ohio will continue. The initial

stages of our Sound for the Centennial Campaign’s endowment and special fundraising

phases have been strong, as evidenced by The Cleveland Foundation’s generous gift

and by commitments from additional forward-looking organizations and individuals

(see pages 48-49). This Campaign spans the decade up to the Orchestra’s hundredth

birthday in 2018, and comprises all our fundraising efforts across the next five years.

With your support and enthusiasm, there will be more good news ahead — for The

Cleveland Orchestra and the entire Northeast Ohio community.

U N D E R T H E L E A D E R S H I P of Music Director Franz Welser-Möst, Th e Cleve-

land Orchestra has become one of the most sought-aft er performing ensem-

bles in the world. In concerts at its winter home at Severance Hall and at each

summer’s Blossom Festival, in residencies from Miami to Vienna, and on tour

around the world, Th e Cleveland Orchestra sets standards of artistic excel-

lence, creative programming, and community engagement. Th e partnership

with Franz Welser-Möst, now in its eleventh season — and with a commit-

ment to the Orchestra’s centennial in 2018 — has moved the ensemble forward

with a series of new and ongoing initiatives, including:

the establishment of residencies around the world, fostering creative artistic

growth and an expanded fi nancial base, including an ongoing residency at

the Vienna Musik verein (the fi rst of its kind by an American orchestra);

expansion of education and community programs in Northeast Ohio to

make music an integral and regular part of everyday life for more people; the

2012-13 season includes the launch of an annual Neighborhood Residency pro-

additional new residencies at Indiana University and at New York’s Lincoln Cen-

ter Festival;

the return of ballet as a regular part of the Orchestra’s presentations, featuring

performances by Th e Joff rey Ballet; the 2012-13 season featured the Orchestra’s fi rst

fully staged performances of Tchaikovsky’s Th e Nutcracker.

Th e Cleveland Orchestra was founded in 1918 by a group of local citizens in-

tent on creating an ensemble worthy of joining America’s ranks of major sympho-

ny orchestras. Over the ensuing decades, the Orchestra quickly grew from a fi ne

regional organization to being one of the most admired symphony orchestras in

the world. Th e opening in 1931 of Severance Hall as the Orchestra’s home brought

a special pride to the ensemble and its hometown, as well as providing an enviable

and intimate acoustic environment in which to develop and refi ne the Orchestra’s

artistry. Year-round performances became a reality in 1968 with the opening of

Blossom Music Center, one of the most beautiful and acoustically admired outdoor

concert facilities in the United States.

Franz Welser-Möst Music Director Kelvin Smith Family Endowed Chair The Cleveland Orchestra

T H E 2 01 2 -1 3 S E A S O N marks Franz Welser-Möst’s

eleventh year as music director of Th e Cleveland

Orchestra, with a long-term commitment extend-

ing to the Orchestra’s centennial in 2018. Under his

direction, the Orchestra is acclaimed for its continu-

ing artistic excellence, is enlarging and enhancing its

community programming at home, is presented in a

series of ongoing residencies in the United States and

Europe, continues its historic championship of new

composers through commissions and premieres, and

has re-established itself as an important operatic en-

semble. Concurrently with his post in Cleveland, Mr. Welser-Möst became

general music director of the Vienna State Opera in September 2010.

With a committed focus on music education in Northeast Ohio, Franz

Welser-Möst has taken Th e Cleveland Orchestra back into public schools with

performances in collaboration with the Cleveland Metropolitan School District.

Th e initiative continues and expands upon Mr. Welser-Möst’s active participation

in community concerts and educational programs, including the Cleveland Orches-

tra Youth Orchestra and partnerships with music conservatories and universities

across Northeast Ohio.

Under Mr. Welser-Möst’s leadership, Th e Cleveland Orchestra has established

an ongoing biennial residency in Vienna at the famed Musikverein concert hall and

another at Switzerland’s Lucerne Festival. Together, they have appeared in residence

at Suntory Hall in Tokyo, Japan, and at the Salzburg Festival, where a 2008 residency

included fi ve sold-out performances of a staged production of Dvořák’s opera Rusalka.

In the United States, Mr. Welser-Möst has established an annual multi-week Cleveland

Orch estra residency in Florida under the name Cleveland Orchestra Miami and, in

2011, launched a new biennial residency at New York’s Lincoln Center Festival.

To the start of this season, Th e Cleveland Orchestra has performed fourteen

world and fi ft een United States premieres under Franz Welser-Möst’s direction.

Th rough the Roche Commissions project, he and the Orchestra have premiered

works by Harrison Birtwistle, Chen Yi, Hanspeter Kyburz, George Benjamin,

Toshio Hosokawa, and Matthias Pintscher in partnership with the Lucerne Festi-

val and Carnegie Hall. In addition, the Daniel R. Lewis Young Composer Fellow

program has brought new voices to the repertoire, including Pintscher, Marc-An-

dré Dalbavie, Susan Botti, Julian Anderson, Johannes Maria Staud, Jörg Widmann,

and Sean Shepherd.

in Cleveland, re-establishing the Orchestra as an important oper-

atic ensemble. Following six seasons of opera-in-concert presen-

tations, he brought fully staged opera back to Severance Hall with

a three-season cycle of Zurich Opera productions of the Mozart-

Da Ponte operas. He led concert performances of Strauss’s Sa-

lome at Severance Hall and at Carnegie Hall in May 2012.

Franz Welser-Möst became general music director of the

Vienna State Opera in 2010. His long partnership with the com-

pany has included acclaimed performances of Tristan and Isolde,

a new production of Wagner’s Ring cycle with stage director Sven-

Eric Bechtolf, and critically praised new productions of Hin-

demith’s Cardillac and Janáček’s Katya Kabanova and From the

House of the Dead. During the 2012-13 season, his Vienna performances include

Wagner’s Parsifal, Strauss’s Arabella and Ariadne auf Naxos, Puccini’s La Bohème,

and Berg’s Wozzeck.

Mr. Welser-Möst also maintains an ongoing relationship with the Vienna Phil-

harmonic. Recent performances with the Philharmonic include appearances at the

Lucerne Festival and Salzburg Festival, in Tokyo, and in concert at La Scala Milan,

as well as leading the Philharmonic’s 2011 New Year’s Day concert, viewed by telecast

in seventy countries worldwide; he conducted the New Year’s Day concert again at

the start of 2013 and also leads the Philharmonic in a series of concerts at New York’s

Carnegie Hall in March 2013. Across a decade-long tenure with the Zurich Opera,

culminating in three seasons as general music director (2005-08), Mr. Welser-Möst

led the company in more than 40 new productions and numerous revivals.

Franz Welser-Möst’s recordings and videos have won major awards, including

the Gramophone Award, Diapason d’Or, Japanese Record Academy Award, and

two Grammy nominations. With Th e Cleveland Orchestra, he has created DVD

recordings of live performances of Bruckner symphonies, presented in three acous-

tically distinctive venues (the Abbey of St. Florian in Austria, Vienna’s Musik-

verein, and Severance Hall). With Cleveland, he has also released a recording of

Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony as well as an all-Wagner album featuring soprano

Measha Brueggergosman. DVD releases on the EMI label have included Mr. Wels-

er-Möst leading Zurich Opera productions of Th e Marriage of Figaro, Così fan tutte,

Don Giovanni, Der Rosenkavalier, Fierrabras, and Peter Grimes.

For his talents and dedication, Mr. Welser-Möst has received honors that

include recognition from the Western Law Center for Disability Rights, honor-

ary membership in the Vienna Singverein, appointment as an Academician of the

European Academy of Yuste, a Gold Medal from the Upper Austrian government

for his work as a cultural ambassador, a Decoration of Honor from the Republic of

Austria for his artistic achievements, and the Kilenyi Medal from the Bruckner So-

ciety of America. He is the co-author of Cadences: Observations and Conversations,

published in a German edition in 2007.

On March 28, The Cleveland Foundation an-

nounced the awarding of a five-year, $10 million

grant to The Cleveland Orchestra in support of

the Orchestra’s recent and ongoing efforts to

attract a new, broader audience and to trans-

form itself for the future. Given as part of the

Orchestra’s Sound for the Centennial Campaign,

this unprecedented grant is the largest single

grant to an arts organization in the Foundation’s

99-year history.

“We are deeply grateful for the Cleveland

Foundation’s extraordinary grant and the con-

fidence in the Orchestra’s strategic direction

that it represents,” says Gary Hanson, executive

director of The Cleveland Orchestra. “Over the

past year, the foundation’s staff and board have

rigorously assessed the Orchestra’s ongoing

transformation and we sincerely appreciate their

generous commitment to our work.”

“Through the years, the Cleveland Foun-

dation has stepped up to provide significant

support to major Northeast Ohio institutions

at pivotal times,” remarked Ronald B. Richard,

president and chief executive officer of the Foun-

dation. “We intend that this grant will catalyze

additional leadership funding for the Orchestra’s

creative efforts in the community to make this

world-class institution accessible and enjoyable

to all of Greater Cleveland for years to come.”

The grant to the Orchestra was part of a

record $26.6 million in grants in the first quarter

of 2013 authorized by the Foundation’s board

of directors, including grants in support of core

neighborhood and youth initiatives, educa-

tional institutions, and efforts to create a vibrant

downtown. Established in 1914, the Cleveland

Foundation is the world’s first community foun-

dation and one of the largest today. Through the

generosity of donors, the foundation improves

the lives of Greater Clevelanders by building

community endowment, addressing needs

through grantmaking, and providing leadership

on vital issues.

Cleveland Foundation grants Orchestra $10 million Largest gift to an arts organization in Foundation’s history

is vote of confidence in The Cleveland Orchestra’s programming

innovations and community engagement across Northeast Ohio

“The Cleveland Foundation’s just-announced

$10 million grant to The Cleveland Orchestra —

the largest arts grant in the foundation’s history

— is a ringing vote of confidence in the future of

this treasured local institution and its pacesetting

innovations. . . . The grant is a welcome affirma-

tion that The Cleveland Orchestra will be making

beautiful music for another 100 years.”

—Cleveland Plain Dealer, March 28

The Cleveland Foundation has awarded The

Cleveland Orchestra a $10 million grant to

support its ongoing efforts to cultivate new

and broader audiences and to build a strong

endowment to sustain the nearly century-old

institution. The grant . . . is a demonstration of

the grantmaking organization’s confidence in

the strategic direction the orchestra is taking,

said Robert Eckardt, The Cleveland Foundation’s

executive vice president. . . . “It was time to step

up and provide a significant commitment to the

Orchestra as they work through the challenging

environment they find themselves in,” Mr. Eckardt

said. . . . “They are an important part of Cleve-

land’s brand, and it’s difficult to imagine Cleve-

land without a world-class orchestra.” . . . Gary

Hanson, the orchestra’s executive director, stated

that The Cleveland Foundation’s commitment . . .

adds “meaningful momentum” to the Orchestra’s

Sound for the Centennial fundraising campaign,

which runs through 2018 — the orchestra’s

100-year anniversary.

News


The Cleveland Orchestra has announced its

2013-14 season, with complete details and

renewal forms due to be mailed to all cur-

rent subscribers in the coming weeks. (For

the first time, series subscriptions can be re-

newed online through the Orchestra’s website

— complete instructions are included in each

subscriber’s mailed renewal package.)

Series packages for the season’s classi-

cal concerts are available through Severance

Hall Ticket Services as of the end of March.

Individual tickets to the season will go on sale

in late summer. Additional details about the

2013-14 season — including Celebrity Series,

Family Concert Series, PNC Musical Rainbows,

Holiday Concerts, and special presentations

— will be announced in the coming months.

For the 2013-14 season, Franz Welser-

Möst introduces a Fall Festival, pairing sym-

phonies by Beethoven and Shostakovich, and

an all-Brahms weekend with two programs

featuring works by Brahms, and also leads

semi-staged performances of Janáček’s The

Cunning Little Vixen. Guest artists returning to

Severance Hall include Leon Fleisher, Mitsuko

Uchida, Radu Lupu, and conductors Christoph

von Dohnányi, Pierre Boulez, and Herbert

Blomstedt. The Orchestra commemorates the

100th anniversary of the birth of Benjamin

Britten with performances of three of his ma-

jor works.

FRANZ WELSER-MÖST CONDUCTS

In his twelfth season as music director,

Franz Welser-Möst introduces a Fall Festival in

October, featuring symphonies by Beethoven

and Shostakovich in three programs.

Beethoven’s Symphonies Nos. 3, 4, and 5 are

paired with Shostakovich’s Nos. 6, 8, and 10.

In addition to conducting the performances at

Severance Hall, Welser-Möst will speak about

the program pairings in a special festival

preview. “The dream of freedom inspired the

founding of our society,” says Welser-Möst.

“Political and social freedom is presented so

emotionally and clearly in Beethoven’s music.

By listening to the music of Beethoven and

Shostakovich in juxtaposition, we can experi-

ence their ideas of freedom from different

eras, yet from today’s perspective.”

Franz Welser-Möst continues an empha-

sis on operatic and choral repertoire in the

2013-14 season, with the Cleveland premiere

performances of Janáček’s opera The Cunning

Little Vixen and performances of Beethoven’s

Mass in C major and Britten’s Spring Sympho-

ny. Soprano Martina Janková returns to per-

form the title role in The Cunning Little Vixen

in May 2014. The cast also includes bass-bari-

tone Alan Held and mezzo-sopranos Jennifer

Johnson Cano and Julie Boulianne.

The music of Brahms will be featured in

two programs led by Welser-Möst in January

2014. Each program features the Violin Con-

Pierre Boulez returns to conduct two pro-

grams in February 2014. Schoenberg’s Verklärte

Nacht (“Transfigured Night”) opens the first

program, which also includes Bartók’s Violin

Concerto No. 2 with Nikolaj Znaider. The sec-

ond program features Debussy’s La Mer (“The

Sea”) and Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun.

Christoph von Dohnányi, the Orchestra’s

music director laureate, returns to conduct an

all Schumann program with Symphonies Nos. 2

and 4, in March 2014.

Herbert Blomstedt makes his sixth set of

appearances at Severance Hall in April 2014,

leading performances of Dvořák’s Cello Con-

certo with Cleveland Orchestra principal cello

Mark Kosower paired with Tchaikovsky’s Sym-

phony No. 6 (“Pathétique”).

BENJAMIN BRITTEN COMMEMORATION

During the 2013-14 season, The Cleveland

Orchestra will mark the 100th anniversary com-

memoration of Benjamin Britten’s birth. Born

November 22, 1913, Britten is one of the most

celebrated and most performed British com-

posers. In March 2014, Franz Welser-Möst con-

ducts Britten’s Spring Symphony, a large work

with soloists and chorus that Britten described

as “a symphony not only dealing with the

Spring itself but with the progress of Winter to

Spring and the reawakening of the earth and

life which that means.”

In October 2013, Marek Janowski leads

performances of Britten’s Serenade for Tenor,

Horn, and Strings with soloists Matthew Po-

lenzani and Cleveland Orchestra principal horn

Richard King. The Serenade is a song cycle

about night, sleep, and death, with texts by six

British poets. And in May 2014, Janine Jansen

performs Britten’s Violin Concerto under the

direction of Vladimir Jurowski.

GLOBAL AMBASSADORS

Beyond the concert season at Severance

Hall, Franz Welser-Möst and The Cleveland Or-

chestra embark on their 13th international tour

together in November 2013. The tour launches

with a performance on the Great Performers

series at Lincoln Center in New York. In Europe,

the Orchestra will perform twelve concerts,

including a week-long residency at Vienna’s

Musikverein.

The George Gund Foundation awarded a

$3 million grant at its February board meeting

to support The Cleveland Orchestra’s Sound

for the Centennial Campaign. Pledged over six

years, the award honors the late George Gund

III, who was a trustee of the Musical Arts Asso-

ciation.

The Foundation’s commitment perma-

nently endows a new Fund for Artistic Excel-

lence in George Gund’s name, providing

immediate support for the Orchestra’s core

artistic programming for the community. “This

commitment to the Campaign not only cel-

ebrates George Gund’s legacy and leadership

at the Orchestra,” said David Abbott, the Foun-

dation’s executive director. “It also ensures that

one of our community’s most valuable assets

can continue to serve Northeast Ohio at the

George Gund Foundation supports Th e Cleveland Orchestra’s

“Sound for the Centennial Campaign” with $3 million gift

highest levels of artistic excellence.”

George Gund III was elected as an interna-

tional trustee in 1994 and served on the board

of the Musical Arts Association for 19 years. The

new gift is the largest gift made by the Gund

Foundation to The Cleveland Orchestra, and

ranks among the largest institutional leader-

ship commitments to the Sound for the Centen-

nial Campaign thus far, as well as among the

Foundation’s largest commitments to a cultural

organization in Northeast Ohio.

The Orchestra’s Sound for the Centennial

Campaign runs through the Orchestra’s centen-

nial in 2018 and will ensure that the Orchestra

can continue to thrive now and into the future

by building a signifi cant endowment and pro-

viding immediate support for artistic excellence

and community and education programs.

Chorus auditions announced for children,youth, and adult singers for Blossom and 2013-14 Spring audition dates for the choral groups

sponsored by The Cleveland Orchestra have

been announced. The auditions — for adults,

youth, and children — are for membership in

groups singing during the 2013 Blossom Music

Festival and the 2013-14 Season at Severance

Hall. Auditions will take place in May and June.

The Cleveland Orchestra Choruses embody a

long-standing commitment to choral music in

which community members of all ages have the

opportunity to participate.

The Cleveland Orchestra Children’s

Chorus is open to students in grades 6-8 and

directed by Ann Usher, and the Cleveland Or-

chestra Children’s Preparatory Chorus is open to

students in grades 5-8 and directed by Suzanne

Walters. Both groups are holding auditions on

May 20, June 3, and June 8. The Children’s Cho-

rus, formed in 1967, provides musical training in

vocal production and choral performance skills.

The Children’s Preparatory Chorus provides

children with initial choral experiences to which

younger singers may not have been exposed,

while establishing a solid foundation in vocal

production techniques.

To audition, children are asked to sing one

verse of “America” (My Country, ’Tis of Thee) with

piano accompaniment in the key of his or her

choice and one verse of “America the Beautiful”

(Oh beautiful, for spacious skies) without accom-

paniment in the key of D. Singing scales and

doing some rhythmic exercises may also be in-

cluded in the audition, for which an accompanist

is provided.

Students in grades 9-12 are welcome to

audition for the Cleveland Orchestra Youth

Chorus, directed by Lisa Wong, on May 4, June

1, or June 2. Created in 1991, the Youth Chorus

helps raise awareness of choral music-making

in the schools of Northeast Ohio and encour-

ages students to continue their choral activities

through college and into adulthood. The Youth

Chorus collaborates each season in performance

with the Cleveland Orchestra Youth Orchestra.

Youth Chorus audition requirements are to pre-

pare a piece from the OMEA Solo & Ensemble list,

or an equivalent classical solo piece; Broadway

or “pop” tunes are not acceptable. In addition

to the prepared piece, students will be asked to

sight-read and demonstrate their vocal range.

An accompanist is provided at the audition.

The Cleveland Orchestra Chorus is one of

the few professionally trained, all-volunteer cho-

ruses sponsored by a major American orchestra.

Coming from nearly fifty Northeast Ohio com-

munities, members of the Chorus perform with

The Cleveland Orchestra in subscription and

Christmas concerts each year. Previous choral

experience and sight-reading skills are required.

The Blossom Festival Chorus includes many

members of the Cleveland Orchestra Chorus

and other Northeast Ohio choral groups. It has

established itself as a permanent annual part of

the summertime Blossom Festival and has sung

in more than 100 concerts since its 1968 debut.

Both groups are directed by Robert Porco.

Auditions for the Cleveland Orchestra

Chorus and Blossom Festival Chorus will be held

May 20 and 21, by appointment only. Those

auditioning are asked to prepare two pieces

from the classical literature, one of which should

be in a foreign language. Each piece should be

approximately two minutes in length. Previous

choral experience and sight-reading skills are

required. An accompanist is provided at the

audition.

To schedule an audition, call the Chorus

Office at 216-231-7374, or send an email to

[email protected].

Invention &LegacyT H E T H I R T Y- T WO Beethoven piano sonatas, the two-hundred-odd

Bach cantatas, Wagner’s Ring of the Nibelung operas — these stand

among the mighty legacies of classical music, works that lie at the heart

of Western civilization.

Mozart’s piano concertos belong indisputably in this company,

and although they are all the work of a young man who did not progress

from stage to stage as longer-lived composers did, they present an unri-

valed wealth of invention and feeling.

More consistent in style than his operas, more personal than his

symphonies, and more accessible than his chamber music, Mozart’s pi-

ano concertos — written across a period of eighteen years — have a fair

claim to represent the real Mozart.

With Mitsuko Uchida leading the Orchestra from the keyboard,

this weekend’s concerts feature two concertos from the richest period

of this composer’s highly productive life, the mid-1780s. Both are su-

perb specimens of his unequaled craft . So is the Divertimento in B-fl at

major, which heralds the sixteen-year-old composer’s emergence from

childhood to an adolescent maturity. For this piece for strings alone,

following 18th-century practice, Th e Cleveland Orchestra will perform

standing, led by Peter Otto from the front chair of fi rst violins.

B E T W E E N T H E B E G I N N I N G of 1784 and the end of 1786,

within a span of three years, Mozart composed a dozen piano

concertos. Th ere could be no clearer indication of his high

standing as a concert soloist in those years, nor of his intensely

rich creativity in a form that, at the time, was somewhat nar-

rowly circumscribed in terms of length and design, but which he

craft ed with an endless variety of detail. He was happy to keep

writing new works in the same genre, usually for himself to play,

and his invention showed no sign whatever of going stale.

Writing and playing piano concertos was his main occu-

pation at this time. Many Viennese thought of him then as a

star pianist rather than as a composer. He had not yet proved

himself, in their eyes, as an opera composer. When their appe-

tite for piano concertos declined, his career faltered. We have

to imagine his ever boyish personality delighting in the public

attention he received when playing his concertos, conducting

from the keyboard, admired by audience and orchestra, and

clearly mining depths of feeling in the music that belied the

superfi cial features of his behavior. But, of course, he was al-

ways ahead of his audience, wishing they understood the music

more profoundly, thinking about his next work, and longing

for offi cial recognition that might ease the uncertainties of the

musician’s life.

Some of his concertos were written for others to play, al-

ways young women. Th is concerto, No. 17, and an earlier one,

No. 14 in E-fl at major, were written for Barbara Ployer, daugh-

ter of the Vienna agent of the Salzburg court, Franz Cajetan

Ployer. She paid Mozart “handsomely” for the commission,

but when or if she played the fi rst performances is not known.

She certainly did perform this second of her concertos at her

father’s house in Döbling, just outside Vienna, on June 13, 1784,

for we know that Mozart proudly took the famous composer

Giovanni Paisiello along as his guest so that he could hear some

of Mozart’s works.

Th e concerto displays a delightful open-air breeziness,

clearly expressed in the fi rst movement’s opening theme and

in the elegant passagework that the piano eagerly off ers as soon

as it enters. However simple a theme may be at its fi rst appear-

ance, it will always lead to a parade of glittering fi ngerwork as

it approaches a big cadence, as it has to do at least twice in an

opening movement of this kind. (Notice the bold absence of

accompaniment in the fi rst bar — the melody has started in the

violins, but the other instruments are obliged to hold back.)

Th e elegant second movement puts the wind instruments

on display, as if in rivalry with the piano, and the third move-

ment opens as a series of variations on a nicely balanced, play-

ful theme. Th e fi nale’s fi rst three variations get more elaborate

one by one; the fourth is tortuous and chromatic, in the minor

mode, with, in compensation, a jubilant variation to follow,

which almost seems to beg for the trumpets and drums that

this concerto does not employ.

Rather than pursue his variations to the end, Mozart

closes with something like a scene from a comic opera, as if in

anticipation of Th e Marriage of Figaro, although he allows the

theme of the variations to make a teasing reappearance at the

very end.

When he played the solo part in his concertos himself,

Mozart normally did not bother to write out the solo cadenzas,

nor perhaps did he have time. He clearly enjoyed improvising

such things. When others played, he would usually write out

such parts for them. Th us, for this concerto we have authentic

cadenzas for the fi rst two movements — and also some less au-

thentic ones, which at a minimum date from the same period.

Th ese serve as useful models for today’s pianists if they choose

to provide their own cadenzas.—Hugh Macdonald © 2013

About the Music

Mozart composed this piano concerto in G

major (later cataloged as K453 and designated

as No. 17) in the spring of 1784, completing it

on April 12. It was performed on June 13 of that

year, by Mozart’s pupil Babette Ployer; it may

have been played early that year, at a concert in

late April, with Mozart as soloist and conductor.

This concerto runs about 30 minutes in

performance. Mozart scored it for fl ute, 2

oboes, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, strings, and solo

piano. Mitsuko Uchida is performing Mozart’s

own cadenzas in this concerto.

The Cleveland Orchestra fi rst performed

this concerto in April 1948, with George Szell

conducting and Rudolf Serkin as soloist. Among

later performances, Peter Serkin (Rudolf’s son)

was the soloist with the Orchestra in Septem-

ber 1990 under the direction of Christoph von

Dohnányi. The most recent performances

were in November 2011 at Severance Hall, with

Jonathan Biss as soloist and Fabio Luisi

as conductor.

E A R LY I N 1772 , the sixteen-year-old Mozart composed three

short works for strings, which survive together in a single manu-

script and were cataloged in the 19th century as K136 through

K138. At the head of each piece, someone else later wrote the

title “Divertimento,” as good a title as any for such a clever,

appealing musical selection. Somewhere in the chronological

numbering of Mozart’s works compiled by Ludwig Ritter von

Köchel, the music ceases to be a child’s work and becomes a

man’s — and for many, the milestone is to be found at No. 136,

the fi rst of these three Divertimentos. We could probably live,

albeit regretfully, without the fi rst 135 works, but the 136th and

its two companion pieces are small masterpieces, perfect in

craft smanship and full of that intensely musical vitality that was

beginning to mark off Mozart as more than a child prodigy.

He had just returned from a long visit to Italy, where he

had composed a good deal and been abundantly admired. Th e

prospect of a successful career was still undimmed, although

the recent appointment of the unsympathetic Hieronymus von

Colloredo as archbishop of Salzburg was to cast a long shadow

over the next nine years.

Th ese three short works reveal little of Mozart’s real teen-

age heart, but they do tell us how perfectly he understood string

instruments. In performance, we should picture father Leopold

leading a group of string players from the fi rst violin desk at

the Salzburg court, while everyone talked noisily through the

music, undiverted by the Divertimento.

Th e second of the three works, K137, begins, unusually,

with the slow movement, and begins moreover with phrases

that sound more like the middle than the start of a movement.

All three movements are patterned in the same way, each a

compact sonata form, with both halves of each movement re-

peated. Th e tune that closes each half of the fi nal movement

has a folksy charm that reminds us that even at court the peas-

ants’ music has a place.

Much ink has been spilled in debating the issue of whether

these works are for string orchestra or for string quartet. Th e

original manuscript does not make it clear and they were not

published until some years aft er the composer’s death. Th e

ambiguity lies in the word “Basso” (rather than “Bassi”) for

What’s his name? Mozart was baptized as

Johannes Chrysostomus Wolf-

gangus Th eophilus Mozart. His

fi rst two baptismal names, Jo-

hannes Chrysostomus, represent

his saints’ names, following the

custom of the Roman Catholic

Church at the time. In practice,

his family called him Wolfgang.

Th eophilus comes from Greek

and can be rendered as “lover of

God” or “loved by God.” Amadeus is a Latin version of this

same name. Mozart most oft en signed his name as “Wolf-

gang Amadè Mozart,” saving Amadeus only as an occasional

joke. At the time of his death, scholars in all fi elds of learn-

ing were quite enamored of Latin naming and conventions

(this is the period of the classifi cation and cataloging of life

on earth into kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus,

species, etc.), and successfully “changed” his name to Ama-

deus. Only in recent years have we started remembering the

Amadè middle name he preferred.

the cello (and bass) part, since the singular form was habitu-

T H E F I N A L C O N C E R T O from the series of fi ft een such works

that Mozart wrote between 1784 and 1786, No. 25 in modern

numbering, is in the key of C major and was completed on De-

cember 4, 1786. Only two days later, the composer completed a

new symphony in D major. We do not know whether Mozart

had a particular occasion in mind for the performance of these

works, but two days later the Vienna correspondent of a Hamburg

newspaper reported that “the famous composer Herr Mozart”

was preparing to travel in the coming New Year to London. “He

will go by way of Paris.” Such a trip (which never took place)

would certainly require new works in his luggage.

In fact he went not to London or Paris (his aging father

Leopold refused to babysit), but to present Th e Marriage of Fi-

garo to the citizens of Prague, who so loved the opera that they

immediately commissioned another masterpiece in the form

of Don Giovanni. While Mozart was there, the new symphony

was played on January 19, 1787, and so it has come down to his-

tory as the “Prague” Symphony. When — or even if — the new

piano concerto was played by the composer is not known.

Th e two works, concerto and symphony, had probably

taken shape on Mozart’s desk side by side. From his exhaus-

tive study of Mozart’s manuscripts, the British scholar Alan

Tyson was able to show that the fi rst six leaves (out of 55) of

the manuscript of the concerto were set down in the winter of

1784-85, nearly two years before the date of completion. So,

having buried his third child on November 17, 1786, and hav-

ing completed a piano trio one day later, Mozart must have

worked at incredible speed to fi nish the piano concerto as well

as a brand new symphony within a couple of weeks.

Firm, heroic C-major chords proclaim a majestic tone

for the fi rst movement. Mozart’s previous piano concerto had

been in C minor, with a somber and earnest tone that needed

to be dispelled in brighter major-key colors. So here the sun

seems to shine and the invention reposes on solid chords and

scales — with not too much of that expressive chromaticism

that Mozart could always turn to when he wished to plumb

the depths of feeling. Th e second principal tune, as simple as

a nursery song, switches playfully from minor to major.

By convention, the soloist will review the orchestra’s themes

Piano Concerto No. 25 in C major, K503composed 1784-86

by Wolfgang Amadè




Altogether, Mozart created more than thirty separate works for orchestra and piano. Although

a few were published during his lifetime, many did not become widely available until efforts

in the 19th century to organize, catalog, and publish the composer’s output. Ludwig von

Köchel reconstructed the chronology of Mozart’s compositions in the mid-19th century and

published his cataloging of Mozart’s works in 1862. Following Köchel’s chronology, the music

for Mozart’s complete works was published by Breitkopf & Härtel, with the piano concertos

numbered chronologically from 1 to 27.

The fi rst four numbered concertos are early works now known to be arrangements of key-

board sonatas by various other contemporary composers (including Raupach, Honauer, and

C.P.E. Bach). Not included in the list printed here are three additional concertos that Mozart

completed in 1772 from music by J.C. Bach.

About the Music


in a diff erent light, but Mozart instead replaces the nursery tune

with two new themes of much greater sophistication. For that

transgression, the opening movement’s development section —

usually a potpourri of tunes heard earlier — is confi ned entirely

to the nursery theme, heard in every possible key and every pos-

sible combination, and leading to a kind of marvelous fl owing

woodwind passages that Mozart particularly favored in his piano

concertos. Th e movement’s recapitulation section dutifully pres-

ents all the themes again, with no favorites. Th e composer, ex-

pecting to play the solo part himself, wrote down no cadenza.

Th e second-movement Andante’s melody is elegantly

shared by violins, fl ute, and the other winds. Th e piano enters

with the same melody, and a mood of unhurried serenity takes

over. Some wide leaps in the right hand are the only possible

disturbances of this quiet mood, never straying far from the

main key and the main melody.

Th e third-movement fi nale is a rondo of the playful type

favored in these concertos. Th e soloist repeatedly introduces

sprightly new ideas; the orchestra regularly brings back the

rondo theme. In one episode the piano leads off , then hands the

tune to the oboe, then to the fl ute, then to oboe and bassoon,

and the woodwinds draw each other in as if to a gathering of

like-minded friends. It is no wonder that wind players have

such a fondness for Mozart’s piano concertos. Th e solo part is

full of virtuoso fi guration, and it keeps pressing up against the

high F, which was the top note on Mozart’s piano. Yet there is

never any sense that Mozart was fi ghting against the resources

he had available to him; he matched means to ends in a balance

that no other composer ever achieved.

This is the fi nal

concerto from

the great se-

ries of fi fteen

such works that

Mozart wrote

between 1784

and 1786. We

do not know

whether Mozart

had a particu-

lar occasion

in mind for its

performance.

Mozart completed this C-major

concerto in Vienna on Decem -

ber 4, 1786, in time for the winter

concert season, during which it was

most likely fi rst performed, with the

composer as soloist. An exact date

has not been established.

This concerto runs about 30

minutes in performance. Mozart

scored it for fl ute, 2 oboes, 2 bas-

soons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani,

and strings, plus the solo piano.

Mitsuko Uchida is performing her

own cadenzas in this concerto.

The Cleveland Orchestra fi rst

performed Mozart’s Piano Con-

certo No. 25 in February 1951, when

Rudolf Serkin played the piano un-

der George Szell’s direction. (Szell

played a role in re-establishing this

concerto into the general reper-

toire, from which it had lapsed in

the 19th century. In 1934, Szell led

what appears to have been the fi rst

performance of this concerto in

Vienna since the composer’s death,

with soloist Artur Schnabel.) The

Cleveland Orchestra’s most recent

performance was during the 2011

Blossom Festival, when Hans Graf

conducted and Jeff rey Kahane was

the soloist.

Mitsuko UchidaMitsuko Uchida’s interpretations of a wide range of reper-

toire have gained her a formidable reputation as a pianist

who brings intellectual acuity and musical insight to her

performances. She is particularly noted for her interpreta-

tions of Mozart, Beethoven, and Schubert, both in the con-

cert hall and on CD, but has also illuminated the music of

Berg, Schoenberg, Webern, and Boulez, for a new generation

of listeners.

Ms. Uchida made her Cleveland Orchestra debut in

February 1990, and since that time has performed with the

Orchestra at Severance Hall, at its annual Blossom Festival,

and on tour in Europe and Japan. She made her Cleveland

Orchestra conducting debut in March 1998, and subsequent-

ly led performances from the keyboard of all of Mozart’s solo piano concertos as

artist-in-residence across fi ve seasons (2002-07). Her most recent appearances with

the Orchestra in Cleveland were for performances in April 2012, leading Mozart

piano concertos from the keyboard. In February 2011, she performed in a special

solo benefi t concert at Severance Hall to raise funds to support the ongoing main-

tenance of Th e Cleveland Orchestra’s pianos. In the autumn of 2010, she travelled

to Asia for performances with the Orchestra in Japan. A year earlier, she appeared

as soloist during the Orchestra’s 2009 European Tour and Vienna Musikverein

Residency with Franz Welser-Möst.

Mitsuko Uchida performs throughout the world with many diff erent part-

ners. In addition to playing with Th e Cleveland Orchestra, recent and upcoming

highlights include a new series of the fi ve Beethoven piano concertos (spanning

two seasons) with the London Symphony Orchestra and Colin Davis, performanc-

es with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and with Amsterdam’s Royal Concert-

gebouw Orchestra, a series of concerts in Spain and Portugal with the Mahler

Chamber Orchestra, and performances in Japan with the Hagen Quartet and with

soprano Magdalena Kožená across Europe. Ms. Uchida was featured in the Am-

sterdam Concertgebouw’s Carte Blanche series, with the same programs also form-

ing the core of series in Cologne and London. In addition, she was the focus of a

Carnegie Hall “Perspectives” series titled Mitsuko Uchida: Vienna Revisited. In

February 2010, she performed all fi ve Beethoven piano concertos with conductor

Simon Rattle during a month-long residency with the Berlin Philharmonic.

Mitsuko Uchida records exclusively for Decca. In April 2008, BBC Music

Magazine presented its Instrumentalist of the Year and Disc of the Year awards to Ms.

Uchida. Her recording of Schoenberg’s Piano Concerto with Pierre Boulez and Th e

Cleveland Orchestra won four awards, including one from Gramophone for best con-

certo recording. Th ree of her most recent recordings were recorded live at Severance

56 The Cleveland OrchestraGuest Artist

Hall with Th e Cleveland Orchestra and feature six of Mozart’s piano concertos. Th e

album featuring concertos Nos. 23 and 24 received a Grammy Award in 2011 for

“best instrumental soloist with an orchestra.” Plans call for her to record the concer-

tos on this weekend’s concerts with Th e Cleveland Orchestra in the future.

Ms. Uchida’s discography also includes the complete Mozart piano sona-

tas and piano concertos (with the English Chamber Orchestra), the complete

Schubert piano sonatas, Debussy’s Etudes, the fi ve Beethoven piano concer-

tos with Kurt Sanderling, a CD of Mozart violin sonatas with Mark Steinberg,

the song cycle Die Schöne Müllerin with Ian Bostridge for EMI, the fi nal fi ve

Beethoven piano sonatas, and a 2008 recording of Berg’s Chamber Concerto with

the Ensemble Intercontemporain, Pierre Boulez, and Christian Tetzlaff .

Mitsuko Uchida has demonstrated a long-standing commitment to aiding

the development of young musicians and is a trustee of the Borletti-Buitoni Trust.

She is also co-director, with Richard Goode, of the Marlboro Music Festival in

Vermont. In June 2009, she was made a Dame Commander of the Order of the

British Empire.

Mitsuko Uchida will sign compact discs after the concerts on Thursday and Friday evenings in the Lerner Lobby at the Cleveland Orchestra Store on the ground fl oor of Severance Hall. A selection of her albums areavailable for sale through the Cleveland Orchestra Store.

Legacy & Planned Giving


Meet Nancy Dotson Cleveland Orchestra Heritage Society member, former State Chair of the Blossom Women’s Committee, and Heritage Society radio ambassador on WCLV

When did you begin attending Cleveland Orchestra concerts?Dick and I have lived in the area for 33 years and have

been attending concerts for most of those years.

What is your favorite concert experiencewith The Cleveland Orchestra?

Without a doubt, we will never forget the concert at Sever-

ance Hall several years ago with Sir Colin Davis and Mit-

suko Uchida and the Mozart Piano Concerto. Sitting in the

dress circle and seeing the interaction of these two icons and

Th e Cleveland Orchestra is something I will never forget.

What is your favorite memory of The Cleve-land Orchestra or Blossom Festival?

Dick and I have so many wonderful memories of Blossom

and Severance Hall. Living in Hudson and only 20 minutes from Blossom,

our summer revolves around the lyrical weekend evenings at Blossom. Sitting on

the Lawn with a glass of wine under the stars is our idea of a perfect date! Meeting

various members of Th e Cleveland Orchestra at the summer Gourmet Matinee

Luncheons or the Orchestra Picnic sponsored by the Blossom Women’s Committee

have also been special treats.

What reason do you suggest when extending an invitation to join the Heritage Society?

It is a very special privilege to have Th e Cleveland Orchestra so readily accessible

and convenient to attend. It is for these reasons that we made a decision to include

the Orchestra in our estate planning several years ago. Leaving a legacy for future

generations to enjoy this music and for the musicians to carry on the music is some-

thing we are happy we can do.

The Cleveland Orchestra helps celebrate the seasons and special events throughout the year. This past October, the season’s fi rst Family Concert featured the third annual “Halloween Spooktacular!” including costumes onstage and a special audience costume contest.


The Cleveland OrchestraCenter for Future AudiencesTHE CLE VE L AND ORCHE STRA’s Center for Future Audiences was estab-

lished to fund programs to develop new generations of audiences for Cleve-

land Orch estra concerts in Northeast Ohio. Th e Center was created in 2010

with a $20 million lead endowment gift from the Maltz Family Foundation.

Center-funded programs focus on addressing economic and geographic bar-

riers to attending Cleveland Orch estra concerts at Severance Hall and Blos-

som Music Center. Programs include

research, introductory off ers, targeted

discounts, student ticket programs,

and integrated use of new technolo-

gies. Th e goal is to create one of the

youngest audiences of any symphony

orchestra in the country. For addition-

al information about these plans and

programs, call us at 216-231-7464.

The Cleveland Orchestra’s catalog of recordings

continues to grow. The newest DVD features Bruckner’s

Eighth Symphony recorded live at Severance Hall under

the direction of Music Director Franz Welser-Möst in 2010

and released in May 2011. And, released in

2012, Dvořák’s opera Rusalka on CD, recorded

live at the Salzburg Festival. Writing of the

Rusalka performances, the reviewer for

London’s Sunday Times praised the perform -

ance as “the most spellbinding account

of Dvořák’s miraculous score I have ever

heard, either in the theatre or on record.

. . . I doubt this music can be better played than by the

Clevelanders, the most ‘European’ of the American or-

chestras, with wind and brass soloists to die for and a

string sound of superlative warmth and sensitivity.”

Other recordings released in recent years

include two under the baton of Pierre Boulez

and a third album of Mozart piano concertos

with Mitsuko Uchida, whose fi rst Cleveland

Orchestra Mozart album won a Grammy Award

in 2011.

H A I L E D A S O N E O F the world’s most

beautiful concert halls, Severance Hall

has been home to Th e Cleveland Or-

chestra since its opening on February 5,

1931. Aft er that fi rst concert, a Cleve-

land newspaper editorial stated: “We

believe that Mr. Severance intended

to build a temple to music, and not a

temple to wealth; and we believe it is his

intention that all music lovers should be

welcome there.” John Long Severance

(president of the Musical Arts Associa-

tion, 1921-1936) and his wife, Elisabeth,

donated most of the funds necessary to

erect this magnifi cent building. De-

signed by Walker & Weeks, its elegant

Georgian exterior was constructed to

harmonize with the classical architec-

ture of other prominent buildings in

the University Circle area. Th e interior

of the building refl ects a combination

of design styles, including Art Deco,

Egyptian Revival, Classicism, and Mod-

ernism. An extensive renovation, resto-

ration, and expansion of the facility was

completed in January 2000. In addition

to serving as the home of Th e Cleveland

Orchestra for concerts and rehearsals,

the building is rented by a wide variety

of local organizations and private citi-

zens for performances, meetings, and

gala events each year.

In 1717, England’s King George was suf-

fering in the polls. His political advisors

suggested that he do something big to

get the people behind him. They came up

with the idea of a summer boating party

on the Thames, for which Handel wrote the

music. Arguably the most popular piece of

Baroque music today, Water Music makes

fashionable use of the dance forms popular

at the time, combining festivity and finesse.

Carl Orff’s joyous Carmina Burana bursts forth

like a boisterous street festival — filled with

great music, marvelous mayhem, and delightful

merriment. This modern-day Canterbury Tales

comes complete with lusty hymns to spring-

time, animated drinking songs, and a swan’s

anguishingly ironic farewell to life (on a barbe-

cue spit!). The evening opens with a concerto

by J.S. Bach, for oboe d’amore.
