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

THE 2011-1 2 SEASON marks Franz Welser-Möst’s

tenth year as Music Director of Th e Cleveland Or-

chestra, with a long-term commitment extending to

the Orchestra’s centennial in 2018. Under his direc-

tion, the Orchestra is acclaimed for its continuing

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 pre-

mieres, and has re-established itself as an important

operatic ensemble. 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 Or-

chestra Youth Orchestra and partnerships with music conservatories and universi-

ties across Northeast Ohio.

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

lished an ongoing biennial residency in Vienna at the famed Musikverein con-

cert hall and at the Lucerne Festival in Switzerland. 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 Miami Residency in Florida and

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

Under Franz Welser-Möst’s direction, Th e Cleveland Orchestra has per-

formed thirteen world and fi ft een United States premieres. Th rough the Roche

Commissions project, he and the Orchestra have premiered works by Harrison

Birtwistle, Chen Yi, Hanspeter Kyburz, George Benjamin, and Toshio Hosokawa

in partnership with the Lucerne Festival and Carnegie Hall. In addition, the Dan-

iel R. Lewis Young Composer Fellow program has brought new voices to the rep-

ertoire, including Marc-André Dalbavie, Matthias Pintscher, Susan Botti, Julian

tenure in Cleveland, re-establishing the Orchestra as an im-

portant operatic ensemble. Following six opera-in-concert

presentations, 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 leads concert performances

of Strauss’s Salome at Severance Hall and at Carnegie Hall dur-

ing the 2011-12 season.

Franz Welser-Möst became General Music Director of

the Vienna State Opera with the 2010-11 season. His long

partnership with the company has included acclaimed perfor-

mances of Tristan and Isolde, a new production of Wagner’s Ring cycle with stage

director Sven-Eric Bechtolf, and, in his fi rst season in the post, critically praised

new productions of Hindemith’s Cardillac and Janáček’s Katya Kabanova. During

the 2011-12 season, he continues his survey of the operas of Janáček with a

new production of From the House of the Dead and also leads a new production

of Verdi’s Don Carlo.

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. 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 four Bruckner symphonies, presented in three

accoustically distinctive venues: Symphony No. 5 in the Abbey of St. Florian in

Austria, Symphony No. 9 in Vienna’s Musikverein, and Symphonies Nos. 7 and 8

at 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 Brueg-

gergosman. DVD releases on the EMI label have included Mr. Welser-Möst leading

Zurich Opera productions of Th e Marriage of Figaro, Così fan tutte, Don Giovanni,

Der Rosenkavalier, La Bohème, 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, honorary

membership in the Vienna Singverein, appointment as an Academician of the Euro-

pean Academy of Yuste, a Gold Medal from the Upper Austrian government for his

work as a cultural ambassador, and the Kilenyi Medal from the Bruckner Society of

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

lished in a German edition in 2007.

Doing the Most Good


Over the course of 2011, we’ve seen regular news reports about the challenges faced by orchestras in cities around the country. As Detroit, Denver, Honolulu, Louisville, Philadelphia, San An-tonio, Syracuse, and others have struggled, many people have asked me about how we’re doing here in Cleveland.

What’s going on? As entertainment, information, and cultural options proliferate, membership and subscription rates are in

decline for many leisure pursuits, including orchestras. Endowment and pension funds are compromised by market downturns, and persistent economic uncertain-ty dampens philanthropy. To survive In America today, orchestras must change.

For us in Cleveland, the regional economy, corporate landscape, and local popula-tion growth have been challenged for years. But The Cleveland Orchestra is one of very few symphony orchestras with the willingness and the proven ability to change. That’s why, in covering the story last spring, the Toronto Star reported “. . . Cleveland is giving fellow orchestras lessons in staying alive.”

The Cleveland Orchestra began to change in earnest more than fi ve years ago, with residency programs outside Cleveland, artistic initiatives such as ballet and opera, new audience development programs, accelerated community activities, frequent benefi t events, and more aggressive fundraising.

Our changes are driving revenue growth, especially philanthropy in Cleveland and operating revenues outside Cleveland. Yet even with record annual revenues, we still remain signifi cantly under-endowed. On June 30, 2011, The Cleveland Orchestra endowment stood at $129 million, down from an all-time high of $157 million in the year 2000. For us to be fi nancially healthy today would require a $300 million en-dowment, in keeping with other orchestras of our scope, scale, and quality. Without it, we have an unsustainable structural defi cit that threatens the Orchestra’s survival.

What must we do? We must stay true to our core purpose of serving the art of music at the highest levels of excellence. We must be even more innovative and relevant to the communities we serve. And, above all else, we must increase our Endowment Fund by successfully soliciting transformational philanthropy from everyone who cares about the community, loves The Cleveland Orchestra, and be-lieves in the power of great music to change lives.

As we launch Franz’s tenth season, we are grateful for our passionate concertgoers, for the generous annual gifts from individuals, foundations, and corporations, and for ongoing support from our county and state arts agencies, all among the most supportive anywhere. We are blessed with worldwide recognition for artistic pre-eminence and innovation — a credit to a great music director, fantastic musicians, a dedicated staff, and inspiring Trustee leadership.

I look forward to seeing you throughout the season and to discussing your partici-pation in the effort to build our all-important Endowment Fund.

Franz Welser-Möstgiven “Key to the City”by Cleveland Mayorat Opening Night Gala

The Cleveland Orchestra’s OpeningNight Gala at Severance Hall on October1 featured a special surprise moment forFranz Welser-Möst, when Cleveland May-or Frank Jackson presented the Orches-tra’s conductor with a ceremonial “key tothe city” (above). The award was givento recognize the value of Franz’s workin extending and enhancing Cleveland’sreputation internationally. The gala evening, presented underthe leadership of gala chair Norma Lernerand gala corporate chair Beth Mooney,marked the official start of Franz Welser-Möst’s tenth season as music director. Theevent, which included an hour-long con-cert by The Cleveland Orchestra, raised$650,000. Proceeds from the evening willbe used to create an education fund inFranz’s name, honoring his initiatives onbehalf of music education. Of Ravel’s Boléro from the evening’sconcert, The Plain Dealer wrote: “Prov-ing he holds the key to Ravel as well asCleveland, Welser-Möst offered a hard-hitting performance, one that began withnear-silent tapping . . . and ended with acataclysmic punch.”

Youth Orchestra preparesfor the new season

The Cleveland Orchestra Youth Or-chestra held its annual overnight retreat in early September. The retreat at Hiram House Camp in Moreland Hills featured rehearsals, special clinic sessions, and a chance to get acquainted through social activities. The group’s fi rst Severance Hall concert is on Sunday, November 20, with music director James Feddeck con-ducting.

Bruckner Society of Americapresents Franz Welser-Möstwith special award

The Bruckner Society of America chose Franz Welser-Möst to receive the Society’s Julio Kilenyi Medal of Honor for his “understanding, advocacy, and dedica-tion to Bruckner’s music.” The award was fi rst given in 1933 to Arturo Toscanini, Serge Koussevitsky, and Bruno Walter. Since that time, the Society has continued to present it to conductors, scholars, and musicologists who have helped to further the understanding and appreciation of Anton Bruckner’s life and work. The award was presented on

July 13 during a rehearsal at Avery Fisher Hall in

New York. In addition to four DVD record-ings of Bruckner symphonies made with The Cleveland

Orch estra in the past four years, Welser-Möst

has recorded Bruckner symphonies with the London

Philharmonic and the Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra. He leads The Cleveland Orchestra in performances of Bruckner’s Fourth this season at Severance Hall, on April 26, 27, and 28, 2012.

Family Concerts begin withHalloween Spooktacular!on October 30

The Cleveland Orch estra’s 2011-12 Family Concert Series, for young people ages 7 and older, begins with a special Halloween Spooktacular! concert on Sunday afternoon, October 30. Families are invited to wear Halloween costumes and come to Severance Hall to be chilled,

thrilled, and fi lled with the sounds of memorable mysterious mystical magi-cal macabre music for this deliciously spooky con-cert. Carl Topilow leads the Cleveland Institute of Music Orchestra for this

concert, stepping in for The Cleveland Or-chestra (who will be on tour). In addition to the concert, each of the season’s four Family Concerts features free pre-concert activities and post-concert treats. The activities, starting one hour before each concert, include Instrument Discovery, where children can try various instruments. After each performance, families are invited to enjoy a free treat compliments of series sponsor Giant Eagle. The series features three more con-certs after Halloween — Scenes from Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker (with Academy Trainees from The Joffrey Ballet) in De-cember, Carnival of the Animals in April, and Beethoven Lives Upstairs (with Clas-sical Kids Live!) in May. Family Concert Series subscriptions and individual tickets are now available at clevelandorchestra.com or thru the Severance Hall Ticket Offi ce.

Silence is golden

New Cleveland Orchestrarecording features live performance of “Rusalka”from Salzburg Festival

The Cleveland Orchestra’s newestrecording is a live audio recording ofDvořák’s opera Rusalka, performed under

Franz Welser-Möst’s direc-tion as part of the 2008Salzburg Festival. Thealbum on the Orfeo la-bel was released at theend of September andcomes in CD format or asa music download. TheCD version is availablefrom the Cleveland Or-

chestra Store at Severance Hall. The August 2008 performancesof Rusalka marked the first time that The Cleveland Orchestra played fromthe orchestra pit for an opera productionat the Salzburg Festival. The five soldout Rusalka performances were part of a Fes-tival Residency that also included Welser-Möst conducting the Orchestra in threedifferent concert programs. Prior to thestaged Salzburg performances, Welser-Möst and the Orchestra presented in-con-cert performances of Rusalka in Clevelandin June 2008. The reviewer for London’s SundayTimes praised the Salzburg production,calling it “the most spellbinding accountof Dvořák’s miraculous score I have everheard, either in the theatre or on record.. . . I doubt this music can be betterplayed than by the Clevelanders, the most‘European’ of the American orchestras,with wind and brass soloists to die forand a string sound of superlative warmthand sensitivity.” The London Sunday Telegraph review said, “the playing of theCleveland Orchestra under Franz Welser-Möst is sumptuously beautiful and exqui-sitely detailed, allowing Dvořák’s operaticmasterpiece to weave a strong spell at itsfirst-ever Salzburg showing.”

Cleveland Orchestra’s Distinguished Service Award to be given to Richard Weiner at concert on October 13

The Cleveland Orchestra’s sixteethannual Distinguished Service Award willbe presented to former principal percus-sionist Richard Weiner on October 13, atthe start of next week’s Thursday eveningconcert at Severance Hall. The award,created in 1997, honors a person or or-ganization that has provided continuingexemplary service to theMusical Arts Association,the non-profit parent organization that oper-ates The Cleveland Or-chestra, Severance Hall,and Blossom Festival. Richard Weinerwas appointed to TheCleveland Orchestra in1963 by George Szell, who appointed himprincipal percussionist in 1968. Weinerserved as principal percussionist of the Or-chestra for 43 years up to his retirementin August this year, leading the sectionlonger than anyone else in the Orchestra’shistory. He also served on a variety ofCleveland Orchestra committees over thedecades, including the Negotiation Com-mittee (which he chaired for many years),Artistic Advisory Committee, PensionCommittee, Travel Committee, and theSeverance Hall Renovation Committee. In announcing Weiner’s selectionin August, Executive Director Gary Han-son said, “Richard Weiner has served TheCleveland Orchestra with distinction overhis 48-year tenure. As principal percussion-ist, Rich has exemplified the Orchestra’s devotion to the highest standards of artis-tic excellence. He has also played a vitalrole off-stage representing the musicians’interests during more than four decadesof institutional growth. Everyone in theOrchestra family owes Rich a debt of grati-tude for his selfless and dedicated service.”

Greetings,

On behalf of my fellow Ohioans, let me offer my warmest congratulations to Franz Welser-Möst on the auspicious beginning of his tenth season leading the great Cleveland Orchestra. Our citizens are rightly proud of Franz and the Orchestra, who carry the name of Ohio around the world with such distinction as the state’s most visible and active ambassadors. We are fortunate to benefit from an organization that contributes so richly to our quality of life, whether by lifting us up with transporting artistry or by engaging us as students at every educational level, from children through adults.

As the Orchestra launches a new season and students every-where begin a new school year, we gratefully acknowledge the generosity and determination of Franz Welser-Möst on behalf of outstanding educational programs that serve our communities and enhance our lives. The whole world looks up to The Cleveland Orchestra, and Ohioans are proud to claim it as our own. Sincerely,

John R. KasichGovernor

From the Governor

In his review of the Orchestra’s per-formance of Bruckner’s Symphony No.7, Allan Kozinn of the New York Times called Franz’s reading “commanding.” Zachary Lewis of the Plain Dealerreported that “the performances . . .under music director Franz Welser-Möstwere little short of magnificent.” New York Times critic Steve Smithconcluded his review of Bruckner’s NinthSymphony with this description: “. . . aspellbinding account that showed Mr.Welser-Möst and the orchestra in theirfinest light.” Alex Ross from the New Yorker maga-zine tweeted: “The Cleveland Orchestra hasbeen playing brilliantly all week, but today’sconcert — Adams Doctor Atomic Symphony and Bruckner 9 — left me awestruck.”

I N T R O D U C I N G T H E P R O G R A M

Starting Out By Looking Back

AT T H I S W E E K ’ S C O N C E R T S , early in a new season, we hear two great

composers pausing to contemplate the German musical tradition — one

an old man looking backward, the other a young man

looking to widen his musical horizon.

In 1944, the 80-year-old Richard Strauss believed

he was looking at the cataclysmic end — the Götter-

dämmerung — of German culture, between the cor-

rupting effects of more than a decade of the Nazi regime

and the ongoing wartime destruction effected by Allied

bombers. He composed the string piece Metamorphosen

as both tribute and elegy to that tradition, incorporat-

ing a particularly meaningful theme by Beethoven into

his new work.

In 1782, Wolfgang Mozart was a newlywed in

Vienna, hoping to introduce his bride as a singer to

his hometown of Salzburg while also boosting his

composing skills. How better than to compose a

setting of the Mass, using what he’d just learned

from hearing and studying the music of J.S. Bach

and G.F. Handel, and to include soprano solos for

his beloved Constanze? He had composed Masses before, for his former

employer, the Prince-Archbishop of Salzburg, but this one would be big-

ger and better.

In the end, Mozart completed only a few movements of his plan,

and left sketches and partial scores for others, which later scholars have

turned into performable music. The completed movements were a suc-

cess in Salzburg, and the original-and-reconstructed Mass in C minor,

K427, though still not a complete setting of the Mass, is nevertheless a

treasury of beautiful music in 18th-century German and Italian styles.

DURING WORLD WAR I I and its aft ermath, the discomforts of

age, the privations of war, and the loss of many dear people and

things combined to test Richard Strauss’s usually buoyant attitude

toward life. To save him from depression, Strauss’s friends and

his son, Franz, urged him to resume composing. New works

began to trickle from him again, including the Symphony for

Winds, the Oboe Concerto, and the Duet-Concertino, all in a

light, neoclassical vein. And also pieces in a more searching,

Romantic style, including Metamorphosen and the Last Songs

with orchestra. When Strauss wryly referred to these works as

“wrist exercises,” his friends were gratifi ed to hear a spark of

the old Straussian ironic wit.

In our present time, when the death of one innocent ci-

vilian in military action makes the front page of the New York

Times, we may lose sight of the enormous dimensions of death

and destruction in World War II. Between 1943 and 1945, mil-

lions of people died in war actions, and entire cultural institu-

tions such as the Munich National Th eater, the Dresden Opera

House, and the Vienna State Opera House, were destroyed by

bombs. Th ese buildings meant to their people what Severance

Hall and Carnegie Hall mean to music lovers today. Richard

Strauss had heard the music of the past masters in these halls

and had, in fact, made his own brilliant career in them. During

the war, hearing news of this destruction at age 80, he wrote “I

am beside myself. . . . Th ere can be no consolation.”

A few bars of music Strauss wrote in mourning for the

bombing of Munich grew, a few months later, into the long

elegy he titled Metamorphosen. He pointedly indicated that it

was “for 23 solo strings,” not “for string orchestra” — in other

words, a piece of chamber music, with the intimacy of expres-

sion which that implies. Th e Swiss conductor Paul Sacher, who

commissioned so much important new music of the 1930s and

1940s, gave the premiere with his Zurich Chamber Orchestra in

January 1946. Strauss himself conducted the fi nal rehearsal.

Th e work’s title has inspired much speculation. Meta-

morphosis means “changing shape,” and the work’s themes are

certainly subjected to constant change and stirred together in

counterpoint, producing ever-shift ing harmonies that seem

like a ray of sunlight one moment and deep gloom the next.

Where Inspiration HappensTM

GILMOUR ACADEMY


One also thinks of W. B. Yeats’s poem “Easter 1916,” about the

rebellion in Ireland: “All changed, changed utterly: / A terrible

beauty is born.” Yet it is hard to fi nd anything “born” in Meta-

morphosen, which the critic Alan Jeff erson called “possibly the

saddest piece ever written.”

In this piece, Strauss seems to be using the endlessly twist-

ing, unfurling idiom of Wagner to mourn the death of Wagner

and so much else in German culture in what he called “the most

terrible period in human history . . . the 12-year reign of bestiality,

ignorance, and anti-culture under the greatest animals.” Strauss’s

metamorphosis seems to be in reverse: the butterfl y turns it-

self into a destructive worm. Recent scholarship has traced

the inspiration of Metamorphosen not to Yeats, but to Goethe’s

poem “Niemand wird sich selber kennen” (“Nobody Will Ever

Know Himself ”), a dark and prophetic meditation on civilized

people’s capacity for evil.

As for the themes of this piece, there are hints and allusions

everywhere to masterpieces of German music, too fl eeting and

too many to describe here. One theme, however, stands out a

little from the rest. Th is is a brief descending scale, in a dot-

ted “snap” rhythm. It appears almost subliminally throughout

this long adagio, but near the end Strauss quotes it outright.

It is a phrase from the second-movement funeral march of

Beethoven’s Symphony No. 3 (“Eroica”), which that composer

originally wrote to honor Napoleon Bonaparte, then famously

tore up the title page when Napoleon declared himself Emperor.

And then Beethoven dedicated it instead “to the memory of a

great man.” It seems likely that Strauss felt he was composing

this music in memory of a great musical culture. Th ere is no

escaping the deep sadness of it.—David Wright © 2011

About the Music

piece in 1943, completing it in

early 1945 for a commission

from Paul Sacher. The world

on January 25, 1946, with the

Zurich Collegium Musicum

conducted by Sacher.

This work runs between

25 and 30 minutes in per-

T H E Y E A R 17 8 2 was full of life-changing events for Mozart.

Just the year before, he had fi nally made the commitment (over

his father Leopold’s objections) to leaving his hometown of

Salzburg to seek his fortune in the imperial capital, Vienna.

He was 25 then — pretty old for a musician trying to start a

career. He had already spent 20 years either touring European

cities in search of connections and recognition, or parked in

Salzburg, performing odd musical jobs for the local ruler, the

Prince-Archbishop, and he had little to show for it except a list

of ever-more-superb compositions.

But 1782 saw the highly successful premiere of Mozart’s

opera Th e Abduction from the Seraglio, which put him on the

musical map in Vienna. Th at August 4, Mozart married Con-

stanze Weber, an aff ectionate young woman and a passable

singer, who would be his loyal companion during the rest of

his short life — and a tireless champion of his music thereaft er.

Also that year, Joseph Haydn’s six string quartets, Opus 33, were

published, inspiring Mozart to begin composing six quartets

himself, in which he explored Haydn’s stylistic advances over

Mozart’s previous model, Johann Christian Bach. And last, but

not least, Mozart had eye-opening experiences with the works

of Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frideric Handel during

Sunday concerts in the home of Baron Gottfried van Swieten, a

former ambassador to Prussia and connoisseur of Baroque mu-

sic. Th e young composer, who had done plenty of dry exercises

in counterpoint under his father’s tutelage, now was having, as

his biographer Alfred Einstein writes, “his fi rst encounter with

a living polyphonic style.”

Authorities disagree about how lasting the eff ects of this

encounter were on Mozart’s development. Surely the splendid

fugue-style fi nale of the Symphony No. 41 of 1788 (“Jupiter”)

would not have taken that form without a thorough under-

standing of J. S. Bach. And we know that Mozart composed, or

at least began, many fugues during 1782, trying to master this

musical language. Always anxious to polish his bride’s image

with his family, Wolfgang wrote to his father that Constanze

loved to hear him play fugues, and had even tried her hand at

composing them.

I cannot write in verse, for I am no poet.

I cannot express my thoughts and feelings,

for I am no dancer. But I can do so by means

of sound, for I am a musician.

—W. A. Mozart, November 1777

‘‘

‘‘


Late in 1782, as Leopold and Wolfgang’s sister, Nan-

nerl, grew impatient for him to bring Constanze to Salzburg,

he wrote to them oft en, saying that teaching and performing

obligations were keeping him in Vienna. On January 4, 1783,

he reiterated, “I truly promised this to myself in my heart, and

hope to fulfi ll it. . . . As you know, however, circumstances have

frustrated our planned journey [to Salzburg]; but the score of

half a mass, which is lying here with the highest hopes, is proof

that I really made the promise.” Th e long-awaited visit fi nally

began the following July 29, and ended with a performance of

that “half a mass” — the still-fragmentary work we now know

as the Mass in C minor, K427 — with Constanze as soprano

soloist, in St. Peter’s Church on October 26. In a church liturgy

(unlike this weekend’s concert performances), the Mass could

not be celebrated incomplete, so presumably other music was

found to fi ll in the sections that Mozart hadn’t composed.

Th ere is no evidence that anyone commissioned a mass

from Mozart in 1782. Perhaps it’s true, as he implied in his let-

ter, that he wished to commemorate his marriage by presenting

a major new work in his hometown. More likely, the unfi nished

mass setting originated the same way as the unfi nished fugues,

as an exercise, an attempt by Mozart to get his arms around a

past musical form that was valuable and meaningful to him.

Th at form is the “cantata mass,” best known to audiences

of today (but probably not to van Swieten or Mozart) from

Bach’s Mass in B minor, that great compendium of all the ways

then available to set sacred words for solo singers and chorus.

Th e most obvious feature of a cantata mass is the way it splits

the Mass’s longer texts (especially the Credo) into many short

phrases, each set as a separate movement. Haydn and Beethoven

later composed masses in a more symphonic style, setting whole

texts into longer movements.

Two sections of the Mass in C minor come down to us

complete, in Mozart’s own handwriting. Th ese are the open-

ing Kyrie and the six brief movements of the Gloria. Aft er that,

questions about Mozart’s intentions multiply. He composed

only two movements of the Credo, “Credo” and “Et incarnatus

est,” and for these we have complete vocal parts but only some

indications of instrumentation. Th ere is also a score for wind

band of the Sanctus in his hand. Other materials in Mozart’s

hand are now lost, and to guess at them we have only a mis-

take-riddled copy score by Mozart’s contemporary P.M. Fischer,

choirmaster at a monastery in Augsburg. Th is was apparently done in haste

from a set of performers’ parts. Th is poor copy is how we know anything about

the Benedictus at all. Mozart did not set the concluding section of the Mass, Ag-

nus Dei for this Mass; Constanze later suggested to a publisher that, following a

custom of the time, the Kyrie be reprised, but with the words of the Agnus Dei.

Th e performances this weekend, however, conclude with the Benedictus.

Needless to say, the debate goes on over how to restore the movements

Mozart composed or sketched (as well as the idea of composing more move-

ments to complete the work, as Mozart’s pupil Süssmayr did for the unfi nished

Requiem of 1791.) Th e fi rst systematic attempt was made by Alois Schmitt in

1901, followed by the distinguished Haydn and Mozart scholar H.C. Robbins

Landon, who worked on the problem during the 1950s. Later editions include

one by Franz Beyer in 1989 and another by Robert Levin in 2005. Landon’s

reconstruction, published in 1956 and used for this weekend’s performances,

works a light touch with the material, fi lling in instrumental and choral parts

only as obviously necessary. Even so, as the ever-modest Landon writes in the

preface, “Th e performer should never feel obliged to follow the editor’s choice if

he thinks another reading preferable.”

And so, in this fragmentary yet painstakingly restored work, we hear

a brilliant, mature Mozart dealing with an antique form and style which, it’s

fair to say, he hasn’t yet fully made his own. But hear how brilliantly he “does”

J.S. Bach in the chorus “Jesu Christe” and the great fugue that fol-

lows, “Cum Sancto Spiritu.” And also his Handelian mode in the

sweeping style of choral writing, including echoes of the Hallelujah

Chorus in the Gloria.

Elsewhere, however, and especially in the vocal solos, Mozart

the Italian-trained young genius steps forward as . . . himself. He is

also present in the many felicities of scoring, for example the nativ-

ity scene of “Et incarnatus est,” so delicately scored for winds and

double bass, and wisely left alone by later restorer-orchestrators.

Mozart thought enough of this music to re-use portions of it

in his oratorio Davidde penitente, K469, in 1785. Perhaps he left the

Mass unfi nished because he sensed that its various materials would

never really hang together to form a coherent work. But thanks to

his eff orts, and to those of his wife, and a hasty friar in Augsburg,

and several conscientious latter-day scholars, we have much music

of disparate beauty to listen to and admire.

—David Wright © 2011

Mozart composed his Mass in C minor in

1782-83, apparently without completing

all of its movements. This music is almost

certainly the music that Mozart conducted at

St. Peter’s Church in Salzburg on October 26,

1783, although he probably augmented these

movements with other pieces in order to render

the complete mass text for that occasion. Some

of the vocal and instrumental parts were not

fully written out by Mozart, and have had to be

reconstructed by later editors.

In its incomplete form, which is how it is

most often presented in modern performance,

the C-minor Mass runs almost 60 minutes. The

score edited by H.C. Robbins Landon, used for

these performances, calls for an orchestra of

fl ute, 2 oboes, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets,

3 trombones, timpani, organ, and strings, plus a

quartet of vocal soloists and double chorus.

The Cleveland Orchestra fi rst performed mu-

sic from Mozart’s C-minor Mass in March 1956.

The entire work was given at Severance Hall in

November 1966, with Robert Shaw conducting

The Cleveland Orchestra, Chorus, and soloists.

The most recent Severance Hall performances

were conducted by Franz Welser-Möst in No-

vember 2008. Following this weekend’s perfor-

mances, the work will also be performed later

this autumn as part of The Cleveland Orchestra’s

2011 Vienna Musikverein Residency.

In January 2012, Th e Cleveland Orchestra and Franz Welser-Möst embark

on a three-week program of presenting the three solo concertos of Johannes

Brahms at Severance Hall, with violinist Lisa Batiashvili and pianist Yefi m

Bronfman. Th e mini-festival — featuring the Violin Concerto and both

Piano Concertos — reunites Welser-Möst and Bronfman, who performed to-

gether in Franz’s debut here as a guest conductor in 1993. More recently, they

performed together last year in a special outdoor concert with the Vienna

Philharmonic that was televised internationally and released on the Deutsche

Grammophon label.

“I’m really overwhelmed with excitement to play with Franz and

Th e Cleveland Orchestra,” says Bronfman. “Franz has always been a great

conductor, but he has also become such a great personality, with so much

knowledge. He has grown into a major fi gure in music.” Playing the Brahms

concertos is probably among “the greatest experiences I’ve ever had,” he con-

tinues. “Especially playing the second one, which is so majestic. Th ere is

Beethoven’s ‘Emperor’ Concerto, but maybe Brahms Two is also an Emperor.”

“From the very fi rst note,” says Bronfman, “you can tell this is a jour-

ney, that this requires a collaboration between the soloist and the orchestra

at all times. It’s always an exchange of ideas, back and forth. And the cello

solo is arguably the most famous in the repertoire. I cannot think of a better

orchestra than Cleveland to play with, for the chamber music character of the

Second Concerto.’’

Meet Robert Conrad Cleveland Orchestra Trustee, Heritage Society member, co-founder of classical radio station WCLV, and Heritage Society ambassador on WCLV

How many years have you been attending Orchestra concerts?

Jean and I have been attending since about 1962, the year

C.K. “Pat” Patrick and I co-founded WCLV.

Your favorite symphony?Sibelius Symphony No. 1

When did you start broadcasting The Cleveland Orchestra on WCLV?

We’ve been broadcasting concerts since 1965. Now it’s 2011,

and we’re still broadcasting Orchestra concerts as well as

streaming them live over the internet. WCLV will be cel-

ebrating its 50th anniversary in 2012, and I’ve been com-

mentator for what’s become the longest running continuous

orchestra broadcast series in the history of American radio!

And, in Bob’s own words, from his WCLV invitation to Orchestra lovers everywhere . . .

“Th is is Robert Conrad. As a Cleveland Orchestra Trustee and member of the

Orchestra’s Heritage Society, I’d like to invite you to join my wife, Jean, and me in

support of this wonderful Cleveland treasure. Th e Orchestra provides all of us with

world-class music right here in our hometown and represents Cleveland at its fi nest

throughout the world. And one of the ways that we support the Orchestra is through

a charitable gift annuity. A gift annuity allows us to make a generous gift and at the

same time receive income for life. Please join Jean and me, and the many other Heri-

tage Society members who have created a Cleveland Orchestra Gift Annuity.”

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, just released,

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-

H A I L E D A S O N E of 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.

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

Cleveland Orchestra has become one of the most sought-after performing

ensembles in the world. In concerts at its winter home at Severance Hall

and at each summer’s Blossom Festival, in residencies from Miami to Vi-

enna, and on tour around the world, The Cleveland Orchestra sets standards

of artistic excellence, creative programming, and community engagement.

The partnership with Franz Welser-Möst, now in its tenth season, and with a

commitment 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 ar-

tistic growth and an expanded financial base, including an ongoing resi-

dency at the Vienna Musikverein (the first of its kind by an American

orchestra);

an annual Miami Residency involving three weeks of concerts, commu-

nity activities, and educational presentations and collaborations;

concert tours from coast to coast in the United States, including regular

appearances at Carnegie Hall;

regular concert tours to Europe (including biennial residencies at the

Lucerne Festival) and Asia (including a residency at Tokyo’s Suntory Hall

in the autumn 2010);

ongoing recording activities, including new releases under the direction

of Franz Welser-Möst and Pierre Boulez as well as a series of DVD con-

cert presentations of four of Bruckner’s symphonies;

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

coln Center Festival;

an expanded offering of education and community programs with a

comprehensive approach designed to make music an integral and regular

part of everyday life in Northeast Ohio;

continuing and expanded educational partnerships with schools, col-

leges, and universities from across Northeast Ohio and in the Miami-Dade

community;

creative new artistic collaborations, including staged works and cham-

ber music performances, with arts institutions in Northeast Ohio and

across the Miami-Dade community;

the return of staged opera to Severance Hall with the presentation of ac-

claimed Zurich Opera productions of the three Mozart /Da Ponte operas;

an array of new concert offerings (including Fridays@7 and Celebrity Series at

Severance Hall as well as movie, themed, and family presentations at Blossom)

to make a wider variety of concerts more available and affordable;

the return of ballet to Blossom, with performances by The Joffrey Ballet.

The Cleveland Orchestra was founded in 1918 by a group of local citi-

zens intent on creating an ensemble worthy of joining America’s ranks of major

symphony orchestras. Over the ensuing decades, the Orchestra quickly grew

from a fine regional organization to being one of the most admired symphony

orchestras in the world. The opening of Severance Hall as the Orchestra’s home

in 1931 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 refine 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 fi rst conducted The Cleveland Orchestra in 1993 and became

music director with the 2002-03 season (above). His longterm commitment

with the Orchestra continues to the ensemble’s centennial in 2018.
