Perspectives from the Executive Director
7Severance Hall 2013-14 7
February 2014
This month, we salute conductor Pierre Boulez for his half-century
of service to The Cleveland Orchestra. It is with great pleasure that
we look back on his fi ve decades with this institution, to his contri-
butions toward this Orchestra’s musical excellence and innovation,
and proudly announce him as the recipient of this season’s Distin-
guished Service Award (see pages 32-33).
The Cleveland Orchestra will always honor the traditions and history that have brought us
to today. Yet, with our unwavering dedication to musical excellence, we are also committed
to embracing changing times and changing circumstances, to approach each new decade
in its newness, complexity, and opportunity. With your input, we are exploring new pro-
grams to better serve and engage the great people of Northeast Ohio, including:
Young Professionals. In January, we launched The Circle, a new opportunity for young
professionals to strengthen their relationship with The Cleveland Orchestra. The pro-
gram brings music lovers aged 21 to 40 together for concerts and networking events,
enabling them to connect with musicians, the music, and colleagues in the arts and
business communities. The enthusiasm of these young people represents the future,
and we are pleased to welcome them and host this new social forum.
Severance Hall Facelift. In recognition of changing times and changing needs, this
past fall the Orchestra’s Board of Trustees assembled a taskforce to take an intensive
look at options for enhancing the concert experience for Cleveland Orchestra attendees.
The world has changed since Severance Hall’s renovation in 2000, and we want to ensure
that we are supporting world-class performances with a world-class venue and services.
After surveying audience members and making an assessment in comparison to other
local facilities and national concert halls, we are now creating a roadmap for improve-
ments with the biggest positive impacts for our patrons. I look forward to sharing rec-
ommendations, and asking for your further counsel and advice, in the coming year.
Open Dialog. Also this season, we began a series of “Coff ee and Conversation” gather-
ings to bring long-term supporters and concertgoers to Severance Hall and give them
a transparent look at — and opportunity to ask candid questions about — the Orches-
tra’s ideas for change. The dialogue between donors, board members, musicians, and
ticket buyers, and the feedback that has emerged from these events, is helping to shape
the Orchestra’s plans for a second century of service to the people of Northeast Ohio.
Young Audiences. Alongside these newest initiatives, we continue to pursue our goal
of building the youngest audience of any orchestra. Under 18s Free — which off ers a
free ticket to select concerts for a young person with every paying adult — has been so
successful at attracting families to Orch estra performances in Northeast Ohio that we
have expanded it to Miami during this season’s four-week residency in Florida. Young
people make up 20% of Orchestra audiences this season, the result of the continued
popularity of Under 18s Free, along with the Orchestra’s Student Advantage program
and Frequent Fan Card. Their passion for music represents our future and our ongoing
commitment to serve Northeast Ohio.

I N P E R F O R M A N C E S A T H O M E and around the globe, Th e Cleveland Orch-
estra remains Northeast Ohio’s most visible international ambassador and one

winter home at Severance Hall and at each summer’s Blossom Music Festi-
val, in residencies from Miami to Vienna, and on tour around the world, Th e
Cleveland Orchestra sets standards of artistic excellence, creative program-
ming, and active community engagement. With the 2013-14 season, Franz
Welser-Möst enters his twelft h year leading the ensemble, with a commitment
extending to the Orchestra’s centennial in 2018. Th is artistic partnership con-
tinues to move the ensemble forward through a series of new and ongoing ini-
tiatives, including:
expansion of education and community programs in Northeast Ohio to fea-
ture music as an integral and regular part of everyday life for more people, in-
cluding the launch this past spring of an “At Home” neighborhood residency
program that brings Th e Cleveland Orchestra to a single neighborhood or town

PHOTO OF THE WEEK follow the Orchestra on Facebook for more archival photos
for an intensive week of special activities and performances, as well as the broaden-
ing of the Orchestra’s ongoing education and community engagement initiatives to
include Make Music!, a program of active and participatory experience and learning;
the establishment of residencies around the world, fostering creative artistic
growth and an expanded fi nancial base — including ongoing residencies
at the Vienna Musik verein (the fi rst of its kind by an American orchestra)
and in Florida under the name Cleveland Orch estra Miami (featuring an
annual series of concerts and community activities, coupled with educational
presentations and collaborations based on successful programs pioneered at home
in Cleveland);
creative new artistic collaborations with arts institutions in Northeast Ohio,
including staged works, concerts, and chamber music performances;
a concentrated and successful eff ort to develop future generations of audiences
for Cleveland Orchestra concerts in Northeast Ohio, through research, targeted
discounts, social media promotion, and student ticket programs, with demonstrat-
ed results at Severance Hall and Blossom;
a variety of new concert off erings (including KeyBank Fridays@7 and Celebri-
ty Series at Severance Hall as well as movie, themed, and family presentations at
Blossom) to play more music for more people;
the return of ballet as a regular part of the Orchestra’s presentations, featuring on-
going collaborations with Chicago’s Joff rey Ballet;
continuing and expanded educational partnerships with schools, colleges, and
universities across Northeast Ohio and beyond;
concert tours from coast to coast in the United States, including regular appear-
ances at Carnegie Hall;
ongoing recording activities, including new releases under the direction of Franz
Welser-Möst, Mitsuko Uchida, and Pierre Boulez, as well as a series of acclaimed
DVD concert presentations of symphonies by Anton Bruckner led by Welser-Möst.
Th e Cleveland Orchestra was founded in 1918 by a group of local citizens intent
on creating an ensemble worthy of joining America’s ranks of major symphony or-
chestras. 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 inti-
mate 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 Mu-
sic Center, one of the most beautiful and acoustically admired outdoor concert facili-
ties in the United States.

Franz Welser-Möst Music Director Kelvin Smith Family Endowed Chair The Cleveland Orchestra
T H E 2 01 3 -1 4 S E A S O N marks Franz Welser-Möst’s
twelft h 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 di-
rection, the Orchestra is acclaimed for its continu-
ing artistic excellence, is extending and enhancing
its community programming at home in Northeast
Ohio, is presented in a series of ongoing residencies
in the United States and Europe, continues its his-
toric championship of new composers through com-
missions and premieres, and has re-established itself
as an important operatic ensemble. Concurrently with his post in Cleveland, Mr.
Welser-Möst is general music director of the Vienna State Opera.
With a committed focus on music education in Northeast Ohio, Franz
Welser-Möst has taken Th e Cleveland Orchestra back into public schools with per-
formances in collaboration with the Cleveland Metropolitan School District. Mr.
Welser-Möst’s championship of community music-making expands upon his active
participation in educational programs and collaborative programming, including
the Cleveland Orchestra Youth Orchestra and partnerships with music conservato-
ries, universities, and other arts institutions 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 regular new 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

Music Director
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 and in
May 2014 brings an innovative made-for-Cleveland production of
Leoš Janáček’s Th e Cunning Little Vixen to Northeast Ohio.
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 Isol-
de, a new production of Wagner’s Ring cycle with stage director
Sven-Eric Bechtolf, and critically praised new productions of Hindemith’s Cardillac
and Janáček’s Katya Kabanova and From the House of the Dead. During the 2013-
14 season, his Vienna schedule includes a new production of Puccini’s Th e Girl of
the Golden West, as well as performances of Tristan and Isolde, Verdi’s Don Carlo,
Beethoven’s Fidelio, and Richard Strauss’s Ariadne auf Naxos and Der Rosenkavalier.
Mr. Welser-Möst also maintains an ongoing relationship with the Vienna Phil-
harmonic. Recent performances with the Philharmonic include appearances in con-
cert at La Scala Milan, at New York’s Carnegie Hall, and in opera presentations at the
Salzburg Festival. He also led the Philharmonic’s New Year’s Day concert, viewed by
telecast in seventy countries worldwide in 2011 and again in 2013. Across a decade-
long tenure with the Zurich Opera, culminating in three seasons as general music di-
rector (2005-08), Mr. Welser-Möst led the company in more than 40 new productions.
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 re-
cordings of live performances of fi ve of Bruckner’s symphonies, presented in three
acoustically 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.

Cleveland Orchestra News
2013 European Festivals Tour draws praise for Welser-Möst, Cleveland Orchestra, and Chorus The following are excerpted from press commentary about the Orchestra’s per-
formances during its European Tour and Vienna Residency, November 8-22:

er-
“The handshakes from Franz Welser-Möst said it all. In acknowledging
the principals of the Cleveland Orchestra Friday night at Vienna’s Musik-
verein, the music director did what most in attendance probably wished
they could do themselves: personally thank the group for three superb
performances in a row. Not once in their concerts Wednesday through
Friday was it apparent that the group had been traveling abroad
nearly three weeks. No, here at the end of their 2013 European Tour,
the artists played with new focus and energy, and made sure Vienna
enjoyed the fruits of their long musical labor. The main thing appar-
ent, frankly, was that the orchestra had been playing Beethoven and
Shostakovich nonstop for weeks, and knew their six scores inside
and out. Here as nowhere else, the artists transcended the numer-
ous pages on their stands, and simply took advantage of the Musikverein’s leg-
endary acoustics. No less clear was that the audience recognized expertise, and liked what
it heard. . . . The response each night was hugely enthusiastic, giving Welser-Möst cause
to repeatedly acknowledge individual players and the ensemble as a whole. On Friday, he
even went so far as to jog into the bass section.”
—The Plain Dealer, November 23, 2013
“Franz Welser-Möst’s interpretations are anything but sober, yet clear
in their formal articulation. It is not the conceited omniscience of
someone who pretends to understand the world. His concerts reveal
an earth-bound assurance, free from spectacle, aff ectation, and senti-
mentality. He reads the score and interprets what’s there. Self-denial
in favor of the message of the artwork — this penchant for directness
is benefi cial, even if it is certainly not always successful. Franz Welser-
Möst has long been able to concentrate on works that really suit him,
working on pieces he likes to say are ‘close to his heart’.”
—Concerti, November 2013
“The second evening of their visit to Frankfurt started luxuriously:
The Cleveland Orchestra’s own chorus performed Beethoven’s Mass in
C major at the Alte Oper, joined of course by the orchestra itself from
Northeast Ohio, which was the focus of two concerts in the city. The
Cleveland Orchestra . . . juxtaposed works by Beethoven with the Sixth
and Tenth Symphonies by Dmitri Shostakovich. The symbiosis between the orchestra and
the chorus was unsurpassable. Under Austrian conductor Franz Welser-Möst, who has
been music director in the city on Lake Erie since 2002, Beethoven’s lyrical, literal setting
of the Latin Mass came across lean, subtle, and transparent, despite all the opulence in the
performing forces. The balance between singers and instrumentalists was perfect in the
soft and mild passages.” —Allgemeine Zeitung, November 12, 2013

Orchestra announces “At Home” neighborhood residency in Lakewood for May 2014
The Cleveland Orches-
tra and Lakewood have an-
nounced a new partnership
to present the Orchestra’s
next “At Home” neighborhood residency in
May 2014. The centerpiece of this week of ac-
tivities, education programs, and public per-
formances will be a free Cleveland Orchestra
concert at the Civic Auditorium in Lakewood
on Saturday evening, May 24. The concert
will be recorded for a delayed broadcast on
WVIZ/PBS ideastream, and a radio broadcast
on WCLV 104.9. The television broadcast will
also feature a segment about the Orchestra’s
performances, collaborations, and events in
Lakewood.
“ Creating a grassroots opportunity for
Lakewood to experience perhaps the greatest
orchestra in the world at a very personal level
is a cultural experience that we will remember
for years to come,” commented Lakewood
Mayor Michael P. Summers in announcing the
collaboration. “Our increasingly vibrant com-
mercial corridors and neighborhoods will be
made ever-more-so by the music and the musi-
cians.” Ian Andrews, executive director of Lake-
woodAlive, Lakewood’s nonprofi t economic
development organization, added, “Lakewood
is known for its commitment to the arts. The Or-
chestra’s events will strengthen this commitment
and showcase the city’s great quality of life, local
organizations, restaurants, schools, and business-
es that make our community special.”
The Cleveland Orchestra introduced its
“At Home” neighborhood residency program
in May 2013 with a week of performances and
activities in the Gordon Square community
of Cleveland. Events include free perfor-
mances by Orchestra musicians and educa-
tion programs for children, students, and
families. Details of The Cleveland Orchestra’s
Lakewood neighborhood residency will be
announced in March 2014, along with infor-
mation about acquiring tickets for the free
Cleveland Orchestra concerts.

The Cleveland Orchestra
DistinguishedService AwardThe Musical Arts Association is proud to honor Pierre Boulez as the 2013-14 recipient of the Distinguished Service Award, recognizing extraordinary service to The Cleveland Orchestra.
33Severance Hall 2013-14 33
February 2014
In recognition: Pierre BoulezPIE RRE BOULE Z — conductor, composer, teacher, and author — is among the most
distinguished musicians active in the world today. Over the course of nearly fi ft y years,
he has led Th e Cleveland Orchestra in over 220 performances at home and on tour. He
has been invited — and has chosen — to return to Cleveland again and again, for re-
cordings and concerts, and in friendship. In half a century of service to Cleveland, he
has created a peerless legacy of great music, new music, and unrivalled music-making.
Pierre Boulez fi rst led Th e Cleveland Orchestra in 1965 at the invitation of mu-
sic director George Szell, making his American professional conducting debut at
Severance Hall. He was appointed the Orchestra’s fi rst principal guest conductor in
1969, and served as musical advisor during the two seasons following Szell’s death.
He has returned regularly to lead performances with the Orchestra, and in fi ve de-
cades of concerts here has presented works spanning six centuries — by composers
as varied as Gabrieli, Rameau, J. S. Bach, and Schubert to Debussy, Janáček, Dalbavie,
and Kyburz. Beyond Northeast Ohio, he has conducted Th e Cleveland Orchestra on
tour in Tokyo and Paris, and at New York’s Carnegie Hall.
Mr. Boulez has earned widespread respect as a champion of contemporary mu-
sic. Beginning with the American premiere of his own Figures, Doubles, Prismes in
1965, Boulez has conducted more than thirty Cleveland premieres with Th e Cleve-
land Orchestra, including the world premiere, in 2000, of Marc-André Dalbavie’s
Concertate il suono. In 1986, he conducted the Orchestra in a special two-week series
of “Great Composers of Our Time” concerts featuring his own music. Th e presenta-
tion of the 2009 Kyoto Prize to Boulez reaffi rmed the importance of his compositions
and activities as teacher, conductor, and advocate of new music.
Pierre Boulez’s recordings with Th e Cleveland Orchestra present a brilliant
and clearly focused vision of his role as a conductor. Th ese recordings have won
fi ve Grammy Awards (with works by Berlioz, Debussy, and Stravinsky). Th e Cleve-
land Orchestra can also be heard within Boulez’s recorded cycle of Mahler’s nine
symphonies, performing Nos. 4 and 7. And most recently, Boulez recorded the Ada-
gio from Mahler’s Symphony No. 10 and Mahler’s Des Knaben Wunderhorn with
Cleveland, as well as performances of both Ravel piano concertos, at Severance Hall.
Born in France in 1925, Pierre Boulez studied mathematics before turning full-
time to music as his life’s vocation. During the ensuing decades of his distinguished
career, he has held important positions with performing ensembles and teaching
institutions in North America and Europe. In 2010, he was invited to celebrate his
eighty-fi ft h birthday with a series of concerts with the orchestras of Cleveland, Chi-
cago, and New York. In 2012, he was inducted into the Gramophone Hall of Fame.
With heartfelt thanks for his long and devoted work with this Orchestra, for
his ongoing contributions to contemporary classical music, and for his dedication to
the highest standards of artistic excellence, the Musical Arts Association is pleased to
present Pierre Boulez with its highest award for distinguished service.

37Severance Hall 2013-14
T H I S W E E K E N D ’ S C O N C E R T S present works by two titans of classical
music — Gustav Mahler and Johannes Brahms. Written when each com-
poser was still young, their mature musical styles are nevertheless clearly
earmarked and already on display.
Th e program begins with a discarded movement from Mahler’s fi rst
symphony. Named for blooms of the fl owery
sort, its nearly static quality reminds us of
some of Mahler’s dazzling later adagios.
Mahler’s early Songs of a Wayfarer tell
a diff erent sort of story, of love’s journey
through jealousy and misery to peace. Cre-
ated in response to a youthful romance, these
songs showcase Mahler’s great capacity for
encapsulating emotions into, and articulating
texts within, music.
Aft er intermission, we come to Brahms.
Here, the composer’s own work — original-
ly for piano quartet from 1861 — has been
somewhat magically transformed, nearly
eight decades later. As orchestrated by Ar-
nold Schoenberg, it is sometimes jokingly
(but aptly) called Brahms’s Fift h Symphony.
Filled with Brahmsian melody and har-
monies, there is here instrumentation that
surprises in unexpected and warm-hearted
ways. Schoenberg, one of the 20th century’s great avant garde composers,
was also one of its master orchestrators. Showing the wisdom of fully un-
derstanding rules before you break them, Schoenberg’s own modern music
was fi rmly rooted in the classics. His refurbishment of Brahms’s youthful
quartet is masterful. —Eric Sellen

Blumine, Symphonic Movementcomposed 1884-1888
M A H L E R ’ S F I R S T S Y M P H O N Y is well established today
as a regular item in the symphonic repertoire, but in its early
incarnations it was not well received and not oft en performed.
It took Mahler a long time to fi nd its fi nal form and it took the
public a long time to recognize its originality and power.
Composition of this work was spread over a period of four
years, 1884-1888, during which Mahler was leading a hectic life
as opera conductor fi rst in Kassel, then in Prague, with little
time for composition. Blumine was originally part of this vast
fi ve-movement symphonic poem, fi rst performed aft er Mahler
had taken up a position as opera conductor in Budapest in 1889.
Response was cool. He did not repeat it there, and aft er two years
he moved on from Budapest to Hamburg, where he gave it a
second performance in October 1893. Th is time it was billed
as “Titan, tone poem in symphonic form,” with an extensive
program that divided the work into two sections. Part One
(three movements) was “From the days of youth: fl ower, fruit,
and thorn pieces.” Part Two (two movements) was “Commedia
humana,” covering an immense emotional range, in Mahler’s
very personal fashion.
Blumine was the second movement in this scheme, a fan-
ciful title derived from Blume, the German word for “fl ower.”
It originated in the incidental music he had written in 1884 for
a play, Th e Trumpeter from Säkkingen, adapted from a popular
humorous poem by Joseph von Scheff el. It was a straightfor-
ward and simple slow movement placed between the big open-
ing movement and the scherzo, and making a contrast with the
much more complex slow movement based on a funeral march
in the second half.
By the time that Mahler found a publisher for the sym-
phony in 1899, it was reduced to four movements, bereft of its
elaborate program, and titled simply Symphony No. 1. Th e
Blumine movement disappeared, to be discovered by Donald
Mitchell in the Osborn Collection at Yale University in 1966.
It was part of a copy of the fi ve-movement score bought by
Mrs. James M. Osborn from the family of Jenny Feld, a friend
of Mahler from his student days in Vienna.
Most conductors perform the First Symphony without the
Blumine movement, although many writers have argued that

About the Music
39Severance Hall 2013-14 About the Music
its inclusion enhances the structural balance of the work. (No
one expects a Mahler symphony to be short, in any case.)
Th e music is, for Mahler, lightly scored and thinly textured,
perhaps because of its origin as music for an undersized theater
orchestra. Th e main tune, disarmingly naïve in character, is
given to the Säkkingen trumpeter, with barely a hint of chro-
matic infl exion. Th e movement’s tempo is marked andante,
and its pulse and clear rhythmic outlines remain unchanged
throughout. A certain prominence is given to the harp, espe-
cially at the end. Flowers, for Mahler, are apparently free of
complexity and stress.—Hugh Macdonald © 2014
Hugh Macdonald is Avis H. Blewett Professor Emeritus of Music at Washington University in St. Louis and is a noted authority on French music. He has written books on Beethoven, Berlioz, and Scriabin.
Mahler’s fi rst sketches of
what was to become his First
Symphony date to 1884, al-
though much of the detailed
composition occurred in the
fi rst half of 1888. The fi rst per-
formance of the completed
fi ve-movement work, under
the name “Symphonic Poem
in Two Parts,” took place in
November 1889 in Budapest
under the composer’s direc-
tion. A second performance
took place in October 1893
in Hamburg, titled “Titan,
Tone-Poem in the Form of a
Symphony.” At these initial
performances, what is now
known as the “Blumine”
movement was the second,
or middle movement, in the
symphony’s fi rst half. In 1896,
Mahler discarded this move-
ment and performed the
remaining four movements
as his “Symphony No. 1.” The
symphony was published
in 1907-08. The “Blumine”
movement was unpublished
and largely unknown until
1966, when a manuscript was
discovered at the Yale Univer-
sity Library. Its fi rst modern
performance was given in
June 1967 at the Aldeburgh
Festival in England, conduct-
ed by Benjamin Britten.
“Blumine” runs just over
5 minutes in performance.
Mahler scored it for 2 fl utes, 2
oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons,
4 horns, trumpet, timpani,
harp, and strings.
The Cleveland Orchestra
has performed this movement
only a few times. Eugene
Ormandy led the fi rst such
performances in November
1971. It was last presented in
November 1999, conducted
by Jahja Ling.

Songs of a Wayfarercomposed 1884-1885
M A H L E R S P E N T the greater part of his working life as a con-
ductor of opera, yet he never composed an opera himself, and
he concentrated instead on songs and symphonies, virtually to
the exclusion of everything else. Furthermore, his songs and
symphonies overlap, many of the songs being orchestrated and
symphonic in construction, many of his symphonic movements
being settings of words.
In 1884, when he began the four Lieder eines fahrenden
Gesellen [“Songs of a Wayfarer”], he was 24, and his only sub-
stantial work to date was the cantata Das klagende Lied [“Song of
Lamentation”], in which we recognize the fi rst signs of a mature
individual style. He had not yet embarked on any symphonies,
although the First, which borrowed some substantial material
from these songs, was evidently taking shape in his mind.
Th ese four songs commemorate the joy and pain of a
love aff air with Johanna Richter, a singer at the Kassel court
opera where Mahler was then assistant conductor. He wrote
the poems himself, with a number of ideas borrowed from Des
Knaben Wunderhorn [“Th e Youth’s Magic Horn”], the famous
anthology of real and faked German folk poetry published in
1805 to which Mahler turned many times for inspiration. Th e
romantic imagery of fl owers, fi elds, birdsong, linden trees, and
lost love, familiar from Schubert and the whole tradition of Ger-
man artsongs or Lieder, is here sharpened by the compulsive,
neurotic edge in Mahler’s personality.
Th e sparse scoring and bare lines are already characteris-
tic, a far cry from the Wagnerian sounds that were everywhere
fashionable at the time. Th e freedom of form and tonality in
these four songs is also very bold — none of them ends in the
key in which it begins.
Wenn mein Schatz Hochzeit macht [“When My Darling
Is Married”]. Th e fi rst song fi nds the wayfarer despondent at
the impending marriage of his (or her) beloved to someone
else. Birds are heard welcoming the spring, but despondency
returns in a morbid fascination in self-consumed misery.
Ging heut’ Morgen übers Feld [“I Went Th is Morning
Across the Fields”]. Th e second song introduces the transpar-
ently innocent theme of the First Symphony’s opening move-
ment. Th e world is bright, happiness is all around. Only at the

very end, in a phrase of haunting beauty, does the wayfarer admit
that the poem’s author cannot share it.
Ich hab’ ein glühend Messer [“I Have a Gleaming Knife”].
Th e third song is a nightmare. Th e brass instruments batter on
the wayfarer’s skull as the poet dreams of a knife plunged deep as
a mortal wound. Sometimes the dream brightens and to a vision of
the beloved’s blue eyes and blonde hair, only to be startled awake by
the beloved’s mocking laughter; the poem ends longing for death.
Die zwei blauen Augen von meinem Schatz [“Th e Two Blue
Eyes of my Beloved”]. Finally, against the solemn tread of a funeral
march constantly distorted by an extra beat, the wayfarer realizes
that the blue eyes are lost and gone, and that only grief remains.
Th en over the harp’s gentle accompaniment, the words sing of the
linden tree, under which the poet last found repose. But the fi nal
bars turn to the minor, a touch of irony more telling than any words.
—Hugh Macdonald © 2014
Mahler composed his Songs
of a Wayfarer mostly in 1884,
with a few revisions in 1885.
He wrote his own texts, though
one of the songs was based
on a poem from Des Knaben
Wunderhorn [“The Youth’s
Magic Horn”], a collection of
German folk poems. The songs
were originally for voice and pi-
ano; it is not exactly clear when
Mahler orchestrated them. The
fi rst public performance was
given in Berlin in March 1896,
with baritone Anton Sistermans
as the soloist; Mahler con-
ducted the Berlin Philharmonic
Orchestra.
These four songs together
run about 15 minutes in perfor-
mance. Mahler scored them for
an orchestra of 3 fl utes (third
doubling piccolo), 2 oboes
(second doubling english horn),
2 clarinets and bass clarinet, 2
bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trum-
pets, 3 trombones, timpani,
percussion (triangle, cymbals,
glockenspiel, tam-tam, bass
drum), harp, and strings, plus
vocal soloist.
The Cleveland Orchestra
fi rst presented the four songs of
Mahler’s Songs of a Wayfarer
as a complete cycle in 1958, at
concerts conducted by George
Szell and with Dietrich Fischer-
Dieskau as the soloist. More
recently, Bo Skovhus sang them
at Blossom in 2001 under the
direction of Andrew Davis.

“Is it not a beautiful world?!
Dong, ding! Beautiful ringing!
How I love the world! Hey-ha!”
And then, with the sunshine
the world began to glitter;

Flower and bird, big and small!
“Good day,

Now will my happiness also begin?

I went out into the silent night
stealing across the dark heath.
No one bid me farewell,
Goodbye! Adieu! Farewell!
My companions are love and sorrow!
By the road stands a linden tree,
where I fi nally once more found
peaceful slumber!
Under the linden tree,
whose white fl owers
snowed down all around me,
Th ere I could not know, how life continued,
for everything, everything was good again!
Everything! Everything, love and sorrow

Piano Quartet in G minor, Opus 25composed 1861 by Johannes Brahms, transcribed for orchestra 1937 by Arnold Schoenberg
I N T H E Y E A R 1 9 0 1 , the 25-year-old Arnold Schoenberg
moved from Vienna to Berlin to work in a cabaret theater that
specialized in operetta with a serious message. Although he
had had no formal musical training, he had picked up the es-
sentials of orchestration from playing the cello in an amateur
orchestra conducted by his friend Alexander Zemlinsky. And
so he was entrusted with the mindless task of orchestrating
operettas and cabaret songs in great numbers.
From this hackwork, he developed a taste for orchestra-
tion, which led him later to arrange a number of Bach’s organ
works for full orchestra. Schoenberg accomplished the orches-
tration of Brahms’s Piano Quartet No. 1 in 1937 when he was
living in Los Angeles. Having left Germany in 1933 when Hit-
ler came to power, Schoenberg took a job in Boston for a brief
period, but suff ered badly from ill-health, as he always did in
cold climates. So he moved to Los Angeles, where he taught at
the University of Southern California and then at UCLA, and
although he was settled and employed, he found it hard to get
his compositions played. Encouraged by Otto Klemperer, with
whom he had worked in Berlin and who was then conductor
of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, he wrote the orchestration
of the Brahms Quartet between May and September 1937, and
it was performed by Klemperer and the LA Philharmonic the
following March.
A critic on the San Francisco Chronicle, Alfred Franken-
stein, wrote to Schoenberg with some questions about the work,
and received the following reply: “My reasons: 1. I like the piece.
2. It is seldom played. 3. It is always very badly played, because
the better the pianist, the louder he plays and you hear nothing
from the strings. I wanted once to hear everything, and this I
achieved.”
Schoenberg admitted, in his mostly excellent English, that
there were “heavy problems.” In fact, the orchestration is mas-
terly, given that Schoenberg was not trying to reproduce Brahms’s
orchestral style. He was instead writing for an enlarged modern
orchestra, including such instruments as E-fl at clarinet, glock-
enspiel, and xylophone, which Brahms would never have used.
Even a cymbal clash sounds foreign in Brahms’s world. But the
original piano quartet (for violin, viola, cello, and piano) is writ-

ten with thick textures that Brahms learned to avoid in his two
later works for the same combination of instruments. Th e third
movement calls for such constant double-stopping from the viola
(playing two notes at once, with the bow on two strings) that at
least one extra instrument oft en seems to be in use.
In general, but by no means throughout, Brahms’s piano
part is assigned to the winds, with the string parts remaining
with the strings. But the palette of mixed colors, and the idi-
omatic writing for all instruments, is very impressive. Schoen-
berg once referred to his arrangement, no doubt facetiously, as
“Brahms’s Fift h Symphony.”
It is typical of Brahms to set out his main theme, without
introduction or accompaniment, as a bare melodic line at the
very outset, as if announcing this as a serious symphonic move-
ment in full sonata form. Th e second movement has a scur-
rying rhythm with a constantly repeated note as a distinctive
element, and its middle section is a notch faster. If this second
movement is regarded as the scherzo (Brahms did not name it
thus), the third movement is the slow movement, although it has
grandeur, not intimacy — and the central, quicker part of the
movement has a military stamp perfectly suited to Schoenberg’s
splendid realization for full orchestra. Th e last movement is the
famous “Rondo alla zingarese,” one of Brahms’s ventures into
the music of the Hungarian gypsies. Th e original is, of course,
a brilliant movement, but Schoenberg goes to town with some
virtuoso writing for the orchestra, with full percussion.
The original Quartet was composed in 1861 during a two-
year spell that Brahms spent in his native city of Hamburg. A year
later, he visited Vienna and a performance there with Brahms
himself at the piano made such an impression on the Viennese
that he moved there permanently, knowing that he would have
a sympathetic public in a city with a deep musical tradition.
Born in Vienna in 1874, Schoenberg grew up with a profound
reverence for Brahms’s music, and it was partly in defi ance of
the modernists of the inter-war years, such as Stravinsky and
Hindemith, who disdained Brahms, that he felt impelled to make
his music better known, even in the form of an arrangement.
Klemperer told the story that aft er one of the rehearsals
someone said to him: “I don’t know why people say Schoenberg
doesn’t write melodies. Th is piece is full of melody.”

Student attendance continuesto grow at Severance Hall
As Th e Cleveland Orchestra’s 2013-14 season has gotten underway, more Stu-
dent Advantage Members, Frequent Fan Card holders, Student Ambassadors,
and student groups are contributing to the continued success of these programs.
Th e Orchestra’s ongoing Student Advantage Program provides opportu-
nities for students to attend concerts at Severance Hall and Blossom through
discounted ticket off ers. Membership is free to join and rewards members
with discounted ticket purchases. For this season, a record 6,000 students
have joined.
Th e Student Frequent Fan Card was introduced a year ago with great suc-
cess. Th e program is continuing to grow, with the number of Frequent Fan
Card holders tripling so far this season over 2012-13. Priced at $50, the Fan
Card off ers students unlimited single tickets (one ticket per card holder) to
weekly classical subscription concerts all season long.
Th e Student Ambassador program is also growing. Th ese young volun-
teers help to promote the Orchestra’s concert off erings and student programs
directly on campuses across Northeast Ohio.
Also this year, a group of Student Marketing Advisors was formed to help
the Orchestra incorporate student feedback and insight to programs, and give
local marketing majors a chance to work closely with the Orchestra’s sales team.
In addition, attendance through Student Group sales are also bringing in
more and more young people to Cleveland Orchestra concerts. From as far as
Toronto and Nashville, these groups make up an integral part of the overall suc-
cess toward generating participation and interest among young people.
All of these programs are supported by Th e Cleveland Orchestra’s Center
for Future Audiences, through the Alexander and Sarah Cutler Fund for Student
Audiences. Th e Center for Future Audiences was created with a $20 million lead
endowment gift from the Maltz Family Foundation to develop new generations
of audiences for Cleveland Orchestra concerts in Northeast Ohio.

CASABLANCA T H E S T O R Y
Th e movie Casablanca was premiered in New York City on November 26, 1942.
During World War II, many Europeans fl ee-
ing from Nazi Germany sought refuge in
America. To get to the U.S., one route led
through the city of Casablanca in Morocco,
at the time a French protectorate and in the
early years of the war under control of the
French Vichy government that was aligned
with the Nazi occupation of France. Once in
Casablanca, refugees still had to obtain exit
visas, which were not easy to come by. Th e
time is December 1941. Th e hottest spot in
all of Casablanca is Rick’s Cafe, operated by
Rick Blaine, an American expatriate, who for
some reason can’t go home. Two German cou-
riers are killed and the documents they were
carrying are taken. One of Rick’s regulars,
Ugarte, entrusts to Rick some letters of tran-
sit, giving the bearer free passage to Portugal.
Before he can sell them, however, Ugarte is
arrested for killing the couriers — but Rick
has possession of the transit letters. Captain
Renault, the Chief of Police, who is neutral
in his political views, informs Rick that Vic-
tor Laszlo, a resistance leader from Czecho-
slovakia, is in Casablanca — and that Laszlo
will do anything to get an exit visa. Renault
has been instructed by Major Strasser of the
Gestapo to keep Laszlo in Casablanca. Laszlo
goes to Rick’s for the pre-arranged meeting to
buy the letters from Ugarte. With Ugarte now
under arrest, Laszlo has to fi nd another way.
Laszlo’s wife, Ilsa Lund, is with him. Ilsa be-
came entangled with Rick in Paris, and when
they meet again some of Rick’s emotional
wounds reopen. Rick’s stonecold heart is, in
fact, a defense against Ilsa’s having left him.
Laszlo learns that Rick has the transit letters,
but refuses to give them to him — because
Rick doesn’t “stick his neck out for anyone.”
Laszlo voices fervent French patriotism, and
Strasser has the club closed. Laszlo is later
arrested for a minor off ense. Rick convinc-
es Renault to release Laszlo in exchange for
trapping the Frenchman with a more serious
charge. Rick doublecrosses Renault and ar-
ranges for Laszlo to escape with Ilsa. Renault
and Rick come to terms, helping one another
in wartime circumstances.

A NEW PRODUCTION FEATURING PROJECTED ANIMATION AND LIVE ACTION, SUNG IN CZECH WITH ENGLISH SUPERTITLES
THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA conducted by Franz Welser-Möst
Don’t miss this unique, made-for-Cleveland opera presentation! Staged at Severance Hall
with an international cast and innovative, original animated projections. While plumbing the
depths of human experience, The Cunning Little Vixen tells a charmingly bittersweet tale
of love, peril, freedom, and family. The opera’s title character, portrayed by Czech
soprano Martina Janková, wends her way through life’s cycles of learning and
danger, love and happiness. Janáček’s score mixes lyrical symphonic writing
with the songful serenity and energetic pulse of Moravian folk music.
This Cleveland Orchestra opera presentation
is supported in part by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation
and by the National Endowment for the Arts

The Cleveland Orchestra’s catalog of recordings
continues to grow. The newest DVD features Bruckner’s
Fourth Symphony recorded live in the Abbey of St. Flo-
rian in Austria under the direction of Music Director Franz
Welser-Möst in 2012 and released in May 2013.
“A great orchestra, a Bruckner expert. . . . Five
out of fi ve stars,” declared Austria’s Kurier
newspaper. Released in 2012, Dvořák’s opera
Rusalka on CD, recorded live at the Salzburg
Festival, elicited the reviewer for London’s
Sunday Times to praise the perform ance as
“the most spellbinding account of Dvořák’s
miraculous score I have ever heard, either in the the-
atre or on record. . . . I doubt this music can be better
played than by the Clevelanders, the most ‘European’
of the American orchestras, with wind and brass solo-
ists 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.
Visit the Cleveland Orchestra Store for
the latest and best Cleveland Orchestra
recordings and DVDs.

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.

Sunday March 30 at 3:00 p.m.THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRAChristoph von Dohnányi, conductor
Robert Schumann’s symphonies are
intensely personal ideals of what classical
music can represent — life’s joys and tra-
vails, momentary sorrow and uplifting joy.
Their glowing lyricism, drama, and evocative
atmosphere defi ned the style of what a Ro-
mantic symphony can be. Renowned for his
interpretations of this tremendously imagi-
native composer, Christoph von Dohnányi
returns for these all-Schumann concerts.
