Variations on a Theme by J. Haydn in B-flat major, Op. 56b (1873)JOHANNES BRAHMSBorn May 7, 1833, in Hamburg, GermanyDied April 3, 1897, in Vienna

Approximate length: 18 minutes

For Brahms, variations were the route into symphonic composition. He composeda series of variation sets for piano in his 20s, and seems to have had theorchestra in mind for his Variations on a Theme by J. Haydn in B-flat major. Itwas composed for two pianos in 1873, then orchestrated that same summer.The keyboard version, however, remains a treasure of the repertoire.

The “Haydn“ theme (probably not actually by Haydn, scholars now say) is thesort of tune that appealed to Brahms: its five-bar phrases give it the irregularshape that he liked in Hungarian music, and he doubtless appreciated itshearty, masculine key of B-flat major, straightforward harmony, simplemelodic motion up and down the scale, and wealth of melodic details thatcould be developed as variations.

Brahms introduces the “Haydn“ theme exactly as he found it, a tune intwo-part song form with each part repeated plus an unusual coda that reinforcesthe tonic chord of B-flat major. The coda ends with five repeated chords, andthese last five iterations become the foundation for the first variation’sswirling figures. Seven more variations follow, leading to the triumphantFinale, itself a set of mini-variations over a repeating ground bass.

Ragtime alla turca (2008)GREG ANDERSONBorn September 28, 1981, in St. Paul, MinnesotaELIZABETH JOY ROEBorn September 18, 1981, in Chicago, Illinois

Approximate length: 5 minutes

Mozart’s tuneful and exotic Rondo alla turca, the conclusion of his Sonata inA major, K.331, is one of the composer’s greatest hits, and Anderson & Roe’smadcap take on it amplifies the piece’s infectious energy. In the midst of thispiece’s many fantastical complications, the wide fluctuations of tempo—from insanely fast to lugubrious and back again—give it something of the airof one of Brahms’s Hungarian Dances.

Mostly Mozart Festival I Words and Music

The Marriage of FigaroBy Diane Fahey

If only real life were so vivid, however confusing:from far-off, lots of dazzle and noise and speed…Closer in, mouths laugh, shout, kiss—butterfly shapescollide with passions aflutter, or part with mirroreddoubleness. Constantly, new things are about to happen,reversals wait in the wings, except when—closer still—spotlit interludes of pure feeling set forth dilemma,infolded outcome, like a tarot card.

At the finale,threads of love and illusion weave a mandala of sound,with everyone chastened, heartened, eager to go on.But such hard work! It must be the music that keeps them cheerful; even Where are the Happy Times?buoyed my spirit for weeks, an echo deep in the mind.Then, too, they have the consolation of dignity:the Count gets, not a custard pie, but the Countess,Figaro’s doubts are healed by Susannah’s faith,with Cherubino saved from polymorphous perversity…Reborn unions litter the stage like happy endings:Eros will have his day now Thanatos the trickster’s been sent packing—until tomorrow’s matinée.

Classical music of the late 18th century wasn’t always a cheerfulbustle of notes, but this program of works by the prominentcomposers of the period shows that it was certainly a favoritemood of the time. Mozart’s opera Le nozze di Figaro is a comedyfull of intrigue, plot twists, and subversion of the master–servantrelationship. With its irregularly shaped themes and unpredictableturns, the opera’s overture is a genial introduction to a worldturned upside down.

Haydn’s Cello Concerto in C major was lost for nearly 200 yearsbefore being discovered in Prague’s National Museum in 1961. Ithas since become one of the composer’s most popular worksthanks to its tunefulness and grace, a touch of introspectioninspired by the cello itself, and a busy Finale generated from justone theme.

After its mysterious introduction, Beethoven’s Fourth Symphonyis a mostly sunny work that came to him more easily than did hisother symphonies. It is full of the novel ideas and startling twiststhat came to make Beethoven’s music so distinctly his.

Overture to Le nozze di Figaro, K.492 (1786)WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZARTBorn January 27, 1756, in SalzburgDied December 5, 1791, in Vienna

Approximate length: 4 minutes

Beaumarchais’s The Crazy Day, or The Marriage of Figaro was one of themost talked-about plays of 1784; harassed by official censors for its insolentattitude toward the upper classes, it evoked in performance not thewinds of revolution but the gales of laughter from plebeian and aristocratalike. Its whirlwind plot mingled romance, farce, intrigue, and satire withdevilish ingenuity. Itching to make his name in Italian opera in Vienna,Mozart could hardly wait to set it to music.

Mozart’s “crazy day“ opens with a theme in seven bars instead of theusual eight, followed by a lusty tune that is ten bars long. In this music,as in the household of Count Almaviva, everything starts off out of balance.Order is partially restored in what is technically a sonata form without adevelopment section, but is effectively a single dizzy swirl of eighth notesthat sweeps us happily to the exhilarating coda.

Cello Concerto in C major, Hob. VIIb:1 (c. 1761–65)JOSEPH HAYDNBorn March 31, 1732, in Rohrau, AustriaDied May 31, 1809, in Vienna

Approximate length: 24 minutes

Unlike Mozart and Beethoven, Haydn was a competent player of nearlyevery instrument but a virtuoso at none. His orchestra at the Esterházycourt, however, included some star performers, and it seems to haveamused Haydn to compose music that showcased their skills. The CelloConcerto in C major appears on an early list of his compositions that hemade in 1765, but was lost for nearly two centuries until a Czech scholardiscovered the performing parts in the National Museum in Prague.Today it’s hard to believe that this familiar favorite had never been heardin public until its Prague premiere in May 1962.

Haydn’s composition of music this suave, tender, and melodious after themid-1780s would later be cited as evidence of Mozart’s influence on hisstyle. However, since Mozart was less than ten years old and had nevermet Haydn when this concerto was written, we must look elsewhere forinfluences: the personality of the cello itself, the liquid Italian vocal style

Mostly Mozart Festival I Notes on the Program

that also shaped Mozart’s music, and Haydn’s distinctly “modern“ attitudetoward the concerto form during an era when the memory of Vivaldi andHandel was still fresh. As in a Baroque concerto, the first movement movesthrough a wide range of keys, spending much of its middle part in the minor;unlike a Baroque concerto, the opening tutti comprises several distinctthemes shared by orchestra and soloist thereafter.

The Adagio begins with a melodic motion from C to F that gives this openingtheme a familial resemblance to that of the previous movement. The cello’smelancholy side appears in a substantial minor-key middle section with bothmelody and accompaniment subtly derived from the first theme.

The Finale’s opening phrase is also all in the family, finding yet another routefrom C to F and back again. The sonata-form movement is nearly monothematic,with just a hint of a more expansive, lyrical phrase amid the bustle.

Symphony No. 4 in B-flat major, Op. 60 (1806)LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVENBorn December 16, 1770, in Bonn, GermanyDied March 26, 1827, in Vienna

Approximate length: 34 minutes

In 1803 or 1804, Beethovenbegan jotting ideas for aforceful symphony in Cminor that would have beenhis fourth, but work on itwas interrupted while hespent a year and a halfcomposing his opera Fidelio.After that herculean effort, anentirely different symphony—a jovial giant in B-flat major—more or less sprang from his pen to become theFourth. The other long-gestating piece in C minor would go on to become theFifth Symphony.

Though written with apparent ease, the Fourth Symphony was no trivial pursuit.It is full of novel ideas that helped give later works their unpredictability andtherefore their distinctly Beethoven sound. The movement from darkness tolight in the Fourth’s opening anticipates such passages as the transition fromscherzo to finale in the Fifth Symphony and the storm scene in the Sixth. Infact, to those who have the Fifth ringing in their memory, the first movementof the Fourth may sound more like a finale than an opening argument.

Did you know?

Though Beethoven promised theFifth Symphony to Count Franz vonOppersdorf, the composer sent himthe previously published Fourthwith a dedication. The Count wasnot amused.

Mostly Mozart Festival I Notes on the Program

The extroverted first movement has little room for darker subdominant har-monies, so the Adagio in E-flat major, the subdominant key of B-flat major,appears like a calm, benign visitor from another world. With the Mozartianmelancholy of the solo clarinet in a subsidiary theme and the transformationof the delicate main theme into despondent, crushing fortissimo chords,however, the movement becomes remarkably volatile in mood. A rocking fig-ure provides an affirmative heartbeat throughout, most literally when the tim-pani plays alone just before the end.

The theme of the Allegro vivace resembles that of the first movement but isinverted (moving up instead of down) and given a new rhythmic charge bysyncopated accents that make the 3/4 bar feel like a 2/4 bar. The compara-tively mellow Un poco meno allegro for winds erases the rhythmic irregularitybut must endure some sniping from the violins and other agitating accompa-niments.

The finale begins with a very fast introduction full of whirring sixteenth notes,chords marching off in various directions, and a snatch of melody here andthere. The tonic key of B-flat major is finally affirmed, fortissimo, and thepropulsive conclusion begins. Eventually, the music takes on a dynamicmomentum, making the hesitant, teasing coda agonizingly effective.
