             Mozart is generally the poster child for classical-music prodigies. But while his early development was exceptional, it was not unique: The first half of tonight’s concert offers works by two composers who shared his astonishing early fluency.

            George Enescu (1881–1955) started playing the violin at the age of four and began composing a year later; he enrolled in the Vienna Conservatory at the age of seven. He soon blossomed into a wide-ranging musician, achieving success as a world-class violinist and conductor (he was considered as a replacement when Toscanini stepped down from the New York Philharmonic). In both capacities, he championed the music of Bach. He’s best remembered, though, as Romania’s most important composer.

            Enescu developed a distinctive style, rich in texture, seductive in melody, and resourceful in color, producing music that merged scrupulous attention to detail with the illusion of improvisatory sweep. It was rooted in a wide range of sources, from the baroque (Bach in particular) to late romanticism (Fauré was one of his teachers) and beyond. But perhaps the most profound influence on Enescu’s works was folk music. In his later works, the folk influence was distilled and personalized, as it was in the contemporary music of Bartók and Szymanowski. In contrast, his early Romanian Rhapsody No. 1 (1900) is a rollicking crowd-pleaser modeled on Liszt’s Hungarian Rhapsodies and, as conductor Larry Loh suggests, the dance music of the Strauss dynasty. Here, the reliance on pre-existing tunes is far more direct, even if we can’t identify them.

            It’s a cliché to say that the Romanian Rhapsodies are Enescu’s most popular works—and indeed, they once were, sufficiently so that the composer resented the way they eclipsed his more mature works. Nowadays, things have changed—the later music (especially the chamber music) has increasingly come to represent Enescu, especially on recordings. In fact, this will be the first time that Larry has conducted the Romanian Rhapsody No. 1. As it has ceased to be overplayed, the work has gained a freshness lost in its heyday—and Larry and the orchestra are excited to have this chance to share it with us.


Felix Mendelssohn            Felix Mendelssohn
(1809-1847), too, was an extraordinary prodigy. Like Enescu, he achieved fame as a stellar instrumentalist: When Clara Schumann was unable to perform due to illness, Mendelssohn stepped in and sight-read the first performance of Robert Schumann’s immensely difficult Piano Quintet. He was also a conductor, and he shared Enescu’s devotion to Bach. His performance of the St. Matthew Passion, in fact, was largely responsible for the Bach revival that has continued to this day. And he too is best remembered as a composer who started early: His vital string symphonies were composed in his early teens, and he had written two mature masterpieces (his Octet and his Midsummer Night’s Dream Overture) before he turned twenty. Unlike Enescu, though, he found his voice early and didn’t change dramatically as he grew older. His Violin Concerto was completed in 1844, just a few years before his early death; but it’s clearly written by the same composer who wrote the earlier masterpieces.

            On the surface, there’s little in common between the Romanian Rhapsody No. 1 and the Mendelssohn Concerto. Where the Enescu is rough-hewn, rhythmically exuberant, and dance-infused with a strong rural flavor, the Mendelssohn is suave and urbane; where the Enescu flaunts the orchestra’s capabilities, the Mendelssohn (despite the characteristically luminous orchestration) treats the orchestra as secondary, with the soloist taking the spotlight; and where the Enescu is firmly rooted in tradition, the Mendelssohn, as tonight’s soloist James Ehnes reminds us, is revolutionary. “We forget,” he says, “how weird it is that the violin comes in almost immediately with this main theme, You’re right in the middle of this incredibly turbulent and passionate music from the very start.” He also points to the continuity of the three movements: “The bit between the second and third movements: No one can decide whether it’s part of the third moment or part of the second.”

            Yet despite its departure from the conventions of its time, the Mendelssohn is not a provocative piece. Like the Enescu, it has an immediate communicative power—or, as James puts it, an “evergreen” quality. Indeed, he says, “If I had to play a piece every day, I would want it to be the Mendelssohn. It’s not about the quantity of love I feel for it—I don’t love it more than the Beethoven or the Brahms. Rather, in its nature, the Mendelssohn is always so fresh, so incredibly honest. Violinistically speaking, it’s always interesting: I can return to it over and over and over and always find joy and inspiration.”

      So what can we expect tonight? James is not one of those performers who self-consciously aims to “do something that has never been done before.” His goal is not to surprise us, but rather, he says, to “play the way that I believe in, the way I feel Mendelssohn asks me to.” And yet, paradoxically, what we’ll experience tonight is unpredictable, for two reasons—reasons that have more to do with us, as audience, than with James.

      First, James argues, our individual experiences of listening depend on our “frames of reference”—we each come with a different background, a different set of expectations. “So the only thing you can do as a performer is to be convinced of yourself: That’s going to affect each listener in a different way.” That’s part of “the fun of it.”

      In addition, James’s local interpretive decisions in a given performance depend on the audience’s reactions as he plays: “I can’t tell you in advance how I’m going to read the room. I might need to shift in a certain way, depending how things are going and how I feel. There are times in a live performance where you might feel you need to shock the audience into attention. Or you might feel that they are so rapt that you can afford to bring everybody into you by playing very, very, very softly. You can’t anticipate that.” That, too, is part of “the fun of it.”

            Modest Mussorgsky (1839-1881) also showed early talent, but nothing like the precocity of Enescu and Mendelssohn. And once he reached his maturity, he was burdened with a reputation as an artist who, despite his imagination, was deficient in terms of craft—a criticism never leveled at Enescu or Mendelssohn. Even Rimsky-Korsakov, one of his greatest advocates, referred to his “utter technical impotence.” Mussorgsky’s colleagues thus thought the best way to support his work was to refine it—and for years after his death, his music was heard primarily in editions that cleaned up his supposed faults. Only later did his nonconformity come to be appreciated (especially, at first, in France) as ingenuity rather than error. Nowadays, you’re far more likely to hear Mussorgsky’s own rough voice, rather than Rimsky-Korsakov’s splashier and more cultivated voice, when you listen to his opera Boris Godunov (although to this day, Night on Bald Mountain is still usually heard in Rimsky’s recomposition).

            Pictures at an Exhibition, Mussorgsky’s most popular work, has the most complicated history of editorial interventions. Its inspiration came in 1874, when the critic Vladimir Stasov organized a retrospective of works by the short-lived Russian artist and architect Viktor Hartmann. Mussorgsky was a friend of both Stasov and the artist, and he commemorated the show with a piano cycle offering musical evocations of selected pictures, several of them separated by “promenades” representing the composer’s clumsy gait as he walks through the gallery. When the work first appeared in print, Stasov’s guide to the music was included; you can find it an appendix below.

            Pictures wasn’t published until after the composer’s death—in an edition (no surprise) with “corrections” by Rimsky. But that was just the beginning: A decade later, Mihail Tushmalov made an abridged version for orchestra, and that opened the floodgates. By now there are hundreds of adaptations for different performing forces, from solo guitar to xylophone, from alto sax and harp to bassoon quintet, from rock ensemble (most famously, the version by Emerson, Lake, and Palmer) to full orchestra.

Maurice Ravel            Yet for over a century, out of all those hundreds of variants, by far the most popular has been the orchestration, based on Rimsky’s edition, made in 1922 by Maurice Ravel (1875-1937). It’s not without detractors—some (including conductor Leopold Stokowski) have criticized it for being too polished. But those complaints have had little impact on the work’s popularity. Indeed, while the piano version remains central to the piano repertoire, the Ravel Pictures, for many people, has become the standard version—a work, says Larry, that “never falls out of favor.” And in part because Ravel’s recasting (like most other adaptations) sounds so clearly 20th-century, the work has been removed from its original context.

            That historical dislocation might not be entirely a bad thing, for two reasons. First, while the music has remained vibrant for nearly a hundred and fifty years, Hartmann’s art has not. Many of the pictures Mussorgsky celebrated have been lost, and those that remain do not, for most viewers, stand up to the music they inspired. As a result, one can argue that the music works better if it’s severed from the artworks that inspired it, allowing listeners more freedom to exercise their imaginations.

            Second, Mussorgsky was a product of his times in ways that clash with contemporary values. Although it may have been be inspired by authentic Jewish melodies, “Samuel Goldenberg and Schmuyle” (probably based on two different Hartmann pictures) has elements of the anti-Semitism common in Russia at the time. As for “The Great Gate of Kyiv”: It’s a depiction of Hartmann’s sketches for an architectural idea never fulfilled, intended as a celebration of Tsar Alexander II. Although the titles of the individual movements of Pictures vary in language (including Italian, French, and Latin), Mussorgsky used the Russian, rather than the Ukrainian, spelling of Ukraine’s capital city (“Kiev” rather than “Kyiv”). And the music was clearly intended to exalt Russian imperialism at the expense of Ukrainian independence (although in the past few years, many people have repurposed it as a celebration of Ukraine—similar to the way Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture has been integrated into Fourth of July festivities).

            In any case, Ravel was the greatest orchestrator of his time; and Mussorgsky’s piano original is recast so imaginatively (for instance, the use of a saxophone to represent the troubadour in “The Old Castle” or the high tuba in the representation of an ox-cart in “Bydlo”) that few have been able to resist. It’s especially strong as a season opener, Larry notes, because it “shows off every corner of the orchestra and highlights musicians as soloists.” The closing, one of the grandest climaxes in the repertoire, is a rousing welcome to our eleventh season.

APPENDIX

When Pictures at an Exhibition was published in 1886, it included the following description by Vladimir Stasov. A few clarifying notes have been added in brackets.

The introduction is titled “Promenade.”

No. 1. “Gnomus”—a drawing, representing a small gnome, clumsily walking on small, crooked legs.

No. 2. “Il vecchio castello”—a castle of the Middle Ages before which a troubador sings his songs.

No. 3. “Tuileries: Argument among children after games”—An alley in the Tuileries garden, with a swirl of children and maids.

No. 4. “Bydlo”—a Polish cart on huge wheels, drawn by a yoke of oxen.

No. 5. “Ballet of the Chicks in their Shells”— a small painting by Hartmann for staging a picturesque scene from the ballet Trilbi.

No. 6. “Samuel Goldenberg and Schmuyle”—two Polish Jews, one rich and the other poor. [Note: “Samuel Goldenberg and Schmuyle” is the title in Mussorgsky’s manuscript, as well as in the first published edition and Ravel’s score. In Pavel Lamm’s edition of the score from 1930, the original title is eliminated—perhaps because it was thought to be offensive—and replaced in brackets by Stasov’s description.]

No. 7. “Limoges. The Market”—French women, arguing fiercely at the market.

No. 8. “Catacombae”—in Hartmann’s painting, he depicted himself gazing at the catacombs of Paris by the light of a lantern. In his original manuscript, Mussorgsky wrote above the Andante in B Minor, “The creative spirit of the dead Hartmann leads me toward the skulls he apostrophizes; the skulls light up gently from the inside.” [Note: The second half of this section, what Stasov called the Andante in B Minor, is subtitled “Con Mortuis In Lingua Mortua”—“With the Dead in a Dead Language.”]

No. 9. “The Hut on Chicken’s Legs”—Hartmann’s drawing represented a clock in the shape of the fantastic witch Baba Yaga’s small thatched cottage on chicken feet.  Mussorgsky added the flight of Baba Yaga in a mortar.

No. 10. “The Great Gate of Kyiv”—Hartmann’s drawing represented his project for a door to the city of Kyiv in massive Russian-antique style, with a dome in the shape of a Slavonic helmet. [NOTE: The actual title of this movement in the score is “The Bogatyrs’ Gates (in the Capital in Kiev [sic]),” but it is most widely known these days as “The Great Gate of Kyiv.”)

[Note: Mussorgsky interleaved further Promenades after the first, second, fourth, and sixth pictures; Ravel eliminated the last of these. In addition, “Con Mortuis” and “The Great Gate” draw thematic material from the Promenade.]






Leaving a Musical Legacy: Evelyn Brenzel



Music was central to Evelyn Brenzel’s life. A longtime math teacher at HW Smith High School and devoted caretaker for her beloved Doberman Pinschers, Evelyn was a committed member of the Symphoria Family.

Evelyn’s friend shares how much music meant to Evelyn: “When Maestro Loh spoke the words “Beethoven’s Seventh” at the 2020 Symphoria reveal party, Evelyn turned to me with a look of such joy on her face that it still gives me goosebumps. We continued to attend live concerts with her until the very night before the state shut it all down in March.

We were worried about how she would cope, but technology saved the day. After Symphoria’s very moving streamed performance of the Seventh last fall, she emailed me to say ‘I’m in heaven.’”

Not only did Evelyn attend as many performances as possible as an audience member, but she was also a musician. As a college student, Evelyn had the opportunity to sing the Brahms Requiem with the Philadelphia Orchestra on a live broadcast as the nation mourned the assassination of President Kennedy in November 1963. Sadly, Evelyn passed away in December 2020.

We were honored to learn that she generously included Symphoria in her will, making sure that future audiences will have access to the beautiful music she loved so much.
Your legacy gift can keep Symphoria playing beautiful music. If you would like to learn more about how you can create your own musical legacy in Central New York, or if Symphoria is already in your plans, please contact Katie Kaczorowski, Director of Development at 315-434-5279 or KKac@ExperienceSymphoria.org.
