2 About the Music February 15 & 17, 2015 George Gershwin Rhapsody in Blue George Gershwin was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1898 and died in Hollywood in He composed Rhapsody in Blue in 1924 and before the ink was dry it was performed by the Paul Whiteman big band in New York with Gershwin as soloist. The work was later scored for orchestra by Ferde Grofé. The Rhapsody calls for solo piano, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, English horn, 2 clarinets, bass clarinet, 2 bassoons, 3 saxophones, 3 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion, banjo and strings. More than anything, George Gershwin wanted to bring the folk music of America jazz to the concert hall. But despite his enormous success on Broadway, Gershwin was highly selfconscious about his lack of formal training so much so that he actually sought lessons from the best classical composers around. This amused them: Ravel reportedly asked him, Why do you want to be a Ravel when you are a perfectly fine Gershwin? In a story that is almost certainly apocryphal, Gershwin is said to have written Stravinsky asking for lessons and what fee the composer charged. Stravinsky replied by asking what annual salary Gershwin made. When Gershwin supplied a nifty six-digit figure, Stravinsky is said to have written back, How about my taking lessons from you? Gershwin was able to shake off his perceived inadequacies and compose big, Tchaikovsky-esque works that used popular music elements as their basic materials. Classical composers had been able to dabble in jazz before, but Gershwin proved that the street ran both ways. It turned out that band leader Paul Whiteman shared Gershwin s desire to bring jazz to the concert hall, and was acting on it. He had already scheduled a concert of symphonic jazz for New York s Aeolian Hall when he asked the 25 year-old Gershwin to supply a jazz concerto. Gershwin had only a month to compose the work and he was already busy, but inspiration came on a train trip to Boston: I suddenly heard and even saw on paper the complete construction of the Rhapsody, from beginning to end I heard it as sort of a musical kaleidoscope of America of our vast melting pot, of our unduplicated national pep, of our blues, our metropolitan madness. Gershwin completed the Rhapsody in a week, except for some of the solo piano parts: I was so pressed for time that I left them to be improvised at the first concert. I could do that as I was to be the pianist. The Rhapsody s first performance was an enormous success. It took place before an audience of luminaries from the world of serious music, and it made Gershwin a name to be taken as seriously in the concert hall as it was in the musical theater. 26
3 Ludwig van Beethoven Symphony No. 3 in E-Flat Major, Op. 55, Eroica Ludwig van Beethoven was born in Bonn in 1770 and died in Vienna in He completed this work in 1804, and led the first public performance in Vienna the following year. The symphony calls for 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 3 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani and strings. Beethoven s own copy of this score is well-thumbed through, full of changes and annotations in the composer s hand. Its title page reads: Grand Symphony, Entitled Bonaparte, by Mr. Louis van Beethoven. The words Entitled Bonaparte have been scratched out so violently that a hole was ripped through the paper. Witnesses say that when Beethoven learned that Napoléon, the hero of this work, had crowned himself emperor, he flew into a rage: Is he, then, too, nothing more than an ordinary human being? Now he, too, will trample on all the rights of Man and indulge only his ambition. He will exalt himself above all others, become a tyrant! Beethoven changed the dedication to Heroic Symphony Composed to Celebrate the Memory of a Great Man. To Beethoven, Napoléon was already a memory. Beethoven had been ambivalent about Napoléon all along. He heartily endorsed the ideals of the French Revolution, and Napoléon seemed to be its champion. The military exploits were troubling it was one thing to welcome the Revolution, quite another to come under fire from its troops yet he was still ready to dedicate his symphony to Napoléon even after the general had conquered Beethoven s own Austria. Beethoven was ready to adapt to French rule, if necessary, and delighted in the prospect that the loathsome Viennese aristocracy would finally get what they deserved. But all was rendered moot when Napoléon had a crown put on his head. What remains is the music itself, and in this Beethoven proved himself to be the most revolutionary of all. The Eroica was longer, more structurally complex and harmonically sophisticated than anything that came before. It was a symphony that redefined the term. A comprehensive list of its innovations would fill a sizable volume. In the first movement, for example, the usual slow introduction to a sonata-allegro form is condensed all the way down to two short, sharp chords. A new theme that never appeared in the exposition inserts itself into the development. The French horn anticipates the recapitulation by several bars, over the wrong harmony. Its coda is nearly as long as the exposition. The list could go on and on. The second movement funeral march opens with complete simplicity, but it is only the beginning of a long, complex journey through grief and nobility. Berlioz called it a last farewell of the warriors to their fallen comrades in arms. It came to mean something else for Beethoven: when informed of Napoléon s death in 1821, the composer responded, I have already composed the proper music for that catastrophe. Beethoven had written scherzos in 27
4 lieu of minuets before, as had haydn and others. But the one he composed for the Eroica had such incredible energy, rhythmic vitality, and capacity for surprise that it made the more predictable minuet obsolete in a single stroke. The Eroica s Finale is a tour-de-force of symphonic development. At first it seems to be a theme-and-variations on the pizzicato bass-line. But it turns out that the bass-line belongs to a melody borrowed from Beethoven s ballet The Creatures of Prometheus; before long we hear the Prometheus tune itself, and the real theme-and-variations begin. There are eleven variations in all twelve, if you count the ebullient coda. The movement has unprecedented length and weight; in Beethoven s expanding universe the Finale has become not just a flourish tacked on to the first three movements but a fulfillment of their promise. From our vantage point it is easy to overlook just how shocking these things were to Beethoven s audience. It was as if the composer, with this symphony, had erected a signpost marking the arrival of romanticism and, consequently, the decline of Classicism. Composers thereafter could not ignore the Eroica, for Beethoven had permanently changed the rules and he knew it. When he had completed eight symphonies (including his monumental Fifth), a friend asked him which of them he preferred. Beethoven replied immediately: The Eroica.
