4 The Music String Quintet No. 2, Op Darius Milhaud Born in Aix-en-Provence, September 4, 1892 Died in Geneva, June 22, 1974 The January 1920 issue of the popular French journal Comoedia carried an article by 25-year-old composercritic Henri Collet called The Russian Five, the French Six, and M. Erik Satie. In it Collet made a case for the rise of a new aesthetic to replace the fading influences of Romanticism and Impressionism, an approach to musical art that was leaner, smarter, more rhythmically varied, and more contrapuntally rich than the thickly chordal music then common in concert halls. The new aesthetic was essentially eclectic a rejection of old ideas rather than the delineation of a new one and Collet gave it no label. Instead, he emulated the example of the Russian handful, a nationalist group that had included Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and Modest Musorgsky, and enumerated a list of six younger composers whose work embodied the new wave: Francis Poulenc, Arthur Honegger, Georges Auric, Louis Durey, Germaine Tailleferre, and Darius Milhaud. Les Six, under the strong influence if not the outright (though covert) direction of poet-filmmaker Jean Cocteau, embraced popular forms, embodied clarity over obscurity, and promoted the idea of music as an everyday experience. The fates of the group s members varied widely. Durey gave up composition, Tailleferre never fulfilled her early promise, and Auric came to be known primarily for film scores, including the popular 1953 Audrey Hepburn vehicle Roman Holiday. Only Poulenc, Honegger, and Milhaud contributed significantly to concert music, and among them they exhibit such varied stylistic characteristics that linking them together seems almost random. Milhaud was born in 1892 to a wealthy merchant family in Aix-en-Provence, France, and displayed the usual early signs of musical proclivity. He played the violin at eight and first composed music at age 12, showing sufficient gifts to be accepted to his country s most famous music school, the Paris Conservatory. He studied there with composers Paul Dukas and Vincent d Indy, absorbing not only their academic and traditional methods but also experimenting with the Debussyian Impressionism that was then in its sunset years. In 1918 he went to Brazil as
5 30 an attaché to the French ambassador, his friend the poet Paul Claudel. When Milhaud returned to France in 1920 he brought with him a new penchant for lively rhythm, evinced in an orchestral piece, Le Beouf sur la toit, which went on to become one of his two signature works. (The other, the jazz-drenched La Creation du monde of 1923, similarly incorporates an extra-classical idiom.) Milhaud shot to fame as one of Les Six, but he was never comfortable with his membership. He wrote in his autobiography: (Collet) chose six names absolutely arbitrarily simply because we knew each other and we were pals and appeared on the same musical programs, no matter if our temperaments and personalities weren t at all the same! Auric and Poulenc followed ideas of Cocteau, Honegger followed German Romanticism, and myself, Mediterranean lyricism! In 1953 Cocteau himself addressed a reunion of Les Six and admitted that little linked the half dozen together. And yet, said Cocteau: If there was a certain general tendency, it might have been toward rescuing the melodic line. Cocteau might even have said freeing instead of rescuing, since the melodies of Les Six shot off in directions never before aimed at by classical music: jazz, popular songs, folk music, ethnic tunes, and what we would now call world rhythms. Also characteristic of the group was the renewed importance given to counterpoint. All but abandoned in the 19th century, counterpoint gives primacy to melodies combined in patterns that produce a texture comparable to a thick weave, as opposed to the smooth surface of harmonic music. This element persisted throughout Milhaud s career, and is central to the work at hand. Milhaud s Op. 316 is labeled his String Quintet No. 2, but in point of fact his String Quintet No. 1, composed shortly prior, was what is usually called a piano quintet a string quartet plus piano. The String Quintet No. 2 is an actual string quintet, though of the rarest kind, as the fifth instrument is a double bass. Only one other work in the mainstream repertoire uses that instrumentation, and that is Dvořák s String Quintet No 2. Milhaud went on to write two other string quintets, one with a second viola and the other with a second cello, thus exhausting all the usual combinations gathered under that term. We often divide composer s careers into third periods, and talk of, for example, Beethoven s first, second, and third periods, corresponding roughly to youth, middle, and old
6 31 age. But Milhaud s career divides more neatly into two periods: a first one before 1940 and a second afterward. The defining event between them was the fall of France to the Nazis. Milhaud and his wife, both Jewish, fled to the United States, where he was named professor of composition at Mills College, in Oakland, California. After the war Milhaud was also named to the faculty of the Paris Conservatory; his career thereafter took him back and forth between the two schools. Milhaud complained bitterly that his association with Les Six pigeon-holed him as a purveyor of populist style along the lines of La Creation du monde, and indeed his work after 1940 is much more concerned with matters of form and of advanced polytonality (the use of multiple keys at the same time) than with café tune and world rhythms. But it was the very fame of Les Six that allowed Milhaud the luxury of writing any music he wanted to write. What did he want to write? Primarily chamber music of deep contrapuntal complexity. In the late 40s, Milhaud went beyond any composer before him in that area by composing two string quartets, his 14th and 15th, that can be played either by themselves, or together at the same time as an octet. The Quintet No. 2 comes from 1952, the middle of the composer s period of intense Modernist preoccupation. Though almost astringent at times, it nonetheless exhibits Milhaud s usual generous gift for long-lined melody. The work is in four movements, utilizing a typical classical deployment of tempos, with the scherzo in second place rather than third. Kenneth LaFave
7 32 The Music String Quartet in G minor, Op. 10 Claude Debussy Born in Saint-Germain-en- Laye, August 22, 1862 Died in Paris, March 25, 1918 As a precocious teenager, Debussy toured Russia, Italy, and Austria playing piano in the house trio of Nadezhda von Meck, a Russian widow now remembered as the chief patron and confidante of Tchaikovsky. Like the Russian composer, Debussy was little inclined to compose chamber music himself; the Austro-German ideal of discourse among independent but similar instruments was alien to his ears, which preferred tone-painting or, as he called it, sound chemistry at the piano or in the orchestra. Something, however, impelled the 31-year-old Debussy to present his classical credentials, in the form of a string quartet, at the Société Nationale, the organization in Paris that epitomized the German-influenced Classicism of César Franck and his school. The year was 1893, barely 12 months before the succès de scandale of Debussy s ballet Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun, and not much longer until the completion of his revolutionary opera Pelleas and Melisande. These works were to form the foundation of the languid, ambiguous style that came to be called Impressionism. In the String Quartet, however, Debussy s originality took another path, exploring not imagery from poetry or painting but a web of purely musical associations. These begin with Franck, the leading exponent of cyclical form, in which a work of many movements is unified by recurrences of a single motto theme or motif throughout. Then there are the Russian composers, who have a similar way of bringing the same theme back often in new orchestral and harmonic guises, and who also appealed to Debussy with their Oriental influences, modal melodies, and inventiveness in coloristic effects. Finally, and most interestingly, there is the example of Edvard Grieg, who in his one completed string quartet (Op. 27, composed in 1877) strove mightily to join the pantheon of German masters of counterpoint and motivic development, but fell back often on his familiar vein of simple chordal texture and Nordic lyricism. That work s homophonic texture, so unsatisfactory to its composer, apparently encouraged Debussy to follow a similar course, even going so far as to adopt Grieg s key (G minor) and a motto theme very
8 33 similar to his. Surely, however, Debussy s tongue was in his cheek when he gave the work the academic-sounding title Premier Quatuor en sol mineur, Op. 10 the only time he ever assigned a key or an opus number to one of his pieces. The Quartet s first performance was given at the Société Nationale on December 29, 1893, by a quartet headed by Eugène Ysaÿe, the distinguished Belgian violinist who had introduced many other important works, including Franck s ever-popular Sonata for Violin and Piano. Although the Quartet enjoyed immediate popular success, there was some sniffing among the more academically-minded at the Société, and the piece contributed to a rupture between Debussy and his good friend Ernest Chausson, a former Franck pupil, that would never fully heal. Franck himself had previously referred to Debussy s 1888 song cycle Ariettes as de la musique sur les pointes d aiguilles (music on pins and needles), a put-down that nevertheless captures the difference between the younger composer s nervous, volatile style and Franck s stately, Baroque-inspired phrases. Debussy s Quartet plunges into its syncopated motto theme forte and without preliminaries, and returns to it often throughout the first movement (Animé et trés decidé), always with new instrumental and harmonic coloration but rarely with what a student of Beethoven would call thematic development. An impassioned, lyrical second theme also receives this treatment, in a subordinate role. Like Beethoven in some of his late works, Debussy goes directly from a solid first movement to a scherzo (Assez vif et bien rythmé) that parodies it. A sassy version of the motto theme skips and twirls amid a welter of pizzicatos, no doubt inspired by the celebrated pizzicato scherzo of Tchaikovsky s Fourth Symphony, which Debussy had heard in Russia. Here, cross-rhythms of two against three add still more dazzle to the accompaniment. Nothing so literal minded as A-B-A scherzo form intrudes here, but there is a Russian-sounding legato tune for contrast, and some sense of recapitulation later in this kaleidoscopic movement. The Andantino for muted strings, marked sweetly expressive by the composer, draws both on Russian melodies (as in Tchaikovsky and especially Borodin) and on Grieg, wrapping them in an elusive atmosphere that is uniquely Debussy s. The main theme s gentle syncopations echo the rhythm of the Quartet s motto
9 34 theme. The viola s solo recitative in modal or pentatonic phrases anticipates the folk-influenced idiom of Vaughan Williams; one of its features is the little melodic turn in triplets from the motto theme, which grows in prominence as the movement reaches its expressive climax. In the finale s opening bars (Très modéré), the previous movement s sweet Debussyan languor settles over the motto theme; but soon a variant of the motto gathers force as a repeating ostinato, somewhat in the manner of the scherzo. Still another version of the motto establishes the movement s hard-driving finale character, which is relieved by reminiscences of the middle section of the Andantino, serving here as a second theme. The motto is recalled in its original, strongly-syncopated form, and many other familiar bits of melody are woven into the music as it increases in speed and brilliance all the way to the end.

10 The Music Trio élégiaque in D minor, Op. 9, for violin, cello, and piano 35 Sergei Rachmaninoff Born in Semyonovo, Russia, April 1, 1873 Died in Beverly Hills, March 28, 1943 In addition to the symphonies, concertos, and solo piano works by which he is best known to concertgoers today, Rachmaninoff wrote about a dozen chamber works, nearly all by the time he was 25. These include two string quartets, Romances for violin and for cello, and a Cello Sonata in G minor that has become one of the favorite works in the genre. He also wrote two piano trios, in 1892 and 1893, both of which were called Trio élégiaque. The First is seldom played, but the Second published as Op. 9 but revised in 1907 and again in 1917 has established a solid position in the post-romantic repertoire. It is a big, passionate work that recalls nothing so much as Tchaikovsky s A-minor Piano Trio from That work had been composed To the Memory of a Great Artist, named to the composer s friend Nikolai Rubinstein, who had just died. Tchaikovsky himself, who died in November 1893, would in turn become the dedicatee of Rachmaninoff s Second Trio. The news of the great Russian composer s death stunned the 20-year-old Rachmaninoff, who had come to regard Tchaikovsky as his chief mentor and one of his closest friends. He apparently began writing the D-minor Trio the day after hearing of the death. In Memory of P.I. Tchaikovsky, reads the inscription. The composition of the piece paid a heavy toll on the young man. While working on it, all my thoughts, feelings, energies were devoted to it, he wrote. As it says in one of my songs, all the time I was tormented and sick in heart. I trembled for every phrase, sometimes crossed out everything and began again to think, and think. An unmistakable atmosphere of mourning and grief hangs over the work, which is clearly modeled after Tchaikovsky s Trio. The first movement (Moderato Allegro vivace) opens with a funeral march that seems to imbue death with a harrowing sweetness. A second subject is constructed from a sigh-motif, a weary descending third grows into the principal building-block of the development section. The second movement
11 36 (Andante: Quasi variazione) is a dense, variegated, magnificent set of eight variations on a theme that bears kinship to the subject of the parallel movement of Tchaikovsky s Trio (also a set of variations). The biographer Barrie Martyn also hears a relationship to the music of Rachmaninoff s own The Rock, the last piece that the young composer had shown to Tchaikovsky before his death. The massive but brief finale, Allegro risoluto, reintroduces the descending lament-motif from the first movement, building to a series of gigantic and anguished emotional outbursts, which bring the Trio to a resigned and exhausted conclusion.
