5 Selecting the perfect piano Sir Andrew Davis once said that Jean-Efflam Bavouzet was not only the most fantastic pianist, but also one of the wackiest guys he knows. Today, Maestro Davis will conduct his very good friend, Bavouzet during Rachmaninov s popular Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. But first, this world renowned pianist has to choose the perfect performance piano. How do you select a piano suitable for performance? For acoustic reasons, the pianist sitting at the piano is not always the best placed to judge the instrument. You get the full picture of it only when you hear it from the hall. In the basement where you usually select the instrument you can only judge the keyboard s response. Russian pianist Sviatoslav Richter, who hated the piano selection process, said, a piano is your destiny. And similarly, classical pianist Arthur Rubinstein said, There is no such thing as bad pianos, only bad pianists! I like to think of these quotes sometimes! Most pianists choose Steinway. Is this your piano of choice? Everybody would admit that a gorgeous Steinway is quite unsurpassable. This said, when performing Haydn and Mozart, I definitely prefer a beautiful Yamaha CFX. Pianos are not like cars. Too many parameters are uncontrollable therefore the brand name is not enough; you must hear and touch the instrument to apprehend its artistic qualities. How do you work with a tuner to ensure the piano is perfect for performance? This is difficult to express with words. If there is time available, I can get into the details of the piano with the tuner, alongside the obvious requirements. Sound quality demands may vary according to the nature of the concert - that is recital or concerto - but often I have confidence in the tuners. In your career to date, what has been your favourite place to perform? So many places to choose from, but my favourites have been Chicago Symphony Hall, Berlin Philharmonie, Carnegie Hall, Concertgebouw, St Petersburg Philharmonie, Musikverein, Wigmore Hall, Sala Sao Paolo, Casa da Musica Porto, and so many more! As a piano gets older does its sound change? The instruments don t automatically age either beautifully or badly. The key factor is the technician who takes care of it. How do you look after your own piano? I deliberately don t have high quality instruments at home. This is the best way to not be disappointed on stage! How do you prepare for a concert - mentally and physically? There is no recipe to follow: you sleep well, you eat well, you are prepared and the concert is ok. You sleep badly, you don t feel well, you are tired of travelling and the concert is fantastic! Go figure! Do you practice on the day of a performance? Yes, normally 4-5 hours. Sometimes I don t practice the repertoire to be played at the concert. I do like practising in the evening, especially after a matinee concert. Do you have a lucky charm or perform any rituals before a performance? I eat an apple and walk around barefoot. Then I like to think that the composer is in the hall. My friend Gábor Tákacs-Nagy once told me: When performing, we need to be the tour guide and the tourist at the same time. These thoughts, more than any rituals, are inspiring for me. 5

9 JOSEPH HAYDN ( ) Symphony No.6 in D, Hob.I:6, Le matin Adagio Allegro Adagio Andante Adagio Menuet Finale (Allegro) In Vienna during March 1761, the young Joseph Haydn began engaging instrumentalists to reorganise the musical establishment of his new employer, Prince Paul Anton Esterházy. He was not yet 29 and had fallen on his feet, following Count Morzin s disbandment of his former orchestra, in finding the greatest Hungarian magnate only too grateful to snap him up. His first task was to find top-quality musicians to entertain the Ezterházy court wherever it might be on one or other of the provincial estates, such as Eisenstadt or Kittsee, or at the grand Esterházy palace in the Wallnerstrasse, Vienna, where the court usually spent at least six months of the year. First among Haydn s new musicians came Franz Sigl, who played flute and oboe, the brothers Kapfer, also oboists, and bassoonists Johann Hinterberger and Georg Schwenda (the latter also playing double bass). Soon to follow were French violinist Franciscus Garnier, violinist Melchior Griessler, cellist Joseph Weigl, and horn players Johann Knoblauch and Thaddeus Steinmüller. Haydn was, in fact, signing up new musicians for his employer even before he had signed his own contract as Vice-Kapellmeister (and heir presumptive) to the ageing Gregor Werner that was to follow on 1 May At the same time, he was busily composing music to display the talents of the new players he had engaged. To do so on the themes of the times of the day morning, noon and evening was apparently the suggestion of Prince Paul Anton (whose library had long included The Four Seasons of Vivaldi). The result was a trilogy of symphonies, Nos. 6-8, designated in French Le matin, Le midi and Le soir. All but perhaps one of the new musicians, together with a few additional string players (including as leader Luigi Tomasini, who was already on the princely payroll, and probably Haydn himself on violin) would have formed the band, about 16 strong, which premiered the young Vice-Kapellmeister s first symphonies for his new employer. These historic performances in the summer of 1761 doubtless took place in the stateroom of the Esterházy's Wallnerstrasse palace. There, the cream of Viennese nobility would have been able to admire the family s evident discrimination in engaging one of the finest musical minds of Europe. Haydn appropriately begins his musical day by depicting a sunrise complete in a mere six bars which is a rare example of a slow introduction at this stage of the composer s career and, indeed, of a crescendo. Apart from this, however, there are few overtly programmatic connotations in the trilogy. The solo flute and pair of oboes show unexpected freedom in leading the way through a chirpy Allegro of some impetus. The winds fall silent in the slow movement, in which (in traditional concerto grosso style) violin and cello form a concertante pair against the other strings. Scale passages for the violin suggest a parody of a singing lesson. However, the core of this eloquent movement is a stately Baroque dance, after which the violin scales return no longer a parody, as Haydn scholar H.C. Robbins Landon points out, but now a heartfelt tribute to the beauty of the Italian Baroque, which Haydn realised was dear to his new employer s heart. Winds come back into their own on an elegant minuet, but the central trio section has an extraordinary solo for violone (or its modern equivalent, the double bass), and another almost as important for bassoon, which would have put Messrs Schwenda and Hinterberger, respectively, through their paces. The leader, Tomasini (for whom Haydn wrote a number of concertos and who was to become a composer in his own right), again takes centre stage in the finale with the solo cellist Weigl. After a splendid solo for Tomasini, the two horns are so delighted that they, too, whoop virtuosic enthusiasm. Anthony Cane The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra first performed this symphony on 9 March 1972 under conductor John Hopkins, and most recently on 15 June 1991 under Hiroyuki Iwaki. 9
10 SERGEI RACHMANINOV ( ) Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, Op.43 Jean-Efflam Bavouzet piano On leaving Russia for good in 1917, Rachmaninov busied himself with acquiring a concert pianist s repertoire, so that he could earn a steady income he gave 40 concerts in four months during his first US concert season. But he gradually reduced his concert commitments until, in 1925, he had nine months free of performances, during which he composed his first post-russian pieces: Three Russian Songs for Chorus and Orchestra, which were well received, and the Piano Concerto No.4, which was greeted with widespread indifference. Rachmaninov, always sensitive about his own music, did not produce another work for four years. When the Variations on a Theme of Corelli for solo piano appeared in 1931, they indicated that a largescale variation structure might serve Rachmaninov s musical needs better than the more traditional concerto structure in which success had so recently eluded him. The Corelli Variations, based on the Baroque popular tune La Folia, might be thought of as the moodier, introspective dress rehearsal for the work that was to follow: the Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, based on Paganini s celebrated 24th Caprice. In the Rhapsody, Rachmaninov seems to grasp the big picture and distil a sense of unity, from variation to variation, that he does not achieve in the more extended forms of the Fourth Concerto. Yet the Rhapsody s theme and 24 variations actually behave like a four-movement work. Variations 1 to 11 form a quick first movement with cadenza; Variations 12 to 15 supply the equivalent of a scherzo/minuet; Variations 16 to 18, the slow movement; and the final six variations, the dashing finale. We actually hear the first variation a skeletal march that evokes Paganini s bony frame before the theme itself. The ensuing variations are increasingly animated and decorative until Variation 7 gives us a first stately glimpse, on the piano, of the Dies irae plainchant, with the strings muttering the Paganini theme against it. This old funeral chant features prominently in Rachmaninov s output. Sometimes, as in his final work, the Symphonic Dances, he uses it without irony, but its appearances in the Rhapsody are essentially sardonic. Variation 8 is a kind of demented can-can which rushes headlong into the even more helter-skelter Variation 9, in which the strings begin by playing with the wood of their bows. Grimly glittering arpeggios are tossed between piano and orchestra in Variation 10, in which the Dies irae is heard in brazen octaves on the piano, with syncopated brass commentary. With the cadenza-like Variation 11 forming a point of transition, we move to the exquisite, gently regal minuet of Variation 12. The drive, directness and power of Variation 14 are created with much bolder writing for wind and brass than Rachmaninov employed in his earlier orchestral scores. The piano is given a very subsidiary role here, then comes instantly to the fore in the dazzling, cadenza-like Variation 15. After a pause, Variation 16 has an intimacy and exoticism that evokes the Arabian Dance from Tchaikovsky s The Nutcracker, with short but telling solo phrases for oboe, horn, violin, clarinet and cor anglais. Variation 17 is more palpably mysterious, even sinister, and the only one where the theme seems to have vanished altogether. But we land on very deep shag-pile indeed with the celebrated 18th Variation, in which Rachmaninov uses his sleight of hand to turn Paganini s theme upside down and create a luxuriant, much admired (and much imitated) melody of his own. Rachmaninov is reported to have said of it: This one is for my agent. As if being woken suddenly from a dream, the orchestra calls the soloist and the audience to attention for six final variations that evoke Paganini s legendary left-hand pizzicato playing (Variation 19) and the demonic aspects of the Paganini legend, with more references to the Dies irae and an increasing emphasis on pianistic and orchestral virtuosity in the last two variations. Just as a final violent outburst of the Dies irae seems to be leading us to a furious crash-bang coda, we are left instead with a nudge and a wink, as Rachmaninov s final masterpiece for piano and orchestra bids us a sly farewell. Abridged from a program note by Phillip Sametz 2000 The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra s first performance of this work took place on 17 October 1947, with conductor Bernard Heinze and soloist Eunice Gardiner. Alexei Yemtsov was soloist and Andrew Grams conductor in the Orchestra s most recent performance on 15 May
11 CHARLES IVES ( ) Symphony No.4 Prelude: Maestoso Comedy: Allegretto Fugue: Andante moderato con moto Finale: Very slowly; Largo maestoso Jean-Efflam Bavouzet piano Melbourne Symphony Orchestra Chorus Nineteenth-century New England was the world of Ralph Waldo Emerson, the Alcotts, Nathaniel Hawthorne and Henry David Thoreau, where the puritanism of the Congregational churches had given way to more liberal Unitarianism and the philosophy of Transcendentalism, and writers yearned to recapture what Emerson called an original relation to the universe. In Nature, Emerson wrote, the foregoing generations beheld God and nature face to face; we, through their eyes Why should not we have a poetry and philosophy of insight and not of tradition, and a religion by revelation to us, and not the history of theirs? Ives father, George, famously (and eccentrically) encouraged Charles musical potential. Charles was allowed to experiment with cluster harmony that is, to play piano with his fists and George would stretch the ears of his son by playing a song in one key and having Charles sing it in another. He also exposed Charles to a huge range of music, including band music, traditional church music, gospel hymns and Stephen Foster songs; and, as Jan Swafford notes, he gave Charles a wonderful piece of advice when they heard a stonemason singing out of tune: Look into his face and hear the music of the ages. Don t pay too much attention to the sounds for if you do, you may miss the music. You won t get a wild, heroic ride to heaven on pretty little sounds. Ives would eventually start on a Universe Symphony, but the Fourth Symphony is perhaps his most explicit musical depiction of a wild, heroic ride to heaven, and the greatest expression of his idiosyncratic style. Since about 1902 he had embraced vernacular music ranging from popular song to hymn tunes; he indulged in musical onomatopoeia; and he developed, from the experiments learned as a child, a way of layering disparate elements of different character, in different keys (sometimes involving microtones, notably those of the quarte-tone piano), and moving at different speeds. Ives would only ever hear the first two movements played publicly (in 1927), but the piece was composed between 1910 and 1916, revisiting music composed as early as Hymnody threads its way through the piece, with quotations of and allusions to a great number of now largely forgotten tunes. In the short Prelude, an unsettling music in the orchestra s depths is answered by a separate ensemble (that Ives called the Star of Bethlehem) playing a version of Nearer, my God, to Thee, and when the chorus enters it is with a deceptively straight rendition (at first) of Watchman, Tell Us of the Night. The wild ride to heaven is the subject of the Comedy second movement, which relates, musically, Nathaniel Hawthorne s tale, The Celestial Railroad. It is essentially a modern American Pilgrim s Progress: a man falls asleep and dreams, thanks to the promptings of Mr Smooth-it-away, that he will be carried from the noisy City of Destruction on a miraculous train to the Celestial City, while two pilgrims make the journey on foot. There is a detailed guide to the events and sights of the story including the evils of the world, a teaparty at Vanity Fair (with a hymn and salon music) and finally a glimpse of the beyond. The dreaming man has been conned by a demon, and the Jordan is really the Styx, which will carry him to hell. A splash of its icy water wakes him to the joyful chaos of a Fourth of July celebration in Concord, Massachusetts. The Fugue, the form freely treated and the material derived from a movement of Ives early String Quartet No.1, is based on the hymn From Greenland s Icy Mountains with various other tunes alluded to in varying degrees of fleetingness. The finale returns to the glorious, seemingly untrammelled chaos of the second movement, using material from the String Quartet No.2 and an early organ work. The subterranean percussion ensemble, according to Michael Tilson Thomas, represents inexorable time. Ives layers his different musical elements into a complex but hugely compelling wave of sound that at its apogee brings in a modally inflected, wordless rendition of Nearer, my God, to Thee against a brightly glittering background. The theme dissolves, leaving, as an epilogue, a short passage for solo violins and quarter-tone piano. Gordon Kerry 2016 The first complete performance of Ives Symphony No.4 took place in New York under Leopold Stokowski on 26 April This is the first performance of the work by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. Watchman Lowell Mason ( ) Watchman, tell us of the night, What its signs of promise are. Trav ler, o er yon mountain s height, See that glory-beaming star! Watchman, aught of joy or hope? Trav ler, yes; it brings the day, Promised day of Israel. Dost thou see its beauteous ray? 11
