2 rogram Notes The story o Ludig van eethoven is one o sureme musical achievement as ell as triumh over tragedy. nsired by the comositions and letters o eethoven Robert W. Smith has created TWO eethovian Sketches unique settings o to masterorks by the great comoser. The iece oens ith the beautiully comlex yet stunningly simle melody o Moonlight Sonata. eaturing an exressive cello solo this eethovian sketch alludes to his immortal beloved and the tragedy o lost love. n 89 Viennese ublisher Anton Diabelli comosed a simle altz and sent it to the major contemorary Viennese comosers ith a request or each to rovide a variation. His intention as to ublish a musical anthology o hat he considered to be the day s most imortant comosers. Although he originally dismissed the idea eethoven eventually created a set o variations hich are considered masterorks to this day. or his second eethovian sketch Robert W. Smith has created a variation on Diabelli s original altz in homage to eethoven s ork. sing mixed meters and a variety o textures throughout the variation concludes ith a lively lurry that brings the iece to an exciting conclusion. Notes to the Conductor Moonlight Sonata oers multile interretive oortunities. ould suggest exloring the sketch in various temi and dynamic contours in order to ind the most exressive interretation or your erormance setting. The cello solo should be as arm and lyrical as ossible throughout. Diabelli Variations begins ith a setting o the original altz. ould suggest beginning ith a quintet and iano. With each subsequent statement the orchestra should gro culminating in ull orchestration at measure 68. The mixed meter ill rovide a challenge during initial rehearsals; hoever am conident that the orchestra ill gain comort and roiciency ith each reetition. As an otional eect you may ish to use a quintet in measures 9-96 and then exand to ull orchestra at the crescendo in measure 97. inally lease note that the iano lays an imortant role throughout the iece. Thank you or ensuring that this crucial art is covered. hoe that you and the orchestra ill enjoy TWO EETHOVAN SKETCHES and ind it to be a valued addition to your concert rogram. est ishes or a onderul erormance! revie Only Legal se Requires urchase
