Two Hundred Years of Woodwinds; 3; Winds and Strings

it's been it's b it's what the globe paving a jam session

are grouped and looked quite like the two hundred year old growth in figurines you say you're going to close that that for that same instruments if you look closely you'll see that there are four strings and three wins this nomination was the outgrowth of a very popular form of music making over the vermont goat meat is a god by ratings weren't meant to be performed in the opener perhaps the olive garden where they serve purely as background music for a social conscience that music was especially popular in vienna early human when we were in the end of the philadelphia orchestra incredible amount of music collectively that the quake there it seems that every street in every house that's on special significance the statues on the markers or commemorating some famous viennese musician a composer yeah i was the musical crossroads of the

world knows that he's in every instrumentalist a composer or any of that made its way to be and i think his fortune the princes and the nobleman the rich people live at maintaining early on establishment where they put on concerts are not only jammed the concert the entire symphony concerts just incredible and it's released public how they clamored for the latest pieces and they insist that i'm having to compose a president they would settle for a record or world music like we do today was no wonder that beethoven decided to leave the good fortune of yemen and he worked hard and mozart and seventy nine who will solve the beethoven really had quite a time quite a struggle making a living at the music and piano he had to have piano lessons teach composition and do all sorts of musical jobs reforms

jobs and another way of making money was by dedicating his compositions are two members of the nobility or other people with money the dedication that were usually very florid and effervescent and they're an ash pile and today's competition the bedouins that that is a case in point this was dedicated to the empress maria theresa now the first public performance of the beethoven said that without a concert at the bird theater in vienna and eighteen hundred i'm the program there was also listed a mozart symphony of beethoven piano concerto with the composer flying improvisations by beethoven somalia's from the creation and beethoven's first symphony what a long evening but we are sure that they probably had a wonderful but they they're from which the musicians and the audience

could get some pleasure now this step that was a huge success and became very popular many many transcripts were made of beethoven himself transcribe it for piano trio this was for a doctor friend of his mansion musician as for custom in those days the manuscript was given to the doctor it was his sole possessions or the period of one year that open also recommended to transfer of the piece to include looters are bugging him for music and that he wrote is the publisher dark monster saying as a bollywood transcribers war who prepped the quintet why the polluters would swarm about this like hungry insects this composition is a fine example of the mature development of the developmental form this form could include as many

as ten movements and beethoven separate the six months is a new variation so in addition to the usual four today we will perform the theme and variations the fourth movement we are very pleased to have with its some of our colleagues from the philadelphia orchestra at a tapas out intercept that and i'm a call on david madison violinist to give is that he is being is a paul song from the rhineland region nearby island where beethoven was born there i am on the oil is often coolly played a syndicated version of being in the great variation main ways

harry word that sir art shows in the case that same variation also in the first art now our double bass player rodney scott plays a fragment of his fame later on the competition but this is in a sox minor mysterious mode now in the second variation the violent areas around for the flirtation with the woodwind instruments the woodwinds come into their own in the third variation where they play a game of

that oh oh oh oh yeah create such a rock with other thing to wake up the french one from a long slumber and he plays a rather mournful melody he saw the compliment the footsteps of the race and the cello and they're agitated nervous accompaniment of a violent time in a minor key it despite his belief that variation which is a serene smooth stop version of the theme played mostly by the strings and it goes directly into the cold war the end where there is introduced new material in the woodwinds a little much like being or the steady accompaniment of the strings this bill that the way for pizza mo

climax there is a cutoff silence and we hear this mysterious minor mode in the low instruments the double bass cello and be all this plays out to practically nothing and then beethoven stuck in india has two final chords as if to say the end we think this is a masterpiece of the variation farm it shows the great variety within small bones gentleman let's get up and give a complete performance depicting radio hour eight eric

neither

neither movies moody's sees well

yes well yet it's b it's b and a

half a half hour neither

others head they are

no no oh no and what wonderful music theme and variations on the set that like beethoven or three when four strings really a great day the period when

winds began to be included in chamber groups along with the string instruments in our last program we discussed a period when the wind instruments were used almost exclusively on of course that is very much like our bands today then their requirements in the instrument's players also led to the time when the earliest composers used these wind instruments little bit more indoors with chamber groups and where no real giants are like beethoven took over the job by our vision which was really only established media giants our arms and once that one he was referring to bake oven it makes the likes of us and even when we're the tramp a giant the imus but in the cases that say that we are not composers we're

woodwind player and we don't feel it on tv in the company of the giant on the contrary we don't like to be in their company because these men were instruments intimately and knew how to use them to their maximum advantage justin's teammates are as beethoven fifth and john remind me one of the greatest experiences of my life back in nineteen forty three we were just organizing the pension foundation of the orchestra and the man in the orchestra has made by couldn't get much glucose continue to come in about the concert for our benefit well i went up to europe for the nbc route with the news that be in those days and i prevailed on the maestro to come down and those he was very gracious about obesity would be delighted when i asked them what the program would be he suggested an all beethoven program and the beethoven step that august twenty that seemed strange to me that when the maestro explained that

as a student in parma he saved money from his lunch allowance and with this money he purchased the first really ever alone as beethoven's it was something special and precious didn't know anybody who was at that time because it was a memorable performance experts like mubarak ramsay was an easy one thinking of beethoven i wonder how beethoven what he thought about mozart the next competition your own channel i'm not sure that the musicians there were three and i'm sure where to agree that this is really the great masterwork for oracle in the chair music repertoire it was written by world signed in seventy eighty one expression he wore robert lamb was

the great too virtual so where in the equally great man i'm orchestra that they would start at the end a man i'm traveling and he wrote this wonderful player was so impressed that he wrote this quartet and other works for them over a period of years one of the great tragedies of music is that this quartet is the only one of those works that was not last and both the only one that we're able to play point this time the resulting jobs as the instrument which was used in the us it is a wealthy area instrument which was so generally played throughout europe in the eighteenth century and the ugly was the instrument that graham used to play this very work incredible difficult work on and some of the troops and almost devoid of the fuel well i went

there agree with you but you know to show who the how much or how important point of view is because it's very interesting and there isn't a collection of old letters to one of the units makers in europe a letter from one of the prominent over quote of the day watching the receipt of a view of a promise and the maker and instead of it being like there's this instrument maker had at the birth of our sixteen keys thinking that he thought they'd be playing a song what where was very indignant about barry is an outspoken and he said the plane have all these obstacles in kiev away this week mm mm mm want to get radio play the

work that we're selling it was a vocal quartet and a lot of political solutions for them in uniform and that's a very fortunate to be able to obtain an original manuscript of the work goes the hobby and the job a lengthy and the only way the randolph mozart or third and the essence

and in the two eight
