Charles Munch and the Orchestra commissioned works from Barber, Bernstein,

forty-eight United States premieres, thirty-two world premieres and performed worksby thirty-one American composers.

In addition to extensive concert series in this country, Charles Munch has taken

the Orchestra on three foreign tours: to Europe in 1952, a second European tour in

1956 when the Orchestra was the first western orchestra to perform in the Soviet

Union, and an eight-week tour of the Far East in Japan, Taiwan, The Philippines,

Australia, and New Zealand in 1960.

His book I Am a Conductor was published in Paris in 1954 and in translation

in New York, 1955 (Oxford University Press) ; London, 1956; Zurich, 1957;Moscow, 1960.

A busy orchestra since its first season of 1881-1882 when 83,359 persons

attended twenty concerts and twenty public rehearsals, the Boston SymphonyOrchestra now has a fifty-week season in which 221 concerts are given. This is the

longest concert season of any privately supported orchestra in the world.

The Orchestra presents five different series in Boston's Symphony Hall during

the 31 -week winter season plus five series in other cities and approximately twenty

tour concerts, then the Boston Pops and the free open-air Esplanade Concerts with

ELEGY TO THE MEMORY OF MYKOUSSEVITZKY, Op. 44

Howard Hanson has composed this Elegy for

the 75th anniversary of the Boston SymphonyOrchestra, and it was performed by this Orches-tra January 20-21, 1956. It was conducted byCharles Munch at a memorial concert in the

Berkshire Festival, on August 13, 1961. It wascommissioned by the Orchestra and the Kous-sevitzky Music Foundation. The orchestra re-

quired includes 2 flutes and piccolo, 2 oboesand English horn, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones and tuba, harp,timpani and strings.

The Elegy opens with an expressive

melody presented by the strings, at first

canonically, and in 3/4 time. This

melody, varied in development, is the

basis of the piece. A section in 4/4rhythm opening in the winds reaches a

climax of intensity and subsides to a

return of the original tempo ( teneramente

con simplicitd) to a pianissimo ending.

FRIEND, SERGE Howard HansonBorn in Wahoo, Nebraska, October 28, 1896

Howard Hanson's parents, Hans andHilma Hanson, were of Swedish descent.

First taught by his mother, Mr. Hansoncontinued his studies in Luther College

and the University School of Music of

his native State. He studied composition

at the Institute of Musical Art in NewYork with Percy Goetschius, and later

at the Northwestern University School of

Music at Evanston, under C. Lutkin andArne Oldberg. Taking his degree in

1916, he taught at the College of the

Pacific in San Jose, California. In 1921

he was elected to a three-year fellow-

ship in composition at the AmericanAcademy in Rome. Returning to Amer-ica in 1924, he was appointed director of

the Eastman School of Music of the Uni-

versity of Rochester, New York, the posi-

tion which he now holds.

April 21, 1911, by the Boston Symphony Orches-

tra, Max Fiedler, conductor.

The instrumentation requires 3 flutes andpiccolo, 2 oboes and English horn, 3 clarinets,

3 bassoons and contra-bassoon, 4 horns, 3

trumpets, 3 trombones and tuba, timpani, tam-

bourine, castanets, military drum, cymbals,

xylophone, celesta, bells, two harps and strings.

Debussy wrote to Durand, his pub-

lisher, on May 16, 1905, of his plan to

compose a set of "/mages" (a conven-

iently noncommittal title) for two pianos,

to be called L "Gigues Tristes" II.

"Iberia," III. "Valses (?)" Before long

the project had become an orchestral one,

and the questioned "Valses" had been

dropped. The two orchestral pieces were

expected for the summer of 1906. Theywere not forthcoming. The musician

who could once linger over his scores

at will, rewriting, refining, repolishing,

while the world cared little, was nowthe famous composer of "Pelleas." Pub-

lishers, orchestras, were at his doorstep,

expectant, insistent, mentioning dates.

Debussy was still unhurried, reluctant to

give to his publisher a score which might

still be bettered. He wrote to Durandin August of 1906: "I have before methree different endings for 'Iberia ; shall

I toss a coin—or seek a fourth?" ToDurand, July 17, 1907; "Don't hold it

against me that I am behind; I am work-

ing like a laborer—and making someprogress, in spite of terrible and tiring

setbacks!" Two months later he promises

that "Iberia" will be ready as soon as the

"Rondes de Printemps" the third of the

"Images" is "right and as I wish it."

By Christmas of 1908, the first full draft

of "Iberia" was completed, but the com-

poser was by that time involved in a

project for an opera on Poe's Fall of the

House of Usher, immediately followed by

another operatic project which, like the

first, came to nothing: "The Devil in the

Belfry."

The movements are as follows:

I. "Par les rues et par les chemins" ("In the

streets and byways"). Assez anime (dans unrhythme alerte mais precis)

.

II. "Les parfurns de la nuit" ("The fragrance

of the night") . Lent et reveur.

III. "Le matin d'un jour de fete" ("Themorning of a festival day"). Dans un rhythmede marche lointaine, alerte et joyeuse.

There was a considerable expression of

dissatisfaction with "Iberia" in Paris,

when it was first heard. "Half the house

applauded furiously," reported a news-

paper correspondent, "whereupon hisses

and cat calls came from the other half.

I think the audience was about equally

divided." There was also much critical

disfavor, while certain individuals pro-

nounced roundly in favor of "Iberia."

Manuel de Falla, a Spanish purist whomight well have frowned upon a quasi

Spanish product of France, smiled uponthis piece in an article printed in the

Chesterian:

"The echoes from the villages, a kind

of sevillana—the generic theme of the

work—which seems to float in a clear

atmosphere of scintillating light; the in-

toxicating spell of Andalusian nights, the

festive gaiety of a people dancing to the

joyous strains of a banda of guitars andbandurrias ... all this whirls in the air,

approaches and recedes, and our imagi-

nation is continually kept awake anddazzled by the power of an intensely ex-

pressive and richly varied music. . .," *

* Falla further states that Debussy thus

pointed the way to Albeniz towards the use of

the fundamental elements of popular music,

rather than folk-tunes as such. Vallas points

out that the first part of Albeniz's "Iberia"

suite appeared as early as 1906, and was well

known to Debussy, who delighted in it andoften played it. The last part of the "Iberia"

of Albeniz appeared in 1909, at which time its

composer probably knew nothing of Debussy's

score. Debussy was thus evidently indebted to

Albeniz, for he never made the visit to Spainwhich could have given him material at first

hand. The "realism" which many have foundin Debussy's "Iberia" was not of this sort.

SYMPHONY IN C MINOR, NO. 1,

Op. 68 Johannes BrahmsBorn in Hamburg, May 7, 1833

Died in Vienna, April 3, 1897

It is not without significance that

Brahms required fourteen years to com-plete his First Symphony and that only

in his forty-second year was he ready to

present it for performance and public

inspection. An obvious reason, but only

a contributing reason, was the com-poser's awareness of a skeptical and in

many cases a hostile attitude on the part

of his critics. Robert Schumann hadproclaimed him a destined symphonist,

thereby putting him in an awkward posi-

tion, for that was in 1854 when the

reticent composer was young, unknown,and inexperienced. When two years

later he made his first sketch for a sym-phony, he well knew that when he cameforth with one he would be closely judgedas a "Symphoniker" accused of presum-ing to take up the torch of Beethoven,

whose Ninth Symphony had in the course

of years had nothing approaching a suc-

cessor. Brahms was shaken by this

thought. The most pronounced skeptics

were the Wagnerians who considered the

symphonic form obsolescent. A sym-phony by Brahms would be a challenge

to this point of view. Brahms, hesitant

to place a new score beside the immortalnine, was nevertheless ambitious. Hissymphonic thoughts inevitably tookbroader lines, sturdier sonorities, andmore dramatic proportions than Schu-bert's, Schumann's or Mendelssohn's.

He approached the form cautiously and

by steps, not primarily because he feared

critical attack, but because, being a

thorough self-questioner, he well knewin 1856 that he was by no means ready.

As it turned out, fourteen years was the

least he would require for growth in

character, artistic vision, craft. These

fourteen years give us plentiful evidence

of such growth. From the point of view

of orchestral handling, the stages of

growth are very clear indeed. His first

orchestral scores, the two serenades

(1857-1859), were light-textured, of

chamber proportions as if growing fromthe eighteenth century. The D minorPiano Concerto, completed after a long

gestation in 1858, had grandeur of de-

sign, was at first intended as a symphony,and became in effect a symphonic con-

certo, a score in which the composer

could not yet divorce himself from the

instrument of his long training and im-

merse himself entirely in the orchestral

medium. The Haydn Variations of

1873 show that he had by this time be-

come a complete master of orchestral

writing but indicates that he was not yet

ready to probe beneath the surface of

agreeable and objective lyricism.

Nevertheless the earlier Brahms of

1856, the Brahms of twenty-three, wasalready the broad schemer whose tonal

images were often dark, often wildly im-

petuous. He was then in his "storm andstress" period, when he was deeply dis-

turbed by the misery of the Schumanncouple whom he loved, anxious for the

master in the last stages of his insanity,

concerned for the distraught "FrauClara." This was the openly romantic

Brahms who had not yet acquired a

sobering reserve in his music, who wasat the moment looked upon hopefully byLiszt as a possible acquisition for his

neo-German stronghold at Weimar.

This violent mood found expression in

the D minor Piano Concerto, first con-

ceived as a symphony in 1854. Two years

later, similarly inclined, he sketched whatwas to be the opening movement of the

C minor Symphony. The Concerto re-

quired four years to find its final shape.

The Symphony took much longer be-

cause the composer had far to go before

he could satisfy his own inner require-

ments. Another composer would haveturned out a succession of symphoniesreflecting the stages of his approach to

full mastery. Brahms would not commithimself. It was not until 1872 that hetook up his early sketch to re-cast it andcompose the remaining three movementsby 1876.

The Symphony thus became a sort of

summation of fourteen years of growth.

Some of the early stormy mood was re-

tained in the first movement. The slow

movement and scherzo with their moretransparent coloring were a matured re-

flection of the lyric Brahms of the or-

chestral variations. The finale revealed

the Brahms who could take fire fromBeethoven's sweep and grandeur andmake the result his own. In the sametonality as the Fifth Symphony, Brahms'First begins darkly, proceeds with dra-

matic power, and in the last movementemerges Beethoven-wise, in a resplendent

C major. Brahms was aware that there

would be derisive comparisons. He knew

that the broad hymn-like C major theme

would be called an imitation of the themeof Beethoven's Ode to Joy. The character

was similar, the shape of the notes wasnot. He faced such comparisons know-ing that his Symphony followed but did

not imitate Beethoven—its strength washis own. Its strength was also the

strength of integration, so pervasive that

the movements, traversing the earlier andthe intermediate Brahms, became a co-

herent unity.

Brahms first yielded the manuscript of

his Symphony to Otto Dessoff in Carls-

ruhe on its completion in 1876, to give

himself a preliminary sense of reassur-

ance. He sought the favorable setting of

a small community, well sprinkled with

friends, and nurtured in the Brahmscause. "A little town," he called it, "that

holds a good friend, a good conductor,

and a good orchestra." Brahms' private

opinion of Dessoff, as we know, was nonetoo high. But Dessoff was valuable as a

propagandist. He had sworn allegiance

to the Brahms colors by resigning fromhis post as conductor of the Vienna Phil-

harmonic because Brahms' Serenade in

A major was refused. A few years be-

fore Dessoff at Carlsruhe, there had been

Hermann Levi, who had dutifully im-

planted Brahms in the public conscious-

ness there. The audiences at Carlsruhe

very likely felt honored by the distinction

conferred upon them—and were in equal

degree puzzled by the Symphony itself.

Brahms himself conducted the Sym-phony in Mannheim a few days later, andshortly afterwards in Munich, Vienna,

Leipzig and Breslau. There was no abun-

dance of enthusiasm at these early per-

formances, although Carlsruhe, Mann-heim and Breslau were markedly friendly.

In Leipzig a group of resident adherents

and such loyal visitors from elsewhere

as Frau Schumann, Joachim, and Stock-

hausen gave weight to the occasion,

established at a general rehearsal, andsealed by a post-concert banquet. In

Vienna the work got, on the whole, goodnotices. In Munich considerable hostility

was to be expected, for Munich had be-

come a Wagnerian redoubt. Kalbeckhazards that the applause was "an ex-

pression of relief" when it had at last

ended. The Smyphony reached Englandwhere it was heard in Cambridge on

March 8, under Joachim; London on

April 16.

Brahms had by then won public esteem,

having proved his choral ability with AGerman Requiem, and had enjoyed

marked success with smaller works. Afull-sized symphony was regarded as a

real test. Many found a stumbling block

in the First Symphony, and these in-

cluded some of Brahms' friends, whospoke of disunity in it, and disharmony.

Even Florence May, his adoring ex-pupil

and biographer, wrote of "shrill, clashing

dissonances" in the introduction. Levi,

the conductor who had been his loyal

promoter as conductor at Carlsruhe,

found the middle movements out of keep-

ing with the more weighty and solidly

scored first and last. Only Hans vonBiilow among the current conductors wasan unqualified enthusiast. Time has long

since dissolved lingering doubts and vin-

dicated the initial judgment of the Sym-phony's creator. No doubt the true gran-

deur of the music, now so patent to

everyone as by no means formidable,

would have been generally grasped far

sooner, had not the Brahmisians and the

neo-Germans immediately raised a cloud

of dust and kept their futile controversy

raging for years.

The First Symphony soon made the

rounds of Germany, enjoying a partic-

ular success in Berlin, under Joachim(November 11, 1877). In March of the

succeeding year it was also heard in

Switzerland and Holland. The manu-script was carried to England by Joachimfor a performance in Cambridge (March

8, 1878) and another in London in April,

each much applauded. The first perform-

ance in Boston had taken place January

3, 1878, under Carl Zerrahn with the

Harvard Musical Association. When the

critics called it "morbid," "strained,"

"unnatural," "coldly elaborated," "de-

pressing and unedifying" Zerrahn, wholike others of his time knew the spirit of

battle, at once announced a second per-

formance for January 31.

November 28-29—8:30 p.m.—Constitution HallNovember 30—2:00 p.m.—Lisner Auditorium

The electric young Frenchman, Philippe Entre-

mont, now 27, has been hailed on five continents

as one of the major pianists of our age. Despite his

youth, he is a veteran of the concert stage. Hispresent trans-continental tour of North America is

his eighth.

"Le pianiste atomique," as he has been called

by France-Soir, began his musical studies at the age

of six. He inherited his musical gifts. His mother,

Renee, is a teacher of the piano at the Paris Con-servatoire. His father, also a professor at the Con-servatoire, is a violinist and a conductor of opera in

Monte Carlo, Nice and Strasbourg.

Entremont began collecting prizes and medals at

12, which culminated in his award of the Grand Prix in the Marguerite Long-

Jacques Thibaud International Competition and being named First Laureat at the

age of 17. Also at 17, he made his first professional appearance in Barcelona,

Spain, in 1951. Since then, he has become a veteran of a decade of international

concertizing.
