Emmanuel Music - Beethoven Chamber Concert IViolin Sonata No. Sonatas for Piano and Violin that Beethoven completed by the time he returned from Heiligenstadt to Vienna in the middle of October 1. Cast in three movements, the overall mood is one of grace, poise, delicacy and warmth. In contrast to the sudden musical outbursts of the other two violin sonatas of Op. One of the characteristics of this new style was the complete saturation of melody and accompaniment; the genesis of all musical material being a simple rhythmic or melodic kernel that permeates an entire movement. Most of the violin line and both hands of the piano are variations derived from either the quick turn figure or the flowing quarter- note motive introduced at the outset.

I do not want to suggest that this Adagio could be called religious music, I am only thinking in both cases of the expression of infinite tenderness and sorrow, whether put into sound or carved in stone. Beethoven crafted a new, gentler theme for a more unassuming subject for the set of variations that closes this elegant sonata. This was one of five settings by Beethoven of works by Reissig in that year. Beethoven would turn to the work of Reissig two more times after 1. Perhaps Beethoven has found a kindred spirit in Reissig, as the text of Der Liebende mourns unrequited love. This complaint to the turtle dove who robs the lamenting lover of oblivion in sleep is filled with eloquent harmonic and melodic details: the dark chord that enshrouds the “verschlossene Brust” is one, and so too is the huge outcry against love in mid- song and again near the end, before the song sinks to its mournful end. Beethoven met Christoph August Tiedge, the poet whose . Beethoven concert) in the summer of 1. The text comes from Urania: On God, Immortality, and Freedom in six cantos which refers to the muse of astronomy and astrology, and, from the Renaissance on, the muse of Christian poets as well (. In October of that year, Beethoven wrote to Tiedge with a request for a new copy of Urania because he could not locate one; Tiedge obliged with a new edition from 1. Beethoven found in it five additional lines with which to begin his second, thoroughly reconceived setting of An die Hoffnung, published as Op. This introduction puts Hope in a different context from the earlier version because it begins with one of the Enlightenment’s foremost questions: ! The introduction has a key signature but is so thoroughly shot through with chromaticism and enharmony that we do not know where we are tonally (or metaphysically)–until the end, when the certainty of Hope brings us to a lighter, sweeter place. In this extended setting, the invocation of midnight and Fate is accompanied by Beethoven’s . The aria- like song ends with a final soft acclamation to Hope. In 1. 80. 9 Beethoven eagerly accepted a commission to write a score for Goethe’s 1. Egmont. The play, only a mild success, dealt with the most illustrious victim of Spanish tyranny in the Netherlands, treacherously seized by the Duke of Alba and executed in Brussels. Freudvoll und Leidvoll, Op. Clara, Egmont’s fictional love. Variations on . Such pieces were important as well for displaying pianistic effects and instrumental virtuosity. However, the variations show none of the harmonic exploration or motivic manipulation characteristic of the sonata, and are quite conventional, clearly steeped in Classical era proportions and symmetry. What follows are ten variations with clever, even sly, transformations that give solo turns to each of the three instruments. Leonard Stein was a direct link to Schoenberg, and to all of the performers and composers of the Second Viennese School. He was also constantly alert to everything that was happening in concert music bringing his wit, critical intelligence, passion, and high standards to bear, in his disarmingly informal style. Just his voice on the phone could make the day—when he called to celebrate his mutual birthday with Rose Mary Harbison, or just to report west- coast news, with his unique blend of enthusiasm and scepticism. During one of his appearances at the Token Creek Festival, Leonard was delighted to discover our tradition of making anagrams from names of the summer’s composers and performers. Leonard Stein (and Arnold Schoenberg) yielded nice results. When I began this piece, I found, in Leonard’s hand, six of them, based on his name, which he had discovered the old (pre- computer way) repositioning the letters, crossing out each one he’d used. Naturally, I’ve used all six of his . At least four interesting ones didn’t go in, held perhaps for another piece. These short movements, which are interrelated, use no letter- to- pitch correspondences. They react to the movement titles, assembling fleeting images of Leonard, present and absent.
