Twin shadows
The Goddess Fortuna held out one of her hands to Shostakovich and the other to Weinberg. Both were summoned for interrogation by the KGB in the dark times of Stalinist terror. Shostakovich escaped because his interrogator got himself arrested and Weinberg because Stalin died. Their twin fates were sealed forever. Their influence on each other made it impossible to say who had made the greatest impression on the other or who should have been grateful to whom..

“No one has ever known how to interpret so exquisitely in music that sense of resigned and inconsolable sorrow. When Laub played it, I would always hide in the remotest corner of the hall so that no one could see what effect this music had on me.” More than a century ago Tchaikovsky wrote those lines about a work that was already 100 years old and now, more than 200 years later, Mozart’s String Quintet in G minor KV 516 still proves that music is the real language of the soul.

Dmitry Shostakovich (1906—1975):
String Quartet No. 8 in C minor, Op. 110 (1960)
The Borodin quartet came to Shostakovich’s home to play and ask for guidance on his recently finished eighth quartet. They were puzzled by its odd familiarity and asked for advice on how to go about tackling the quotations from the first and fifth symphonies in the first movement, Piano Trio 2 in the second, and Cello Concerto No. 2 in the third, but did not give so much attention to the revolutionary song quoted in the fourth movement nor the reference to the poorly received opera Lady Macbeth. There was no answer. Shostakovich buried his head in his hands and wept. When they had finished playing, they silently packed up and left. They had understood…

In 2018 Debussy had no time left to finish his last project. But he had clearly in mind who his model would be: Rameau. His death in 1918 meant he could not realise his dream – to compose a fourth sonata (in a cycle of 6) for oboe, horn and harpsichord and a fifth sonata for trumpet, clarinet, bassoon and piano. Two masters accepted the challenge. Adès took it on himself to write the fourth sonata and Dalbavie the fifth. As for a sixth sonata, Debussy planned to set it for flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, horn, trumpet, harp, piano, violin, viola and cello and add "the gracious assistance of the double bass”, obviously having the concert on this Wednesday 15 July 2020 in mind.

The Black list
‘Prikaz No. 17' (‘Order No. 17’), covered works whose performance was banned. The effects lasted for several years, and the Sixth Quartet was never performed in Weinberg’s lifetime, despite being republished in 1979. The world premiere would not take place for many years, with the first performance being given by the Quatuor Danel in Manchester, January 2007. Only since then has the Sixth Quartet come to be recognised as one of Weinberg's masterpieces, a work to rival the quartets of Shostakovich.
Dmitry Shostakovich (1906—1975):
March of the Soviet Militia, Op. 139 (1970)
The quartet was written in 1946 and was banned until 2007, when it received its first performance by the Quatuor Danel. In six movements, it’s an eclectic work, contrapuntally rich, dramatic, and pregnant with anxiety and tension, relieved by welcome moments of lyricism and tranquillity. There are whiffs of Klezmer dances, two dazzling scherzo-like movements and a pensive fugue that ends with a stretto It is the kind of profound work which grows on you throughout your life.

Children's concert, the book of courage
Sometimes you must have wondered what it means to be courageous. Of course you know about heroes with swords, arrows, pikes, launchers and armour and other fantastic weaponry to scare away dragons or purple snakes or witches who play church organs at midnight. But you don't need to be a superhero to be courageous. If you look around you, you will see proof of courage and, in most cases, you will see people and children like me and you. Sometimes even little girls or boys, baby mice or butterflies like ZZ, Atka the three-legged crow, pigeons, goldfish or squirrels like Vic. And, of course, they can all speak and sing or play the piano, and even write or draw something at the end of this concert. But not until AFTER the concert… So here is the story of VIC the Singing Squirrel.

The work was premiered in Moscow by the Beethoven Quartet, to whom it is dedicated, in December 1946, largely due to the politically correct renaming of the movements. For the premiere, not to be accused of ‘formalism’ or ‘elitism’, Shostakovich renamed the movements (in the manner of a war report)

Orchestrated in one night by Enescu for the funeral of Queen Carmen Sylva of Romania, it was performed for the first and last time in March 1916, Enescu recalls: ‘I was very sick, in bed with an acute parotitis (mumps) and high fever but I managed to dictate the score to Dimitrie Cuclin who wrote it down in details. A little bit like Mozart dictating his Requiem to Süssmayr…

Heine's review
Finally, a shadow from hell appeared on stage. It was Paganini in his black suit. Or was it a corpse risen from its grave, a violin-wielding vampire sucking, if not our blood, then surely the silver out of our pockets? The scene around him had changed immediately he started to play: it was a bright, shiny, princely place enriched with garlands, lace, fake pearls - like the boudoir of a prima donna. – H. Heine

How to write an overture
Giovanni Paisiello (1740—1816):
Il capitano Cook in Othaiti (arr. Davide Pitis)
I wrote the overture to ‘The Thieving Magpie’ on the very day of the first performance, in La Scala in Milan, where I was sent by an impresario just as bad and almost as bald as Barbaia, and watched over by four stagehands. This quartet of executioners had been ordered to throw my overture, phrase by phrase, out of the window to the copyists waiting in the courtyard below, who would then deliver the parts to the first violins to rehearse. In the event of there being no pages of music to throw into the courtyard, the barbarians had orders to throw me to the copyists.
G. Rossini
Gioacchino Rossini (1792—1868):
Overture from La Gazza Ladra (arr. for piano four hands by Richard Kleinmichel)
Around the very start of 1787, Mozart was welcomed to Prague like few others before him. So the Prague Symphony was composed almost on the spot. And a new opera was commissioned by signor Bondini the impresario almost immediately. Luckily the premiere on October 14 (1888?) was postponed to the 29th because of a singer's illness. Mozart and his librettist Da Ponte worked 25 hours a day to meet the deadline. Mozart even completed the score before da Ponte was finished. On the evening of the 27th (or possibly not until the 28th), da Ponte mentioned to Mozart that the opera needed an overture. The answer was instant: ‘Don’t worry; it’s all here’, he said pointing to his head. Mozart went to his desk (after midnight - no surprise here) and wrote the whole overture directly in the parts without a score of the whole thing! Constanze Mozart kept him awake with punch and poetry reading. The copyist was called at 7 am, precisely when Mozart had finished writing the music.

The Secret history of Sankt Stephan
The registers of birth, marriage and death had been peacefully gathering centuries of dust in the vaults of St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna, until the SS Race and Settlement Main Office sent a Gestapo official, following the annexation of Austria (Anschluss), to check on the Aryan purity of the people registered- living or dead. What he found was likely to undermine racial harmony and compromise the success of the Anschluss. The composer of the Radetzky March – Austria’s second national anthem in practice - was not Aryan! So the official confiscated marriage register number 60 and he took it to the authorities in Berlin. Here all the pages that recorded Strauss's ancestry and Jewish ties were removed and replaced with fake copies before the register was returned to Vienna. These antecedents of Strauss became particularly problematic for the Nazis when they annexed Austria in 1938. Clearly the subjugation of the Austrian nation could not proceed smoothly if the most popular music of the country was suppressed on racial grounds. Besides, Hitler (who was Austrian himself) loved the music of Strauss. Thus, Strauss was efficiently ‘Aryanised’, but the Nazi propaganda machine still had work to do concerning his relatives in Vienna - especially Alice Strauss.
