FROM THE STAGEScott Andrews, Principal Clarinet, on Lutosawskis Dance Preludes:These are tiny
little pieces, less than 10 minutes for all ve movements. I actually played itas my rst solo with the orchestra, along with Pistons Clarinet Concerto, in2007. Its very fun, rhythmic, based on the Polish folk tradition, but withouttaking direct quotations from folk music. He pulls all his rhythms and harmo-nies from that tradition, though.
Lutosawksi wrote this in the 50s, before he composed his Concertofor Orchestra, when he was still borrowing from Polish folk music before hemoved on to less tonal, more aleatoric procedures.
The solo part is simple enough to be played by amateurs and students.
It was originally written for clarinet and piano. Then with orchestration thepiano became more textural, with percussion and harp. He wrote anotherarrangement in the early 60s for chamber ensemble that was not as successful.
I was very excited to hear that Id be doing this with David Robertsonthis season. He has a nice touch with the rhythmic repertoire. Ive done ita number of times with piano in recital, but Im looking forward to exploreagain the orchestral textures. It really changes the piece.

Does genius have a particular age? Is talent that
comes to full fruition later in life any less validthan that which springs forth in youth? Thoseare questions posed by the contrasting compos-ers whose works are presented this weekend.Granted, Mozarts Piano Concerto No. 17, K. 453,is a work from the middle, more or less, of histoo-short life, and the Jupiter Symphony comesfrom the end. But as a boy, he was the prodigyof all prodigies, playing piano at age three, com-posing at ve, and touring Europe not long after.Lutosawski and Tippett, meanwhile, came to theserious study and pursuit of music later in lifeand more as a conscious choice than a preternat-ural outpouring. Yet they, too, became celebratedfor their great works, suggesting that, thoughbrilliance in music may be found while travelingmany different roads, its possible for those roads
to end up at the same destination.
WITOLD LUTOSAWKSIDance Preludes
FATE Wiltold Lutosawski was slow to come intohis full powers as a composer, but the reasons forhis late development were not so much musical
as political.Blame it on the era and milieu of the rst
few decades of his life. Born to a family of Polishlanded gentry in 1913, Lutosawski was still asmall child when, in 1918, his father and unclewere branded as counterrevolutionaries and exe-cuted by the Bolsheviks.
A pianist at age six and violinist at 13,Lutosawski wavered between music and math
studies, but nally took a Conservatory degree inpiano in 1936 and one in composition in 1937.Caught up soon after in World War II, he wascaptured by the Germans but escaped to Warsaw,where he made do not as a composer and classi-cal musician, but rather as a cafe pianist, at onepoint even forming a duo with another aspiringPolish composer, Andrzej Panufnik.

When the Communists took control ofPoland after the war, Lutosawskia modernist atheartsaw his work, notably 1949s SymphonyNo. 1, denounced as formalist and he wasforced to shy away from any experimental ten-
dencies. Instead, he drew inspiration from Polishfolk songs, a move the regime no doubt foundconsiderably more palatable.
FORTUNE As Stalinist restrictions receded in theearly 50s, however, Poland began to thaw cre-atively, and Lutosawski was free to test his wings,rst with his Concerto for Orchestra, which wasbased on folk elements, but also emphasizedform, thusas tactfully as possiblespitting inthe eye of authorities who had held him back.For his part, Lutosawski exuded extreme tact,claiming he had never felt compelled to composein one manner or another. Nevertheless, fromthat point forward, he mostly moved on to morepurely modernist works.
But not before composing his Dance Preludes
(1955), a brief work Lutos
awski referred to ashis farewell to folklore. The piece draws onve northern Polish folk songs (or indeed, folkrhythms, as no specic songs have ever been citedas direct source material). It was commissionedby Tadeusz Ochlewski, the director of PWM Edi-tion in Krakow, who wanted a cycle of folk-basedpieces for violin and piano that would be suitablefor players in secondary schools.
Vexed by composing the work for violin,Lutosawski turned instead to writing for theclarinet and piano. As for the level of skillrequired to play it, he found that a bit off, too.[The Dance Preludes] were appropriate for youngclarinetists, he said, but posed difculties forthe accompanists.
Somehow, the accompanists seem to havemanaged. Lutosawskiwho in later years took
his place among Polands preeminent compos-erssubsequently revised Dance Preludes fororchestra, and it has become one of his most fre-quently performed pieces.

SIR MICHAEL TIPPETTFantasia concertante on a Theme of Corelli
LATE Much like Witold Lutosawski, Britishcomposer Michael Tippett was a late bloomer.
He did not begin to study music seriously untilhis late teens and, also like Lutosawski, was inand out of the musical academyin Tippettscase, Britains Royal Academy of Music. Tippettdid not produce his rst substantial piece untilage 30, and another decade would pass beforeanyone took any real interest in his work.
Good things would come later in life: notjust success and acclaim, starting with his break-
through work, the opera The Midsummer Marriage,but a knighthood as well. Along with BenjaminBritten, Tippett today is recognized as Britainsmost signicant composer since World War II.
SPARK Tippetts Fantasia concertante on a Themeof Corelli was commissioned by the EdinburghFestival in 1953, to celebrate the tercentenary ofCorellis birth. Although Tippett was not particu-larly a fan or student of Corellis work, the com-bination of composer and subject matter was aninspired one, as Tippetts previous works showeda genius for building on elements of earlier stylesto achieve something new and exciting.
For Tippett, the spark that ignited his re forCorelli was a section of the composers Concertogrosso, op. 6, no. 2a solemn Adagio in F minor,
followed by a sprightly Vivace. A dedicated Jung-ian, Tippett saw within the excerpt a concept ofdark and light, which he would strive to recon-cile in nearly all of his lifes work.
Beginning with Corellis Baroque melody, thepiece offers seven variations before moving intoa fugue that cleverly incorporates part of Bachsorgan fugue in B minor, itself built on a musicalsnippet borrowed from Corelli). As the music
grows more lush, it moves thematically fromdarkness to light, climaxes in a rapturous sectionthat recalls his own The Midsummer Marriage, andreturns to Corellis melody from the opening.

WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZARTSymphony No. 41 in C major, K. 551 Jupiter
SPEED If the rapidity with which Mozart wrotethe Piano Concerto No. 17, one of a dozen that
he wrote in the span of two years, is astonishing,the pace at which he composed his nal threesymphoniesNo. 39 in E-at major, No. 40 in Gminor, and No. 41 in C major (a.k.a. Jupiter)ispositively dumbfounding.
All threeeach of them supreme works,among the best and most brilliant symphonies pro-duced by anyone everwere written in the span ofroughly two months in the summer of 1788. And he
did this while the quotidian disasters that plaguedhis life continued apace. He still had to teach; hiswife was ill; one of their children, a daughter, hadrecently died; Viennese society, which once hadcelebrated him, had tired of his work and his grat-ing personality; and he was forever in dire straitsnancially. How was it possible to juggle all of thisat once? It still boggles the mind.
So, too, does the fact that all three sympho-nies were written without a commission or aparticular future performance in mind. The stuffapparently just poured out of him.
LAST The origin of the sobriquet Jupiter isunknown, though it is assumed that the noblesweep of the music, especially the grandeur ofthe rst movement, put listeners in mind of the
Roman king of the gods.The middle two movements are exceptionalas well, but it is the fourth movements nale thatis most beloved and revered. In it, Mozart holdsnothing back, presenting no fewer than six distinctthemes that nally unite in breathtaking fashion.
Mozart could not have known that thiswould be his last symphony, but perhaps it istting that it was. With it, he reached the zenith
of his work, and its hard to imagine where hewould have gone from this point forward. But itsimpossible to say that he wouldnt have found away to top it. Mozart seemingly always managedto take music to a higher level, and might have yetagain had his early death not rendered the ques-tion moot.

PLAYING LUTOSAWSKI:SCOTT ANDREWS, PRINCIPAL CLARINET
Dance Preludes is not difcult techni-cally, although the middle movementies around the instrument, but its
all within reach of many players pos-sibilities. The challenge is rhythmic,although the rhythms are not complex.Being part of folk traditions, rhythmicshifts occur in duples, and triples. Thesoloist goes from 2/4 to 3/4 to 5/4, butthe orchestra doesnt shift, or shifts notas much and not at the same time. Thestrong beats can throw off the interplay
between accompaniment and soloist.Lutosawski throws you a few curves.
A BRIEF EXPLANATIONYou dont need to know what andante means or what a glockenspiel is toenjoy a St. Louis Symphony concert, but its always fun to know stuff. For
example, why is it that the original performances of Mozarts last three greatsymphonies are unknown?
Mozarts lastness:it boggles the mind, as Daniel Durchholz says, that musics rstfreelancer would create such important works without commissionMozartwas a bad businessman, but he wasnt a foolnor did he write about them inhis voluminous letters. There are a number of theories: he wrote SymphonyNos. 39, 40, and 41 for a summer concert series that was cancelled in 1788hewas in a career slump so such a cancellation was not uncommon for him; or,
he planned on taking them to London on a trip with Handel and make moneyfrom a more appreciative audience; or he was waiting to perform them as a longsymphonic sequence. Another theory is based on romantic belief: Mozart wrotethese for himself; they are his most revealing and least commerce drivenhereis Mozart heart, mind, spirit, and soul. As for me, I think theres a musty oldprogram lying in a Viennese attic somewhere. Find it and youve hit the jackpot.
