Tradition

Future

FA L L 2 0 1 5

In our 137th season, we continue to showcase traditional performances
alongside contemporary artists for an offering that is unlike anything
available in the Midwest. UMS grew from a group of local members of the
University and townspeople in the 1870s who gathered together for the
study of Handel’s Messiah. Led by Professor Henry Simmons Frieze and
conducted by Professor Calvin Cady, the group assumed the name The
Choral Union. Many Choral Union members were also affiliated with the
University, and the University Musical Society was established soon after in
December 1880.
Since that first season, UMS has expanded greatly and now presents the
very best from a wide spectrum of the performing arts: internationally
renowned recitalists and orchestras, dance and chamber ensembles, jazz
and global music performers, and contemporary stagework and classical
theater. Through educational programming, the commissioning of new
works, youth programs, artist residencies, and collaborative projects, we
continue to strengthen our reputation for artistic distinction and innovation.

post-career because of UMS. Who wouldn’t want to live in a

so many enthusiastic audiences? Now, we enjoy each season
all the more because, as donors, we’re an active part of UMS.
What a privilege!”

WHY THIS PROGRAM AND
REPERTOIRE…?
We asked Leif Ove Andsnes why he
chose this repertoire and what he was
thinking about when he constructed
this program:
First, this is all music I love!
I try to put together programs
that are contrasting, and often I like
to include pieces that might not be
familiar, even to music lovers. In
tonight’s program, the Sibelius pieces
and maybe, also, the Debussy studies,
belong to that category.
Sibelius is not known for his piano
music, so here I am on a little bit of
a mission to introduce this music to
general audiences. The Beethoven
sonata is new to me this season, and
I have had such pleasure in learning
this work which is so full of charm,
humor, and vitality. Personally,
Debussy and Chopin belong to the
same world, although inhabiting
very different tonal languages. It is
a sensual sensation for my hands to
play this music, so perfectly fit for the
piano. And one can play with colors
and phrasings endlessly.
The last piece in the program,
Chopin’s fourth ballade, is undoubtedly
one of his great masterpieces. It’s a
work made of heartbreaking melodies
and harmonies, full of suffering. And
one of his most complex scores — the
polyphony is overwhelming, and it
shows his love for Bach.
— Leif Ove Andsnes

Born December 8, 1865 in Hämeenlinna, (Russian-occupied) Finland
Died September 20, 1957 in Järvenpää, Finland
UMS premieres: Kyllikki, Five Pieces for Piano, and Five Esquisses have never
been performed on UMS concerts.
Snapshots of History…In 1904:
· Henry Ford sets a new automobile land speed record of 91.37 mph
· American musician and bandleader Count Basie is born in August
· The first underground line of the New York City Subway opens
Snapshots of History…In 1914:
· Ford Motor Company announces an eight-hour workday and a daily
wage of $5
· World War I: Antwerp (Belgium) falls to German troops
· Charlie Chaplin makes his film debut in the comedy short Making a Living
Snapshots of History…In 1929:
· Karl Benz, the creator of the first automobile, dies
· The Dow Jones Industrial Average peaks at 381.17, a height it will not
reach again until 1954
· The first Academy Awards are presented in a 15-minute ceremony at the
Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel

Kyllikki is a three-movement suite
that takes its title from the Kalevala,
the great Finnish epic poem that
inspired so many of Sibelius’s works.
Kyllikki was the name of a girl whom
Lemminkäinen, the roguish hero of
the epic, abducted and took home to
his village to be his wife. According to
the story, he promised her not to go to
war again as long as she promised not
to go to village dances. But one day
when Lemminkäinen was late coming
home from fishing, Kyllikki broke
her vow and went to a village dance.
Furious, Lemminkäinen left her
behind and went off to war, ending

up in Pohjola where he wooed the
beautiful Daughter of the North...
The connection between the
Kalevala story and Sibelius’s music
is unclear. On one occasion, the
composer even denied that there
was any connection at all; however,
he kept the title. It doesn’t seem
too much of a stretch to relate the
tempestuous first movement, with
its nervous tremolos and wayward
modulations, to the abduction scene,
the brooding second movement
to a portrait of the unhappy wife,
or the light-hearted polonaise
rhythms of the last movement to
5

Lemminkäinen’s departure in search
of new adventures.
Critics have charged that some of
Sibelius’s shorter piano works are
little more than “salon music.” That
is certainly not true of the five
pieces about trees published as Op.
75, which are quite innovative both
harmonically and structurally. They
date from 1914, a time in Sibelius’s
career marked by a major artistic
renewal in the wake of the modernistic
Fourth Symphony of 1911.
Of the five pieces of Op. 75, No. 4
(“Björken,” or “The Birch”) portrays
a tree that is particularly beloved
in Finland, populated by vast birch
forests. The first tree to grow in
the North after the end of the last
ice age, it was associated in Nordic
mythology with spring, love, and
fertility. Sibelius repeats an upbeat
melody three times, each time with
more embellishments; the ending
is surprising in its tonal ambiguity.
(In his 2007 monograph on Sibelius,
Andrew Barnett writes: “It is as
though we are looking at the reflection
of the tree in rippling lake water.”)
The last piece of the cycle (“Granen,”
or “The Spruce”) is a valse triste,
revisiting the character of one of
Sibelius’s most famous works a
decade later. Surprisingly, the waltz
is interrupted, half-way through, by a
brief passage of fast arpeggios, after
which the valse triste returns.
1929 was the last year from which
there is any surviving music by
Sibelius (he was still working on his
Eighth Symphony after that year,
but the symphony was eventually
destroyed). The Five Esquisses
(Sketches), Op. 114, are his final work
6

for piano. Surprisingly, they were
turned down by the publisher Carl
Fischer in New York and were not
printed until 1973.
Here is another nature cycle set
in the forest — perhaps Sibelius’s
more peaceful answer to Schumann’s
Waldszenen, Op. 82, from a distance of
80 years. Unlike Schumann, Sibelius
lived surrounded by trees in Ainola,
the home he inhabited for more than
half a century, and the trees provided.
His last orchestral work, the tone
poem Tapiola (1926), was also inspired
by the great forests of Finland.
The titles of the individual Esquisses
are given in Finnish, not in Swedish as
before. No. 3 (“Mätsalampi,” or “Forest
Lake”) is a Romantic reverie that is
interrupted by a brief flourish, as if
we suddenly woke up with a start,
only to sink back into the dream.
No. 4 (“Mätsalaulu,” or “Song in the
Forest”) continues this contemplative
mood, with the inclusion this time of a
lyrical, songful melody in the middle.
No. 5 (“Kevätnäky,” or “Spring Vision”),
in a more traditional style, brings the
set to an idyllic close.

(“THE HUNT”) (1802)
Ludwig van Beethoven
Born December 16, 1770 in Bonn, Germany
Died March 26, 1827 in Vienna
UMS premiere: Adele aus der Ohe; February 26, 1890 at University Hall.
Snapshots of History…In 1802:
· Elias Lönnrot, Finnish folklorist and philologist who created the Finnish
national epic, the Kalevala, is born
· US Patent and Trademark Office established
· William Wordsworth composes the poem “Westminster Bridge” in London
· Ludwig van Beethoven publishes his Piano Sonata No. 14 (“Moonlight”)
in Vienna
Around the time he penned his
intensely moving Heiligenstadt
Testament, the famous un-mailed
letter in which he poured out his
heart about his encroaching deafness,
Beethoven told his pupil Carl Czerny:
“I am not very well satisfied with the
work I have done thus far. From this
day on I shall take a new path.” That
“new path” is readily apparent in the
three piano sonatas published as Op.
31, which include, in addition to the
sonata heard tonight, another highly
innovative piece in G Major and the
famous “Tempest” Sonata (d minor).
These sonatas are novel even in
the way they open: instead of fully
formed phrases that get a certain
steady motion going, each begins
somewhat hesitatingly, with motivic
elements whose connection becomes
obvious only gradually. The E-flatMajor sonata doesn’t even state its
tonality clearly at the beginning; the
key is not established until the end of
the phrase, reached after a number of
surprising interruptions. Beethoven

devised a special technique called
“fragmentation” which consists,
essentially, in isolating the
components of a theme and working
with them individually. In the present
case, this results in an alternation
between “bouncing” and “singing”
episodes throughout the movement.
The second movement is called
scherzo but is very different from
most Beethoven scherzos: it is in
duple, not triple meter, and lacks a
central trio section. A lively melody
with a jaunty accompaniment
undergoes a rather eventful motivic
development, with frequent harmonic
displacements typical of Beethoven.
In most cases, the scherzo
movement was a substitute for the
minuet dance that was part of many
multi-movement instrumental works
by Haydn and Mozart. In this sonata,
Beethoven chose to retain both and to
follow his innovative scherzo with a
gentle minuet that takes a nostalgic
look at the past, but does so with quite
a few interesting modern twists.
7

The finale is a perpetual motion
in the rhythm of the tarantella,
originally a dance of southern Italian
origin. The fast dance is enlivened by
hand-crossings, abrupt key changes,
and powerful accents, and ends, true
to form, with a series of playful spinoffs on the main theme, cut off by a
few powerful concluding chords.

ÉTUDES (EXCERPTS) (1915)
Claude Debussy
Born August 22, 1862 in St. Germain-en-Laye, nr. Paris
Died March 25, 1918 in Paris
UMS premieres: “La soirée dans Grenade,” by pianist Josef Hofmann; February 10,
1920 at Hill Auditorium. “Étude No. 7” by pianist György Sándor; September 24,
1963 at Hill Auditorium. “Étude No. 11” by pianist Monique Haas; July 10, 1967
as part of the Fourth Annual Summer Concert Series at Rackham Auditorium.
“Étude No. 5” has never been performed on a UMS concert.
Snapshots of History…In 1903:
· The first west–east transatlantic radio broadcast is made from the
US to England
· First Tour de France bicycle race takes place
· Mark Rothko, Latvian-born painter, is born
Snapshots of History…In 1915:
· Kiwanis is founded in Detroit, as The Supreme Lodge Benevolent
Order Brothers
· The US House of Representatives rejects a proposal to give women the
right to vote
· The 1 millionth Ford car rolls off the assembly line at the River Rouge
Plant in Detroit

For a long time, French composers
were fascinated by the sounds of
Spain, and they even taught their
southern neighbors how to use their
own musical heritage to create truly
innovative music around the turn of
the last century. Both Isaac Albeniz
and Manuel de Falla spent time in
Paris where they met Claude Debussy
and Maurice Ravel, who had merged
the Spanish idioms with their own
impressionistic harmonic idiom and
pianistic style. It was an example
from which the Spaniards could (and
did) learn a great deal.
Debussy composed the three
movements of Estampes (Engravings)

in 1903 for the superb Catalan pianist
Ricardo Vines who lived in Paris
and who was a prime exponent of
new music at the time. Like the later
Preludes or Ravel’s Miroirs, Estampes
is a set of pieces inspired by visual
images. The Spanish movement,
“La soirée dans Grenade” (Evening
in Granada) is the second in the set.
It is a fantasy on the rhythm of the
Habanera dance in which, in the words
of French music specialist Roger
Nichols, “[he] threw together a series
of impressions and out of their friction
grows an understandable excitement.”
The 12 Études may be regarded
as Debussy’s last will and testament
9

for the piano. The last of his many
sets of piano works, they sum up 20
years of intense involvement with
the instrument as a composer and a
performer. In his earlier piano works,
such as the Estampes, the Images, and
especially the 24 Preludes, Debussy
had revolutionized the technique of
the piano and created a new sound
whose influence few 20th-century
composers were able to resist.
Similarly to the Preludes, Debussy’s
etudes re-invented a genre which had
become practically synonymous with
the work of Chopin. In fact, Debussy
had been working on a new edition of
the Chopin etudes for the publisher
Jacques Durand shortly before
composing his own set. The year
was 1915; World War I was raging in
Europe, and Debussy was showing the
first signs of a fatal illness that would
claim his life three years later. For
Debussy, it was a time of reckoning
and re-assessing his relationship with
the musical past. Besides Chopin, he
became deeply involved with French
music of the past, especially the
keyboard works of François Couperin.
His last completed compositions — for
the first time in his life, he composed
three sonatas — show a distinct neoclassical tendency that is evident
in the Études as well, even though
harmonically and technically this is
certainly the most innovative of his
piano cycles.
One of the most interesting aspects
of the Études is precisely this duality
of tradition and innovation. Literally,
an “etude” (study) is an exercise
that serves to develop a player’s
technical skills; as Debussy wrote to
his publisher, he intended to “prepare
pianists to understand better that
10

one can only enter into music with
efficient hands.” Accordingly, he
concentrated on traditional technical
issues such as the playing of various
parallel intervals (thirds, fourths,
sixths, octaves), or other challenges
including ornaments, repeated notes,
and chords. Yet as in Chopin’s etudes,
what really matters is what is beyond
technique, and it is here that Debussy
points to the future, creating an evermore refined world of piano sound
and occasionally stretching tonality
almost to the breaking point.
Mr. Andsnes will play three of the
12 etudes at this evening’s concert.
In “Étude No. 7” (pour les degrés
chromatiques [for the chromatic
degrees]), Debussy placed the chromatic
runs over a jaunty, dance-like theme in
the left hand, giving the entire etude a
playful, light-hearted character.
“Étude No. 11” (pour les arpèges
composés [for complex arpeggios])
glorifies the broken chord, that
mainstay of pianistic technique used
and sometimes abused by composers.
In this piece there are slow arpeggios,
fast arpeggios, pentatonic and
diatonic ones, and hardly a measure
goes by without one; yet it seems
that arpeggios are not really what
the etude is all about. They should
not detract our attention from the
beautiful romantic melodies that — in
the middle section — suddenly make
way for a fleeting memory of popular
entertainment music of the time, for
a moment recalling “Minstrels” from
the first book of Preludes.
“No. 5” (pour les octaves [for the
octaves]) is a tempestuous piece
which one commentator has called “a
Debussyan vision of the style of the
valse-caprice.” It is based on variants

of a single melodic motif, developed
first in full harmonies and later in
one voice, with alternating hands.
Before the end — in a slightly slower
tempo — the octaves are combined
with a short legato melody, before the
music regains its initial speed for the
powerful final bars.

Died October 17, 1849 in Paris
UMS premieres: Impromptu in A-flat Major, Op. 29 by pianist William H.

pianist/composer himself from the stage. There is no reliable historical record
as to which ballade was performed.)

Chopin published three works for solo
piano under the title “Impromptu.” The
three do not form part of a set but are,
rather, three separate compositions,
written at different times — unlike
the Schubert impromptus, which
came in two groups of four. (A fourth
Chopin impromptu, the so-called
12

“Fantaisie-impromptu,” was published
posthumously.) The word “impromptu”
does not designate a specific musical
form but rather stands for a short
work carried by a steady rhythmic
motion and — in three of the four
Chopin impromptus — in A-B-A form.
In the A-flat-Major work, the

earliest of the impromptus, the
lively triplets of the beginning are
contrasted with a more relaxed
melody, which receives some lavish
ornamentations before yielding to
the returning triplets.
After the two celebrated sets of
etudes (Op. 10 and Op. 25, with 12
etudes in each set), Chopin composed
three more etudes for an anthology
edited by Ignaz Moscheles and
François-Joseph Fétis, to which Liszt,
Mendelssohn, and many others also
contributed etudes. Those by Chopin
later became known as Trois nouvelles
études (Three New Etudes); the A-flatMajor etude we are going to hear this
evening is the second of the three. It
is a rhythmic study in “three against
two”; that is, the right hand plays
groups of triplets while the left hand
plays eighth-notes. The challenge is
to keep both kinds of motion going
simultaneously for the entire duration
of the etude.
The nocturne, as a genre of piano
music characterized by long, lyrical
melodies in a slow tempo and
accompanied by gentle arpeggios, was
invented by Irish composer John Field.
In Chopin’s hands, it became much
more than that: by his unique sense
of harmony and ornamentation, the
Polish master turned the nocturne
from simple diversion into a profound
emotional utterance.
In the early F-Major nocturne,
the accompaniment is made up of
repeated notes in triplet rhythm,
whose detached character conflicts
with the cantabile (singing) melody
in the right hand. Surprisingly, the
piece has an extended middle section
in f minor, marked Con fuoco (With
fire) and completely un-nocturne-

like; it is followed, of course, by a full
recapitulation of the cantabile melody.
The last of Chopin’s four ballades
is one of the composer’s culminating
achievements — unique in the way
it modifies classical musical form
to express a whole new world of
emotions. Some of the other ballades
have been linked, at least putatively,
to the ballads of the great Polish
poet Adam Mickiewicz, but no such
programmatic interpretation has
ever been put forth with regard to
the f-minor ballade. It is truly a “story
without words:” the narrative is
abstract, which does not make it any
less powerful.
The main theme of the ballade,
arriving after a brief introduction,
keeps repeating the same short melodic
idea, but each repeat adds something
new and carries the “narrative”
forward. The ornamentation becomes
more and more elaborate, and there
is a gradual crescendo that finally
attains fortissimo level. At this point,
there is a 180-degree turn in the
music: a second theme is introduced.
The volume becomes soft again, the
melody simple with a straightforward
chordal accompaniment. This theme
is developed and intensified in its turn
before the first theme is heard again
with even more dazzlingly virtuosic
variations than earlier. A second
climax is reached, much more dramatic
than the first. Then a group of quiet
and mysterious chords leads to the
tempestuous closing section.

UMS ARCHIVES
This evening’s recital marks Leif Ove Andsnes’s fourth appearance under UMS
auspices. Mr. Andsnes made his UMS debut in January 1997 as piano soloist
in Rachmaninoff’s Concerto for Piano and Orchestra, No. 3 with the Detroit
Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Neeme Järvi at Hill Auditorium.
Mr. Andsnes most recently appeared in January 2006 as conductor/piano
soloist with the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra in a program of Mozart and
Beethoven at Hill Auditorium.

ARTISTS
The New York Times has called Leif
Ove Andsnes “a pianist of magisterial
elegance, power, and insight.” With his
commanding technique and searching
interpretations, the celebrated Norwegian
pianist has won acclaim worldwide.
This fall sees the release of Concerto
— A Beethoven Journey, a documentary
by award-winning British director and
filmmaker Phil Grabsky that chronicles
Mr. Andsnes’s The Beethoven Journey:
his epic four-season focus on the
master composer’s music for piano and
orchestra, which took him to 108 cities
in 27 countries for more than 230 live
performances. Highlights of the coming
season also include major European and
North American solo recital tours with a
program of Beethoven, Debussy, Chopin,
and Sibelius, as well as Schumann and
Mozart concerto collaborations with the
Chicago, Cleveland, and Philadelphia
Symphony Orchestras, Bergen
Philharmonic, Zurich Tonhalle, Leipzig
Gewandhaus, Munich Philharmonic, and
London Symphony Orchestra. The pianist
also looks forward to touring Brahms’s
Three Piano Quartets with his frequent
musical partner, Christian Tetzlaff,
together with Tabea Zimmermann and
Clemens Hagen.
Last season brought the conclusion
of The Beethoven Journey, perhaps Mr.
Andsnes’s most ambitious achievement to
date. With the Mahler Chamber Orchestra
he led complete Beethoven concerto
cycles from the keyboard in high-profile
residencies in Hamburg, Bonn, Lucerne,
Vienna, Paris, New York, Shanghai, Tokyo,
Bodø, and London. The partnership was
also captured on disc by Sony Classical
with both the New York Times and
Suddeutsche Zeitung hailing the final box

set release as the “Best of 2014.”
Mr. Andsnes now records exclusively for
Sony Classical. His previous discography
comprises more than 30 discs for EMI
Classics spanning repertoire from the
time of Bach to the present day. He has
been nominated for eight Grammy Awards
and awarded many international prizes,
including six Gramophone Awards.
Mr. Andsnes has received Norway’s
distinguished honor, Commander of the
Royal Norwegian Order of St. Olav. In 2007,
he received the prestigious Peer Gynt
Prize, awarded by members of parliament
to honor prominent Norwegians for their
achievements in politics, sports, and
culture. He is the recipient of the Royal
Philharmonic Society’s Instrumentalist
Award and the Gilmore Artist Award, and,
saluting his many achievements, Vanity
Fair named Mr. Andsnes one of the “Best of
the Best” in 2005.
Leif Ove Andsnes was born in Karmøy,
Norway in 1970, and studied at the
Bergen Music Conservatory under the
renowned Czech professor Jirí Hlinka.
He has also received invaluable advice
from the Belgian piano teacher Jacques
de Tiège who, like Hlinka, has greatly
influenced his style and philosophy of
playing. He currently lives in Bergen and
in June 2010 achieved one of his proudest
accomplishments to date, becoming
a father for the first time. His family
expanded in May 2013 with the welcome
arrival of twins.
