PROGRAM NOTES

Frederick the Great 1712-1786Frederick II was King of Prussia

from 1740 until 1786, the longest reign of any Hohenzollern king. His most significant accomplishments during his reign included his military victo-ries, his reorganization of Prussian armies, and his patronage of the arts. Frederick was an amateur flute play-er and prolific composer of music for orchestra and flute. He was known for his “Soirees” at Sans Souci Palace in Potsdam, on outside Berlin during which the greatest musicians of the day performed. He was a major spon-

sor of Johann Joaquim Quantz, the most famous flute player of the day. He is buried at the palace along with his favorite hunting dogs.Born: January 24, 1712, BerlinDied: August 17, 1786, Potsdam,

Kingdom of PrussiaSpouse: Elisabeth Christine

of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel- Bevern (m. 1733-1786)

Brother: George II of Great BritainParents: Sophia Dorothea of Ha-

nover, Frederick William I of Prussia

Johann Sebastian Bach 1685-1750Ludwig van Beethoven’s only vi-

olin concerto is truly iconoclastic, and it shattered conventional notions of what an early Romantic concerto could be. Instead of using the concer-to as a vehicle to show off the solo-ist’s technique, Beethoven recreated the genre, giving the soloist plenty of opportunities to display their talents with music full of depth and innova-tion. Beethoven composed the Violin Concerto during a highly productive period that stretched from 1804 to 1806. During this time, Beethoven wrote some of his best-known music, including the Fourth Piano Concerto, the “Razumovsky” string quartets, the Fourth and Fifth symphonies, and the “Appassionata” Piano Sonata.

Franz Clement, the 21-year-old music director and concertmaster of the Theater an der Wien, commis-sioned the Violin Concerto. After the premiere, Clement made suggestions for revisions to the solo part, and Bee-thoven’s manuscript shows a number of corresponding alterations. Contrary to convention, Beethoven did not write a cadenza – the extended unaccompa-

nied solo passage usually found at the end of the first movement – where the soloist demonstrates their technical and artistic skill. Presumably Clement improvised a cadenza at the premiere.

Beethoven finished the concer-to just two days before the premiere, which meant Clement had to sight-read the opening performance. Although it was beautiful – and staggeringly dif-ficult to play – the lack of adequate rehearsal gave the Violin Concerto a bad reputation that took 30 years to overcome. In 1844, 12-year-old violin virtuoso Joseph Joachim played the concerto at his debut with the London Philharmonic. Joachim pored over the score, memorized the entire piece, and composed his own cadenzas in prepa-ration. The hard work paid off, as one reviewer noted, “[Joachim] is perhaps the first violin player, not only of his age, but of his siècle [century]. He per-formed Beethoven’s solitary concer-to, which we have heard all the great performers of the last twenty years at-tempt, and invariably fail in … its per-formance was an eloquent vindication of the master-spirit who imagined it.”
