In 2023, one of the masters of modern music would have turned 100 years old. György Ligeti helped to open up completely new musical landscapes with his works from the 1960s onwards, and his status as an absolute icon and as an innovator in the history of music is completely indisputable. Ramifications are for string players who almost sound like a single string instrument. The work is an eight-minute maggi-cube of string sound that you never thought the old instruments could sound like. After the celebration of Ligeti's 100 years, two works of older date follow. First, a Haydn symphony with the nickname "The Hen", which is a charming symphony that did not get its nickname from Haydn himself, but because someone later thought that one of the themes in the first movement sounds like chickens walking and clucking and twitching head back and forth. 

After the break comes Schubert's great Symphony No. 9. A work that Schubert never heard performed by a professional orchestra, but the slightly younger composer Robert Schumann got hold of the manuscript in 1838 – 10 years after Schubert's death – and arranged for the symphony to be performed with a completely third composer, Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, as conductor. Even after his death, the work was rarely performed because the orchestras of the time judged it unnecessarily difficult to play, and so the four movements together last about an hour. Fortunately, we are better used to orchestras today, so Schubert's thoroughly beautiful and grandiose 9th Symphony sounds in all concert halls around the world.

 

You can read what Katrine Nordland wrote about Schubert's 9th Symphony, the last time we played the work, here:

As is well known, Schubert's life (1797-1828) was even shorter than Mozart's - and unlike his great predecessor, Schubert only achieved more widespread recognition in his very last years. Before then, an uncanny amount of his music was simply allowed to fall through the cracks (unpublished works flourished freely among Schubert's friends and colleagues, who often forgot to return the manuscripts to Schubert, and the original score for the adventure opera  Des Teufels Lustschloss was e.g. used as kindling fuel by a friend's host). Vienna's Gesellschaft für Musikfreunde, to which Schubert belonged, probably had the best intentions of performing the C major symphony while the composer was still alive, and had also paid the composer a modest fee for the work, but abandoned plans after a few performances , because it was considered too difficult. And it was therefore not until more than a decade after the composer's death that tonight's symphony was first performed. One of the standard-bearers for the dissemination of Schubert's genius beyond his established reputation as a naïvely sweet songwriter, Robert Schumann, traveled to Vienna in 1838 to ascertain for himself how many unpublished Schubert manuscripts were still in the possession of Schubert's brother Ferdinand. He took a copy of the score for the 9th Symphony back to Leipzig with him,

"He who does not know this symphony still knows little about Schubert", declared Schumann. At the end of the evening, we can look forward to having become even more knowledgeable about the composer Schubert.

I 2023 ville en af den moderne musiks mestre være blevet 100 år. György Ligeti var med til at åbne til helt nye musikalske landskaber med sine værker fra 1960’erne og frem, og hans status som absolut ikon og som nyskaber i musikhistorien er helt uomtvistelig. Ramifications er for strygere, der nærmest kommer til at lyde som et eneste strygeinstrument. Værket er en otte-minutters maggi-terning af strygerlyd, som man aldrig troede de gamle instrumenter kunne lyde. Efter fejringen af Ligetis 100 år følger to værker af ældre dato. Først en Haydn-symfoni med tilnavnet ”Hønen”, der er en charmerende symfoni, som ikke har fået sit tilnavn af Haydn selv, men fordi nogen senere mente, at et af temaerne i første sats lyder som høns, der går og klukker og rykker hovedet frem og tilbage. Men det skal man ikke tage sig af – nyd bare den klare musikalske tanke og det fine menneskelige overskud, som denne symfoni lyser af. 

Efter pausen kommer Schuberts store Symfoni nr. 9. Et værk, som Schubert aldrig hørte opført af et professionelt orkester, men den lidt yngre komponist Robert Schumann fik i 1838 – 10 år efter Schuberts død – fat i manuskriptet og fik foranstaltet, at symfonien blev opført med en helt tredje komponist, Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, som dirigent. Selv efter hans død blev værket sjældent opført, fordi datidens orkestre bedømte det unødigt svært at spille, og så varer de fire satser tilsammen omkring en time. Heldigvis er vi bedre vant med orkestre i dag, så Schuberts helt igennem smukke og grandiose 9. Symfoni klinger i alle koncertsale verden over.

 

Du kan læse, hvad Katrine Nordland skrev om Schuberts 9. symfoni, sidst vi spillede værket, her:

Schuberts liv (1797-1828) blev som bekendt endnu kortere end Mozarts – og i modsætning til sin store forgænger opnåede Schubert først mere udbredt anerkendelse i sine allersidste år. Inden da fik en uhyggelig mængde af hans musik simpelthen lov at falde gennem sprækkerne (uudgivne værker florerede frit blandt Schuberts venner og kollegaer, der ofte glemte at aflevere manuskripterne tilbage til Schubert, og originalpartituret til eventyroperaen Des Teufels Lustschloss blev f.eks. brugt som optændingsbrændsel af en vens husvært). Wiens Gesellschaft für Musikfreunde, som Schubert tilhørte, havde godt nok de bedste intentioner om at opføre C-dur-symfonien, mens komponisten stadig var i live, og havde også betalt et beskedent honorar til komponisten for værket, men opgav planerne efter et par gennemspilninger, fordi den blev betragtet som for svær. Og det blev derfor først mere end et tiår efter komponistens død, at aftenens symfoni fik sin uropførelse. En af bannerførerne for udbredelsen af Schuberts geni hinsides hans etablerede ry som en naivt sødmefuld sangskriver, Robert Schumann, rejste i 1838 til Wien for ved selvsyn at konstatere, hvor mange uudgivne Schubert-manuskripter, der stadig var i Schuberts bror Ferdinands besiddelse. Han tog en kopi af partituret til den 9. symfoni med sig tilbage til Leipzig, hvor han præsenterede det for Felix Mendelssohn, som følgelig uropførte symfonien med sit Gewandhausorchester i marts 1839.

”Den, der ikke kender denne symfoni, ved endnu kun lidt om Schubert”, erklærede Schumann. Vi kan glæde os til ved aftenens slutning at være blevet indtil flere dimensioner klogere på komponisten Schubert for.
