PETER<br />

SERKIN Piano<br />

Recognized as an artist of passion<br />

and integrity, the distinguished<br />

American pianist <strong>Peter</strong> <strong>Serkin</strong> has<br />

successfully conveyed the essence of<br />

five centuries of repertoire. His inspired<br />

performances with symphony orchestras,<br />

in recital appearances, chamber music<br />

collaborations and on recordings have<br />

been lauded worldwide for decades.<br />

<strong>Peter</strong> <strong>Serkin</strong>’s rich musical heritage<br />

extends back several generations: his<br />

grandfather was violinist and composer<br />

Adolf Busch and his father pianist Rudolf<br />

<strong>Serkin</strong>. He has performed with the world’s<br />

major symphony orchestras, led by such<br />

eminent conductors as Seiji Ozawa,<br />

Pierre Boulez, Alexander Schneider,<br />

Daniel Barenboim, George Szell, Eugene<br />

Ormandy, Claudio Abbado, Simon Rattle,<br />

James Levine, Herbert Blomstedt, Rafael<br />

Frühbeck de Burgos and George Cleve.<br />

A dedicated chamber musician, Mr.<br />

<strong>Serkin</strong> has collaborated with Alexander<br />

Schneider, Pamela Frank, Yo-Yo Ma, the<br />

Budapest, Guarneri, Orion, Shanghai,<br />

and Dover String Quartets and TASHI,<br />

of which he was a founding member.<br />

An avid exponent of the music of<br />

many of the 20th and 21st century’s most<br />

important composers, Mr. <strong>Serkin</strong> has been<br />

4


instrumental in bringing to<br />

life the music of Schoenberg,<br />

Reger, Webern, Berg, Stravinsky,<br />

Wolpe, Messiaen, Takemitsu,<br />

Wuorinen, Goehr, and Knussen<br />

for audiences around the<br />

world. He has performed many<br />

Program Notes<br />

by Howard Posner<br />

Nothing is known about the<br />

origin of the MOZART works on<br />

this program other than what<br />

Mozart wrote on the manuscript<br />

scores, which say the Adagio in B minor<br />

was composed in Vienna in 1788, and the<br />

Sonata in B flat in Vienna in 1789. Those were<br />

difficult years for Mozart. For most musicians<br />

of that time, the key to success and security<br />

was to get a good job in a church or an<br />

aristocratic court. The musician who dealt<br />

directly with the public by staging his own<br />

concerts, publishing his compositions and<br />

teaching privately was still a rarity. Mozart<br />

had settled in the capital in 1782 and<br />

prospered in the life of a free-lance musician<br />

and concert impresario, and his career in<br />

Vienna showed both the advantages and<br />

disadvantages of going solo. Within a few<br />

years the Mozarts could afford expensive<br />

lodgings and servants, but his concert<br />

business began to wane, and when the Holy<br />

Roman Empire went to war with the Ottoman<br />

Empire in 1788, it caused a recession that<br />

hit Mozart particularly hard because many<br />

of the aristocrats who were his clientele left<br />

the city. He was unwilling to cut back his<br />

expenditures enough to match his reduced<br />

income, probably figuring that the problem<br />

was only temporary, and he could revive his<br />

fortunes by looking abroad if necessary. In<br />

the long run, he would doubtless have been<br />

proved right, but the turnaround had barely<br />

begun when he died in 1791.<br />

The Emperor himself became concerned<br />

that Mozart would leave Vienna, and in<br />

December 1787 appointed him Imperial<br />

Chamber Composer. This was a prestigious<br />

position (it was vacant only because Christoph<br />

Willibald Gluck, the previous holder, had<br />

died) but not a full-time job. Mozart styled<br />

himself “Kapellmeister” because of it, but<br />

the only firm duty was writing dances for<br />

Imperial balls. Mozart did indeed go looking<br />

for prospects elsewhere, making a mid-<br />

1789 trip to Berlin (where he hoped for<br />

commissions or employment from the musicloving<br />

king of Prussia), Leipzig, and Dresden,<br />

but returned to Vienna with nothing to show<br />

for the journey.<br />

The Adagio in B minor was published<br />

the year it was composed. It is an intense<br />

and adventurous work in sonata form,<br />

characterized by yearning, eerie chromatically<br />

altered harmonies. Parts of the development<br />

come unmoored tonally, with unsettling<br />

modulations that would be at home in a work<br />

written a century later.<br />

Mozart wrote the Sonata in B flat, his<br />

penultimate <strong>piano</strong> sonata, just before he set<br />

off for Berlin in 1789. It is far more relaxed<br />

in spirit and far less compositionally bold<br />

than the Adagio, staying well within the 18th<br />

century. Although it would seem to be a more<br />

accessible, and therefore more saleable,<br />

work than the B minor Adagio, it was not<br />

until five years after Mozart died that it was<br />

published (with a spurious violin part that<br />

adds nothing musically: music publishers<br />

catered to amateurs who wanted music to<br />

play socially, and if a work that complete as<br />

a <strong>piano</strong> solo but could also accommodate<br />

a violin, or violin and cello, it was doubly<br />

marketable)<br />

The slow movement is a rondo, in which<br />

the contrasting episodes are set aside more<br />

by changes in key than changes in mood. The<br />

finale has been described as “rondo of sorts,”<br />

with one less repetition of the first section<br />

than normal (it’s missing from the middle of<br />

the movement). The movement is full of wry<br />

humor, and has passages where it doesn’t<br />

take much imagination to hear the <strong>piano</strong><br />

laughing.<br />

Unlike the two Mozart works, BACH’S<br />

TITANIC SET OF VARIATIONS has a wellknown<br />

origin story, even if that story is<br />

probably a complete myth.<br />

Bach published very little of his music.<br />

Publication was routine in Mozart’s day was<br />

routine, but it could be an expensive and<br />

time-consuming process in the mid-18th<br />

century, and Bach must have known that<br />

his music had such a reputation for being<br />

difficult to play that it would be a tough<br />

sell. But there was a vogue for published<br />

collections of keyboard music titled Clavier-<br />

Übung (Keyboard Practice), and Bach, the<br />

musicians’ musician par excellence, thought<br />

fit to throw his hat into the ring with four<br />

Clavier-Übung volumes of his own. The fourth<br />

volume, printed in Nuremberg in 1742, was<br />

titled:<br />

Keyboard Practice,<br />

consisting of an Aria<br />

with Diverse Variations<br />

for the Harpsichord with 2 Manuals<br />

Composed for Music Lovers, to Refresh the<br />

Spirits, by<br />

Johann Sebastian Bach<br />

Royal Polish and Electoral Saxon Composer,<br />

Capellmeister, and<br />

Director Chori Musici in Leipzig<br />

7


The Aria with Diverse Variations has<br />

become known as the Goldberg Variations<br />

because of a story that Johann Nicolaus<br />

Forkel related in On Johann Sebastian<br />

Bach’s Life, Genius and Works, the first<br />

book-length Bach biography. According<br />

to Forkel, Bach wrote the variations for<br />

the Russian ambassador to the court of<br />

Saxony in Dresden, Count Hermann Karl von<br />

Keyserlingk, who “often stayed in Leipzig,”<br />

where Bach lived and worked as music<br />

director for three Lutheran churches and<br />

principal of the church-affiliated choir school.<br />

The ambassador brought with him his court<br />

harpsichordist, Johann Gottlieb Goldberg, “to<br />

have him given musical instruction by Bach.<br />

The count was often ill and had sleepless<br />

nights. At such times, Goldberg, who lived<br />

in his house, had to spend the night in an<br />

antechamber, so as to play for him during<br />

his insomnia. The count once told Bach that<br />

he would like to have some clavier pieces<br />

for Goldberg, which should be of such a<br />

smooth and somewhat lively character that<br />

he might be a little cheered up by them in<br />

his sleepless nights.” Bach obliged, and the<br />

ambassador was so pleased with the set<br />

of variations Bach supplied that he “always<br />

called them his variations. He never tired of<br />

them, and for a long time sleepless nights<br />

meant: ‘Dear Goldberg, do play me one of<br />

my variations.’ Bach was perhaps never so<br />

rewarded for one of his works as for this. The<br />

count presented him with a golden goblet<br />

filled with 100 louis-d’or.”<br />

The story has aroused much doubt. For<br />

one thing, nobody has any idea where Forkel<br />

got it. His biography dates from 1802, more<br />

than 60 years after the fact and 50 years after<br />

Bach’s death, and there is no known source<br />

for the story before that. Forkel relied on<br />

Bach’s two eldest sons for other anecdotes,<br />

but there is no evidence that either of them<br />

mentioned it. Even if Bach composed the<br />

variations just before sending them to the<br />

printer, Goldberg would have been no older<br />

than 14 in 1741 (he died of tuberculosis<br />

in 1756, so Forkel could not have gotten<br />

the story from him). The variations bear no<br />

dedication to the ambassador, which would<br />

be very much against social convention—and<br />

thus unspeakably rude on Bach’s part—if<br />

the ambassador had commissioned them.<br />

There is no gold goblet mentioned in the<br />

detailed inventory of Bach’s estate. There is<br />

no evidence that Bach ever taught Goldberg.<br />

And it would have been very odd for the<br />

ambassador to the Dresden court to spend<br />

so much time in Leipzig, where it would<br />

take three days to learn about, and respond<br />

to, any development in Dresden. Writers<br />

of history and biography in Forkel’s day<br />

tended to be inclusive rather than skeptical,<br />

so even a conscientious writer like Forkel<br />

might pass along apocrypha without<br />

vetting it.<br />

Still, Forkel’s story has hung on, and<br />

has even created the impression among<br />

the more impressionable that the Goldberg<br />

Variations should be somehow soporific in<br />

nature: an extended lullaby.<br />

Bach would have had a more obvious<br />

purpose: illustrating the full range of<br />

technical and musical resources possible on<br />

the keyboard. He began with an aria based<br />

on elaboration of the bass line known at the<br />

time as the chaconne—which descends (G-F<br />

sharp-E-D) then ascends (B-C-D-G)—then<br />

8


composed thirty variations over that bass<br />

line.<br />

There are ten groups of three<br />

variations. In the first nine groups, the<br />

third variation is a canon, in which the<br />

second voice imitates the first voice<br />

strictly. The first canon is “all unisono”<br />

(the second voice enters on the same<br />

note as the first) but the voices enter one<br />

note further apart in each succeeding<br />

canons. So in Variation 6, the first voice<br />

begins on a G and the second voice<br />

enters “alla Seconda” on the A one note<br />

higher. In Variation 9, “Canona alla Terza,”<br />

the first voice begins on a B and the<br />

second voice on the G a third lower, but<br />

the second voice is “inverted”: it ascends<br />

wherever the first voice descends and<br />

vice versa, as if it’s the first voice written<br />

upside down. In every canon but the last,<br />

Variation 27, the voices imitating each<br />

other in canon are accompanied by a<br />

freely composed bass line. This sort of<br />

composition is a something of a game<br />

between the composer and the player<br />

looking the score (and the game could<br />

get weird: composers were fond of puzzle<br />

canons, in which they might write one<br />

line and let the player figure out that the<br />

second voice is the first one upside down<br />

and backwards, perhaps with the aid of a<br />

cryptic verbal hint) so the concert listener<br />

hearing it for the first time, or the tenth, is<br />

unlikely to figure out what the rules are.<br />

Some variations, typically the second in<br />

the group of three, are free counterpoint<br />

of the sort that Bach elsewhere called a<br />

two-part invention. Bach’s contemporaries<br />

would have heard dance rhythms in some<br />

variations, such as the gigue in Variation 11<br />

and the minuet in Variation 19.<br />

Variation 10 is a short fugue. Variation<br />

16 is a full-blown French Overture, with a<br />

stately pompous opening leading to a fugal<br />

second section.<br />

Variation 30, the only third variation<br />

that is not a canon, is a quodlibet, in which<br />

at least three folk songs (there could be<br />

more; modern scholars have not been<br />

able to identify all the melodic strains)<br />

superimposed on each other. This is both<br />

a compositional stunt and the innest of<br />

in jokes. Forkel wrote that the Bach and<br />

his relatives had annual family reunions<br />

devoted to music, in which they would start<br />

by singing hymns, move on to songs that<br />

were “partly comic and partly naughty,” and<br />

then finally improvise quodlibets.<br />

Some of the variations feature more<br />

purely virtuosic showing off than we’re used<br />

to getting from Bach, and it’s so hard not<br />

to hear the influence of Domenico Scarlatti<br />

in the scampering and hand-crossings in<br />

Variations 14, 20, 23 26 and 28 that some<br />

Bach scholars assume Bach had studied<br />

Scarlatti’s 30 Essercizi, the only publication of<br />

Scarlatti’s harpsichord music during Bach’s<br />

(or Scarlatti’s) lifetime. It came out in 1738,<br />

which meant that Bach would have had to<br />

get his hands on it soon after it came out.<br />

There is no actual evidence that he did, but<br />

Bach was an avid devourer of music by any<br />

composer he thought he might learn from.<br />

It would have entirely in character for him to<br />

immerse himself in the latest cutting-edge<br />

keyboard music and reflect that immersion<br />

in his epic essay of keyboard possibilities. n<br />

Presenting the world’s finest classical artists since 1919<br />

“I think too often<br />

people think of the<br />

arts as decoration to<br />

the experiences of life,<br />

sort of a frosting on<br />

the cake. But to me,<br />

the arts are essential<br />

to understanding the<br />

problems of life, and to<br />

helping us get through<br />

the experiences of life<br />

with intelligent understanding<br />

and grace.”<br />
