At the heart of every Festival is the music. A rich variety of exciting, moving
and thought-provoking classical chamber music, performed by the eleven worldclass musicians who are Ensemble 360. Together with their guests, they present
inspiring concerts in the intimate setting of the Crucible Theatre’s Studio, where the
audience is only ever a few feet away from the performers.
Beethoven Revisited
Our Artistic Director, Angus Smith,
introduces our May Festival 2016
“Picture to yourself the dirtiest, most disorderly place
imaginable – blotches of moisture covering the ceiling; an
oldish grand piano, on which the dust vies for a place with
various pieces of music; under the piano an unemptied
chamber pot; beside it a small walnut table and a quantity of
pens encrusted with ink; then more music.”
These words of Baron de Tremont, written in
1809, introduce the focus of our 2016 May
festival – Ludwig van Beethoven. As always, the
music is the foundation of the event, and what
music this is! But we relish the opportunity
to consider many facets of this extraordinary
man – his imagination, his invention and his
personality. And from there it is natural to
consider the world he lived in, his impact on his
contemporaries, and the legacy that has passed
to followers.

Ensemble 360 present not just a comprehensive
survey of Beethoven’s music, but also a programme
that is full of thrilling and dramatic twists and turns
and which embraces a wonderful array of pieces
by numerous other composers whose lives have
been touched by Beethoven. We are also joined by a
glittering line-up of guests: old friends the Vertavo
String Quartet, Julian Joseph, Roderick Williams,
Benjamin Frith and the Avison Ensemble feature
alongside an unmissable newcomer – Harry the
Piano!

Ensemble 360 launch the May Festival with two sparkling works for seven players. Beethoven’s
irresistible and vivacious Septet, premiered in 1800 together with the 1st Symphony, achieved
rapid and enduring popularity and was subsequently arranged for numerous instrumental
combinations for performance by amateur musicians. The work’s success was paradoxically a
continual irritation to Beethoven as he believed the piece came to overshadow many of his more
ambitious works.

George Onslow was a French composer, descended from English aristocracy, writing music in a
Germanic style. He came to composing music for wind instruments late in his career – the Septet
was first performed in 1850 – but this disarmingly charming and lyrical piece is just one of a
number of pieces for seven players by French composers including Adolphe Blanc and Louise
Farrenc that pay tribute to Beethoven’s masterful Septet.

BEETHOVEN Symphony No.3 in E flat Op.55 Eroica
arranged HUMMEL
In an age well before recording, broadcasting and the internet,
and when it would often be difficult or even impossible to attend
symphonic concerts, how was music circulated so that everyone
could share the experience? One answer was to create portable
editions of great pieces, suitable for amateur musicians to play
for personal enjoyment in the comfort of their own homes.
The task of producing and playing such editions should not
be underestimated: musical training and a discerning ear
were essential for the preparation of the scores, and often
few concessions were made to performing ability. The Eroica
Symphony was arranged by, amongst others, Czerny, Schubert,
Ries and Liszt, but for today’s concert Ensemble 360 have chosen
the sophisticated and sparkling flute quartet arrangement by
Johann Nepomuk Hummel.

“Roderick Williams is a national
treasure…his approach to the English
Romantic song repertoire is revelatory.”
BBC Music Magazine
Based on Leo Tolstoy’s searing tale of a conversation on a train
in which a man confesses to killing his wife while in a state of
obsessively jealous rage, Laura Wade’s critically acclaimed play
brings to the fore two voices that are not heard in the original
novella – those of the violinist and the murdered woman. The
immediacy of interwoven words and music amplifies the intensity
of this bitter and tragic love-triangle to fever-pitch levels.
The wild elements of Beethoven’s Kreutzer Sonata immediately
evoke the turbulent passion embedded in Tolstoy’s story, while
Janáček’s portrayal of “the suffering of a woman, beaten and
tortured to death” is evident in the composer’s tormented
writing. This promises to be a riveting evening of musical and
theatrical drama.

BEETHOVEN String Quartet in C sharp minor Op.131
We are delighted to present a major new piece by award-winning composer
Howard Skempton, based on Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s epic tale of tragedy
and salvation. In the composer’s words, “the aim has been to be true to the
character of Coleridge’s haunting, sometimes visionary poem. The piece
proceeds at a steady pace, and lasts about thirty-five minutes.”
The figure of Beethoven towers over classical
music and this concert features music by one
of the many composers who have paid homage
to the master. Bela Bartók’s tribute in his first
quartet takes the form of imitating the structure
of Beethoven’s wonderful Op.131 quartet,
although the sound-world is very much that of
a young composer who has already achieved
his own mature and individual style, notably
through the appearance of folk-inspired themes.
Although he was one of the most original composers of all, Beethoven
enthusiastically studied the works of his peers and elders. Haydn’s
‘Divertimenti’ are rarely performed, although they are full of the
graceful, easy charm that runs through so much of his chamber
music. Beethoven’s Quintet for Piano and Winds is clearly written in
the full knowledge of Mozart’s earlier work for the same instrumental
combination, yet it also has an improvisational element that pushes
at conventional boundaries. It is particularly remarkable that, in a
work written so late in his life, Beethoven’s use of fugal writing in
his Op.131 string quartet looks back reverently to an even earlier
master, J.S. Bach.
The violinist Mark Steinberg has noted that the abruptness in the opening of
Beethoven’s Op.59 No.2 quartet mirrors the stark and compelling opening
lines of Coleridge’s poem, transfixing the listener as resolutely as the
wedding guest stopped by the mariner who “cannot choose but hear.”

HOFFMEISTER Partita No.2 Echo
BEETHOVEN Serenade in D Op.25 for flute, violin and viola
BEETHOVEN Sextet in E flat Op.71 for 2 horns, 2 clarinets
and 2 bassoons
“Serenade: A musical form, contemporary with and related
to other mid-18th-century orchestral genres including the
symphony and the orchestral partita. The term originally
signified a musical greeting, usually performed out of doors
in the evening, to a beloved or a person of rank.”
The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians
The Serenade was not only an immensely popular musical
form but it was also of significance and importance in the
development of modern chamber music. This light and airy
work by Beethoven is hugely entertaining and is partnered
with two other notably lively works. Beethoven’s Sextet was
written for Maximilian Franz, Archbishop and Elector of
Mainz – allegedly as an aid to digestion! – and Franz Anton
Hoffmeister’s ‘Echo’ Partita contains a joke of which Haydn
would have been proud.

compositions from two towering figures in the development
of the symphony, Johann Stamitz and Mozart.

Revolution… or evolution? There are certain composers and pieces of
music that are paraded as examples of turning points in music and
one of these is Arnold Schoenberg, ‘father of modern music’. Yet there
is a natural trajectory that stretches from Bach through Beethoven,
Brahms, Wagner and Strauss that arrives at Verklärte Nacht,
Schoenberg’s supremely lush and gloriously romantic ‘chamber music
tone poem’ written just before the composer’s departure towards new
harmonic horizons.
Robert Schumann proclaimed that Brahms would be the
torch-carrier of Beethoven and, such was the young man’s
regard for the great master, a marble bust of Beethoven
occupied pride of place in his music studio. It may be
that it was the weight of expectation that inspired the
young Brahms to write this beautiful sextet, deliberately
choosing an instrumental combination that would avoid
obvious comparison with Beethoven’s incomparable
symphonies and quartets.

The poem ‘Transfigured Night’ was written by Richard Dehmel and

Webern’s short but intense and expressive miniature

It is quite surprising to discover that a composition that is
considered by such eminent authorities as Alfred Brendel and
Hans von Bülow to be one of the greatest ever achievements
in solo piano writing should have been created from an
inconsequential piece of music that was once dismissed
by Beethoven himself as a ‘cobbler’s patch’. From such
unpromising material Beethoven crafted a magisterial work of
just under an hour’s duration that embraces humour, allusion
and parody, while maintaining an extraordinary coherence
across the whole of its ambitious structure.
For those who enjoy a true pianistic ‘tour de force’, and also for
everyone who enjoyed Tim Horton’s complete Beethoven piano
sonata cycle, this is a performance that is not to be missed.

weeks before beginning to work on the trio in
earnest and he told the author Thomas Mann that
the music that emerged reflected his physical and
psychological suffering in that period.
Beethoven’s String Quintet in E flat is a major
re-writing of an earlier wind octet – conceived
as light-hearted entertainment rather than as a
serious concert work – that was not published
until after the composer’s death. This revised
version shows Beethoven’s growing maturity: it is
significantly longer than the original yet it comes
across as a much more concise, compact and
engaging piece.

BEETHOVEN String Quartet Op.74 Harp
(Vertavo String Quartet)
SCHUBERT String Quintet in C D.956
(Ensemble 360 & Bjørg Lewis CELLO)
Beethoven’s Op.74 String Quartet has a reputation for being a ‘light and
genial’ work that marks it out from the ‘more serious Beethoven’, but
this only tells part of the story. Outer movements of smooth and placid
character encompass intensely passionate and rough inner movements.
It is astonishing to think that Schubert’s final, majestic composition –
his String Quintet in C – was not heard in public until 22 years after
the composer’s death. In choosing a second cello as a fifth instrument
Schubert diverged from the quintet examples of Mozart and Beethoven,
but there can be no doubt that the extra sonority of another low
instrument adds an extraordinarily profound and rich layer of sound.

BEETHOVEN 7 Variations on Bei Männern, welche
Liebe fühlen (Mozart) WoO 46 for double bass and piano
BEETHOVEN String Trio in E flat Op.3
The ‘Opus’ numbers of Beethoven give an incomplete
picture of his compositional output. Numerous pieces
that remained unpublished were only discovered after
his death and it appears that many of these works – now
catalogued with WoO (without opus) numbers – were held
back for having been written for entertainment rather
than enrichment. The lively and enchanting variations
on Pamina and Papageno’s charming duet from Mozart’s
opera The Magic Flute are delightful.
The String Trio in E flat Op.3 was modelled on
Mozart’s Divertimento K.563 and was Beethoven’s first
composition for string ensemble. As with so many of
Beethoven’s works, the piece underwent numerous
revisions before arriving at its final, effortlessly fluent
version.

the art of
improvisation
“His extemporisations were the most
extraordinary things one could hear. No artist
that I ever heard came at all near the height
which Beethoven attained.”
Ferdinand Ries, friend, pupil and secretary of Beethoven
Over the course of 2016 Music in the Round is
exploring improvisation in classical music. Once
considered an essential skill in the armoury of
composers and performers, our Friday evening
features a great modern improviser and works
such as fantasies and variations designed as
‘written down improvisations’.
Other Festival events drawing on this theme
include Harry the Piano (see page 8) on
Saturday 7 May.
“Remember that Bach, Beethoven and Mozart
were great improvisers. I can hear that in their
music.”

HAYDN String Quartet in E flat Op.76 No.6
Beethoven’s ‘Fantasy’ Op.77 gives the strong impression of a
composer temporarily throwing off the restraints of form and
convention – the word, and the idea, clearly appealed to successors
such as Schubert, Schumann, Liszt and even Schoenberg, who
allowed himself in his own Phantasy to abandon formal structure
in favour of ‘so-called free-form’. In this short work, Schoenberg
successfully packs in an extraordinary range of virtuoso effects.
The random rhythmic tricks that appear designed to throw off
both the audience and the players in the ‘Fantasia’ movement
of Haydn’s Op.76 No.6 Quartet is just one of the many features
that gives this work a deliciously unpredictable and exuberant
character.

BEETHOVEN String Quartet in A minor Op.132
This is not a misprint! We are delighted to welcome the
contemporary jazz pianist, composer, arranger and
band leader Julian Joseph to the Studio Theatre to share
his vision of one of Beethoven’s greatest works. His
credentials in the classical world are impressive: recitals
at Wigmore Hall, a repertoire that includes Bartók,
Prokofiev, Stravinsky and Poulenc, and collaborations
with artists such as the violinist Viktoria Mullova.
Absorbing these influences and the music of other
genres, he has developed his own unique voice that
displays an immediate and irresistible jazz perspective.
We can expect a version of this great Beethoven quartet
that is born out of complete respect and which comes
alive with infectious commitment and passion.

Peter Cropper on the Beethoven String Quartets
We are delighted to welcome John Suchet to the
Studio for a talk that sheds light on the many
facets of Beethoven’s complex personality. This
is a portrait of a great composer that adds colour,
depth and understanding to our appreciation of
the musical achievement of an extraordinary man.
Praise for John Suchet’s biography of Beethoven:
“By exercising a genuine authority in identifying
how Beethoven, the man, manifests himself in
our appreciation of the music, Suchet brings an
incisive freshness to an extraordinary life.”

Three Marches Op.45
8 Variations in C on a Theme by Count Waldstein WoO 67
Grosse Fuge in B flat Op.134
Witnessing a piano four-hands recital can be compared
to experiencing the cut and thrust of a major sporting
event, except with added musical sensitivity! Tim Horton
and Benjamin Frith join their considerable forces for the
energetic, sometimes humorous Three Marches, and the
sparkling variations on Count Waldstein’s theme. And then
comes Beethoven’s own epic arrangement of the Grosse
Fuge…
Tickets*: £11 / £7.50 Disabled & Unemployed /
£5 Students & Under 35s
This concert is generously supported by James and Angela Kellie.
“…the Great Fugue is more than a piece; it’s a
musicological Holy Grail, a vortex of ideas and
implications. It is the most radical work by the
most formidable composer in history.”
Alex Ross, The New Yorker
BEETHOVEN String Quartet Op.95 Serioso
HANDEL Trio Sonata Op.2 No.2
SCHUBERT Octet D.803
Ensemble 360 bring the Festival to a close with a flourish of glorious music, moving
from deep despair to unalloyed joy.
Beethoven’s Serioso quartet was written at a bleak time in Beethoven’s life as failing hearing, poor health and
financial insecurity all bore down on him, although the seething atmosphere and melancholy nature of the music
eventually give way to a wild almost manic exuberance.
The comparisons in the genesis of Beethoven’s Septet (see page 5) and Schubert’s Octet are numerous and clearly
more than a coincidence. Both can be described as being in the spirit of entertaining Divertimenti – written as
pure entertainment and for diversion rather than profundity – and the construction of the individual movements
of Schubert’s Octet clearly follow the pattern of the Septet. Yet for all the signs of respect and admiration, is it just
possible that in adding an instrument and exceeding the great master in the length of the piece, that Schubert was
even trying to surpass Beethoven?
Tickets*: £17.50 / £12 Disabled & Unemployed / £5 Students & Under 35s
“Beethoven’s music opens the realms of the
colossal and the immeasurable. It evokes terror,
fright, horror and pain, and awakens that endless
longing which is the essence of romanticism.”
