In addition to extensive concert series in this country, Charles Munch has taken
the Orchestra on three foreign tours: to Europe in 1952, a second European tour in
1956 when the Orchestra was the first western orchestra to perform in the Soviet
Union, and an eight-week tour of the Far East in Japan, Taiwan, The Philippines,

His book I Am a Conductor was published in Paris in 1954 and in translation

A busy orchestra since its first season of 1881-1882 when 83,359 persons
attended twenty concerts and twenty public rehearsals, the Boston SymphonyOrchestra now has a fifty-week season in which 221 concerts are given. This is the
longest concert season of any privately supported orchestra in the world.
The Orchestra presents five different series in Boston's Symphony Hall during
the 31 -week winter season plus five series in other cities and approximately twenty
tour concerts, then the Boston Pops and the free open-air Esplanade Concerts with

ELEGY TO THE MEMORY OF MYKOUSSEVITZKY, Op. 44
Howard Hanson has composed this Elegy for
the 75th anniversary of the Boston SymphonyOrchestra, and it was performed by this Orches-tra January 20-21, 1956. It was conducted byCharles Munch at a memorial concert in the
Berkshire Festival, on August 13, 1961. It wascommissioned by the Orchestra and the Kous-sevitzky Music Foundation. The orchestra re-
quired includes 2 flutes and piccolo, 2 oboesand English horn, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones and tuba, harp,timpani and strings.
The Elegy opens with an expressive
melody presented by the strings, at first
canonically, and in 3/4 time. This
melody, varied in development, is the
basis of the piece. A section in 4/4rhythm opening in the winds reaches a
climax of intensity and subsides to a
return of the original tempo ( teneramente
con simplicitd) to a pianissimo ending.
FRIEND, SERGE Howard HansonBorn in Wahoo, Nebraska, October 28, 1896
Howard Hanson's parents, Hans andHilma Hanson, were of Swedish descent.
First taught by his mother, Mr. Hansoncontinued his studies in Luther College
and the University School of Music of
his native State. He studied composition
at the Institute of Musical Art in NewYork with Percy Goetschius, and later
at the Northwestern University School of
Music at Evanston, under C. Lutkin andArne Oldberg. Taking his degree in
1916, he taught at the College of the
Pacific in San Jose, California. In 1921
he was elected to a three-year fellow-
ship in composition at the AmericanAcademy in Rome. Returning to Amer-ica in 1924, he was appointed director of
the Eastman School of Music of the Uni-
versity of Rochester, New York, the posi-
tion which he now holds.

April 21, 1911, by the Boston Symphony Orches-
tra, Max Fiedler, conductor.
The instrumentation requires 3 flutes andpiccolo, 2 oboes and English horn, 3 clarinets,
3 bassoons and contra-bassoon, 4 horns, 3
trumpets, 3 trombones and tuba, timpani, tam-
bourine, castanets, military drum, cymbals,
xylophone, celesta, bells, two harps and strings.
Debussy wrote to Durand, his pub-
lisher, on May 16, 1905, of his plan to
compose a set of "/mages" (a conven-
iently noncommittal title) for two pianos,
to be called L "Gigues Tristes" II.
"Iberia," III. "Valses (?)" Before long
the project had become an orchestral one,
and the questioned "Valses" had been
dropped. The two orchestral pieces were
expected for the summer of 1906. Theywere not forthcoming. The musician
who could once linger over his scores
at will, rewriting, refining, repolishing,
while the world cared little, was nowthe famous composer of "Pelleas." Pub-
lishers, orchestras, were at his doorstep,
expectant, insistent, mentioning dates.
Debussy was still unhurried, reluctant to
give to his publisher a score which might
still be bettered. He wrote to Durandin August of 1906: "I have before methree different endings for 'Iberia ; shall
I toss a coin—or seek a fourth?" ToDurand, July 17, 1907; "Don't hold it
against me that I am behind; I am work-
ing like a laborer—and making someprogress, in spite of terrible and tiring
setbacks!" Two months later he promises
that "Iberia" will be ready as soon as the
"Rondes de Printemps" the third of the
"Images" is "right and as I wish it."
By Christmas of 1908, the first full draft
of "Iberia" was completed, but the com-
poser was by that time involved in a
project for an opera on Poe's Fall of the
House of Usher, immediately followed by
another operatic project which, like the
first, came to nothing: "The Devil in the
Belfry."
The movements are as follows:
I. "Par les rues et par les chemins" ("In the
streets and byways"). Assez anime (dans unrhythme alerte mais precis)
.
II. "Les parfurns de la nuit" ("The fragrance
of the night") . Lent et reveur.
III. "Le matin d'un jour de fete" ("Themorning of a festival day"). Dans un rhythmede marche lointaine, alerte et joyeuse.
There was a considerable expression of
dissatisfaction with "Iberia" in Paris,
when it was first heard. "Half the house
applauded furiously," reported a news-
paper correspondent, "whereupon hisses
and cat calls came from the other half.
I think the audience was about equally
divided." There was also much critical
disfavor, while certain individuals pro-
nounced roundly in favor of "Iberia."
Manuel de Falla, a Spanish purist whomight well have frowned upon a quasi
Spanish product of France, smiled uponthis piece in an article printed in the
Chesterian:
"The echoes from the villages, a kind
of sevillana—the generic theme of the
work—which seems to float in a clear
atmosphere of scintillating light; the in-
toxicating spell of Andalusian nights, the
festive gaiety of a people dancing to the
joyous strains of a banda of guitars andbandurrias ... all this whirls in the air,
approaches and recedes, and our imagi-

nation is continually kept awake anddazzled by the power of an intensely ex-
pressive and richly varied music. . .," *
* Falla further states that Debussy thus
pointed the way to Albeniz towards the use of
the fundamental elements of popular music,
rather than folk-tunes as such. Vallas points
out that the first part of Albeniz's "Iberia"
suite appeared as early as 1906, and was well
known to Debussy, who delighted in it andoften played it. The last part of the "Iberia"
of Albeniz appeared in 1909, at which time its
composer probably knew nothing of Debussy's
score. Debussy was thus evidently indebted to
Albeniz, for he never made the visit to Spainwhich could have given him material at first
hand. The "realism" which many have foundin Debussy's "Iberia" was not of this sort.
SYMPHONY IN C MINOR, NO. 1,
Op. 68 Johannes BrahmsBorn in Hamburg, May 7, 1833
Died in Vienna, April 3, 1897
It is not without significance that
Brahms required fourteen years to com-plete his First Symphony and that only
in his forty-second year was he ready to
present it for performance and public
inspection. An obvious reason, but only
a contributing reason, was the com-poser's awareness of a skeptical and in
many cases a hostile attitude on the part
of his critics. Robert Schumann hadproclaimed him a destined symphonist,
thereby putting him in an awkward posi-
tion, for that was in 1854 when the
reticent composer was young, unknown,and inexperienced. When two years
later he made his first sketch for a sym-phony, he well knew that when he cameforth with one he would be closely judgedas a "Symphoniker" accused of presum-ing to take up the torch of Beethoven,
whose Ninth Symphony had in the course
of years had nothing approaching a suc-
cessor. Brahms was shaken by this
thought. The most pronounced skeptics
were the Wagnerians who considered the
symphonic form obsolescent. A sym-phony by Brahms would be a challenge
to this point of view. Brahms, hesitant
to place a new score beside the immortalnine, was nevertheless ambitious. Hissymphonic thoughts inevitably tookbroader lines, sturdier sonorities, andmore dramatic proportions than Schu-bert's, Schumann's or Mendelssohn's.
He approached the form cautiously and

by steps, not primarily because he feared
critical attack, but because, being a
thorough self-questioner, he well knewin 1856 that he was by no means ready.
As it turned out, fourteen years was the
least he would require for growth in
character, artistic vision, craft. These
fourteen years give us plentiful evidence
of such growth. From the point of view
of orchestral handling, the stages of
growth are very clear indeed. His first
orchestral scores, the two serenades
(1857-1859), were light-textured, of
chamber proportions as if growing fromthe eighteenth century. The D minorPiano Concerto, completed after a long
gestation in 1858, had grandeur of de-
sign, was at first intended as a symphony,and became in effect a symphonic con-
certo, a score in which the composer
could not yet divorce himself from the
instrument of his long training and im-
merse himself entirely in the orchestral
medium. The Haydn Variations of
1873 show that he had by this time be-
come a complete master of orchestral
writing but indicates that he was not yet
ready to probe beneath the surface of
agreeable and objective lyricism.
Nevertheless the earlier Brahms of
1856, the Brahms of twenty-three, wasalready the broad schemer whose tonal
images were often dark, often wildly im-
petuous. He was then in his "storm andstress" period, when he was deeply dis-
turbed by the misery of the Schumanncouple whom he loved, anxious for the
master in the last stages of his insanity,
concerned for the distraught "FrauClara." This was the openly romantic
Brahms who had not yet acquired a
sobering reserve in his music, who wasat the moment looked upon hopefully byLiszt as a possible acquisition for his
neo-German stronghold at Weimar.
This violent mood found expression in
the D minor Piano Concerto, first con-
ceived as a symphony in 1854. Two years
later, similarly inclined, he sketched whatwas to be the opening movement of the
C minor Symphony. The Concerto re-
quired four years to find its final shape.
The Symphony took much longer be-
cause the composer had far to go before
he could satisfy his own inner require-
ments. Another composer would haveturned out a succession of symphoniesreflecting the stages of his approach to
full mastery. Brahms would not commithimself. It was not until 1872 that hetook up his early sketch to re-cast it andcompose the remaining three movementsby 1876.
The Symphony thus became a sort of
summation of fourteen years of growth.
Some of the early stormy mood was re-
tained in the first movement. The slow
movement and scherzo with their moretransparent coloring were a matured re-
flection of the lyric Brahms of the or-
chestral variations. The finale revealed
the Brahms who could take fire fromBeethoven's sweep and grandeur andmake the result his own. In the sametonality as the Fifth Symphony, Brahms'First begins darkly, proceeds with dra-
matic power, and in the last movementemerges Beethoven-wise, in a resplendent
C major. Brahms was aware that there
would be derisive comparisons. He knew

that the broad hymn-like C major theme
would be called an imitation of the themeof Beethoven's Ode to Joy. The character
was similar, the shape of the notes wasnot. He faced such comparisons know-ing that his Symphony followed but did
not imitate Beethoven—its strength washis own. Its strength was also the
strength of integration, so pervasive that
the movements, traversing the earlier andthe intermediate Brahms, became a co-
herent unity.
Brahms first yielded the manuscript of
his Symphony to Otto Dessoff in Carls-
ruhe on its completion in 1876, to give
himself a preliminary sense of reassur-
ance. He sought the favorable setting of
a small community, well sprinkled with
friends, and nurtured in the Brahmscause. "A little town," he called it, "that
holds a good friend, a good conductor,
and a good orchestra." Brahms' private
opinion of Dessoff, as we know, was nonetoo high. But Dessoff was valuable as a
propagandist. He had sworn allegiance
to the Brahms colors by resigning fromhis post as conductor of the Vienna Phil-
harmonic because Brahms' Serenade in
A major was refused. A few years be-
fore Dessoff at Carlsruhe, there had been
Hermann Levi, who had dutifully im-
planted Brahms in the public conscious-
ness there. The audiences at Carlsruhe
very likely felt honored by the distinction
conferred upon them—and were in equal
degree puzzled by the Symphony itself.
Brahms himself conducted the Sym-phony in Mannheim a few days later, andshortly afterwards in Munich, Vienna,
Leipzig and Breslau. There was no abun-
dance of enthusiasm at these early per-
formances, although Carlsruhe, Mann-heim and Breslau were markedly friendly.
In Leipzig a group of resident adherents
and such loyal visitors from elsewhere
as Frau Schumann, Joachim, and Stock-
hausen gave weight to the occasion,
established at a general rehearsal, andsealed by a post-concert banquet. In
Vienna the work got, on the whole, goodnotices. In Munich considerable hostility
was to be expected, for Munich had be-
come a Wagnerian redoubt. Kalbeckhazards that the applause was "an ex-

pression of relief" when it had at last
ended. The Smyphony reached Englandwhere it was heard in Cambridge on
March 8, under Joachim; London on
April 16.
Brahms had by then won public esteem,
having proved his choral ability with AGerman Requiem, and had enjoyed
marked success with smaller works. Afull-sized symphony was regarded as a
real test. Many found a stumbling block
in the First Symphony, and these in-
cluded some of Brahms' friends, whospoke of disunity in it, and disharmony.
Even Florence May, his adoring ex-pupil
and biographer, wrote of "shrill, clashing
dissonances" in the introduction. Levi,
the conductor who had been his loyal
promoter as conductor at Carlsruhe,
found the middle movements out of keep-
ing with the more weighty and solidly
scored first and last. Only Hans vonBiilow among the current conductors wasan unqualified enthusiast. Time has long
since dissolved lingering doubts and vin-
dicated the initial judgment of the Sym-phony's creator. No doubt the true gran-
deur of the music, now so patent to
everyone as by no means formidable,
would have been generally grasped far
sooner, had not the Brahmisians and the
neo-Germans immediately raised a cloud
of dust and kept their futile controversy
raging for years.
The First Symphony soon made the
rounds of Germany, enjoying a partic-
ular success in Berlin, under Joachim(November 11, 1877). In March of the
succeeding year it was also heard in
Switzerland and Holland. The manu-script was carried to England by Joachimfor a performance in Cambridge (March
8, 1878) and another in London in April,
each much applauded. The first perform-
ance in Boston had taken place January
3, 1878, under Carl Zerrahn with the
Harvard Musical Association. When the
critics called it "morbid," "strained,"
"unnatural," "coldly elaborated," "de-
pressing and unedifying" Zerrahn, wholike others of his time knew the spirit of
battle, at once announced a second per-
formance for January 31.

The electric young Frenchman, Philippe Entre-
mont, now 27, has been hailed on five continents
as one of the major pianists of our age. Despite his
youth, he is a veteran of the concert stage. Hispresent trans-continental tour of North America is
his eighth.
"Le pianiste atomique," as he has been called
by France-Soir, began his musical studies at the age
of six. He inherited his musical gifts. His mother,
Renee, is a teacher of the piano at the Paris Con-servatoire. His father, also a professor at the Con-servatoire, is a violinist and a conductor of opera in
Monte Carlo, Nice and Strasbourg.
Entremont began collecting prizes and medals at
12, which culminated in his award of the Grand Prix in the Marguerite Long-
Jacques Thibaud International Competition and being named First Laureat at the
age of 17. Also at 17, he made his first professional appearance in Barcelona,
Spain, in 1951. Since then, he has become a veteran of a decade of international
concertizing.
