Mendelssohn Bartholdy
composed his Reformation
Symphony for the
celebrations marking the
300th anniversary of the
Confessio Augustana, the
Protestant declaration of

was no performance in
1830, the year in

years later that the
composer conducted the
premiere of his work, now
heavily revised, in
Berlin. There was only
one more performance in
Mendelssohn's lifetime,
this one conducted by
Julius Rietz in
Dusseldorf; the composer
had since distanced
himself from his
opus.Conceived for the
concert hall, the
symphony formulates its
theological references
through the integration
of various motives. This
occurs in the finale, for
example, in which
Mendelssohn quotes the
Luther chorale Ein feste
Burg in the flute, from
where it builds up to a
triumphant principal
theme. The strong
extra-musical aspect must
have been one of the
reasons for the
composer's later
avoidance of this score,
especially since
Mendelssohn was becoming
increasingly skeptical
about explicitly
programmatic music in the
instrumental domain. Next
to the Dusseldorf
performance material of
1837, two scribal copies
have been examined for

of the version of
1830.

Richard
Strauss's last completed
tone poem is regarded as
the pinnacle of his art
of orchestration: Now
I've finally learned to
orchestrate, he himself
is once supposed to have
said about it after the
dress rehearsal. The
single-movement Alpine
symphony that we know
today ultimately evolved
- over almost 15 years -
from the original drafts
of an artist's tragedy,
titled Der Antichrist.
Eine Alpensinfonie [The
Antichrist. An Alpine
Symphony] up to the stage
of the last sketches.
With unprecedented
plasticity, the work
showcases a
(metaphysical?) mountain
hike with stops in the
forest, at the waterfall,
on the alpine pasture
and, of course, at the
summit. Apropos alpine
pastures: up to the
score's fair copy stage,
Strauss envisaged a high
and a low alphorn for the
section Auf der Alm [On
the Alpine Pasture] and
the well-known Dulioh
theme, though for various
reasons first detailed in
our new Urtext edition,
these exotic instruments
did not find their way
into the printed version.
In the new edition, the
editor, Nick Pfefferkorn,
reproduces the alphorn
passages in small print,
also adding two alphorn
parts to the performance
material, besides
evaluating the
corrections made by
Walter Seifert at
Strauss's
request.

The 1712
Overture stands out in
P.D.Q. Bach's oeuvre for
two reasons, among
others: it is by far the
most programmatic
instrumental piece among
those by the minimeister
of Wein-am-Rhein so far
unearthed, and 2) its
discovery has led to a
revelation about the
composer's father, Johann
Sebastian Bach, that has
exploded like a bombshell
on the usually serene
musicological landscape.
The overture is based on
an anecdote told to
P.D.Q. Bach by a cousin,
Peter Ulrich. Since P.U.
Bach lived in Dudeldorf,
only a few miles down the
road from Wein-am-Rhein,
he was P.D.Q.'s closest
relative, and he was, in
fact, one of the few
members of the family who
was on speaking terms
with P.D.Q. The story,
related to P.D.Q.
(fortunately for us
posterity types) in a
letter, may be summarized
thus: The town of
Dudeldorf was founded by
two brothers, Rudi and
Dieter Dudel, early in
the 18th century. Rudi
remained mayor of the
newborn burg for the rest
of his long life, but
Dieter had a dream of
starting a musicians'
colony, an entire city
devoted to music, which
dream, he finally
decided, could be
realized only in the New
World. In 1712, he and
several other bagpipers
sailed to Boston, never
to return to Germany.
(Henceforth, Rudi became
known as der deutscher
Dudel and Dieter as the
Yankee Dudel).
Unfortunately, the head
of the Boston Musicians'
Guild had gotten wind of
Dudel's plans, and
Wilhelm Wiesel (pron.
VEE-zle), known none too
affectionately around
town as Wiesel the
Weasel, was not about to
share what few gigs there
were in colonial America
with more foreigners and
outside agitators. He and
his cronies were on hand
to meet Dudel's boat when
it pulled into Boston
Harbor; they intended to
prevent the newcomers'
disembarkation, but Dudel
and his companions
managed to escape to the
other side of the bay in
a dinghy, landing with
just enough time to rent
a carriage and horses
before hearing the sound
of The Weasel and his
men, who had had to come
around the long way. The
Germans headed West, with
the Bostonians in furious
pursuit. soon the city
had been left far behind,
and by midnight so had
the pursuers; Dieter
Dudel decided that it was
safe for him and his men
to stop and sleep until
daybreak. When they
awoke, they found that
they were in a beautiful
landscape of low,
forested mountains and
pleasant fields, warmed
by the brilliant morning
sun and serenaded by an
entrancing variety of
birds. Here, Dudel
thought, her is where I
will build my colony. The
immigrants continued down
the road at a leisurely
pace until they came upon
a little church, all by
itself in the
countryside, from which
there suddenly emanated
the sounds of a pipe
organ. At this point, the
temptation to quote from
P.U. Bach's letter to
P.D.Q. cannot be
resisted: They went
inside and, after
listening to the glorious
music for a while,
introduced themselves to
the organist. And who do
you think it was? Are you
ready for this -- it was
your old man! Hey, no
kidding -- you know, I'm
sure, that your father
was the guy to get when
it came to testing new
organs, and whoever had
that one in Massachusetts
built offered old
Sebastian a tidy sum to
go over there and check
it out. The unexpected
meeting with J.S. Bach
and his sponsors was
interrupted by the sound
of horse hooves, as the
dreaded Wiesel and his
men thundered on to the
scene. They had been
riding all night,
however, and they were no
spring chickens to start
with, and as soon as they
reached the church they
all dropped, exhausted,
to the ground. The elated
Germans rang the church
bells and offered to buy
everyone a beer at the
nearest tavern. There
they were taught, and
joined in singing, what
might be called the
national anthem of the
New World. The melody of
this pre-revolutionary
patriotic song is still
remembered (P.D.Q. Bach
quotes it, in the bass
instruments, near the end
of the overture), but is
words are now all but
forgotten: Freedom, of
thee we sing, Freedom
e'er is our goal; Death
to the English King, Long
live Rock and Ross. The
striking paucity of
biographical references
to Johann Sebastian Bah
during the year 1712 can
now be explained: he was
abroad for a significant
part of that year,
testing organs in the
British Colonies. That
this revelation has not
been accepted as fact by
the musicological
establishment is no
surprise, since it means
that a lot of books would
have to be rewritten. The
members of that
establishment haven't
even accepted the
existence of P.D.Q. Bach,
one of whose major works
the 1712 Overture
certainly is. It is also
a work that shows
Tchaikowsky up as the
shameless plagiarizer
that some of us have
always known he was. The
discovery of this awesome
opus was made possible by
a Boston Pops Centennial
Research Commission; the
first modern performance
took place at the opening
concert of the 100th
anniversary season of
that orchestra, under the
exciting but authentic
direction of John
Williams.
