Chamber Music for Brass

Alice Pratt Brown Hall

In 1800, Beethoven was commissioned to compose by the celebrated dancer and choreographer Salvatore Viganò of the Vienna Ballet Company. His third Viennese production was entitled "The Creatures of Prometheus." In the story of the creation and spiritual awakening of the first human couple, Viganò found ideal material for the pantomimic performance on the dance stage that was common at the time. Beethoven was expected to produce the "musique qui parle," or speaking music, that was necessary for this. However, some numbers of Beethoven's ballet music also contain explosive symphonic pieces. For example, the beginning of the overture, which has survived in the repertoire to this day as an independent concert piece, independent of the ballet, is a clear echo of the beginning of the First Symphony: there, as there, Beethoven opens with a second chord, with an unresolved signal that increases the tension for what is to come. Beethoven's penchant for metric irregularities through syncopation increases the dynamics in this overture, which culminates in a virtuoso coda.
