WE CRITIC TALKS
T0MUSIC LOVERS
rpiIKUH Is a general feeling nmong
J- musicians nnd muslo lovers that u
grent musical composition cannot bo
written "to tinier." but like many an
other popular conception, the fncts do not
nlwns boar out the assertion. Not that
every great composer has nlwnys melodic
and harinonlt; fund waiting to be written
down when nn "order" conies along,
but nt any rate, h sufneiont number of
ordered ' compositions hnvo proved to
be masterpieces thoroughly to disprove
the Idcn thnt n great work cannot be
produced under such conditions.
The "ordering" of muslcnl composi
tions has virtunlly gone out of existence
now. out tnerc was a time when It was
quite the usual thing for wculthy
dilettanti to direct n composer to write
one or more works In n certain form,
for which the composer wns to bo paid
and the dedication of which was to go to
the person ordering the work. Haydn.
Moznrt and Hccthnvon, as well ns many
lesser composers, wrote many composi
tions to order nnd sonic of them ure now
rated among the very greatest of their
works. This wns also n favorite device
for noblemen who wished to assist com
posers whom they thought worthy of
enrotirngement and who were struggling
with poverty, ns was the unfortunate
experience of most of them.
It is a singular commentary that
Schubert, the most prolific of all the
really great composers and the one,
therefore, best able to do work of tills
kind successfully, never received n
single order, nlthough the custom had
by no means died out in bis day. Hut
tho reason is that Schubert, during his
life, wns so little known ns n composer
thnt none of thn wealthy patrons of
music paid any attention to him.
PllOBAlUy the most successful ex
ample of "ordered" music In tlm his
tory of the tonal nrt is Verdi's opcrn
"Aida," the opera which probably rep
resents Verdi nl Ills very greatest, ns
It is musically ages nhead of all his
earlier works ond yet Is tare more tip
penling to the genernl musical taste than
"Otello" or "Falstaffo." which came
later.
As is well known, "Aida" wns com
posed to the order of tho khcdlvc of
BR.vpt. nnd nil the details of the trans
action, including the price to be paid,
were nrranged In advance between the
great composer nnd the representatives
of the Kgyptlnn monnrch.
Whether "Aida" would have been
composed without this stimulus from tlio
khedlvR is questionable, although it is
well known thnt Verdi had wanted nn
Kgyptlnn subject for an opera for some
years. This desire wns not taken very
seriously, however, on account of his
ago. for ho w-ns sixty-eight years old at
the tlmo of the composition of the opera.
In any case, it is certain that the order
of the khedive, necessitating the im
nicillntc preparation of tho libretto, nt
least hastened the production of the
opera, nnd it is entirely probable that
tills hastening made it possible for him
to compose his two Inter musternicces.
"Otello" and ;"Fnlstaffo," before his
death.
BUT if there was n chance thnt Verdi
might have written "Aida" without
nn "order." there can bo nn doubt thnt
Mozart, without a commission tn do
the work, would never have composed
ills mighty requiem, the greatest of nil
Ills religious works. The story of tho
requiem is so well known ns to require
little more than reference. It wns or
dered by the Count von Wulsegg, an
nmnteur who wished to be known us n
composer, nnd who actually hud the
work produced ns his own. The count
was it good picker, but Moznrt died
before the requiem wns completed, und
the remaining parts of the orchestra
tion w.ero finished by Sussmaycr, who
received Instructions nbout IT from Mo
znrt nn his deathbed.
Moznrt had clearly no thoughts of
n requiem until the commission from
tho count reached him through the
count's steward, Loutgeb, who con
ducted all the negotiations, Mozart, so
far as is know'n, never snw the count
In .person. Hence, hero would seem to
bo 'one grent masterpiece which would
never huvc been written except for the
order. After Moznrt got well Into the
composition of the work, it absorbed
him to the extinction of all else, unn
ho declared thnt ho was writing It for
himself. This Intensity of feeling, cou
pled with tho fact tnni no Knew him
self to be near dentil, naturally added
to the greatness of tho composition.
It is interesting to speculate upon
what would have been the consequences
If Moznrt hnd been able to fulfill tho
conditions of his agreement nnd deliver
the requiem to the count and the latter
thus have been able to pass the work
off as his own. I'robnbly. If this had
been the case, latter day critics wouli
havo devoted many columns to lamen
tations as to why o man who could com
pose a work like the requiem should
never have been able to produce another
work of note. Tho count simply plnyd
in hnrd luck.
ANOTHF.U instance of grent master
pieces being will ton to order wns
the case of three, of tho Inst six quar
tets of Heetlioven. In this instance,
however, there wns to be no question
of nuthnrshin: the Ittissinn nobleman
ordering the qunrtots simply desired
the itftdlrntfnn. Hut he. too. played In
hard luck, because ho never paid for
tho coninositmns nnd Heetlioven dedi
cated tho works to other persons, the
Kusslnn nobleman thereby losing prob
ably his onlv chance for eternal fame.
Tint in this Instance It Is probable
Hint these quartets would have boon
composed under nnv circiimstiincea.
Tho first of the immortal group of tho
Inst six qunrtots hnd alroudy been
composed, und Hecthovcn-s mind wns
nrpnrentlv fixed upon the others, so
that in this case the "order" made no
real reference to the musical berltuge
of posterity. Tho quartets wore writ
ten on the commission which bad been
given, bub the fact of their having been
so composed wns to Heetlioven merely
incidental, to judge from his convcrsu
tlon and liis letters of that time.
SPKApINO of the fame of the per
sons to whom great mnsterplecrs of
musical cnmiiositlon an1 dedicated, there
ii no doubt that manv persons, who
rodnv nro known to music lovors Hie
world over, owe their prominence en
tlrcly to tho fact thnt some grent com
poser dedicated one or more famous
works to them. This Is especially the
case with tho compositions of Hcethoven,
nr.mlr hoennse he wns tho grentest mas
tor of the instrumental forms nnd pro
iluceil more really great compositions in
thoso linos than any other composer
nnd partly because of the romance con
nected with ninny of his greatest works.
Perhaps the best known of these
beneficiaries, if they may be Ro termed,
was the Count Ttasoumowsky, the Uus
sinn ambassador to Vienna during the
early part of Heethovcn's career there.
The count maintained tho quartet with
rlohiippanzlgh ns first violin nnd him
self as second violin, which hnd the
very unusiiul opportunity of phnlng
from manuscript the greatest string
quartets ever composed
To Count Hnsoumowsky Is dedicated
the set of three quartets op. .10 of
Hoothovcii, one of the most superb
heritages of tin lltertititro of the quar
tet. On tills dedication rests his musl
cnl faiiio one which will endure ns long
ns string quartets nro played. For sonui
reason thn qunrtots nro nlwnys referred
to ns tho "Hnsoumowsky quartets."
Thorn is no Indication thnt Count
HasoumowsUy "ordered" tho quartets
lipon which his fame rests, but that he
usslstcd Heetlioven materlnlly whenever
theatres of, crcuoist,nnc8 became tQo
ge,., thcru U equally nu doubt,
