NOTE: Internationally renowned Conductor, Antonin Waldstein, (not his real name), was unable to deliver his scheduled music lecture to residents of Sidney, because he broke his conducting leg getting off the ferry at Swartz Bay.
Maestro Czeslaw Gladyszewski, dazzling young Polish Canadian symphony orchestra Conductor, kindly stepped into the breach and delivered the lectures for his fallen colleague.
The Charlie White Theatre was packed with classical music fans as conductor Czeslaw Gladyszewski began the evening with a recording of a Bach concerto. He explained that Bach only knew one tune so he kept his instruments playing it over and over ad infinitum . Bach introduced variations, however, by encouraging some instruments to start sooner or end later than the others.
The great Polish pianist, Grieminsky, always finished later than the others because he started later. Some weeks he didn’t show up at all, so Bach finally wrote him out of the concerto.
“The concerto is different from the symphony,” explained Gladyszewski. “In the symphony all pieces are on the same side, pulling together. In the concerto the solo instruments fight it out with the rest of the orchestra.”
Gladyszewski, wearing black and his own hair, told his audience of alert listeners that Beethoven fortunately knew a few more tunes than Bach.
“When Beethoven’s themes are not competing they are collaborating, or breaking some rule or other. That is life.
“Beethoven was a great man. He seldom did what he was supposed to do. He wrote his own cadenzas into the score because he objected to just any musician putting chunks of inferior stuff into the great music he wrote.
“When violinist Yshmael Rubek found he was not allowed to do his own cadenza, he played his violin upside down to annoy Beethoven.”
Rubek would stop and oil his violin strings when they got overheated. His violin often needed new brake shoes but since violinists are underpaid and he couldn’t afford the brake shoes, he wrote a cadenza for Violin and Brake Shoes, which was fairly well received in New York, at a Beethoven Benefit Concert for the hard of hearing.
