His first symphony created a profound sensa-'Vhen produced in 1877. The summer of that same year ,s began composing the second symphony, and its first per-nee was given December 30, 1877. he second symphony with its cheerful and graceful themes :triety of intent and content indicates the contrast between >ic breadth and grandeur of the first symphony in C minor e three symphonies which follow it. By 1885 Brahms com-his four symphonies. Interm ssion ta Girolamo Frescobaldi ( 1583-1644) Transcribed by Hans Kindler he toccata originally indicated music for the keyboard in-ents as sonata was intended for the other instruments and a for singing voices. The toccata is characterized by a y of brilliant passage work over long pedal points in the The rhapsodic quality characteristic of toccatas may be ✓ed in the free unfolding of the rhythms in the upper parts. t the age of 25, Frescobaldi was appointed organist of St. 's at Rome. He was so famous by this time that 30,000 i are said to have attended his first performance. First Essay for Orchestra, Op. 12 Samuel Barber Samuel Barber, born in 1910, educated at the Curtis Insti-tute of Music in Philadelphia, won a Prix de Rome in 1935 and the Pulitzer PrizeforMusicin both 1935and 1936. The First Essay, composed and first performed in 1938, was programmed by the Philadelphia Orchestra and the NBC Symphony under Arturo Toscanini. The use of the word "essay" as a title conjures up the literary form in which ideas are developed concisely within an intimate framework. This work is the part ofthe link of contem-porary Romanticism with that of the past century. Barber is among the musicians who have adhered to the principle of tonal-ity although his approach is uniquely his own. As one of the very few composers trained as a singer, his music is essentially lyrical. West Side Story Selections for Orchestra Leonard Bernstein Subtitles as they are performed in this selection are: "I Feel Pretty," "Maria," "Something's Coming," "Tonight," "One Hand, One Heart," "Cool," and "America."
