Fantasy for violin and piano (1949) Ode to Napoleon Buonaparte (Lord
Byron), Op. 41, for string quartet, piano, and reciter
In 1933 Arnold Schoenberg was relieved by the Nazis of his post as head of the Meistrschule at the Berlin Academy of Arts; and his music, together with that of many other contemporary composers, came to be excluded from German theatres and concert halls. He therefore settled in the U.S.A. His ' Ode to Napoleon Buonaparte ' was one of the first works' that he wrote after becoming an American citizen in 1940; and his choice of Byron's Ode as his text clearly has reference to Hitler. Tonight the work it being performed in its original version; there also exists an arrangement for string orchestra, first given in New York in 1944. The reciter's part is set down on three lines, indicating the rhythm and the variations in pitch of the voice. The thematic material of the' work is stated in the introduction, and there are instrumental interludes after the fifth, eighth, twelfth, and sixteenth stanzas.
