I would love to say that program music survives by itself without explanation, but I would be lying. I love Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker but, without the story being told or the ballet staged it would just be beautiful Russian music, The “Sugar Plum Fairy” doesn’t even sound like a Christmas piece. Saint-Saën’s delightful “Carnival of Animals” would just sound like musical gibberish, at least when we arrived at the “Fossils”, and “Swan” would just sound like a beautiful cello piece. I won’t even discuss Prokofiev’s “Peter and the Wolf”. Mussorgsky’s “Pictures at an Exhibition”, a more serious piece at least needs an explanation in parentheses attached to the Russian titles and it is especially nice when the pictures are shown for which the piece was written. |
