These two works, in different ways, demonstrate Romantic music\u2019s belief in the power of melody and music\u2019s ability to encompass both the grand and the intimate.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First up is a shorter orchestral work that serves as a prelude to the evening\u2019s two main works. Anton Webern\u2019s Symphony, Op. 21, from 1928, is a short but intense work that lasts only about ten minutes. Despite this, the music is dense and meticulously crafted, with small motifs and timbres that are interwoven with the whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Austrian Webern was born in Vienna in 1883 and was an innovator. To break with the 19th-century approach to composing music, he and other composers began experimenting with new systems in the early 20th century. The most radical of these was the twelve-tone technique, in which all notes were considered equal and no note could be repeated until all the others had been played. Symphony, Op. 21, is an example of the twelve-tone technique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The symphony is written for a small orchestra and consists of two movements. In the first movement, Webern employs canon-like patterns, in which the instruments take up and mirror each other\u2019s music in various ways. The music is serene and clear. The silences and the small details become just as important as the notes themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second movement is structured as variations on a short theme. Here, musical ideas recur in new forms. Webern was fascinated by symmetry and by how a large-scale work could emerge from something very small. The result is a dense symphony in which small motifs constantly reappear in new forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The German composer Felix Mendelssohn lived from 1809 to 1847 and is considered one of the most prominent and highly regarded composers of the Early Romantic period. His Violin Concerto in E minor is one of the most frequently performed works for violin and orchestra. The concerto premiered in 1845 in Leipzig and was written for Mendelssohn\u2019s close friend, the violinist Ferdinand David. Even today, it is considered one of the showpieces of the violin repertoire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The concerto consists of three movements: the passionate <em>\u201cAllegro molto appassionato<\/em>,\u201d the delicate <em>\u201cAndante \u2013 Allegretto non troppo<\/em>,\u201d and the lively <em>\u201cAllegro molto vivace<\/em>.\u201d Together, they form a journey through longing, peace, joy, and sorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mendelssohn innovated the concerto form in several ways. The soloist enters almost immediately, without the long orchestral introduction that had previously been the tradition, and the three movements flow together without a pause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The conductor is Eduardo Strausser, artistic director of the Norrlandsoperan. The soloist is violinist Liya Petrova, who grew up in Bulgaria and is now based in Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the intermission, Franz Schubert\u2019s Symphony No. 9 in C major, often called \u201cThe Great,\u201d awaits. Schubert lived from 1797 to 1828 and was an Austrian composer and one of the most important composers of the early Romantic period. Although he died at the age of 31, his body of work was both extensive and significant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Symphony No. 9 was composed during the final year of Schubert\u2019s life. The composer himself never lived to see the symphony\u2019s success; it was not discovered and performed until several years after his death. When Robert Schumann visited Vienna in 1838, he came across the score, and in 1839 his friend Felix Mendelssohn conducted the work\u2019s premiere in Leipzig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The symphony opens with a solitary horn motif that grows into something grand and powerful. From there, the music is filled with contrasts: both tranquility and drama, explosiveness and fragility. Schubert\u2019s Ninth is a work that demands endurance and precision from the orchestra. For us in the audience, all we have to do is enjoy it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div><div class='tab-pane fade' id='tab-medverkande-content' role='tabpanel' aria-labelledby='nav-medverkande-tab' tabindex='0'>\n        <div class='tab-content accordion accordion-flush' id='nav-medverkande-content'>\n              <div class='tab-pane fade show active accordion-item no-program-item-accordion' id='tab-medverkande-25356-content' role='tabpanel' aria-labelledby='nav-medverkande-tab-25356' tabindex='0'>\n            <div id='collapse-25356' class='accordion-collapse collapse d-block' aria-labelledby='heading-25356' data-bs-parent='#nav-medverkande-content'>\n                <div class='no-program-item-accordion-body accordion-body'>\n                \n<h3 class=\"wp-block-noor-blocks-heading nb-heading nb-cursor-default nb-heading-h3\">The Musicians<\/h3>\n\n<div id=\"no-accordion-3e013f49-6545-4c8d-a90c-5bde000066f4\" class=\"wp-block-norrlandsoperan-blocks-accordion no-accordion accordion accordion-flush row w-100 m-0\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-norrlandsoperan-blocks-accordion-item accordion-item\"><div class=\"no-accordion-header\"><button class=\"no-accordion-button collapsed\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#no-accordion-3e013f49-6545-4c8d-a90c-5bde000066f4-0\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"no-accordion-3e013f49-6545-4c8d-a90c-5bde000066f4-0\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"no-accordion-header-img\" src=\"https:\/\/norrlandsoperan.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Eduardo-Strausser_DSC08001.jpg\" alt=\"Conductor: Eduardo Strausser\"\/><span class=\"accordion-button-text\">Conductor: Eduardo Strausser<\/span><span class=\"accordion-button-icon\"><svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 32 32\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M7.99821 16C7.99821 15.7347 8.10357 15.4804 8.2911 15.2929C8.47864 15.1053 8.733 15 8.99821 15L20.5842 15L16.2902 10.708C16.1972 10.615 16.1235 10.5046 16.0732 10.3831C16.0228 10.2616 15.9969 10.1314 15.9969 9.99996C15.9969 9.86847 16.0228 9.73827 16.0732 9.61679C16.1235 9.49531 16.1972 9.38494 16.2902 9.29196C16.3832 9.19898 16.4936 9.12523 16.615 9.07491C16.7365 9.02459 16.8667 8.9987 16.9982 8.9987C17.1297 8.9987 17.2599 9.02459 17.3814 9.07491C17.5029 9.12523 17.6132 9.19898 17.7062 9.29196L23.7062 15.292C23.7993 15.3848 23.8732 15.4952 23.9236 15.6167C23.9741 15.7382 24 15.8684 24 16C24 16.1315 23.9741 16.2617 23.9236 16.3832C23.8732 16.5047 23.7993 16.6151 23.7062 16.708L17.7062 22.708C17.5184 22.8957 17.2638 23.0012 16.9982 23.0012C16.7327 23.0012 16.478 22.8957 16.2902 22.708C16.1024 22.5202 15.997 22.2655 15.997 22C15.997 21.7344 16.1024 21.4797 16.2902 21.292L20.5842 17L8.99821 17C8.733 17 8.47864 16.8946 8.2911 16.7071C8.10357 16.5195 7.99821 16.2652 7.99821 16Z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/button><\/div><div id=\"no-accordion-3e013f49-6545-4c8d-a90c-5bde000066f4-0\" class=\"accordion-collapse position-relative collapse\" data-bs-parent=\"#no-accordion-3e013f49-6545-4c8d-a90c-5bde000066f4\"><div class=\"no-accordion-body\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-noor-blocks-group nb-group  py-32\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-noor-blocks-paragraph nb-paragraph\">Eduardo Strausser is the principal conductor and music director of the Norrlandsoperan Symphony Orchestra.
