well as two standbys.
Lightning-fast tempos character-
ized much of the evening's play-
ing; the opening bars of the Ber-
lioz went by like a cloudburst, -
after which a slight drizzle seemed
to continue. The overture, to an
opera that was loudly booed at the
premiere, has survived, but is
more of a showpiece than a work
of genuine musical substance. Per-
haps Boulez was justified in whip-
ping through it, as if to say, well,
now you know we can play fast
and loud; alors, here is some real
music.
The real music that followed,
the Haydn Symphony No. 31, is a
seldom-played nugget in the Haydn
gold mine. One orchestra member
told me the musicians enjoyed per-
forning it, welcoming a change
from the standard works that fill
concert programs.
It is very difficult to listen to a
work ofveHaydn's and say, "Well,
that's typical." The harmonies are
orthodox enough, but he had very
eccentric ideas about phrasing and
orchestration. Thus it is not un-
comnmon for solo instruments to
break into things with a seven-
measure theme, after which every-
thing continues as if nothing had
happened. The trouble is one can
never be sure what tricks he will
play next, and that is one thing
that makes Haydn so fascinating.
In the "Horn Signal" Symphony,
the horns have prominent parts,
as might be expected, but equally
important are the solos for violin,
cello, flute and double bass. The
horns were outstanding, leaping by

elaborated on how he got his job,
back in 1926.
"I was in school then, and one
Saturday morning my mother told
me someone had called from the
Philharmonic; their player was
sick and they needed a replace-
ment. They were doing Petrouch-
ka, with Toscanini conducting. I
had never heard of Petrouchka or
Toscanini, but I did the concert
anyway." This eventually led to his
appointment as principal timpanist.
Since then he has played about
6,540 concerts with the orchestra.
And there's a half a concert in
there someplace-one night when
the Boston Symphony was playing
at Carnegie Hall their timpanist
was ill and Goodman was called.
"I was playing for the Philhar-
monic that night, so I said no, but
somehow, the programs were re-I
arranged and I played one half of
the Philharmonic program and got
over to Carnegie for the Rite of
Spring."
Goodman will make one more
appearance with the orchestra,
when it opens its regular season on:
Wednesday in New York. But his
work won't stop there-he heads
the percussion department at Jul-
Bard and will also teach at Sarah
Lawrence College.
