VIP Charles Neidich
Performs with Historical Clarinets featuring music of Brahms and Schumann
as the composers themselves might have heard them.
5 December 2012 - Morse Hall, Juilliard
School, New York City
The Yale Collection of Musical Instruments presents the
eminent duo of clarinetist Charles Neidich ’75BA and pianist
Robert Levin on December 2 and 3. Using
historical instruments, the performances will feature music of Brahms and
Schumann as the composers themselves might have heard them.
Levin will be performing on a piano built by Johann Baptist Streicher in
1869. The instrument is identical to the one Brahms used to compose his works
the last twenty-four years of his life. Neidich, who graduated from Yale College
in 1975, regularly performs as a soloist, chamber musician, and conductor
throughout the world.
The Yale Collection of Musical Instruments, one of the
foremost institutions of its kind, preserves and exhibits musical instruments
from antiquity to the present. Many instruments are maintained in playing
condition and are featured in performances and demonstrations in the fine
acoustic of the upstairs gallery, the venue for this performance.
The program will be presented twice: Sunday, December 2 at 3 pm and Monday,
December 3 at 8 pm. Both concerts take place at the Collection of Musical
Instruments (15 Hillhouse Avenue, New Haven).
Tickets are $20, $15 for seniors and Yale staff, $10 with student ID. For
more information or to purchase tickets, visit

About the Performers
Hailed by the New Yorker as “a master of his
instrument and beyond a clarinetist,” Charles Neidich regularly
appears as soloist and as collaborator in chamber music with leading ensembles
including the Saint Louis Symphony, Royal Philharmonic, and Deutsches
Philharmonic, along with the Juilliard, Guarneri, Brentano, American String
Quartets and many others. Known as a leading exponent of period instrument
performance practice, he has performed his restoration of the Mozart Concerto
throughout the world both on modern and period instruments.
One of America’s leading keyboard artists, Robert Levin is
equally at home on the harpsichord, the fortepiano, and the modern piano as a
recitalist, concerto performer, and chamber musician. He is also recognized as
an authoritative scholar on the Classical and Baroque periods. Robert Levin is
best known as a Mozart pianist and scholar. He has written cadenzas to many of
the master’s concertos (including the piano, violin, and horn concertos); he has
published embellishments of Mozart solo parts; and he has written several
reconstructions and completions of Mozart works. His completion of Mozart’s
Requiem won wide critical acclaim after its premiere by Helmuth Rilling at the
European Music Festival in Stuttgart in August 1991. He has published many
scholarly studies, with a special concentration on performance practice

A Link to History
I cannot begin to explain how privileged I feel to have known
Elliott Carter. He was my great friend, my mentor, and an
inspiration for much I have done in my life. Of course, as
someone who cares passionately about classical music, the
insight I received and the brilliant musical perspective I came
to understand from him was invaluable, but knowing Elliott was
more than just knowing the greatest composer of recent time; it
gave me a link to history that only his exceptional longevity,
his phenomenal memory, his acute sense of observation, and his
humanity could offer.
What was most remarkable about Elliott Carter was his
perpetual youthful curiosity. Living past the age of 103, he led
a life of remarkable productivity, and throughout that life, he
never lost his insatiable thirst for knowledge not only musical,
but from every field of inquiry and aspect of life. In music,
his youthfulness manifested itself in the fact that just about
whenever he set about to compose he ended up redefining the form
of the composition he was working on whether it was a duet or an
opera. Outside of music, his interests were all-encompassing.
Our conversations would range from the pronunciation of Homeric
Greek to exotic plant species to contemporary politics. He was
interested to know about everything from the space-time
continuum to the recipes of the various courses of the virtuoso
birthday dinners which my wife, Ayako Oshima, would prepare for
him and his friends.
In looking back to our wonderful times together, my thoughts
turn as well to Elliott’s brilliant wife, Helen, who passed away
nine years ago. They were an inseparable couple, and I felt so
much of his sensibility was informed by her great sense of taste
and incredible perceptiveness.
It was Elliott’s perpetual youth that made his passing at
such a remarkable age, while expected, so unexpected. His loss
will touch me for a long time to come, but I will carry his
influence and vision in everything I do.
