-
Despite composing over thirty orchestral works, four operas, and numerous chamber pieces in various genres, much of the Austrian émigré composer Ernst Toch’s (1887-1964) oeuvre has fallen into obscurity. One of his relatively unknown works, Peter Pan, Op. 76, is of particular interest because, despite its eye-catching title, it was not composed with programmatic intent. The change of title from A Fairytale for Orchestra to Peter Pan, however, invites application of James M. Barrie’s (1860-1937) Peter Pan narrative to his piece, and, indeed, the work contains structural and motivic elements that might be linked to that story.
