Performed by Keith Dwyer, clarinet Accompaniment: Stuttgart Festival Orchestra Conductor: Emil Kahn No composer likes to write music without feeling that an artist exists both capable of, and willing to, play it to good advantage.When Carl Maria von Weber met Heinrich Joseph Baermann, one of the greatest clarinetists of the early nineteenth century, he delightedly began writing all sorts of work for him, including several chamber pieces and the two famousclarinet concerti. In his F-minor Concerto No. 1, it is clear that Weber knew the virtuosity of his player-he makes the soloist range over the entire compass of his instrument, and such quiet moments as do occur are invariablysurrounded by runs, leaps and passagework of the utmost brilliance. A fantastic concerto. Also in this edition is Carl Stamitz's lovely B-flat-major concerto, a most beautiful Classical-era work. Includes a printed solo part forB-flat clarinet and access to online audio featuring a complete version with soloist, in digitally remastered stereo: then a second version of the orchestral accompaniment, minus the soloist. The audio is accessed online using theunique code inside each book and can be streamed or downloaded. The audio files include PLAYBACK+, a multi-functional audio player that allows you to slow down audio without changing pitch, set loop points, change keys, and panleft or right.
