CLARINET CONCERTO NO. 2 IN E-FLAT MAJOR, J.118/Op. 74, composed in 1811 for clarinet virtuoso Heinrich Bärmann by Carl Maria von Weber (1786-1826), is a dazzling showcase of early Romantic flair and instrumental virtuosity. Cast in three movements, it opens with a bold and spirited Allegro, followed by a lyrical Romanza rich in operatic sentiment, and concludes with a vivacious polacca-style Rondo that demands both agility and personality from the soloist. The first performance took place in Munich on November 25, 1811. A staple of the clarinet repertoire, the concerto exploits the full expressive and technical range of the clarinet, pioneering a new, idiomatic style for the instrument that influenced generations to come. Instrumentation: 2.2.0.2: 2.2.0.0: Timp: Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set): Solo Clarinet in set. Reprint edition.
