Devienne's sonatas for solo instrument and bass date from between 1788 and 1803 the year of the composer's death in a lunatic asylum at Charenton. They would certainly have contributed to the didactic material used at the new Paris Conservatoire established in 1795 whose first professors taught the six-keyed Clarinet (then the most widely available instrument) to the large number of military musicians in Napoleon Bonaparte's regimental bands.

The present work, which has been realized and edited by the well known British clarinettist Nicholas Cox, will be particularly suitable for reasonably advanced students of both modern and classical clarinets.
