The composer and violin virtuoso Johann Stamitz not only established the world-famous Mannheim school in the 18th century but is known among clarinettists above all for presumably being the first to present them with a true solo concerto. Even though Stamitz left it at just this one concerto, it has enjoyed great popularity since its rediscovery in the 20th century and has become a standard work in the concert repertoire. Due to its moderate technical demands, it is ideally suited for music students as a ?first? solo concerto, and as preparation for the more demanding solo parts of Mozart, Weber and Spohr. The newly prepared piano reduction was undertaken with a view to make it easy to play so that also less experienced piano players can undertake the accompaniment of the soloist; a renowned clarinettist, editor Nicolai Pfeffer also contributes suggestions for the cadenzas ? the result is an ideal Urtext edition for student recitals and music schools.

Nach dem Grand Concerto f-moll op. 5 (HN 1209), setzen wir unsere Reihe der Klarinettenkonzerte Crusells mit dem B-dur-Konzert Opus 11 fort. Der schwedische Komponist war selbst ein herausragender Klarinettenvirtuose und schrieb sich die Konzerte sozusagen auf den Leib. Wenngleich technisch sehr anspruchsvoll, vermeidet das B-dur-Konzert übertriebene Virtuosität und überzeugt durch seinen melodischen Einfallsreichtum. Eine sehr willkommene Ergänzung zum frühromantischen Klarinetten-Repertoire, die von dem Klarinettisten Nicolai Pfeffer getreu der einzigen erhaltenen Quelle, der Erstausgabe von 1829, in mustergültiger Weise herausgegeben wird. Für den gut spielbaren Klavierauszug zeichnet Johannes Umbreit verantwortlich. / Clarinette Et Piano

It is hardly surprising that Beethoven did not write any more chamber music for winds after 1800. Following the change to middle-class musical culture, demand declined for buoyant serenades and divertimenti intended for court circles - a genre that Beethoven had reservations about as it was. Composed in 1795 with no known occasion in mind, his Sextet op. 81b is thus all the more remarkable, standing out on account of the unusual virtuosity of the horn parts. Our edition is the first to provide the bass part as originally intended by Beethoven: for violoncello supported by a double bass. In addition to the original horn parts in E flat, it also contains transposed parts in F.? / Violoncelle

Fantasy Piece in G Minor-Carl Nielsen's Fantasy Piece In G Minor for Clarinet in Bb and Piano. Henle Urtext edition score.One of Nielsen's early works Fantasy Piece In G Minor was writtenbetween the ages of 16 and 18 while he was a member of the military band in the Danish town of Odense. With this miniature he gave proof of his mature compositional talent on the one hand and of the socialisation through themusic of the classic and early romantic eras on the other.With its skilful interconnection of Italianate cantabilit and brilliant suppleness the two-part Fantasy Piece offers a welcome change in theClarinet repertoire. This edition is based on the sole surviving source long considered a copy in Copenhagen’s Royal Library which has since been ascertainably identified as an autograph manuscript.

for Clarinet and Piano-It is little known that alongside his three great sonatas for Clarinet and Piano Reger also wrote two charming miniatures for the same instrumentation. At the same time it was the composer’s express desire to reach awider public with smaller works such as these that were to be published in music journals. This Henle single edition (taken from the volume of all of Reger’s sonatas and pieces HN 909 also edited by MichaelKube) meets this wish today: its effervescent Tarantella and the Albumblatt that is full of nuances provide clarinettists and pianists with an easy introduction to Max Reger’s magical world of sound.

Clarinettiste le p?re de Busoni avait ?galement publi? une m?thode pour son instrument en 1883. Sa m?re ?tait pianiste. Ainsi n?est-il pas surprenant que le jeune prodige Ferruccio Busoni n? en 1866 compose d?j? entre 1877 et 1879 toute une s?rie d??uvres pour clarinette la plupart du temps avec accompagnement de piano. Parmi elles comptent ?galement les pi?ces de caract?re de jeunesse pour clarinette et piano publi?es pour la premi?re fois dans cette ?dition Urtext des ?ditions Henle. Celle-ci se fonde sur le manuscrit autographe ?tabli par Busoni avec l?aide de ses parents. Les doigt?s de la pr?sente ?dition sont du pianiste et p?dagogue Klaus Schilde.

Sonatas op.120 for Clarinet and Piano-In 1894 Johannes Brahms asked the clarinettist Richard Mühlfeld to visit him during his beloved summer sojourn in Ischl adding “It would be really wonderful if you brought your B flat Clarinet with you andif you were in no great hurry” – for the two Sonatas Op. 120 were waiting to be rehearsed. The first performances were given privately directly afterwards and the press enthusiastically reported: “Thesonatas [...] are wonderful and will cause a great sensation”. These were the last chamber pieces Brahms wrote before his death and are considered two of the great masterpieces in the Clarinet repertoire.

Opus 6-The Swedish composer Bernhard Henrik Crusell was long viewed as an insider tip among clarinettists; in the meantime his concertos have found their way to the concert stage. This is hardly surprising considering theenchanting music with which Crusell himself a Clarinet virtuoso of international rank has enriched the early romantic repertoire.Crusell’s works needn’t shy from a comparison with Weber’s and Spohr’sClarinet output. This Henle Urtext edition of the F-Minor Concerto marks the beginning of a new publication series of all three Clarinet concertos by Crusell which has been entrusted to the editor andclarinettist Nicolai Pfeffer. Since he combines editorial experience with many years of performance practice the works are in the best possible hands.

Originally written for the final year Clarinet examination at the Paris Conservatoire Debussy?s ?Première Rhapsodie? has quickly become a bestseller of the Clarinet repertoire being a highly impressionisticwork that plays marvellously with the timbral possibilities of the Clarinet. Its success was so pervasive that Debussy later arranged the Piano accompaniment for Orchestra and in this form the rhapsody is today to beheard all around the world. Our edition also contains as a ?lollipop? the popular ?Petite pièce? an original work of under forty bars that was in fact devised as a sight-reading test.

Clarinet Concerto in E flat major op. 1-This edition completes Henle's series of all three Clarinet concertos by the Swedish composer and clarinettist Bernhard Henrik Crusell. Issued in Leipzig in 1811 the Clarinet Concerto In E-FlatMajor Op.1 was Crusell's first published work but had definitely been composed several years prior to this. With its elegant head movement and the simple and moving Adagio it is probably the most“Mozartian” of all of his three concertos although the final rondo is reminiscent of Carl Maria von Weber. The editor and clarinettist Nicolai Pfeffer is now presenting this charming work betweenClassicism and Romanticism on the basis of the first edition. The Piano reduction wonderfully fits the hands and was prepared by Johannes Umbreit on the basis of the original orchestral parts.

clarinet part in B flat-Along with Robert Schumann?s identically titled op. 73 the Fantasiestücke of 1864 by the Danish composer Niels Wilhelm Gade are an essential part of the repertoire of all clarinettists. Gade lived in Leipzig for a long time andhad been among Schumann?s close friends. With this deeply romantic composition he made an important contribution to establishing the clarinet as a chamber-music soloist. The four pieces in this collection can of course beperformed separately and are ideal teaching material. Our editor the clarinettist Nicolai Pfeffer has drawn upon the German and Danish first editions and the autograph in Copenhagen as sources and consequently has been able toeliminate several discrepancies found in older editions.
