BARMANN, HENRICH (1784-1847). Concertino, Opus 27. Leipzig: Breitkopf and Hartel,
n.d.
Unavailable.
BARMANN, KARL (1811-1885). Concerto Militaire in Eb, Opus 6. Mainz: Schott, 1875.
Rather bombastic technical passages like all the exercise books; Weber and
Spohr without the musical refinement of either.
BAUMGARTEN , KARL FRIEDERICH ( 1740- 1 824) * Concerto in Bb f or Oboe, Flute, or
Clarinet n.d.
Copy in British Museum.
BAUR, JURG. Kontert Leipzig: Breitkopf & Hartel, c. 1968.
An 1 8-minute work. Only the solo part is printed. Listed in Gaudeamus.
BAUTISTA, JUTIAN. Fantasia Espanol. Buenas Aires: Barry, 1963. United States repre-
sentative, Boosey & Hawkes.
Very Spanish, modern, and brilliant. Fine for a player with sufficient technique.
BAVICCHI, JOHN (1922- ). Concerto with Strings, Optls 11. New York: Oxford Uni-
versity Press, 1967.
A work of calculated dissonance that ends on the only tnajor triad in the score. The
strings parts cannot be represented adequately by the piano reduction.
BAZELON, IRWIN (1922- ). Chamber Concerto No. 2 with Jazz Type Ensemble, n.d.
F;rst performed May 1971. CRI record
BEER, JOSEPH (1 744-181 1). Concerto. n.d.
Listed by Rendall.
BELLINI, VINCENT (1801-1835). Concerto in Eb. Arranged by Joosen. Wormerveer,
Holland: Molenaar, 1963.
A single slow movement; like a coloratura aria with simple accompaniment.
BEN_HEIM (1897- ). Pastoral Varie' with Strings and Harp, n.d.
No publisher listed. Pleasant variations.
BENTZON, J0RGEN (1897-1948). Kammoerkonzert No. 3, Opus 39. Copenhagen: Edition
Dania, 1943.
Rather severe writing; not a virtuoso piece, though dull in many places. It is
unsatisfying with the piano reduction of the orchestral score.
BEREZOVSKY, NICHOLAI (1900-1953). Concerto, Opus 28. New York: Boosey & Hawkes,
1941.
Originally for viola; the solo part is not really satisfying for the wind player.
BERIO, LUCIANO (1925- ). Concerto with Chamber Orchestra with Solo Violin Harp
and Celeste. U.E. score due in April 1972. United States representative, Theodore
Presser.
Composed 1950. Expertly written; difficult but rewarding.
BERNAUD, ALAIN (1932- ). Concerto Lyriquefor Clarinet and Orchestra. Paris: Leduc,
1954.
Quite modern, requiring very advanced technique and musicianship; a test piece
for Paris Conservatoire. More musically valuable than most such works.
BERR FRIEDERICH ( I 794- l 838). First Concerto in Eb (new edition) . Paris: Leduc? n.d.
In the usual early nineteenth-century style; unoriginal. Weber and Spohr fill the
bill much better.
BIALAS, G. Concerto. Wiesbaden: Barenreiter, n.d.
Listed by Kroll.
BINET, JEAN (1893- ). Petit Concert with Strings. Geneva: Henn, n.d.

Five short movements not forming a coherent whole; premiered May 1971 with
Greenville, Pennsylvania, Symphony.
BLACKWOOD, EASLEY (contemporary). Concerto. Nesv York: G. Schirmer, in process as
of 1971.
Composed 1966 on commission from the Cincinnati Symphony. Very modern
and unsatisfying to conservative ears.
BLASIUS, MATTHIEU FREDERIC (1758-1829). Concerto lVo. 2 in F. Paris (?): Magasin de
Musique, Cherubinin Mehul, and Co., n.d.
Scored for C clarinet but easy to transpose. Late classical style, charming and wel1
written for the instrument; comparable to Wanhal and Dittersdorf. Useful as a
preparation for Mozart. Its chief fault is its excessive length. Score and parts in
Fleischer Library. Blasius also composed duo concertos for clarinet and bassoon.
BLOCH, WALDEMAR. Konzertr 1955. Vienna: Doblinger, 1960.
Rather long for its ideasS and needs the orchestra to be successful; orchestral intro-
duction and interludes are extensive. Also, the vigorous dissonances sound too
rough on the piano.
BOCHSA, ROBERT NICOLAS CHARLES (1789-1856) or KARL (-1821). Concerto.
Listed by Rendall. Unavailable.
BOHMAR, C. Concerto. Bote & Bock. United States representative Associated Music
Publishers.
Listed by Gabucci.

Unavailable.
BOZZA, EUGENE (1905- ). Concerto in Bb pour Clarinette et Orchestra de cEiambre Ot
piano. Paris: Leduc, 1952.
Quite contemporary; a florid, difEcult work of some musical interest; does not
wear well.
BRANT, HENRY ( 19 13- ). Concerto with Dance Band, 1946. New York : MCA. 1946.
Written for Benny Goodman. A fun piece; Brant knows his jazz.
BROWER, JAY (contemporary). Concerto, n.d.
First performed at Huntex College, New York, Dec
BRUNS, VICTOR (1904- ). Concerto, Opus 26. Leipzig
Fairly musical and contemporary. Somewhat tri
technical demands are warranted by the music. Wo

CIMAROSA, DOMENICO (I749-1801). Concertofor Oboe and Strings. Arranged by Art
Benjamin. London: Boosey & Hawkes 1942.
In early classical style, freely adapted from the piano sonatas of Cimarosa. Though
the adaptation was originally for oboe, the well adjusted clarinet part is useful
for a student not technically advanced.
CLARK, ROBERT KEYS. Conterto, Opas 48. Swirl Lane Music, 1972; Composers Theater,
25 West 1 9th Street, New York City.
Commissioned by Composers Theater for Jerome Bunke. Modern; patchy without

musical flow, yet pleasant. Chamber orchestra accompaniment. Recorded on

Trinity Records.
COENEN, JOHANNES MEINARDUS ( 1824-1899) . Concerto in Eb. Dresden: Seeling, c. 1900.
Void of real musical or melodic idea. Score and parts in Fleischer Library.
COLLIS, JAMES. Little Concertos Nos. 1 and 2. New York: Charles H. Hansen, 1953.
Short simple works in classical-romantic style, good for teaching and performance.
Musical if unimportant.
COOKE, ARNOLD (1906- ). Clarinet Concerto. London: Novello, 1964.
Similar in style to his sonata, but not nearly as good or spontaneous Disappointing.
COPLAND, AARON (1900- ). Concerto. New York: Boosey & Hawkes, 1950.
Written for and recorded by Benny Goodman. At first dryly lyrical, then jazzy and
rhythmic, overemphasizing the high register; not too gratifying to play Recorded
Columbia MS 6497 or 6805.
CREMONT, PIERRE (1784-1846). First Concerto in Eb, Opus 4. Paris: Gambaro, c. 1810.
Late classical or early romantic; quite musical and with a rather long but not
difficult rondo. Copy in Library of Congress.
CRUFT, ADRIAN (1921- ). Concertino for Clarinet in Bb and Strings. Piano arrange-
ment by the composer. London: Joseph Williams, 1956. United States representa-
tive, Mills Music.
A musically intelligent work in three movements in a modernized romantic style,
with melodic ideas not imaginative but well dressed. The demands on the soloist
are tonal and musical rather than technical. The piano, though obviously a sub-
stitute for the strings, is adequate.
CRUsELL, BERNHARD HENRIK (1775-1838). Three Concertos) n.d.
Listed by Rendall.
DABELYEV, B. Concerto. Musica Rara, n.d
DACOSTA, IsAAc-FRANco ( 1 7 78- l 866) . Concerto, Opus 1.
Parts in Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris.
DEBUSSY, CLAUDE (1862-1918). Premier Rapsodie pour Clarinette. Paris: Durand, 1910.
A great work, difficult but highly rewarding. Good with piano despite its being
scored for a large orchestra. Score and parts published. Several times recorded.
DECROES, FIEINRICH THE YOUNGER ( 1 758-1842) . Concerto in Bb. Library of Thurn
and Taxis: MS., n.d.
DELLION, LEON. Concerto with Small Orchestra. University of Maryland: NACWAPI
Library, n.d.
Pleasant, flowing music; but too much chalumeau; the soloist is covered with the
thick scoring.
DELLo JoIo, NORMAN (1913- ). Concertante for Clarinet and Orchestrs. New York:
Carl Fischer, 1955
Very fine; not easy, though the performance problem is musical rather than
technical. The second of the two movements is a theme with five variations. The
piano is a reasonable substitute for the orchestra.
DEMAR, JOHANN SEBASTIAN ( 1 763- l 832) . Concerto in Bb. Paris: Bibliotheque Nationale,
n.d.
DEPELSENAIRE, J. M. Concerto in Db with Piano. Editions Muscales Transatlantiques,
1962. United States Representative, Southern Music.
A single movement with rather Baroque feeling, attractive and musical.
DIMLER, ANTON SR. (1753-1815). Three Concerti. Paris: Paris Conservatoire, n.d.
DOBRZYNSKI, IGNACY F. (1807-1867). Concerto in Ab. Cracow: Polskie Wydawnictwo
Muszyczne, 1953.
A recent reprint; romantic and rather long for its ideas, but with a certain charm.
Not very difficult.

Very modern and diffieult, using orchestra of three trumpets, three trombones,

. Concertino for Two Recorders or Two Clarinets, and Piano. New York: Hargail,
1 944.

good enough for professionals.
GROVLEZ, GABRIEL (1879-1944). Concertino.for Clarinet and Piano. Paris: Callet et Fils,
C. 1940.
A charming, light work in three contrasting sections. The first part is rhythmically
tricky, the second pleasant and sentimental, and the third a gay march.
GUILHAUD, GEORGES. Concertino. Paris: Costallat, 1910.
Originally for oboe but often used by clarinetists. Musical, sweet, but not using the
full resources of the clarinet.
. First Concertino. Arranged by Paquot. New York: Carl Fischer, n.d.
GURLITT, CORNELIUS (1820-1901). Konzertstucke for Clarinet with Orchestra or Piano.

Unavailable.
HANDEL, GEORGE FRIDERIC (1685-1759). Concerto in G and Sarabande. Transcribed by

Originally an oboe concerto. Well edited, but, says Thomas Ayers, needing addi-
tional ornaments inserted, particularly at trills and cadences.
. Concerto with Strings. Arranged by Sir John Barbirolli. London: Oxford
University Press, 1952.
Four movements chosen from as many works by Handel out of which results a
Baroque concerto of high quality. It fills a need for a work in this style. Very well
done. Published with piano in score and parts.

HARDER5 ERWIN E. (1883- ). Concerto No. 1 in G Minor. Chicago: privately pub-

HASSENS, CHARLES LOUIS (1802-1871). Concerto, n.d.
Unavailable.
HAUCK, FRANZ. Concertino with Small Orchestra. Cologne: Hans Gerig, 1952.
Romantic melodically, but trite. Attempt to modernize harmonies with parallel
seventh chords etc. and use of a celeste. Has audience appeal.
HAYDN, FRANZ JOSEPH (1732-1809). Concerto in D. Transcribed by D. de Caprio.
New York: Music Publishers Holding Corporation, 1947.
A great work. Originally for cello, this version is transposed to Bb, and transcribed
well even in the passages lying over the break. This version has neur and shorter
cadenzas than those played by Casals.
HERMSTEDT, JOHANN SIMON (1 778-1846). Concerto, n.d.
tJnavailable.
HINDEMITH, PAUL (1895-1963). Concerto for Clarinet in A and Orchestra. London:
Schott, 1950.
Written for Benny Goodman; in the recent Hindemith style. With some difficult
spots especially the rapid Ostinato it is every bit a display piece, but thoroughly
musical and a very important addition to the literature. Fine recording by Cahuzac.

In a style of a bygone time except for changing meters. Much trite accompaniment
and no excitement.

A single movement; romantic melodies and some brilliance. Not as good as

Weber's music, but similar.
JAKMA, F. First and Second Concertini. Uitgrave, Netherlands. United States representa-
tive, Henri Elkan, n.d.
JETTEL, RUDOLF. Conscrtino with Piano. Zurich: Eulenberga 1 969. United States

JONGEN, JOSEPH (1873-1953). Concertino for Clarinet in Bb and Piano, Opus 132. Brussells:
Gervan, 1947.
Very well written piece in the style of the French piNce de concours, but much
more musically worthy than most such. Except for a few tricky spots, not too
demanding technically.
JUST, MICHAEL. Concerto in Bb. Leipzig: Breitkopf & Hartel, 1782-1784.
KARREN, LEON. Concerto with Piano. Paris: Evette-Schaeffer, n.d.
An introduction, adagio, and variations. Stylized mid-nineteenth century, but
better than some.
KEYS, IVOR. Conscrto with Strings. London: Novello, 1959. United States representa-
tive, Mills Music.
For clarinet in A. Not really interesting a disappointment.
KIEL, C. Concerto. Boston: Schmidt, n.d.
Listed by Gabucci.
KLAUS, KENNETH BLANCHARD ( 1923- ) . Concerto Brevis. Louisiana State Univer-
sity: MS., 1955-1956.

Unavailable.
KLEINSINGER, GEORGE ( 1914- ) . Street Corncr Conscrto f or Bb Charinet and Piano.
New York: Chappell and Co., 1953.
A jazz concerto of quite some charm; not too difficult.
KLOSE, HYACINTHE ELEANORE ( 1 808-1880) . Concertino. Paris: Buffet-Crampton
(Leduc), n.d.
Very nineteenth-century, but a good performer might make it interesting.
KNISCHEK, WENZEL (1 743- 1 806). StX Concertos. Library of Thurn and Taxis: MS.) n.d.
KOMAROVSKY, A. Conscrto in D Minor. Russian publication, 1961.

tive.
KOPPEL, HERMAN D. (1908- ). Clarinct Concerto, Opus 35 with Chamber Orchestra.
Copenhagen: Skandin. Musik Forlag, 1951.
A work of considerable atmosphere, needing close acquaintance for enjoyment.
Very well written in the idiom of the clarinet. The piano reduction is playable,
but there is a definite need for orchestral color.
KROMMER (KRAMARZ), FRANZ V. ( 1 760- 1 83 1 ) . Concerto in Eb, Opus 36. Prague:
Musica Antiqua Bohemica, 1953.
One of three concertos by this composer. Charming, quite idiomatic, and a good
preparation for Mozart. First published by AndrE in Offenbach, 1803.
. Third Conscrto, Opus 86 in E Minor. Offenhach: AndrE, 1818 (?).
Unlike his Opus 36, this is contrived music of vapid melodies and technical passages
for A clarinet. Copy in the Library of Congress. Krommer's second concerto is
unavailable.
. Concerto for Two Clarinets, Opus 91 Offenbach: AndrE, n.d.
Much like the Third Concerto, having no contrapuntal interest. Copy in the
Library of Congress.

An excellently written modern work that finally ends on a C major triad. Worth
study, having a very brilliant and demanding solo part.
KUBITZEK, A. Concerto, Opus 9. Vienna: Doblinger, n.d.
Uninspired, too long, and unreasonably priced.
KURPINSKI, KAROL (I785-I857). Concerto for Clarinet and Orchestra. Cracow: Polskie
Wydawnictwo Muzyczne, 1949.
Composed in I823; somewhat like Spohr but not as good, oSering many technical
problems. Better for study than performance.
LANDRE, GUILLAUME (WILLEM) (contemporary). Concerto, 1957-58. Antwerp: Done-
mus, n.d.
Twelve-tone. Well worked out for those interested in this style. More ensemble
than concerto style.
LARSSON, LARKS ERIK (1908- ). Concertino with Strings, Opus 45 #3. Stockholm:
Gehrmans Musikforlag, n.d. United States represeIltative, Boosey & Hawkes.
Entitled "Hommage a Mozart"; the struggle to be simple is too much for the
composer. One harmonic cliche is run into the ground.

LITOLFF, HENRY (1818-1891). Scherzo Concerto. Arranged by Norman Richardson
London: Boosey & Hawkes, I948.
Freely adapted from the scherzo from Concerto Symphonique Co. 4 (originally for
piano). A brilliant piece that must be played very fast, requiring great finger
agility. It lies quite well for clarinet in the present svell-made arrangement. Rather
repetitious.

MANNS, FERDINAND ( 1844-1922) . Conserto in Bb, Opus 29. Bremen: A. E. Fischer,

c. 1910.
Nothing important here, though the writing is facile and the scoring for ten wood-
winds and ten brass is good. On file in the Fleischer Library.
MARCELLO, BENEDETTO ( 1686-1 739). conGerto in C Minor. Arranged by Joosen.
Wormerveer, Holland: Molenaar, 1 969. United States representative, Henri Elkan.
Arrangement of a good Baroque violin sonata; no chalumeau.
MAURER, LUDWIG WILHEEM (1789-1878). conGerto in Bb Mznor Opus 57. Leipzig:
Hoffmeister, c. 1900.
Well scored, better than most works of the period except for those of Weber and
Spohr. Melodious with easy but decent technical passages. Parts in the Fleischer
Library.
MERZDORF, G. A. Contertino. Dresden: Seeling, c. 1900.
Why did the Fleischer Library bother to copy this score?
MICHEL (1 754-1 786). conGerto No. 8 in Bb. Paris: Pleyel, n.d.
The Library of Congress has MS parts for solo clarinet, first violin, viola, and bass.
Reconstructed score and second violin part by Burnet C. Tuthill; available from
the Library of Congress. Well written for the clarinet and worth reviving, this is one
of fourteen concertos by this composer, whose full name was Michel Yost. Parts for
concertos 9, 10, 11, 12, and 14 available from Himic Voxman, State Urjiversity of
Iowa. A1L in Bb, they are pleasant but have little to say and become monotonous.
It would be enough to revive one of them.
MIGNONE, FRANCISCO (1897). Con4ertino 1957. MS.
An attractive, brilliant work by this recognized Brazilian composer. Melodically
and rhythmically interesting; not easy. Library of Congress has a copy.
MILHAUD, DARIUS ( 1892- ). Conterto. Philadelphia: Elkan-Vogel, 1942.
Written for and dedicated to Benny Goodman, who reportedly never has played
it. Despite attractive moments, difficult and exhausting to play, with few rests.
Milhaud's usual dissonant style.
MOLTER, JOHAN MELCHIOR (c. 1695-1765). Four Concertos for Clarinet. Wiesbaden:
Breitkopf and Hartel, 1957.
Published only in score in volume 41 of Das Erbe Deutscher Musik. All are for clarinet
in D, with middle C the lowest note used and with extensive use made of the high
register. Practical only for the D instrument. Recorded by Lancelot PHC 9078.
MOURANT, WALTER (contemporary). Contertino. New York: American Composers
Alliance, n.d.
Uses a small orchestra but the scoring is too heavy. A noble attempt.
MOZART, LEOPOLD (1719-1787). Concerto. Edited by C. Lillya and M. J. Isaac. New
York: Carl Fischer, n.d.
An Italian edition is in the Library of Congress. This setting is for trumpet, prob-
ably the instrument for which it was written, with a substitute part for clarinet,
for which it becomes a simple and effective solo.
MOZART, W. A. (1756-1791). Conterto, K622. Offenbach: Andre, 1802.
Beyond praise-the perfect concerto. For clarinet in A it is the work of genius in
that Mozart plumbed the expressive depths of the clarinet while it was still in its
primitive mechanical state. The first printed edition has been succeeded by many
others under a variety of editors: Andre, 1870; Breitkopf and Hartel (as part of
the complete edition of Mozart's works); Eulenberg (edited by Rudolf Geiber),
1899; Costallat, 1939; Boosey & Hawkes (revised by Frederick Thurston), 1946;

The orchestra is very important, with the clarinet quasi obbligato and the strings
sometimes subdivided into three parts. A piano edition would hardly work. Very
musical, full of dissonance, and not too difficult for clarinet. Ensemble would need
extensive experience or much rehearsing. Quite an important work.
REISSIGER, KARL G. (1798-1859). Concerto in Eb, Opus 63. Heilbronn: C. F. Schmidt,

In the style of Wieniawski and Vieuxtemps; with standard display passages that
are not too difficult, rates just below the Spohr concertos. Three movements of
pleasant melody.

Sobeck, a clarinet player, also has composed some dull trios for three clarinets, and
this concertino, though well written, shares their dullness. A feature in the cadenza,
according-to the MS. in the Fleischer Library, asks the soloist to trill one note
while playing a melody below it ! Has the aulos returned?
SPOHR, LOUIS ( l 784- 1 859). Concerto No. 1 in C Minor, Opus 26. Leipzig: Peters, 1 922.
This and the three concertos following are splendid works of great technical de-

time better than the allegros. They are more difficult than the Weber works.

STANFORD, SIR CHARLES VILLIERS (1852-1924). Concerto, Opus 80. MS., n.d.
A very musical work that should be published. An examination of the manuscript,
in the possession of Stainer and Bell in London, shows that Stanford used both Bb
and A clarinets; but all the music could be played on a single instrument. Despite
numerous requests to Stainer and Bell since 1926, the firm still has not published

In one extended movement with sections in varied tempi, making full use of all
registers. Melodious and tasteful, though bordering on the sentimental. A welcome
if not great addition to the literature, calling for full orchestra, though the piano
reduction is good.
VERHEY, THEODOR H. H. ( 1848-1929). Concerto in G Minor, Opus 47. Leipzig: Zimmer-
man, c. 1900.
Three movements of considerable charm and brilliance, the middle movement
the weakest. The technical passages are not difficult. Straightforward romantic

Composed in 1811, this well-known work offers more musical problems than are
often realized, requiring the tone control of an artist for full realization. Some
