Subj: Re Grand Duo Concertant written for ?

Alan,

Weber wrote the Grand Duo Concertante for Heinrich Baermann. The second and
third movements were written first, and were performed by Weber himself with
Baermann at a public concert in Munich in 1815. A year later Weber added the
first movement.

Hope this helps!

Having recently purchased a new edition of von Weber's _Grand Duo
Concertante, Op. 48_ (edited by Pamela Weston - Fentone publisher - 1989
- upon the bicentenary of Weber's birth) and upon reading the Forward,
the question, for whom did Weber write this work, is another of those
perhaps unanswerable mysteries.
Anyone out there that would render a definitive answer for Klarinet
readers?
