Subj: [kl] Stamitz Clarinet Concerto
Date: Sun, 10 Oct 1999 04:14:52 -0400

I am seeking assistance in identifying a Carl Stamitz Clarinet Concerto.

I have the sheet music and a recording of a work, both labelled as the
(K)Carl Stamitz Concerto for Clarinet #11 in Eb. They are clearly different
works, and one at least is mis-labelled.

The recording is of Sabine Meyer on an EMI CD, #CDC 7 54842 2, tracks 4-6,
performing a work nominated as "Clarinet Concerto No. 11 in E flat", the
three movements being labelled Allegro/Aria (Andante moderato)/Rondo alla
Scherzo (Allegro moderato).

The sheet music is from the Schirmer's Library of Musical Classics Vol 1849,
labelled "Concerto in Eb for Clarinet", arranged by Christmann, the three
movements being labelled Allegro/Siciliano/Rondeau. The Preface to the
sheet music contains the following reference: "In Helmut Boese's
authoritative dissertation... this concerto is listed as the eleventh."

Not unnaturally, I believe one of these to be incorrectly labelled. But
which one? I've checked Groves, and a footnote simply records that Boese
has listed 12 clarinet concertos attributable to Carl Stamitz. I am unable
to access Boese's work, and if it's in German, it would be inaccessible to
me anyway. I don't know which of the Stamitz works were in Eb, but have
recordings which suggest that his Concerto #1 was in "F", both #3 & #10 in
"Bb", and both #7 & #11 in "Eb". My recording of #7 also bears no
resemblance to the sheet music. I have no further knowledge of the other
Carl Stamitz concertos.

Ultimately, I wish to obtain the sheet music to match the CD recording of
the alleged #11. My local sheet music supplier has access to a data-base
which, on this occasion, has been of little help. Is someone on the List
able to assist me?

Thanks,

Michael
