Subj: [kl] Who wrote this concero?
Date: Sat, 30 Nov 2002 10:44:15 -0500

I have just received a wonderful CD with Eduard Brunner as soloist playing
three of J. X. Lefevre's clarinet concertos, nos. 3, 4, and 6. I have the
sheet music for the concerto #6, as well as an old audio tape of it that
was played decades ago on WQXR's "Music from Germany" program. I was aware
of the existence of the concerto #4, because I saw it (and #6) in the score
published by Heugel. So I was eager to hear the Lefevre clarinet concerto
#3, since I was totally unaware of it. As I listened to the CD, the
concerto #3 sounded strangely familiar, but I couldn't really remember
how. I KNEW I played this work, but don't own the sheets for Lefevre's
#3. Well, it took this aging brain a full 24 hours to realize that the
"concerto #3 by LEFEVRE" on this CD is published by "English Woodwind
Edition (Nova music, ed. H. Voxman) as JAMES HOOK'S CONCERTO IN Eb!!! So
could someone set me straight on this- Is this work by Lefevre or
Hook? And what could cause such a monumental mixup?
