>> For a current project, I am interested in composers of the first half of the
>> 19th century. In my search, I dug out a book with a lovely collection of
>> clarinet solos (with piano accomp.) called Recital Literature for the Clarinet
>> Vol. II publ. by William H. Stubbins at George Wahr Publ. Co. Ann Arbor
>> Copyright 1949. Why do so many (especially American) publishers offer
>> composers with no first names?? I've tried to find out who these composers are
>> and have had very little success! I checked the big German language
>> encyclopedia (MGG) and P. Weston's Books and, of course a search on Google and
>> on Klarinet.
>>
>> Here are the composers, pieces - and what I found out.
>> Can anybody supply any more info?
>> Thanks in advance,
>> David
>>
>> E. Avon, Prelude and Rigaudon - found absolutely nothing!
>>
>> J. Ed. Barat, Chant Slave - found that this is also published by Leduc, that
>> his full name may have been Joseph Eduorad. Possible birth date: 1882.
>> Possible death date: 6 May 1998 (doesn't fit too well, does it?)
>>
>> Robert Clérisse, Promenade - his dates may be 1899-1973. That's all I
>> found.
>>
>> V. Dyck, Invocation to Euterpe - lovely piece but as far as looking for a
>> person, that's about as much help as J. Smith.
>>
>> J. Déré, Andante et Scherzo - also publ. by southern. A certain Jean
>> Dère taught in Paris in 1923 (MGG).
>>
>> P. Genin, Cantilène op.64 and Melodie with Variation op. 63 - found
>> nothing
>>
>> Marcel Gennaro, Andante et Scherzo - also publ. by Billaudot, was Solo de
>> Concours at Paris Cons. 1932. Birth date may be 1888.
>>
>> Max Laurischkus, Three Pieces op. 30 - also wrote "Aus Litauen" op. 23 for
>> ww5tet. Dates: Insterburg 1876 - 1929 Berlin.
>>
>> A. Longo, Suite op. 62 - seems to be Achille Longo 28.3.1900-28.5.1954 Naples.
>> The pieces in the book are supposedly all original for clarinet but my MGG
>> says this was a piece for "a woodwind instrument" and piano written in 1924.
>>
>> A. Magnani, solo de concert - must be Aurelio M. 26 Feb. 1856 - 25 Jan 1921,
>> Italian, dedicated to Turban, publ. by Evette & Schaeffer 1902.
