How about Carl Maria von Weber?

Oy! Talk about some stirring clarinet pieces!

I sell my soul to be able to play something like the Premiere Rhapsodie pour
Clarinette et Piano!

And by the way, has anyone ever heard Emma Johnson's CD set entitled: "The
Art of Emma Johnson?"
Is it worth the $40.00 or so for the set?

Yours,
