Glenn,

Nice list, though inaccurate.

Adams, Mendelssohn, Bruch, and Stravinsky have all written
clarinet concertos.

I also forgot to add Richard Strauss and Leonard Bernstein to my
list of
clarinet-but-not-violin concerto writers.

Additionally, Vieuxtemp, Paganini, and Wieniawski are violinist
composers
who wrote showpieces for the violin, but little else, and
compositionally
are essentially hacks. That is why I left both Heinrich and Carl
Baermann
off of my list of non-violin writers, because they are the
clarinet version
of Vieux, Pag, and Wien.

And, isn't Harty a little obscure? I had to look him up because
I'd never
heard of him.

Point taken though, and bravo for assembling the list! Are these
just off
the top of your head, and are you a violin concerto fan?

And, I'd never heard of the concertos by Schumann and
Schoenberg - I wonder
why noone plays them. Are they as bad as the Rimsky-Korsakov
Clarinet
concerto?
