What is a baroque clarinet?
Is there a photo anywhere?

thanks. I have found a lot of transcriptions for clarinet such as the Oboe
Concerto in G minor by Handel and a Vivaldi suite in C minor but no pieces
actually for clarinet. Through the suggestions of people on this list, I
also found that Johann Stamitz (father of Carl) wrote a clarinet concerto
and I listened to it but it wasn't baroque enough for me. Actually, the
cadenza in the first movement very closely resembles Charles Niedich's
Cadenza in his performance of Introduction, Theme, and Variations by Rossini
Since I haven't seen the actual music for the Stamitz, that lead me to
beleive that the performer wrote his own cadenza and got ideas from Niedich
s cadenza. I think it would be very interesting if Stamitz wrote the Cadenza
considering the years seperating his concerto and the Rossini (and Charles
Niedich). It sounds to me like the Cadenzas are nearly interchangeable aside
from the difference in Rythmic motifs. Does anyone know anything?
