(Leisinger & Ulrich)
Pub: BREITKOPF & HAERTEL
" Original Weber: The popular Quintet with piano
The piano version of the B flat major Quintet Op. 34 prepared by Carl Maria
von Weber himself will no doubt cause some surprise among clarinetists as
well. To this day few people know that the composer arranged his work for
clarinet and piano as soon as he heard about the success of the original
scoring. Weber, himself a talented pianist, transposed the string quartet
sound to the piano in an effortless and very idiomatic manner. In Weber's
version for clarinet and piano, the Quintet proves to be just as suitable
for concert performance as for the rehearsing of the original chamber
setting. Ulrich Leisinger's source studies show that Weber very carefully
followed the publication of the first edition in 1816. Divergences from the
quintet version (EB 5830) are indicated in the new edition."

I understand there is no Urtext to the Weber Quintet (I hope my
sources are incorrect). Do any of you have a good edition to
recommend? Does anyone know why there is no manuscript facsimile or urtext?
Thanks,
