Hey all...
I'm performing the Stamitz Concerto No.3 and I wasn't sure how fast the third movement is normally played...anyone have any suggestions? Also any input on the piece would be appreciated, thanks!
Happy playing,
Abbie

I'm also performing the Stamitz No.3 and I'm taking the tempo about dotted quarter=104-108.
It's a great piece. Don't you love it? :o)
Have fun!
Becky :O)

What a coincidence! I'm working on this piece too, specifically the third movement right now. Anyway, the recording that I have goes at about dotted quarter equals 88; I've found that, as long as you're at or over dotted quarter equals 80, it flows nicely. My big tips have to do with some things my teacher, who plays on Classical era reconstruction clarinets, told me: most importantly, that it is IMPOSSIBLE to really sustain on those horns. This means that the sound quality they produce is a lot lighter than the current sound. I found I could get the required sound by keeping the eighths in short, light, staccato, and by playing with a lot of pulse in the sixteenth note sections. In the third movement, where there's the sixteenth note section, put a bit of an accent on the first of every sixteenth note pair. I found that really lightened up the piece for me, and actually made me able to play it a bit faster. Hope this all helps!

I prefer the tempo of 100 for my Accompaniment recording of the 3rd mvt. To me it is not too fast, nor too slow. 80-90 makes me sleepy
I have about 8 students playing it right now.

Oh wow, THE concerto to play in intermediate! Little bit on the hard side for some students though(bordering on 5-6 for a solo), I liked it a lot. Has anyone heard Sabina Meyer's version of it? It's pretty good, but she adds a lot of "flourishes", and doesn't tounge the sixteenth notes.

I have been trying to find that recording, but have had no luck...who produces it?
Becky--it IS a fun...though I wish I had a little more time to prepare it (I'm playing it next week)! Hah, as long as my nerves don't get to me and I end up playing it at 200 or so, it'll be fun! My personal favorite is the first movement, I think.
Good luck playing it!

The label for the Sabine Meyer CD is on EMI Classics. It is titled: Johann & Carl Stamitz: Clarinet Concertos. Sabine Meyer performs with the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields. I highly recommend it.
Also, Music Minus One has an orchestral version of the Stamitz Concerto No. 3. It also comes with a Weber Concerto.

I have the Sabine Meyer recording of it. That's where I got my dotted quarter=104 tempo from. She takes it pretty quickly. I follow along with my music though, and she does take quite a few 'liberties' with the piece. She's a fantastic clarinetist though! I love listening to her recordings. :o)
