Hi All!

Does anyone know of a cadence in the Weber concerto No 2, 2nd mov. by Baermann?
If so, is it published somewhere?
Thanks

I think you might find what you need in:

Google is your friend!

Just a point of English usage (which may be the reason you didn't find this for yourself) .... What you want is not Baermann's "cadence" but his "cadenza". In English, "cadence" just means the two chords at the end of a phrase - perfect cadence, interrupted cadence and so on.

Thanks for the correction norbert...
However, I can't be sure that the publication contains the cadenza I need. So if anyone knows which edition has the Baermann cadenza in the 2nd mov. of weber 2 please write so I can order it!
Thanks again,
Michal

What Norbert is trying to hint at via the link he posted is that the Henle Urtext Edition comes with two clarinet parts. One follows the original MS by Weber, the other is the version edited by Carl Baermann. The latter includes a brief "cadenza" in the 2nd movement (essentially a jump from g# to top d, down the a minor harmonic scale back to g#, jump up to clarion f, and via e to the final a). So if you are seriously studying the Weber, the Henle edition might be a decent starting point: it is very recent and includes detailed editorial remarks that I found an interesting read.

Incidentally, most later editions have used the Baermann version as their starting point. So for instance, the Eulenburg pocket partition includes the abovementioned cadenza as if it had been composed by Weber.
