Re: Weber's Funeral

I couldn't find any such reference in Pamela Weston's essay in "The Cambridge Compendium." I don't own a biography of Weber. The only editions of sheet music I own are from Carl Fischer and International (with the orchestral scores in piano reduction); none of them include historical notes. I checked Jack Brymer's "The Clarinet," David Pino's "The Clarinet and Clarinet Playing," Robert Willaman's "The Clarinet and Clarinet Playing," Anthony Baines's "Woodwind Instruments and Their History, Grove's, the Oxford Companion to Music and Baker's Encyclopedia. The only information I found (in the encyclopedias only, not in any of the clarinet-specific books) was that at the funeral, and/or at a memorial service 18 years later, Wagner conducted selections from a Weber opera (or operas--different sources name different works!), that he (Wagner, I think they mean) arranged for wind instruments. The entries I found were vague and unsatisfactory. None of them corroborated the story about the slow movement of the First Concerto. Sorry!
