Clarinet Concerto No. 1 in F minor, Op. 73 (1811)
1. Allegro moderato (0:00)
2. Adagio ma non troppo (7:45)
3. Rondo. Allegretto (Allegro) (13:37)
Walter Boeykens, clarinet and the Rotterdam Philharmonic conducted by James Conlon
Description by James Leonard
Carl Maria von Weber (1786-1826) composed his Clarinet Concerto No. 1 in F minor, Op. 73, in 1811 after his Concertino for Clarinet and Orchester in E flat major, Op. 26, and before his Clarinet Concerto No. 2 in E flat major, Op. 74. All three works were written for and dedicated to the clarinetist Heinrich Joseph Baermann, and all three show a complete understanding of the capabilities of the instrument. Weber's Clarinet Concerto No. 1 is distinctly different from the earlier concertino: where the earlier work is lightly playful and lyrically expressive, the Concerto No. 1 is deeply serious and dramatically, almost operatically, expressive. The concerto is in three movements: a forceful opening Allegro, an intensely expressive central Adagio, and an energetic closing Rondo Allegretto. Weber is clearly a master of the Romantic orchestra, and his writing for the soloists is supremely skillful throughout.

The sound of clarinet is from the heaven! I once tried to learn it but it was too difficult to me - right thumb was so painful to hold it, the reed needs to be maintained so meticulously, some notes were impossible to make a right tune… So I moved to flute which does not require reed, no pain with fingers. I am reasonably happy with the flute but it requires blowing skills to make perfect pitch like a violin. But I still envy with clarinet sound.

So little respect for scores these days. The last two notes of bars 80-81 are nearly always played an octave lower. And, in the second movement, the basses are "tacit"; but always (as here) conductors have them doubling the cello line throughout -- diverting attention away from the simplicity of the clarinet line with super-low notes (that were impossible to play when this was written).

@bartjebartmans Жыл бұрын

Sure, but what I am more interested in is the incredible musicianship of the soloist. Who cares about a doubling of the cello. It might very well have to do with the acoustics of the place. Doubling can create a better balance in the orchestra. Just one thought.

@cloudymccloud00 Жыл бұрын

@@bartjebartmans Nothing to do with the acoustics -- I can assure you. It's *always* done. No shortage of conductors / performers (Michael Collins, "conducting from the clarinet" does it too) who think they can "improve" on the meticulously crafted creation of a genius. And you'd be better able to appreciate the soloist (who is terrible, btw) if the ear wasn't constantly diverted away from the top line by the growling basses -- which also ruins appreciation of the cello line, with all the open C's, etc. Why publish the score if you don't care what's in it? That's my thought. (Glad you did, though -- and thank you for that!) Actually, I wasn't quite right: he does (12:34) bring the basses in, but only for six bars -- effect of which is of course completely lost if they're already in. And then the marvellous horns and clarinet only at the end of the movement. I think Weber knew what he was doing. Why not give the man a chance?
