Description
Carl Maria von Weber composed his Clarinet Concerto in F minor in the course of only a few weeks in 1811. It was written for Heinrich Joseph Baermann (1784–1847), the clarinetist of the Munich Hofkapelle, to whom it was also dedicated. The work had a resounding success at its first performance in Munich on 13 June 1811. The F-minor Concerto was first published in 1822.,,The work adheres to the classical three-movement form. Exceptional are, however, two short and highly romantic chamber-music sections for clarinet and horn trio, which constitute the middle section and the closing measures of the Adagio.
