Summary of This Score
The Clarinet Concerto in c minor from 1809 (op. 26) is the very first Louis Spohr work to join our catalog, and it is above all a prestigious introduction. The first in a series of four concertos composed for the virtuoso Johann Simon Hermstedt, this concerto has stood the test of time without losing its charm: romantic lyricism, expressive contrasts, and brilliant solo writing make it a piece regularly studied both at conservatories and on stage.
This edition is distinguished by its musicological approach: beyond a careful examination of the first edition published in Leipzig in 1812, it offers a re-evaluation of the autograph source, made possible after its rediscovery. This return to the sources allows the elimination of many approximate details, the unification of certain irregularities, and the proposal of a more reliable text for interpretation, audition preparation, or in-depth study.
For accompanist pianists as well as clarinetists, the piano reduction by Christoph Sobanski provides real playing comfort. It effectively supports the solo line while remaining pleasant to read and implement in rehearsal. An ideal score for approaching Spohr seriously, benefiting from a revised version that respects the spirit and subtlety of this major romantic concerto.
