![]() | 1. Beethoven: Symphony No. 1 in C Major Stereo: http://br.youtube.com/watch?v=YiOdqSG1FX4&fmt=18 Ludwig van Beethoven (1770 - 1827). Symphony No. 1 in C Major: 1st mov: Adagio molto - Allegro con brio. Anima Eterna. Dir: Jos Van Immerseel. Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 1 in C Major (Op. 21) was written in 1799 - 1800. The symphony premiered April 2, 1800 at the K.K. Hoftheater nächst der Burg in Vienna, and is dedicated to Baron Gottfried van Swieten, an early patron of the composer. The piece was published in 1801 by Hoffmeister & Kühnel of Leipzig. The symphony is clearly indebted to Beethoven's predecessors, particularly his teacher Haydn, but nonetheless has characteristics that clearly mark it as Beethoven's work, notably the frequent use of sforzandi and the prominent use of wind instruments. Sketches for the finale are found among the exercises Beethoven wrote while studying counterpoint under Albrechtsberger in the spring of 1795. The symphony is scored for 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets in C and D (see note below), 2 bassoons, 2 horns in C and F, 2 trumpets in C, timpani and strings. The clarinet parts are commonly played on B clarinet, as C and D clarinets are no longer widely used. However, there is some controversy over whether they should be played on E instruments instead. The E clarinet's timbre is much closer to that of the C and D clarinets than that of the warmer-sounding B clarinet. There are four movements: 1. Adagio molto - Allegro con brio. 2. Andante cantabile con moto. 3. Menuetto: Allegro molto e vivace. 4. Adagio - Allegro molto e vivace. The twelve-bar introduction of the first movement is often considered a musical joke, but it may simply be a result of Beethoven's experimentation: it consists of a sequence of dominant-tonic chord sequences in the wrong key, so that the listener only gradually realizes the real key of the symphony. There is a shortened recapitulation before the coda which closes the first movement. The andante (in F Major, the subdominant) of the second movement is played considerably faster than the general concept of that tempo, at what could be thought of as moderato. The third movement is remarkable because, although it is marked Menuetto, it is so fast that it is ostensibly a scherzo. The finale opens with another possible joke, consisting of partial scales played slowly before the full C-major scale marks the real start of the allegro. |

![]() | Clarinet Concerto in B Flat Major K.622 - Mozart Part I Mozart's Clarinet concerto in A major, K. 622 was written in 1791 for the clarinetist Anton Stadler. It consists of the usual three movements, in a fast-slow-fast form: Allegro Adagio Rondo: Allegro The concerto is frequently described as 'autumnal' due to the lyrical Adagio and the emotive passages in minor keys in the outer movements. It was also one of Mozart's final completed works, and indeed his final purely instrumental work (he died in the December following its completion). The concerto is notable for its delicate interplay between soloist and orchestra, and for the lack of overly extroverted display on the part of the soloist (no cadenzas are written out in the solo part). |

![]() | 1929 Normandy Clarinet in B-flat This excellent example of Parisian craftsmanship from the height of the Big Band era has an all granadilla body with solid nickel keys. The tone is mellow and deep with not even a hint of brightness. This is a numbered piece, but of professional grade. With its original alligator skin over teak case, I just brought it out of humidor conditioning. |
