Acclaimed author of The Baroque Clarinet, Albert R. Rice, now
presents a comprehensive study of the clarinet in use through the
classical period, from 1760 to 1830. During the early part of this
intensive period of musical experimentation, the clarinet was
transformed from a typically baroque instrument to an essential
piece of the classical ensemble. Barely a half century later, in
1812, Iwan Mueller developed the thirteen-keyed clarinet, which
brought the instrument into the Romantic age.
The Clarinet in the Classical Period provides a detailed review of
the achievements of the period's most important clarinet makers,
including James Wood, Teobaldo Monzani, Jean-Francois Simiot, as
well as the innovations of creative performers such as Iwan Mueller
and Cesar Janssen. Rice offers new research regarding the practice
of clef notation by Italian, French, and German composers,
clarifying their use of transposing clarinets. The book also
explores the creative relationships of two key trios of composer,
maker, and performer - Carl Maria von Weber, Heinrich Baermann, and
Jean-Jacques Baumann; and Mozart, Anton Stadler, and Theodore Lotz
- examining how clarinet construction and performance practice
developed in tandem with musical styles.
Essential reading for clarinetists and for those who love their
music, The Clarinet in the Classical Period recounts a fascinating
chapter in the instrument's history.
