Early 19th century clarinet virtuoso and composer Heinrich Baermann traveled extensively throughout his career. This collection contains three clarinet works by Baermann that have largely been forgotten. “It is the hope of this editor that by studying and performing these works, clarinetists will gain a better understanding of one of our most important predecessors,” says Madelyn Moore. Moore researched unpublished works of Baermann at libraries in Germany and Italy before writing this book.
