Even when he was still a young student of composition, Weber considered the preparation of a piano score to be an important task. The high standards he demanded may be one of the reasons why he generally prepared the piano scores of his works himself. In this respect it can be said that Weber played an important part in the development of the modern piano score, as his efforts were focused on producing an independent version of the work in a different medium of sound. He also tried to reproduce the impression of writing for a number of interrelated parts, of changing between instruments or creating particular sound effects.

Carl Maria von Weber's importance as a composer for the clarinet is generally known. This volume of the Complete Edition contains for the first time a CD-ROM, thus pursuing new editorial techniques. The CD-ROM offers additional information on the sources, enabling the user to easily comprehend the Critical Notes: The respective source information is displayed on all interesting passages, including a synopsis of the source. Contents: Variations on a theme from the opera Silvana for clarinet and piano, B-flat Major Op. 33 (WeV P.7) · Quintet for clarinet, 2 violins, viola and violoncello B-flat Major Op. 34 (WeV P.11) with a digital edition of Weber's Clarinet Quintet · Grand Duo concertant for clarinet and piano E-flat Major Op. 48 (WeV P.12).

Weber's clarinet concertos offer rewarding tasks to the player and give him the opportunity to show his brilliant virtuosity and achieve unusual effects while using all registers. Characterized by virtuoso colours and unbridled joy of playing, both works have become firmly established in the concert repertoire since then - although in the days of Weber the clarinet was still a new instrument in the orchestra.

Dowani 3 Tempi Play Along is an effective and time-tested method of practicing that offers more than conventional play-along editions. Dowani 3 Tempi Play Along enables you to learn a work systematically and with accompaniment at different tempi. The first thing you hear on the CD is the concert version in a first-class recording with solo instrument and orchestral, continuo, or piano accompaniment. Then the piano or harpsichord accompaniment follows in slow and medium tempo for practice purposes with the solo instrument heard softly in the background at a slow tempo. Finally, you can play at the original tempo to the accompaniment of an orchestra, piano, or basso continuo. All versions appearing on the CD were recorded live by renowned soloists, accompanists, and orchestras. There are no synthesised sounds in a Dowani edition!

Piano Reduction.

This new edition is based exclusively on sources authorized by the composer and supplies the original text freed from the clutter of later editorial insertions (mainly intended to preserve the alleged interpretation of the clarinet player Heinrich Bärmann).

CD Solo Series is designed to help instrumental soloists improve their performances by making practice time more productive with the included "live" piano accompaniment. Piano accompaniment part also included.

The horn is surely the most romantic of instruments, and it is a well-known fact that it plays a prominent role in Weber's oeuvre.Der Freischütz and Oberon would be unthinkable without their horn calls, whether to signify yearning or the clarion call of the hunt. But Weber did more than give the instrument important solo parts in his operas; he also wrote a virtuoso concert piece that to this day is regarded as one of the most difficult in the whole horn repertoire - not least because the soloist has to play three-part chords (!) in the cadenza. This Henle Urtext edition is based on the autograph, the engraver's copy (checked by Weber himself) and the first edition, and so offers the best possible musical text for those wishing to learn this highly effective virtuoso piece. The Preface also for the first time provides biographical details of Sebastian Rauch, the Munich horn player who commissioned this Concertino.

Carl Maria von Weber's Concerto in F minor is among the compositions of first rank for solo clarinet and is permanently established in the world's concert repertoire. For purposes of comparison, Norbert Gertsch's urtext edition with piano reduction presents the original solo part alongside Carl Bärmann's well-known version (both parts are enclosed in the volume). The accompanying notes offer a thorough discussion of the significance of these two versions and their relation to each other.

Now the Concertino and the First Clarinet Concerto are about to be followed by Weber's Second Concerto in E-flat major, edited by Norbert Gertsch. Once again, the piano reduction contrasts the original solo part with the widely known version by Carl Bärmann (both parts are separately enclosed). The accompanying preface offers a detailed explanation of the importance of both versions and how they interrelate.

Originally for Clarinet and Orchestra (piano reduction).

There were two reasons behind Weber's hesitation to perform his opus 79, known as Concert Piece in public. As he wrote to the music journalist Friedrich Rochlitz, experience had shown that concertos in minor keys were not as well-received by the public. Furthermore he was worried that he would be misjudged as a musical charlatan because while composing it he had visions of a dramatic love story at the time of the crusades, which had influenced the character of the work. His concerns were superfluous; the effective virtuoso piece conquered the concert stages all over the world. It is now available for the first time as an Urtext edition. The world famous pianist Marc-André Hamelin provided the fingering.
