Description
The composer and violin virtuoso Johann Stamitz is renowned for establishing the world-famous Mannheim school in the 18th century. He is also celebrated among clarinettists for composing the first true clarinet concerto. While Stamitz wrote just a single concerto, it has enjoyed enduring popularity since its rediscovery in the 20th century, becoming a staple of the concert repertoire. The work's moderate technical demands make it well-suited for music students as preparation for the more challenging solo parts found in the works of composers like Mozart, Weber, and Spohr.
