Work for Clarinet solo. The composer writes 'The title refers to several levels in the piece. Partly a method I have used where three lines are weaved so they become one line here the clarinet which can (nearly) only play one tone at the time. Either the three parts disappear and become one waving melodic line as in the beginning of the piece. Or they are put in different registers of the clarinet so they are heard as separate lines weaving into one another. On a different level there is three different sequences which are also weaved into one another; one which rises (for instance in the beginning) and one which falls and one which falls in parallels in severalregisters. These three sequences become faster and faster every time they reappear. The idea of weaving melodic lines was inspired by Bach’s pieces for solo strings where he in a marvellous way established several simultaneous melodic lines without simultaneous sounding notes. This happened by weaving parts which in other works would sound simultaneously into one another so that only one note was heard at the time. This meant that in that long line which was heard as the instrument’s development of the piece other melodies were weaving around each other with different focuses. Woven Lines was commissioned by DUT with support from the Danish Arts’ Council.'

in B-Dur / Bb Major-German composer Carl Stamitz wrote more than 60 concertos for Violin Viola Viola d'amore Cello Clarinet Basset Horn Flute Bassoon and other instruments. Some of the Clarinet and Viola concertos that Stamitz composed are considered to be among the finest available from the period. Stylistically Stamitz's music is not too far removed from the works of the young Mozart or those of Haydn's middle period. The Clarinet Concerto No. 3 was likely written around 1785 which was the same year that Stamitz was appointed the lead Violin of the Duc de Noailles in Paris. The style of thisconcerto reflects the usual orchestration found in the mid-eighteenth century where most of the important musical material was given to the strings while the winds were left to fill in the harmony. Carl Stamitz's style is pleasant and free-flowing as nicely illustrated in this concerto.
