This collection of pieces gleaned from the unaccompanied works of Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) will broaden the horizons of the amateur student and professional musicians alike. It is intended that these transcriptions serveas a teaching aid; helping in study of form phrasing style and other aspects of making music. In addition they may also be utilized for the purpose of performance. It should be noted that some register adjustments have beeninstituted to better suit the range limitations of the clarinet. I have tried my best to be as faithful as possible to Bach's original compositions striving for consistency and continuity of line. All editorial markings (trills dynamics articulations etc.) are solely the editors and are of course open to interpretation. The first set of pieces (Partita BWV 1013) is heavily edited to show that keeping within the standard performance practice of theBaroque style experimentation is expected and encouraged.

Stamitz: Concerto No. 3 in B Flat for Clarinet-Performed by Keith Dwyer clarinetAccompaniment: Stuttgart Festival OrchestraConductor: Emil KahnNo composer likes to write music without feeling that an artist exists both capable of and willing to playit to good advantage. When Carl Maria von Weber met Heinrich Joseph Baermann one of the greatest clarinetists of the early nineteenth century he delightedly began writing all sorts of work for him including several chamberpieces and the two famous clarinet concerti. In his F-minor Concerto No. 1 it is clear that Weber knew the virtuosity of his player-he makes the soloist range over the entire compass of his instrument and such quiet moments asdo occur are invariably surrounded by runs leaps and passagework of the utmost brilliance. A fantastic concerto. Also in this edition is Carl Stamitz's lovely B-flat-major concerto a most beautiful Classical-era work. Includes aprinted solo part for B-flat clarinet and two compact discs containing a complete version with soloist in digitally remastered stereo; then a second version of the orchestral accompaniment minus the soloist; and a -20%slow-tempo version of the accompaniments for practice purposes.
