Carl Baermann (1810 - 1885) Allemagne Carl Baermann (24 October 1810 ? 23 May 1885) was
a clarinetist and composer from Munich, Germany.
He was the son of noted clarinet virtuoso Heinrich
Baermann and Helene Harlas. As a child he was
taught the clarinet and the basset-horn by his
father. He played occasionally in the Munich court
orchestra when he was 14 years old, and was
appointed its second clarinettist in 1832. When
his father retired in 1834, Carl succeeded his
father as principal clarinettist. He held that
position until he retired in 1880.
He toured Europe with his father in 1827, 1832 and
1838. In 1833 they premiered Felix Mendelssohn's
Konzert Stücke, Opp. 113 & 114, (Concert Pieces)
to great acclaim. Carl Baermann compositions, 88
opus numbers, were popular with clarinet
virtuosos.
Baermann developed the Baermann-Ottensteiner key
system for the clarinet, which was based on the
Müller system. The system was very popular during
the late 19th century, partly because of
Baermann's Vollständige Clarinett-Schule (Complete
School for the Clarinet), one of the leading
methods for teaching the clarinet, written between
1864 and 1875. (Hide extended text)...(Read all) Source : Wikipedia
