Theaterzettel des Hof- und Nationaltheater D-Mbs has digitised playbills of the Königliches Hof- und Nationaltheater in its holdings between 1805–1918. The volumes include both stage productions and concerts, though coverage is not comprehensive and from 1865 the volumes appear to only contain stage productions.

Carl Baermann appears regularly as a performer in various contexts, including miscellaneous 'Vocal- und Instrumental-Concert[e]', usually given for the benefit of a specific musician, and the subscription series given by members of the Hofkapelle under various names such as 'abonnirtes Konzert', 'Concert der Mitgleider der Königliche Hofkapelle' and 'Abonnement-Concert'. In these concerts, In these concerts, Baermann performed almost exclusively his own compositions, though chamber works by Beethoven, Hummel, and Mozart do begin to feature occasionally from the mid-1840s. Baermann's works were also performed by other clarinetists, most often his Hofkapelle colleague Faubel at the long-running 'musikalische-declamatorische Abendunterhaltung[en]'.

The digitisations are OCR-searchable, but variant spellings need to be included (for instance 'declamatorische' and 'deklamatorische').

A full list of the holdings and links to digitised volumes can be accessed here.

Weber: Concerto No. 1 in F minor, op. 73 Composer
Carl Maria von Weber

Work title
Clarinet Concerto No. 1 in F minor, op. 73

Composition date
1811

Selected manuscript sources
Autograph score from Weber's private library in D-B ms. autogr. C. M. v. Weber WFN 11.
Autograph copy in Weber's hand, previously owned and used by Heinrich and Carl Baermann, in US-Wc ML30.8b .W4 (see below). This score contains various annotations and alterations, including the insertion of the 16-bar 'Baermann cadenza' in the first movement.

A number of annotations added and subsequently deleted from US-Wc do not have parallels in the later Baermann edition. These likely reflect the ongoing development of the Baermann's performance practices as well as what information they felt needed to be conveyed to the orchestra in rehearsal and performance. The following is based solely on examination of the digitised score; an in-person inspection may yield more information.

I b. 47: [pause symbol]
I b. 96: 'ritard'
I b. 278 indications to slow down: both Weber's hand and subsequent annotations have been excised

II 18–20: alternating Forte and Piano markings on each phrase.

III b. 124: 'poco meno'
III b. 282: 'Tempo I'
III b. 332: 'piu allegro'

Baermann's edition features extensive changes to phrasing and articulation, additional and changed dynamics, additional tempo and expression indications, and metronome marks in the first and second movements. He also adds rehearsal letters.
Notably, Baermann's changes to the phrasing marks tend towards replacing Weber's unusually long slurs with shorter ones, or removing them entirely, creating a more articulated and less legato effect overall.

Transcription Spohr-Briefe (see below)
Summary Spohr thanks Baermann for news of the success of his opera Faust in Munich and expresses the wish to hear it performed by the Munich orchestra, which he esteems. Spohr asks that von Poißl be informed in return that his opera die Prinzessin von Provence was received favourably in Kassel, and suggests that his own relationship with Poißl seems to have deteriorated.
