  Composer
  Carl Maria von Weber
  
  Work title
  Grand duo concertant, op. 48
  
  Composition date
  1815–16
  
  Manuscript Sources
  Autograph sketches in D-B
  Autograph fair copy is digitised in US-Wc. According to Allroggen and Holsträter, these were made by Weber for his own archive, and do not derive from same source as D-B.
  Engraver’s proof is in A-Wst.
  
  Early prints
  First edition, Schlesinger pl. 253 (1817), digitised by D-Mbs (see below)
  
  Carl Baermann Edition
  Robert Lineau pl. S. 5590 (1869). Commercially available as RL36080. Comparative clarinet part forthcoming.
  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.
  
  Metronome marks:
  Allegro con fuoco: minim = 116
  Andante con moto: crotchet = 48
  Rondo Allegro: no mark
  
  Modern editions
  Weber Sämtliche Werke VI Bd. 3., Schott WGA 1063 (2005), edited by Gerhard Allroggen and Knut Holsträter. Also published as Schott KLB 58. Gives priority to the engraver's proof (A-Wst).

• 1 2025-06-13T14:03:25+01:00 Weber: Clarinet Concerto No. 1 in F minor, op. 73 1 Sources and editions plain 1525475 2025-06-13T14:03:25+01:00 Composer
  Carl Maria von Weber
  
  Work title
  Clarinet Concerto No. 1 in F minor, op. 73
  
  Composition date
  1811
  
  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'
