Concerto No. 2 in E-flat Major, Op. 74 - Clarinet and Piano

Weber's two clarinet concertos were written in 1811, the same year as the famous Concertino.  The concertos present the same editorial problems as the Concertino, with the soloist's son Carl Baermann having created new and somewhat re-written versions of these works for publication in 1870, but also with Weber's manuscripts and the first published editions being incomplete regarding dynamics and articulation.  At least in the case of the Concertino, one could opine that some of the re-written figures or phrases are more effective for the clarinet than the originals.  A manuscript copy of the full score of Concerto No. 2, made by Weber for soloist Heinrich Baermann, now resides in the Pierpont Morgan Library in New York, but has not been digitized online as of autumn 2017. 

Editor, and piano reduction by, Eric Simon.  Foreword in English and German.  Practical performing edition.  Editor consulted Weber's manuscript.  This edition uses slurs in the solo part to produce a more lyrical effect than the usual approach to tonguing in technical passages.
