Clarinet Concerto No. 2 in E-Flat Major, Op. 57 Piano Reduction Publisher: Henle Urtext Edition Score and Solo Part Composer: Louis Spohr Editor: Ulrich Scheideler Louis Spohr's concertos have long been a standard feature in the clarinet repertoire, but up to now they have suffered due to a lackof reliable editions. In order to fill this gap, G. Henle Publishers is now following its edition of the Concerto no. 1 in c minor (HN 995) with a critical edition of the Concerto no. 2 in E flat. This is the only one of Spohr’s four clarinet concertos in a majorkey, and its buoyant atmosphere and joie de vivre remain captivating - especially in the final, “alla polacca” movement. It is hard to believe that this is the first-ever Urtext edition of this concerto! For this edition, Ullrich Scheideler has consulted both the first edition of 1822, published in Leipzig, as well as an important early manuscript. A new, practical, easy-to-play piano arrangement of the orchestral accompaniment has been made by Christoph Sobanski. The orchestral parts may be hired from Breitkopf & Härtel. $25.95 (US) Inventory # HL51480996 UPC: 888680950552 Series: Henle Music Folios Format: Softcover Publisher Code: HN996 Width: 9.0" Length: 12.0" 52 pages
