Abstract Details

2010, DMA, University of Cincinnati, College-Conservatory of Music: Clarinet.
Carl Baermann’s (1810—1885) legacy continues to influence modern clarinetists. He was the son of Heinrich Baermann (1784—1847), the clarinetist for whom Carl Maria von Weber (1786—1826) composed his clarinet works. Lesser known as a performer than his father, the younger Baermann influenced clarinet history through his pedagogical writings, editorial contributions, compositions, and mechanical design of the clarinet. During the years 1864—1875, he wrote a clarinet manual which discussed his concept of tone production, technique, and clarinet equipment. He worked with publisher Robert Lienau to produce his versions of Weber’s clarinet works. He primarily employed his father’s performance notes of these works to produce the Baermann editions of the two Weber Concertos and Concertino. He sought to document his father’s performance practice by having all of his father’s additions such as articulations, flourishes, and cadenzas published in one edition. Baermann also worked with the woodwind maker Georg Ottensteiner (1815—1879) to produce the Baermann-model clarinet, of which the modern German clarinet is a direct descendant. Baermann shaped clarinet history through his multiple contributions to many subjects of clarinet research, production, and performance.
