CONCERTO No.3 in Bb major

Having served an eight year apprenticeship as a violinist in the then famous Mannheim orchestra, Carl Stamitz embarked on a career as a travelling virtuoso which took him to Paris, Prague, St. Petersburg and London where some of his works were published. Besides some 80 symphonies, he is said to have written 12 clarinet concerti, 5 of which were published, the remainder apparently surviving in manuscript. It is also suggested that he was the first to realize the solo potential of the clarinet and with his concerti, paved the way for Mozart and Weber to follow with theirs. This concerto is dated to about 1785, when Stamitz was in Paris, and was probably written for the well-known Bohemian clarinettist, Josef Beer.
