Krommer (or Kramarz) received his early musical training from his uncle which was sufficient to gain him a place in the court orchestra of a Hungarian Count and its leadership while still in his twenties. He went on to become a choirmaster at Pécs in 1791 and then a military bandmaster followed by the directorship of Count Grassalkovics's orchestra at his palace near Budapest. Krommer settled in Vienna in 1794 where he made a name for himself as a teacher and composer and won favour with the Emperor Francis II, succeeding Leopold Kozeluh as his court composer.

At least 470 compositions are credited to Franz Krommer, 300 of them published including 9 symphonies, 70 string quartets and much "sonorous and idiomatic" music for wind ensemble for which he is best known today. He was strongly influenced by Haydn and Mozart, "but original ideas may be found in his works" which were well received by amateur players of the time for their technical accessibility. The Eb Major Op.36 concerto for clarinet and orchestra was published in about 1803 and is in typical three movement form. The first movement (Allegro) includes a 50 bar exposition of the theme before the soloist enters, is heroic in style and has been compared to Mozart's Prague Symphony. The second movement (Adagio) seems to anticipate the operatic aria 'Una furtive lagrima' by Donizetti and the concerto ends in a Rondo (Allegro moderato) which, like the two preceding movements, demonstrates the lyrical qualities of the clarinet rather than its bravura aspect.

  • Adagio
  • Rondo, Allegro moderato
