Louis Spohr: Premier concerto pour la clarinette op.26. Parts. Leipzig: Peters. PN 964. Very likely published around 1814 shortly after the death of Kühnel (the previous owner of the publishing house, dated through the plate number). Folio. Complete set of parts: solo clarinet, as well as 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 clarinos (=trumpets), timpani, 3 first violins, 2 second violins, 2 violas, 3 cellos/double bass. Solo part heavily worn on the margins, some tears in the title page, binding taped. The other parts mainly in good condition, sometimes a bit soiled.
A full score of the clarinet concerto op.26 by Spohr was published not until 1957 (!) by Bärenreiter. Therefore full scores had to be done by copyists the time before. This set includes such a handwritten full score. The score consists of 124 pages in a professional music handwriting. The work is written on music papers of the „Hofbuchbinder Timbe“ in Oldenburg. The main activity of this company was between 1880 and 1900. And it seems likely that the full score was created at the same time. Folio format. Margins worn and a bit soiled, otherwise good.
