Clarinet Concertos Nos. 1 and 2 in Full Score (Dover Music Scores)
by Music Scores, Carl Maria von Weber
These popular clarinet concertos, both written in 1811, follow in the classical tradition of Mozart while showcasing the instrument's new technical possibilities. They arose from the fortunate introduction of composer Carl Maria von Weber to one of the era's greatest clarinetists, Heinrich Joseph Baermann. Excited by the performer's virtuosity, von Weber created these two works, which have since become cornerstones of the clarinet repertoire.
In the Concerto No. 1 in F Minor, Op. 73, the solo clarinetist has the opportunity to range over the instrument's entire compass, with brilliant runs, leaps, and passagework. The Concerto No. 2 in E-flat Major, Op. 74, features a long first movement with considerable development, a spellbinding "Barcarolle" second movement, and a sparkling final "Polacca". These two works appear here in full score and for the first time in a single volume, offering insightful delights for performers and listeners alike.

Clarinet and Saxophone Rhapsodies: The Piano and Orchestral Versions in One Volume (Dover Chamber Music Scores)
by Music Scores, Claude Debussy
Claude Debussy’s Première Rhapsodie pour Clarinette and his Rapsodie pour Saxophone were originally composed as chamber works with piano; later, they were arranged by the composer as works for full orchestra. This volume consists of both works with piano accompaniment and in full score.
Debussy’s Première Rhapsodie pour Clarinette is the instrument's first truly important twentieth-century work. Like the Rapsodie pour Saxophone, it offers revealing insights into the composer's sense of orchestration. The piano versions of both works, stripped to their essentials, provide intriguing glimpses into Debussy's harmonic mind.
Both pieces are staples of the repertoire for their respective instruments, and this new edition is the only one available that includes both chamber and orchestral versions of these popular works.

Piano Concerto No. 20, K466, and Piano Concerto No. 21, K467 (Dover Miniature Music Scores)
by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Music Scores
Considered two of Mozart's most important, far-reaching, and richly inventive piano concertos, the D minor, K466, and the C major, K467, represent the composer at his creative peak. Never before had Mozart so intensely explored the concerto form — with its inherent struggle of one individual voice against many. And yet the two works are very different — the D minor, tragic and intense; the C major, majestic and grand.
Both are published here in full score with bar-numbered movements. Ideal for study in the classroom, at home, or in the concert hall, this affordable, high-quality, conveniently sized volume will be the edition of choice for music students and music lovers alike.
