Concertino - Webe

Weber's Clarinet Concertino is not one of his most important works, but a very pleasing example none the less of his melodious and always effective style of writing. Just as Brahms wrote some fine clarinet works for the great clarinettist Muhlfeld, so this concertino of Weber and two other works which he wrote for clarinet and orchestra were inspired by an earlier great executant, Heinrich Barmann, who was reckoned the finest clarinet player of his time.
As its name implies, the Concertino is not a full-blown example of the form, but a work of smaller scope in one movement, though with clearly defined sections corresponding to the three movements of a full-length concerto. Thus it opens with a slow introduction, which is followed by an air with variations, while a short section of a dance-like character with plenty of display passages for the solo instrument brings it to a conclusion.
