Clarinet Concerto No. 1 (Spohr)

The Clarinet Concerto No. 1 in C minor, Op. 26, was composed by Louis Spohr through fall 1808, and published in 1812.

Movements

  1. Adagio - Allegro (in C minor and sonata form, ends in C major)
  2. Adagio (in A-flat major and modified sonata form without development)
  3. Rondo (Vivace) (in C minor and in sonata rondo form) - The overall form is "First Subject in C minor - Secondary Subject in E-flat major - First Subject in C minor - Development in A-flat major - Secondary Subject in C major - First Subject in C minor - Coda in C minor". Unlike many classical works, the finale fades away in C minor, instead of ending with loud chords.
