    Wow! What a find! So soothing. In terms of reconstruction, how close is this probably to Loeffler’s original?

    • @GraemeSteeleJohnson
      @GraemeSteeleJohnson 23 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Thank you so much! I reconstructed the score directly from Loeffler's manuscript, cross-referencing the autograph score with the hand-copied parts from the first performance in 1897. He was famously obsessive and made a lot of revisions to both documents (which I've tried to represent in my edition of the score), but what you're hearing is mostly the original score, before some large cuts were made. If you'd like to learn more, I discuss this in greater detail in some videos on www.graemesteelejohnson.com/loeffler-rediscovered (scroll to the bottom of the page).

    I am so excited you have found this piece! I am writing a book on the history of the clarinet in 19th-century America, and a few years ago I ran across a newspaper notice of the 1897 concert on which this piece was premiered. I have wondered about it ever since. I have lots of information on the clarinetists who performed on the premiere: Léon Pourtau and Peter Metzger.
