While best known for his operatic works, von Weber also composed a number of pieces for clarinet, piano, basoon as well as two symphonies.   Weber's operas greatly influenced the development of the Romantische Oper (Romantic opera) in Germany. It is thought that "Oberon" may have influenced Mendelssohn's music for A Midsummer Night's Dream, also revealing Weber's lifelong interest in the music of non-Western cultures. In the incidental music for "Turandot", von Weber even utilized a Chinese melody, making him the first Western composer to use an Asian tune.   [Carl Maria von Weber Clarinet Titles - See All →](   [Cover Image]( [Clarinet Concerto No. 1 in F minor, Op. 73](   Carl Maria von Weber's Concerto in F minor is among the compositions of first rank for solo clarinet and is permanently established in the world's concert repertoire.   This urtext edition presents the original solo part alongside Carl Bärmann's well-known version, offering a thorough discussion of the significance of these two versions and their relation to each other.     [Clarinet Concerto No. 2 in Eb major Op. 74](     [Clarinet Concerto No. 2 in Eb major Op. 74](     [Concertino for Clarinet, Op. 26](     [Concertino for Clarinet, Op. 26](     [Grand Duo concertant in E flat Op. 48 for Clarinet (Violin) and Piano](     [Grand Duo concertant in E flat Op. 48 for Clarinet (Violin) and Piano](     [Fantasia and Rondo](     [Fantasia and Rondo](     [Carl Maria von Weber Piano Titles - See All →](     [Invitation to the Dance D Flat Major Op. 65](     [Invitation to the Dance D Flat Major Op. 65](     [Andante and Rondo Ungarese (Piano, Viola)](     [Andante and Rondo Ungarese (Piano, Viola)](     [Original Works for Piano Duet Opp. 3, 10, 60](     [Original Works for Piano Duet Opp. 3, 10, 60](     [Complete Sonatas, Invitation to the Dance and Other Piano Works](     [Complete Sonatas, Invitation to the Dance and Other Piano Works](     [Carl Maria von Weber Opera Titles - See All →](     [Euryanthe - Overture (Orchestra Score)](     [Euryanthe - Overture (Orchestra Score)](     [Der Freischutz, Op. 77 (Study Score)](     [Der Freischutz, Op. 77 (Study Score)](     [Oberon (Vocal Score)](     [Oberon (Vocal Score)](     [Hunters' Chorus](     [Hunters' Chorus](  [audio](     [SHOP NOW >](         Stay Connected: [Facebook](   [Twitter](   [Instagram](   [Blog]( Sheet Music Plus | 918 Parker St. | Suite A11 | Berkeley, CA 94710 | United States This email was sent to {EMAIL} [Unsubscribe](
