Joseph Eybler - Clarinet Concerto (1798)

Joseph Leopold Eybler (8 February 1765 – 24 July 1846) was an Austrian composer and contemporary of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Eybler was born into a musical family in Schwechat near Vienna.[1] His father was a teacher, choir director and friend of the Haydn family. Joseph Eybler studied music with his father before attending Stephansdom (the cathedral school of St. Stephen's Boys College) in Vienna. He studied composition under Johann Georg Albrechtsberger, who declared him to be the greatest musical genius in Vienna apart from Mozart. He also received praise from Haydn who was his friend, distant cousin and patron. Clarinet Concerto (c. 1798) Probably written for Anton Stadler 1. Allegro maestoso (00:13) 2. Adagio (11:35) 3. Allegro (17:16) Dieter Klöcker, clarinet and the English Chamber Orchestra On 30 May 1790 Mozart penned a testimonial for young Eybler wich read: “I, the undersigned, attest herewith that I have found the bearer of this, Herr Joseph Eybler, to be a worthy pupil of his famous master Albrechtsberger, a well-grounded composer, equally skilled at chamber music and the church style, fully experienced in the art of the song, also an accomplished organ and clavier player; in short a young musician such, one can only regret, as so seldom has his equal.” Wolfgang Amade’ Mozart Kapellmeister in Imperial Service Just after Mozart’s death, Constanze asked Eybler to take on completing the unfinished Requiem K.626 for his friend and master. He signed a receipt accepting a copy, which reads as follows: “The undersigned hereby imparts that Frau Constanze Mozart, widow, has entrusted him with the completion of the Requiem Mass begun by her late husband; the same undertakes to complete it by the middle of the coming Lent, and at the same time guarantees that it shall neither be copied, nor given into other hands than those of the aforementioned widow.” Joseph Eybler, Vienna, 21 December 1791 He commenced to work, but having progressed only a short time, felt that he was unable to finish this task and returned the work. Constanze later turned to Süssmayr for the completion. While it is supposed that Eybler in fact did very little towards completing this work, there are surmises based upon H. C. Robbins Landon's and other Mozart musicologists' recent research that would indicate otherwise. Close examination of the manuscript of the Requiem shows that Eybler and Franz Jakob Freystéädtler worked on the instrumentation of several different movements of the Requiem. Eybler's completions, in fact, are written on the same manuscript paper as Mozart's own efforts. Landon feels strongly that the work of Eybler, in particular, is superior to that of Süssmayr. When completions of Mozart's score exist in versions by both Eybler and Süssmayr, Landon feels that Eybler should prevail in performance because of his more careful and Mozartean craftsmanship and clearer, less cumbersome orchestration. Eybler later gave the Court Library in Vienna what material he still had of the Requiem for safekeeping. In 1833 he suffered a stroke, ironically, while conducting Mozart’s Requiem and from then on could no longer fulfill his duties at court. For service to the Court, Eybler was raised to the nobility in 1835. He died on 24 July 1846.
