He was the most prominent of the second generation of the so-called Mannheim school. “Carl Stamitz, the eldest son of Johann Stamitz, was born in Mannheim. At seventeen he became a member of the Court orchestra, in 1770 he travelled to Strassburg to Franz Xaver Richter, and a few years later he started on his many journeys. Paris, London, Nurnberg, Dresden, Prague and St. Petersburg revered him as a violin and viola d'amore virtuoso. When he was nearly fifty he took over the post of director of the academic concerts in Jena, where he later died. His work, which prepared the way for the new style in music in the same way as the work of his father, consists of 51 symphonies, 38 concertante symphonies, concerti for violin, viola, cello, flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, horn, piano and orchestra, several vocal compositions with orchestral accompaniment, more than 250 chamber music works which include 40 quartets, 43 trios and 90 duos. Most of these are still hidden away in libraries. The Triple Concerto in A major, written in two movements in 1775, belongs to the so-called "concertante symphonies" which became fashionable in the early seventies of the 18th century in Paris - largely due to Carl Stamitz. The horns do not only fill in the sonority of the orchestra, but play a rhythmically leading role. But above all, the two clarinets emerge as leading melodic instruments. The use of wind instruments as soloists is an innovation of the Mannheim school of composers. Carl Stamitz often gives the contrasting second theme to the woodwind - this enriches instrumental colour.” (from Album Notes)
