Question
A player of this instrument, Johann Simon Hermstedt, was the dedicatee of four concertos by Louis Spohr. A high E-flat, followed by a sudden jump three octaves lower, opens another concerto for this instrument dedicated to Heinrich Baermann. It’s not a horn, but the only cadenza appears in the Adagio second movement of a 1791 concerto written for its “basset” variety. Carl Maria von Weber wrote two concerti for this instrument, and Mozart’s A major concerto for this instrument was written for Anton Stadler. This instrument plays a slow ascending glissando to open George Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue. For 10 points, name this single-reed woodwind typically pitched in B-flat. ■END■
ANSWER: clarinet [accept B-flat clarinet or A clarinet or basset clarinet or soprano clarinet]
