Casimir Antonio Cartellieri (1772-1807) was born in Danzig. His father was an Italian tenor, his mother came from Riga. His artistic path led him via Berlin to Vienna, where, like Beethoven, he studied with Antonio Salieri and Johann Georg Albrechtsberger. His growing success as a composer earned him a position with Prince Franz Joseph Maximilian von Lobkowitz at his castles Raudnitz and Eisenberg in Bohemia in 1796. The famous clarinettist and Mozart friend Anton Stadler familiarised him with the tonal and technical characteristics of the clarinet. This resulted in three concertos, which are among the most compositionally demanding works of the late classical period for this instrument. Inspired by Dieter Klöcker's CD recordings (1996), the clarinettist Marco Giani has published this critical edition of the 3rd concerto based on the manuscript sources.

“The multi-key clarinet can sound so ghostly in the deep register of the chalumeau, but higher up it can flow out in a silvery, flowery harmony. ”

Thomas Mann: Doctor Faustus (1947)
