History of Clarinet

Invented around late 17th century           


          this is how was the early clarinet**

An earlier name was chalumeau, the first single reed instrument.


Johann Christoph Denner is instrument maker from Germany
and he invented the clarinet between the years 1690-1707


Why am I mentioning history of clarinet?

After the clarinet has been invented, most classical period composers had started to use clarinet in their music. Especially Mozart really liked clarinet and he composed Clarinet concerto in 1791 for clarinetist Anton stadler. After Mozart died, many late classical and romantic composers used clarinet in the symphony and chamber music.

This is my favourite Mozart clarinetconcerto, perform by Martin Frost**


Therefore, you are not able to find such a clarinet instrument in Baroque and early classical era. Authentically we don't have piece of Bach, Handel and Haydn etc.
