In the Footsteps of Mozart’s Clarinetist: Anton Stadler (1753-1812) and His Basset Clarinet Pamela L. Poulin, Ph.D. Peabody Conservatory of Music Johns Hopkins University This is the first in-depth study of the achievements of eighteenth century clarinetist Anton Stadler in English, including his five year tour of Europe taking him as far away as St. Petersburg, and, of paramount importance, his friendship with W. A. Mozart, resulting in Mozart’s monumental works for clarinet, e.g., the Clarinet Concerto, K. 622 and Clarinet Quintet, K. 581, written for Stadler’s unique Bass Klarinet (today called the “basset clarinet”), having an extended lower chromatic range to written small c. Until Pamela L. Poulin’s discovery of engravings of the basset clarinet she found on programs in Riga, it was not known what the instrument looked like. Another of her important discoveries is the first documented performance of the Mozart Clarinet Concerto in Vienna in 1804. Based on extensive archival research, including many documents here published for the first time, Poulin describes Anton Stadler’s activities as performer par excellence of Vienna and reportedly of all Europe as well, thus serving as inspiration for Mozart’s muse, a clarinet inventor, composer, entrepreneur—organizing concerts for his own benefit in a record ten days of arrival as he toured Northern Europe, labor activist, commissioner of music, bon vivant, humorist, pre-union times spokesman, writer (50-page curriculum for a new music school in Hungary; co-author with Mozart of a would-be secret society, The Grotto) and…possible rogue. She explores the rich and diverse musical culture in which he moved—Vienna, bringing to light many previously unknown concerts there in which he performed, and in important music centers throughout Northern Europe. This book will be of interest to clarinetists, musicologists, historians of the late eighteenth century and early nineteenth century, bringing to life this incredible and interesting musician who many believe to be Mozart’s best friend, entrusting to his care, for example, business dealings and his wife Constanze during some of her frequent health cures at Baden and sharing a common sense of humor and joie de vivre. As principal clarinet (with his brother Johann playing second) in the Emperor’s Hof Kappelle Orchestra in the National Theater, Stadler participated in première performances of the most noted music of the time, including that of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, thereby influencing and making possible a more demanding compositional writing for the clarinet, a relative newcomer to the orchestra of the time.
Earning her Ph.D. at the Eastman School of Music of the University of Rochester (Stanley Hasty’s artist studio and that of Leon Russianoff of the Juilliard School of Music) and teaching at the Peabody Conservatory of Music of the Johns Hopkins University, Pamela L. Poulin is a clarinetist and music historian who has taught, spoken and published the most widely on Anton Stadler, was keynote speaker for the International Clarinet Association at its Silver Anniversary and was invited speaker on Stadler for Mozart’s 200th Anniversary, the Internationaler Mozart-Congress, Salzburg, 1991. In addition to many scholarly journal articles and papers on eighteenth-century music (including the New Grove’s Dictionary of Music and Musicians, The Cambridge Mozart Encyclopedia and the American Musicological Society, respectively), the scholarly Clarendon Press of Oxford University Press, as part of its “Early Music Series,” has published her books on that epoch.
Note from the Editor
March is Women’s History Month. The celebration of women’s history started in 1978 when the Education Task Force of the Sonoma County Commission on the Status of Women in California originated a “Women’s History Week” celebration. In February 1980, President Jimmy Carter issued the first Presidential Proclamation declaring the week of March 8, 1980, as National Women’s History Week. In 1987, after the support of 14 states already committed to celebrating Women’s History Month, Congress declared the month of March as National Women’s History Month.1 Each year, the National Women’s History Alliance chooses and publishes a theme for Women’s History Month. The theme for 2019 is “Visionary Women: Champions of Peace & Nonviolence,” which honors "women who have led efforts to end war, violence, and injustice and pioneered the use of nonviolence to change society.“2 The featured paper doll for March is Margaret Eleanor Rhodes Crocker (18221901). Margaret Crocker was married to Edwin B. Crocker, a California Supreme Court Justice. The Crockers established the Crocker Museum in Sacramento, California. Mrs. Crocker was actively involved in church and community affairs. On May 6, 1885, she generously presented the Crocker art gallery building, the grounds, and the E. B. Crocker Collection to the City of Sacramento and the California Museum Association.3
This month’s issue also includes a Harriet Tubman Women’s History Month greeting card and Ruari St. Patrick’s Day Paper Doll decorations.
