The Digital Baermann

Theaterzettel des Hof- und Nationaltheater

D-Mbs has digitised playbills of the Königliches Hof- und Nationaltheater in its holdings between 1805–1918. The volumes include both stage productions and concerts, though coverage is not comprehensive and from 1865 the volumes appear to only contain stage productions. 

Carl Baermann appears regularly as a performer in various contexts, including miscellaneous 'Vocal- und Instrumental-Concert[e]', usually given for the benefit of a specific musician, and the subscription series given by members of the Hofkapelle under various names such as 'abonnirtes Konzert', 'Concert der Mitgleider der Königliche Hofkapelle' and 'Abonnement-Concert'. In these concerts, In these concerts, Baermann performed almost exclusively his own compositions, though chamber works by Beethoven, Hummel, and Mozart do begin to feature occasionally from the mid-1840s. Baermann's works were also performed by other clarinetists, most often his Hofkapelle colleague Faubel at the long-running 'musikalische-declamatorische Abendunterhaltung[en]'.

The digitisations are OCR-searchable, but variant spellings need to be included (for instance 'declamatorische' and 'deklamatorische').
