Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

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').
