Anton Stadler was the earliest composer to publish works for the clarinet alone. Some of his solo material was probably originally intended for basset clarinet, though not published in this form. It seems from concert programmes that Stadler was also the composer of a clarinet concerto, now lost. He also wrote for two clarinets, the basset horn, a sextet of wind instruments (Harmonie) and for the Czakan, a duct flute pitched in A or M popular in Vienna around the beginning of the nineteenth century. The following list, together with details of modern editions, has been compiled by Albert Rice.
