Francois Devienne: Sonata No.1 in C minor for clarinet

François Devienne's music has long been highly rated for its grace and balance. One of the first professors of Flute at the new Conservatoire in 1795, Devienne's Flute Concertos played by the composer at the Concerts Spirituels in the 1780s reflected the elegance and brilliance of classical music in Paris and earned Devienne the title the 'French Mozart'.
