I am literally the world expert on the life of Carl Jnr. The man is a ghost but he wrote good piano music! As @danpianoman.bsky.social will testify…

He left for the US in 1881 but the family was pretty well connected so it’s possible. Also, I love (not) that Carl Snr was referred to as Carl Jnr when his dad Heinrich was alive. 😭

I am currently doing a big research project on Baermann including recording his music on the instrument he designed so if you would like to hear what it sounded like please drop me a follow!

Lovely to see this article! May I offer a small correction? Carl Baermann’s clarinet was patented in 1850 and was still very current technology when Mühlfeld received his in 1875. It was the leading model in 1875 when Mühlfeld received his.
