In 1904, Wilhelm Altenburg wrote: “Practicing musicians as well as pupils at music schools can only be advised, when the opportunity affords itself, to obtain knowledge from the available collections about all the existing orchestral instruments, but above all to gain an adequate overview of the individual stages of development of their own instrument. Such a broadening of their horizon can only be beneficial and will dissipate many a misleading prejudice”
(Altenburg, Die Klarinette, Heilbronn, 1904).

Clarimonia has chosen this principle as its Leitmotif. In its concerts and workshops, Clarmonia has for years aspired to the goal of acquainting its audience with the developmental history of the clarinet by means of the appropriate music.
