Spohr wrote the present work for Johann Simon Hermstedt, one of the leading clarinetists of his time. It was commissioned by the Nordhausen Music Festival, where its first performance took place in July 1829. The work takes on a special color through the bolero rhythm in the closing “Rondo al Espagnol”.
