I have a few other music score examples from the same work that may be better than the one I've chosen. That one was chosen to show some of his kinship - my opinion - in harmonic fluency and figuration with the chamber music of his contemporaries such as Spohr... (a style I rate highly when at its best, btw, but the only work by Reißiger's I've heard on disc is a clarinet concertino)
(Edit: a check shows that a flute concertino and an overture- to die Felsenmühle- have been recorded, I'm not sure about a clarinet concertino- ah, Dieter Klocker _has_ recorded a clarinet concerto, Reißiger's opus 63; reviews that a search turns up mention a flute duo op. 94, and another writes "Reissiger's best music is his chamber music" (...!) of a clarinet "duo brillant", both in B♭ (op. 130- almost contemporary with the 11th piano trio I guess, about 1840) for clarinet and piano; opinions differ forever (I don't know enough of his music to say!), but I hope to hear e.g. his Mass no. 10 that's been reprinted somewhat recently.) Also forgot that Reißiger was born as late as 1798, which was easily remembered...) Schissel | Sound the Note! 12:30, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
