  Anton Stadler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anton Stadler (1753 - 1812) was a clarinet and basset horn player for whom Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wrote both his Quintet for Clarinet and Strings and Clarinet Concerto.
It was possibly this specialism in second clarinet along with the basset horn that led to his collaboration with Theodore Lotz, a clarinet maker.
There have always been rumours that Stadler's friendship with fellow Freemason Mozart was inspired by greed; pawning works written for him, borrowing sums of money that he never repaid and constantly eating and drinking at Mozart's expense.

 Clarinet Concerto (Mozart) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The concerto is notable for its delicate interplay between soloist and orchestra, and for the lack of overly extroverted display on the part of the soloist (no cadenzas are written out in the solo part).
Mozart originally wrote the work for basset clarinet, which is a modern name given to a special clarinet owned by Stadler that had a range down to low C, instead of stopping at E as standard clarinets do.
The concerto was given its premiere by Stadler in Prague on October 16, 1791.

 Stadler Trio/Information
The Stadler Trio was formed in 1986 specially to perform the numerous works by Mozart for three basset horns (low-pitched, alto clarinets very popular in the late 18th century).
These include original pieces by Anton Stadler (Mozart´s clarinettist, after whom the trio is named), Druschetzky, Nudera and Rosetti, as well as numerous arrangements of arias from operas by Mozart, Martín i Soler and Paisello.
Lotz was a friend and colleague of both Mozart and Stadler, and is perhaps best known for having constructed Stadler´s basset clarinet for which Mozart composed his incomparable clarinet concerto, KV 622.

Anton's penchant was for the lower registered instrument which he helped to bring to its own realization musically.
Anton and Johann were in service to the Russian Ambassador in Austria in 1779 before they were afforded a position at the court.
Stadler's first position in the court was as a freelance member of the wind band in 1782.

Stadler was a skilled player of the clarinet and the basset horn.
In 1788, Stadler built an instrument that was a kind of hybrid between a basset horn and a clarinet, now called the basset clarinet, with an extended range and a unique sound (see p.
Critics admired Stadler's remarkably expressive performances, and many felt his tone was eerily imitative of the human voice.

After early studies in Lilienfeld and Vienna, Stadler was admitted as a novice to the Melk monastery in 1766 and celebrated his first mass there in 1772.
Where Stadler is specifically involved here is in the examination and cataloguing of Mozart's musical estate in 1798 and 1799 at Contanze Mozart's request.

 Mozart Concerto in A Major for Clarinet and Orchestra
This was hardly the first time Mozart wrote for Stadler; he was the intended player for numerous orchestral parts and several chamber works, including the "Kegelstatt Trio" K. 498 and the Clarinet Quintet K 581.
Stadler was a leading player of his day, however, he was often known to choose second clarinet parts because he preferred the lower portion of the instrument's range.
Since Stadler was also a virtuoso basset horn player, it is apparent that both were intended for him, and that the basset horn version was aborted in favor of the basset clarinet version.

Stadler was one of the early virtuosos on what was then a relatively new instrument, the clarinet.
Stadler seems to have been one of the many associates that took advantage of the composer in Vienna, borrowing money that was never repaid, acting as Mozart's "business partner" (much to his own advantage), and generally sponging off his unfailingly good-natured friend.
Some biographers have even suggested that Stadler was responsible for the disappearance of Mozart's autograph score for the clarinet concerto, and that he may even have purloined other works by Mozart to publish under his own name.

 Augusta Symphony   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
It is often considered a seminal work of the clarinet repertory, one that not only helped to establish the clarinet as an equal member of the woodwind family, but also one that defined the clarinet idiom for the composers who would follow in the nineteenth century.
Anton Stadler (1753-1812) had probably arrived in Vienna some time before 1773, years before Mozart went there.
Mozart wrote his music to fit Stadler's instrument, but in the earliest editions of the concerto, which were published after Mozart’s death, the music had been altered so that ordinary clarinets could play it.

 Program Notes
In the late summer of 1791, Stadler accompanied Mozart on his last trip to Prague for the premiere of La clemenza di Tito, in which Mozart included two arias with dazzling parts for obbligato clarinet and basset clarinet (an alto clarinet).
As is also the case with the later Clarinet Concerto written for Stadler, Mozart composed the Quintet for an instrument with an extended lower register (often called a basset clarinet, although not by Mozart or Stadler).
This alto clarinet, which Stadler claimed he invented, did not catch on and therefore when the Quintet was first published in 1802, more than a decade after Mozart's death, it was adapted for a conventional instrument.

 Takacs Quartet Richard Stoltzman
Completed on September 29, 1789, Mozart’s Clarinet Quintet was first performed by Anton Stadler and friends on December 22 of the same year, at the Burgtheater in Vienna.
Stadler had devised a special instrument called the “basset clarinet,” which extended the famous low register by an extra major third.
The basset clarinet looked strikingly different from the regular clarinet in that its shape was not straight; the bell was at the end of a transverse pipe, perpendicular to the main body of the instrument.

 How to Extend Your Classical CD Collection
Mozart's removal to Vienna in 1781 coincided with the increased use of the clarinet, which owed much to the Stadler brothers, the first clarinettists to be employed in the Court Orchestra.
For Anton Stadler, who had developed an instrument with an extended lower range, Mozart wrote a concerto, as well as the superb Clarinet Quintet.
The clarinet, indeed, seemed to suit perfectly Mozart's genius, his gift for melody and for an element of poignancy, both qualities apparent in the concerto and in the quintet.

 Lawrence Budmen reviews clarinettist Alexander Fiterstein's concert with the American String Quartet
The relationship between Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) and Anton Stadler (1753-1812) was often complex and turmoil-ridden.
Stadler was himself a composer who resented Mozart's genius.
Stadler would abandon Mozart during his difficult final year; yet, were it not for Stadler's musical innovations, Mozart would not have composed the serene Clarinet Quintet in A K581.

Finally, we hear clarinetist/composer Anton Stadler's Trio for three basset-horns.
The four movements give lots of variety in style, tempo, and mood, which is important when you're listening to three identical-sounding, reedy wind instruments.
It's not great music (Stadler's friendship with Mozart and virtuosity on the clarinet didn't translate into exceptional composing skills), but it's engaging entertainment.

 Stereophile: A Mosaic of Music: Stereophile's Clarinet Quintet CD
In the Clarinet Concerto K.622, Mozart made especial use of Stadler's innovation, the basset clarinet, with its increased lower register, and he may have intended to employ the same instrument in the Quintet for its deeper sonority.
For Stadler, he wrote in a spare and measured idiom—even a petulant aristocrat could not have complained of a superfluity of notes.
All of the evidence appears to demonstrate that, contrary to the romantic myth, Mozart did not write from some sort of celestial dictation; there were false starts and reworkings aplenty.

In relation to the prominent place the clarinet came to occupy in Mozart's affections, Anton Stadler must take full credit.
From the virtuoso clarinetist Mozart received both friendship and a deeper understanding than he ever had before of the singular qualities and the technical possibilities of the then-emerging single-reed instrument.
