	Basset Horn - LoveToKnow Watches
		The basset horn consists of a nearly cylindrical tube of wood (generally cocus or box-wood), having a cylindrical bore and terminating in a metal bell wider than that of the clarinet.
		The basset horn was the outcome of the desire, prevailing during the 16th and 17th centuries, to obtain complete families of instruments to play in concert.
		The invention of the basset horn in 1770 is attributed to a clarinet maker of Passau, named Horn, whose name was given to the instrument; by a misnomer, the basset horn became known in Italy as corno di bassetto, and in France as cor de basset.

	Basset-horn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The basset horn is a musical instrument, a member of the clarinet family.
		Like the clarinet, the instrument is a wind instrument with a single reed and a cylindrical bore.
		Other early works include the manuscript parts for a concerto for Basset Horn in G and small orchestra by Carl Stamitz which have been arranged for conventional Basset Horn in F, and a concerto by Backofen.

	Basset clarinet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The basset clarinet is a modern name for a clarinet adapted to be able to play lower notes than the regular clarinet.
		Typically a basset clarinet has keywork going to a low (written) C, as opposed to the standard clarinet's E or E♭, and is most commonly a transposing instrument in A, although basset clarinets in C, B♭, and G also exist.
		The basset clarinet was most notably associated with the clarinet virtuoso Anton Stadler (1753-1812), a contemporary and good friend of Mozart.

	Music Associates of America ~ MadAminA! The Basset Horn
		Basset horns are now only in F, but in the late 18th and 19th centuries they were also built lower (in D, vide Druschetsky), and higher (in G, the instrument indicated in the first sketch of Mozart's Clarinet Concerto).
		And its name should not confuse it with the basset clarinets, which are soprano clarinets in A or B-flat with a similar downward extension and with a repertoire apparently confined, until quite recently, to the works of Mozart-notably as the instrument, in A, for which the Clarinet Concerto was finally completed.
		Now that basset horns have become readily available, with manufacturers listing them prominently in their catalogues, it has not been difficult for enthusiastic basset horn players to persuade 20th century composers to write once more for this exciting instrument, even if they do sometimes provide for alternatives, indeed as they have always done.

	International Clarinet Association - ClarinetFest Archives
		In addition to the choice of instrument (basset clarinet or normal range clarinet), a full consideration of performance practice would include the choice of notes and octave for some passages, degree of tempo flexibility, articulation, unwritten ornamentation and improvisation, performance of the fermati, performance of trills and written ornaments, and solo playing of tutti passages.
		Edited by Henri Kling, revised and edited by the Trio di Clarone, an established clarinet and basset horn trio consisting of Sabine Meyer, Wolfgang Meyer and Reiner Wehle.
		The basset clarinet version provides a good deal of low register passagework, but in most of the clarinet version no attempt was made to capture more of the low range notes.

	Basset-horn Concerto K.621b
		The basset-horn in G, a late 18th-century instrument, is the equivalent in the clarinet family of the C bass chalumeau, the lowest of the three instruments for which the trios for three chalumeaux by J. Graupner were written; that is to say, there was probably a direct link from the bass chalumeau to the basset-horn.
		Stadler's clarinet tone must have been very expressive, for a contemporary critic (1785) praised his playing; "one would never have thought that a clarinet could imitate the human voice to such perfection." In addition, Stadler deserves commendation for his technical improvements of the clarinet and basset-horn.

	Mozart Concerto in A Major for Clarinet and Orchestra
		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.
		Mozart's Clarinet Concerto must not be the victim of clarinetistry and technique; rather, the legato aspects of the work, along with the evenness of tone, should receive emphasis in its interpretation.
		The Concerto uses the entire standard range of the instrument, from low C (basset clarinet) to high G. Timbral differences of the clarinet's various registers are beautifully employed to vary mood and affect.

	Stephen Fox Clarinets
		The so-called basset clarinet, i.e., a soprano clarinet with the lower range extended to written C (or B; see below) is now universally recognized as the correct instrument for performance of the Mozart Concerto K622, Quintet K581 and the late operas.
		While most basset clarinets are in the key of A (for the Mozart Concerto and Quintet), a number have also been made in Bb (for use in Mozart operas, particularly the aria Parto, parto from Tito) and C (especially useful for opera orchestra work).
		Though basset clarinets built to date have C as the lowest note, current research (click here for information) indicates that low B may have been used by Mozart.

	Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra: Amade's Anniversary
		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.
		The clarinet was a relatively new member of the orchestra during the eighteenth century.
		The range of the basset clarinet is fully explored, and the movement contains many virtuoso passages, bringing the concerto to a crowd-pleasing close.

	Graham Nasby's Online Resources - clarinet part transposition
		Many orchestra clarinet parts are often not written for Bb clarinet, and you may not have the required A, D, C, etc. clarinet.
		One thing to keep in mind, is that ochestral parts written for different pitched clarinets are "actually supposed to" be played on the clarinet they are written for.
		When sight-tranposing clarinet parts, you have to be mindful of the range of the instrument.

		The Clarinet Concerto brings the listener to another mood - that of Mozart's more somber "third period." Compared to the oboe concerto, the tones are darker, the melodic phrases longer and the counterpoint between the solo and the orchestral voices more complex and pronounced.
		Hear the basset clarinet's "dialogues" between its high and low register, close your eyes and imagine a soprano and a baritone exchanging lines in a sublime opera...
		Antony Pay's performance on a period basset clarinet rivals those of many modern performances-his phrasing is lyrical, his articulations clear, and his tone is sweet.

	MOZART & MOLTER: Clarinet concertos - Kari Kriikku, clarinet in D & basset clarinet/ Tapiola Sinfonietta/ John ...
		This totally brilliant new recording of the Mozart clarinet concerto, coupled to three concertos by Johann Melchior Molter (1696-1765), provides a showcase for the Finnish virtuoso Kari Kriikku and demonstrates Ondine's ability to successfully record mainstream classical repertoire as successfully as its recent recording of the Philadelphia Orchestra.
		Whether in the Molter concertos or on Mozart's beloved basset clarinet, which gives the solo part not only an extended lower register (which adds a darker tone), Kriikku phrases with unusual elegance and freedom, even adding delightful embellishments occasionally.
		In the three Molter concertos, there is a shrill, trumpet-like aspect to the D clarinet Kriikku uses, while in the Mozart the basset clarinet has a beautifully smooth, dark tinged sound.

		The brownish, polished clarinet converses with the grating, hoarse viola, like in an unlikely scene of a noble lady stopping on the sidewalk to talk to a drunkard lying in the gutter, bearded and dirty.
		The bass clarinet plays a gentle, reassuring melody, as the electronics remain comparably silent, until returning full force in a staggering, forward-falling motion, leaning on the more stable bass clarinet.
		The bass clarinet and the alto flute commence simultaneously, but then engage in a conversation with each other, as in a friendly chat by the breakfast table.

		For historically informed performance of the Mozart Concerto, Quintet and late operas, this is a speculative reconstruction of the basset clarinet used by Anton Stadler and pictured on his now well known Riga concert program from 1801 (see below).
		It has a minimum of keys in the upper sections (though more can be requested), a chromatic extension to low C and a bulb-shaped bell (which we now know, from examination of the Braun basset horn as well as from the Riga drawing, should point backwards).
		A key for low B as on the Braun basset horn would be possible, but it does not appear on the Riga drawing.
