  Mozart Concerto in A Major for Clarinet and Orchestra   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
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.
Mozart's treatment of the genre was so complete that it has changed little in substance since his death, despite the fact that practically every major composer after him has written in it.
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.

 Mozart's Clarinet Concerto K.622 And Clarinet History
Stadler was a close friend of Mozart in Vienna in the closing years of the composer's life and he and his brother Johann played in many of the Austrian composer's works, including those already mentioned.
Mozart's now celebrated Clarinet Concerto, completed just two months before his death, was begun as early as 1789 as a concerto for basset horn in G Major.
The concerto was published in 1801, ten years after Mozart's death, in an arrangement for normal clarinet in A, the instrument that is well known today.

 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - Clarinet Concerto in A major, K.622
As well as the Concerto, the Clarinet Quintet K.581 and the "Kegelstatt" trio K.498 owe their existence to Mozart’s admiration and friendship for Stadler, and while the clarinettist received a series of personalised masterpieces, Mozart in return discovered the full potential of an instrument that was still very new.
Stadler had recently invented an instrument that combined the agility of the early clarinet with the depth of the basset horn, and this "Basset Clarinet" was the instrument for which Mozart wrote his concerto.
Mozart may not have meant the Clarinet Concerto to be his swansong, but it has a subtle beauty of sound, a ripe abundance of melody, and a compassionate tenderness of feeling that make it as moving a testimony to his genius as anything he ever wrote.

 Clarinet Concerto (Mozart) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The concerto is frequently described as 'autumnal' due to the lyrical Adagio and the emotive passages in minor keys in the outer movements.
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).
The concerto was given its premiere by Stadler in Prague on October 16, 1791.

 Mozart - Concerto for Clarinet and Orchestra in A Major K622 - bhso.org.uk
Mozart showed an affinity for the clarinet, which had by his time been much improved.
Mozart spins out his lyrical melody over the solo clarinet's middle and upper registers.
Mozart has set this movement in D major which is normally a 'bright' key, but here he has written music which hints at reflectiveness, with even a hint of poignancy.

 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.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Concerto for Clarinet and Orchestra, KV 622, Edition for Clarinet and Piano by Henri Kling, revised and edited by the Trio di Clarone (Sabine Meyer, Wolfgang Meyer, and Reiner Wehle).
Two attempts are made to reproduce Mozart's notation: the use of grace note, eighth note and two 16th notes in I/61/6-9 and similar passages instead of the commonly found four 16th notes, and the use of short vertical slashes, instead of dots, above notes meant to be staccato.

Mozart did not in fact write a clarinet concerto but was actually writing for the basset clarinet.
It is also said that Mozart replaced the flute with the clarinet and that he even re-wrote the entire work after finding out that it had somehow come out sounding like the work of another composer.
Mozart's music often gives you a particular sense of what is forthcoming: even if one suddenly stops halfway in a phrase, it would not be difficult to anticipate what is to come - such is the quality of Classical music.

 Clarinet Concerto (Mozart) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
As most clarinets couldn't play the low notes which Mozart wrote to highlight Stadler's special instrument, Mozart's publisher arranged a version of the concerto with the low notes transposed to regular range, and did not publish the original version.
Recordings of various restorations include Sabine Meyer with the Berlin Philharmonic, David Shifrin with the Mostly Mozart Orchestra, and Erich Hoeprich with the Old Fairfield Academy (notable for Hoeprich's use of a period-style basset clarinet based on Stadler's of his own manufacture instead of a modern 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.
Mozart did not write this piece for a conventional clarinet (in A or Bb) - but for an experimental hybrid instrument capable of extending the clarinet's normal range down to a low and eerie bass register.
Mozart's clarinet concerto is certainly one of the most beautiful works to emerge from the Classical era.
