Mozart's Clarinet Quintet in A Major, K. 581 - Sound Clip - MSN Encarta Mozart's Clarinet Quintet in A Major, K. This media item will not play in the Internet software you are currently using. It was with these instruments that Mozart was able to paint a clear and beautifully articulated melody while exploring the contrapuntal texture of blending the primary voice with a small orchestra of different voices. In this excerpt from the fourth movement of Mozart’s Clarinet Quintet in A Major, the sensuous voice of the clarinet rises in glorious contrast to the strings then blends its way back into a dialogue of passionately intertwined sonorities. encarta.msn.com /media_461532918_761554446_-1_1/Mozart's_Clarinet_Quintet_in_A_Major_K_581.html   (154 words)

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. 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. www.tishkoff.com /articles/mozart.htm   (2859 words)

Linn Records - Mozart Serenades But despite this, the bulk of Mozart's pre-1781 output was destined for performance in Salzburg, and though we know he yearned more and more for a larger stage, the range of his compositions make it clear that the environment of his native city was varied and often stimulating. By the mid-1770s, Mozart had evidently formed the conviction, maintained for the rest of his life, that the most effective conclusion for a concerto was a rondo, where the constant recurrence of a catchy main theme could induce an upbeat, relaxed mood. Mozart, it seems, was not a close friend of Brunetti - on one occasion he described him as "coarse and dirty" - but from the music one would never guess this low opinion, or his lack of enthusiasm for what he referred to as a "foul concert". www.linnrecords.com /recording-mozart-serenades.aspx   (1840 words)

Barnes & Noble.com - Music: Mozart: Clarinet Concerto, Clarinet Quintet, Richard Stoltzman, CD, Remastered The Quintet, aided by the Tokyo String Quartet, is naturally the more intimate of the two works, yet it shares much with its cousin -- it's in the key of A Major, for starters, and features a similar opening melody, as well as passages of ineffable beauty. First released in 1991 and reissued in 2004, this CD of Mozart's "Clarinet Concerto" and the "Clarinet Quintet" is fair in most regards except for the featured soloist's quirky playing. The "Clarinet Quintet" is marginally better, and Stoltzman seems less taken with himself under the Tokyo String Quartet's close scrutiny. music.barnesandnoble.com /Mozart-Clarinet-Concerto-Clarinet-Quintet/Richard-Stoltzman/e/828766086621   (661 words)

5186121 Not only are both the quintets by Mozart and Schubert recorded on this CD considered radiant pearls in the oeuvre of two outstanding composers, they also rank first place in a fictive listing of instrumental chamber music. Mozart‘s Quintet for Clarinet and String Quartet in A, K. 581 dates from September 29, 1789. The clarinet is allowed to dominate insofar as permitted by Mozart‘s sense of chamber music: it balances on the border-line between solo instrument and partner in the musical structure of the movement. www.pentatonemusic.com /pagsrqr/5186121.html   (962 words)

Notes 2006: Mozart: Craftsbury Chamber Players In June of 1789 Mozart arrived home in Vienna from a trip to Berlin, during which he received a commission for six string quartets and a group of piano sonatas from the Prussian King, Frederick William II, nephew and successor of the immensely cultured Frederick the Great. Mozart immediately began composition and in July of 1789 completed the Quartet in D major (K. 575) and one of the piano sonatas (K. The summer of 1789 was not an easy one. Mozart harbored a special fondness for the graceful agility, liquid tone and ensemble amiability of the clarinet from the time that he first heard the instrument as a young boy during his tours. www.craftsburychamberplayers.org /notes/mozart2006.html   (403 words)

Takacs Quartet Richard Stoltzman Mozart used it in only a handful of his symphonies and concertos; but whenever he did call for clarinets, he made sure they played a prominent role in the piece. Mozart had the good fortune to be acquainted with two of the best clarinet players of his day, the brothers Anton and Johann Nepomuk Stadler. 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. www.carnegiehall.org /textSite/box_office/events/evt_4617.html   (2745 words)

Online Orchestra - Woodwind - The Clarinet The Clarinet is the orchestra's most versatile woodwind instrument and its rich, expressive tone is a favourite of modern composers. The Clarinet is a single reed instrument and was invented by Johann Christoph Denner in the 17th Century but was immediately unpopular due to its poor sound and terrible intonation. Mozart's Clarinet Quintet and Clarinet Concerto and Gershwin's 'Rhapsody in Blue' are examples of the Clarinet's versatility. library.thinkquest.org /18160/clarinets.htm   (143 words)

Milestones of the Millenium: The Clarinet Mozart, one of the first composers to be inspired by the clarinet, wrote music that captured the "agility and sparkle" of the instrument, as well as its soulfulness. The use of the clarinet in both classical and jazz is indicative of the "crossover" influences in world music, a development that is not only exciting but almost necessary for musicians today. The clarinet is an appealing instrument partly for this reason; it can transform itself into so many personas that it has been chosen by many performers and composers today as the "cutting edge" instrument that defines their music. www.npr.org /programs/specials/milestones/991217.motm.clarinet.html   (709 words)

Clarinet Quintet (Mozart) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It was Mozart's only clarinet quintet, and one of the earliest, and best known works written specially for the instrument. This quintet is sometimes referred to as the Stadler Quintet; Mozart so described it in a letter of April 1790. As often with Mozart, phrase structure is generally the same throughout the variations even if other qualities change- the theme consists of four four-bar phrases (Mozart is often more irregular in his phrasing than this), the first going harmonically from A to E, the second back from E to A, etc.... en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Quintet_for_Clarinet_and_Strings   (618 words)

The Clarinet   (Site not responding. Last check: ) Mozart wrote the Clarinet Quintet, for clarinet and strings, in 1789, and Anton Stadler gave the work its first performance in Vienna the same year. The sopranino clarinet is a popular member of the military band, where its high, shrill tone adds sharpness to the mellow sound of the other woodwind and brass instruments. The bass clarinet, larger than the alto clarinet and basset horn, is the lowest member of the clarinet family in general use. www.randomhouse.com /features/livingmusic/clarinet   (584 words)

A Brief History of Johannes Brahms’ Clarinet Quintet in B Minor, Op Beginning with Mozart, the clarinet moved away from the traditional concertante form, and was gradually cast in chamber music writing. The primary example of this is Mozart’s Clarinet Quintet where, for the first time, the clarinet was used in a lyrical sense, fully integrated into the chamber ensemble. However, just as soon as Mozart began to use the clarinet in a full melodic sense, other composers of the era were quick to exploit the instrument for purely virtuosic purposes. www3.sympatico.ca /thomas.dowling/BrahmsCC.html   (1286 words)

Low priced Mozart: Clarinet Concerto; Clarinet Quintet and More Mozart: Clarinet Concerto; Clarinet Quintet~ Fred Sherry is a wonderfull recording of Mozarts clarinet music and when I listen to it I regret that I did not stick with one instrument during my youth since now it is just to late. Mozart was truly a genius that could write music for all kinds of instruments like the clarinet, violin, trumpet and many others. Notice that in any review of a recording of Mozart's clarinet works, the musicians are always criticized and critiqued, but there is no critic that even attempts to lay a finger on the compositions themselves, except when praising them. www.i-frugal.com /Shop/Operation_ItemLookup/ItemId_B0000006VG.aspx   (422 words)

SA-CD.net - Mozart: Clarinet Concerto, Clarinet Quintet - Marriner/Marriner   (Site not responding. Last check: ) For those relatively new to the concerto, there are three major considerations in the performances; whether the soloist utilises a basset clarinet, the utilisation of period versus modern instruments, and whether the speeds tend to be sedate or brisk. Lower runs have been tranposed upwards for the ordinary clarinet; these aren't noticable unless one is a clarinettist or reads the score, but the basset leads to a darker hue in these infrequent downward excursions where Mozart contrasts the timbre of the instrument against the cellos. This is because of the excellence of the quintet. www.sa-cd.net /showreviews/2554   (1667 words)

Mozart and Brahms Clarinet Quintets   (Site not responding. Last check: ) I particularly admired the poise and elegance of the opening movement, the repose of the larghetto and the gently relaxed air of the minuet, although there was a distinct sense of unease conveyed in the trio: perhaps significantly, as the clarinet (one of Mozart's favourite instruments) was silent. It was the finale which brought Gretry's words to mind; although the bubbling clarinet almost seems to be the sound of good humour, the slow, and profoundly moving fifth variation had an air of ineffable sorrow which even the fizzing vitality of the final pages could not quite dispel. As with Mozart, the finale is a set of variations in the last of which the work's opening theme suddenly reappears played by the first violin and viola; it was a moment to send shivers up the spine. turing.cs.camosun.bc.ca:8080 /TC/R19980829   (343 words)

In this case, it was Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's 1st Movement of the Clarinet Quintet K. That composition had haunted me for over 20 years ever since I, along with millions of television viewers, heard it on the final episode of M*A*S*H, Goodbye, Farewell, and Amen. Mozart's Clarinet Quintet is an emotionally complex composition more akin to the Romantic era rather than Mozart's Classical period, conveying many moods all at once. www.epinions.com /content_153372036740   (1088 words)

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. Mozart was always looking forward, anticipating new possibilities in music; the opportunity to compose for a virtuoso such as Stadler invariably brought forth something unique and wonderful. Now for "Fräulein Klarinette," as he called Mühlfeld, he wrote a Quintet (with Mozart certainly in mind) that was both backward-looking in its Classical touches (note especially the opening of the initial Allegro), yet firmly in his own Romantic tradition of Bohemian dances and atmospherically evocative passages for strings. www.stereophile.com /features/575/index2.html   (794 words)

Mozart 2006 Programmes Starting with some astonishing music written when he was only eight years old, the programme tells of his brilliant success as a child prodigy, his feelings on his mother's death, his affection for two of the famous Bach family, and concludes with his famous battle with the Archbishop of Salzburg. The Clarinet Quintet, written for his friend Stadler, was one of the greatest musical gifts of all time, combining exquisite writing for the instrument with great nobility of expression. The F major concerto, from Mozart's most fêted time in Vienna, has such full and deftly woven writing for the wind instruments that it could almost be called a Sinfonia Concertante. www.ambache.co.uk /Mozart2006.htm   (906 words)
