	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.

		Clarinets used to all be made of wood but now many are made of ebonite.
		There are thirteen different types of clarinets, but the most common in orchestras are the B-flat for the keys with flats and the A for the keys with sharps.
		The clarinet’s single reed is not nearly as fussy as the oboe’s double reed.

		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.

		The oboe concerto is very appealing, with a particularly ambitious Andante, but the oboe doesn't have nearly the range of the clarinet and there can't be any comparison to what the clarinet concerto achieves.
		Both the oboe and bassoon concertos are well worth having though, and they complement the profundities of the clarinet concerto nicely; just don't expect them up to the same heavenly standard.

		One and a half year ago it [Nielsen’s Concerto] was performed in the Berlin Schauspielhaus by clarinetist Sabine Meyer; she emphasized the brooding and lightly furious, modern gestures of the piece.
		Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto was interpreted magnificently by Håkan Rosengren.
		Håkan Rosengren was soloist in two works for clarinet and orchestra, Rossini’s “Introduction, theme and variations” and the Opus 5 Clarinet Concerto by Finland’s first composer with an international reputation, Bernhard Crusell.

		The Clarinet Concerto was one of the more problematic works the NMA faced because it lacked a manuscript or authoritative score.
		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.

	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.

		Hi M: If the clarinet is leaking, you must replace the pads, and if it is only a year old, the problem probably lies in the fact that you do not swab out the instrument carefully.

		His account of the Mozart Clarinet Concerto is brilliantly played and generously but a bit self-indulgently ornamented.
		The clarinet concerto was the last work which Mozart completed (his final work, the Requiem, was left unfinished) and, thus, represents Mozart at the height of his extraordinary skills.
		But Romanticism was just around the corner at the end of Mozart's life and, in fact, with the adagio of this clarinet concerto -- as well as the andante of his 21st piano concerto -- Mozart essentially initiated Romanticism.

		More often than not, the Oboe Concerto in C is heard in its flute version - transposed to the key of D. This recording presents Mozart's original layout of the oboe concerto played with period instruments or accurate replicas.
		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.
		The recording of the oboe concerto is simply unbearable: squaky tone, amazingly poor articulation and intonation, and a general lack of expressiveness.

	Mozart: Clarinet Concerto, Quintet (DE 3020)
		Because the clarinet has been shortened and simplified during the nearly two centuries since Mozart's death, modern instruments are not capable of reaching the low notes in the original works.
		When musicians play the Concerto and Quintet on the modern clarinet today, parts of whole phrases are transposed an octave higher.
		Much of the clarinet voice in the Concerto, for example, suffers from breaks in mid-phrase.

	Clarinet Concerto
		The Clarinet Concerto is in three movements; each explores a particular facet of the instrument and penetrates the virtuosity of the soloist.
		The result is a partnership of immense tension and conflict as the clarinet fights an extended dual with the orchestra.
		There are fifteen principal time sections, their values are proportioned in ratio to the intervals of the first melodic fragment and multiplied by the number of beats on each note, taking the quaver as the smallest unit.

		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.

		Almost all the composers who have written for clarinet and orchestra have had a particular virtuoso in mind to play the solo part.
		The three new concertos so brilliantly performed by Richard Stoltzman on the present recording follow in this great tradition: they were written for and inspired by Stoltzman, with his unsurpassed technical finesse, versatility, and fluidly expressive lyricism in mind.
		"The idea of the clarinet concerto [such as William Thomas McKinley's] as a work of immense power and drama is new to me. The third and fourth movements attain ever more brilliant sonorities, the whole work representing in sound the stages by which base materials are alchemically transformed into purest gold."

	SA-CD.net - Mozart: Clarinet Concerto, Quintet - Martin Fröst
		Fantastic performances from Thomas Frost in both pieces (he is especially melting in the adagio of the quintet) but in the quintet the clarinet is balanced a little too closely and sometimes drowns out the quartet.
		Another brilliant SACD from BIS.Mozart's Clarinet Concerto is a major masterpiece that unfolds as naturally as a flower.And from soloist Martin Fröst we are getting an interpretation that IMO is almost as close to perfection as the piece itself.
		Ok, the clarinet may be a tad close but it definitely sounds as close to life as I've ever heard in a recording.

	Boosey and Hawkes: The home of contemporary music
		To my mind, the soloist in a concerto must be heard clearly whenever playing, so I was especially interested to write for a smaller group the Ensemble InterContemporain proposed which could be taken on tour.
		Thinking this over, I decided to divide the work into six short sections, each separated by a tutti, associating the clarinet with a group of instruments of similar sound adding a seventh in which the entire orchestra participates.
		Thus, after a brief tutti, the clarinet is associated with the harp, piano, marimba, vibraphone and in the next section with the unpitched percussion and so on.

		Aaron Copland's Concerto for Clarinet and String Orchestra with Harp and Piano is another such commission, one which Copland eagerly accepted, stating, though, that it would have never occurred to him on his own to write a clarinet concerto.
		Copland did not collaborate with Goodman in composing the work, although, Goodman did make several requests for modifications after the Concerto was presented to him.
		Copland stated: "The clarinet Concerto is cast in a two-movement form, played without pause, and connected by a cadenza for the solo instrument.
