Talk:Clarinet Concerto (Mozart)

message: Everything I remember reading says that he might have written it for basset horn, not that he did. Is there a source that confirms it somewhere? Melodia Chaconne 9 July 2005 18:21 (UTC)
What I have read on the subject, though not definitive, stated that Stadler had an extended clarinet created, with a range similar to the basset.  I understand that Mozart wrote the concerto for this instrument. Asimovfan01 04:39, August 8, 2005 (UTC)
When the concerto was first published by Breitkopf und Haertel in 1803, a review was published in the Allgemeine musikalischen Zeitung in which the writer says that he had the original score and points out notes in the basset register which had been changed. See Arthur Ness, "The original text of Mozart's Concerto, K.V. 622" (M.A. thesis, Harvard U., 1963).
:I have to examine more sources, but I suppose the piece was originally sketched a Concerto in G for basset horn, and Stadler was made a new kind of clarinet, basset clarinet, which is the instrument Mozart can be said composed for. Another thing, I'm not totally convinced about references for alberti bass (I can hear it some seconds on I mvt, around 4:30 and 10:50, depending of recordings). Personally I feel there are way better examples of this musical device. --Jacofin 08:09, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: http://www.classicalnotes.co.uk/home.html is one source which says it's written for basset clarinet:
 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. --Jacofin 08:32, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I took out wording saying that Mozart wrote the concerto "shortly before he died", because I believe it invites readers to think he was bedridden and struggled to finish it.  To the contrary, it seems that the first half of October 1791 was a pretty good time for Mozart.  See for instance his happy letter of 14 October to Constanze, describing how much his colleague Salieri had enjoyed attending The Magic Flute as his guest (the opera had been playing to packed houses since Sept. 30).  Things obviously got much, much worse for Mozart, but only later.  Opus33 (talk) 17:00, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
