The Clarinet Concerto was completed less than two months before the composer's death in 1791 and is one of his greatest achievements. Mozart originally intended the work to be for basset horn but revised it for clarinet. Theversion that we have come to know and love today actually differs widely from the original. This is because it was written for clarinetist Anton Stadler who played with an extended bass compass that allowed Stadler to demonstratehis famed ability to play low notes. The piece had to be transposed higher in order to be played on the modern clarinet.

Sometimes referred to as the Stadler Quintet Clarinet Quintet KV 581 is Mozart's only completed Clarinet Quintet and was written in 1789 for the clarinetist Anton Stadler.   This idyllic flowing piece was originally written for basset Clarinet but is almost always played on a Clarinet in A or B-flat. It remains to this day one of the composer's most admired works.   The work is arranged here for Clarinet and Piano.  

In late 1791 Mozart wrote his famous work the Concerto for ?Bassettklarinette? and Orchestra K.622 known today as his Clarinet Concerto. The challenging virtuoso piece was written for Anton Stadler and the music follows the three-part structure of Allegro Adagio and a Rondo finale.This work was first published in 1801 and by no less than three publishers. It is one of the most important works in the Clarinet repertoire and remains a popular work to the present date.Urtext of the New Mozart EditionFull score & performance material (BA4773) Clarinet in A & Piano reduction (BA4773-90) and study score format 22.5 x16.5cm (TP254) available for saleClarinet in B-flat & Piano reduction (BA4773-38)Reconstructed version for Basset Clarinet and Orchestra full score (BA4773-01)

Performed by Keith Dwyer clarinetAccompaniment : Cassini String Quartet: Charles Roth 1st violin; Marla Smith 2nd violin; John Madison viola; John Iatzko violoncelloWritten for his friend and fellow Mason inVienna Anton Stadler the quintet was completed in September of 1789 and premiered a few days before Christmas of that year. It is one of Mozart's most perfect accomplishments ? a score of proud serenity transparenttexture and radiant beauty. It is also an example of Mozart's uncanny ability to combine the best parts of chamber music and concerto music. The solo clarinet leads the ensemble but does not subjugate it. There is an infinitevariety of interplay between the performing partners and all five instruments undertake the virtuoso's role at one time or another.
