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. 'The result ' says Homer Ulrich 'is a piece of music whose charm and delicacy are difficult toduplicate in the literature of strings and winds.' This deluxe 2-CD set includes the quintet in its original key with printed parts for both A and B-flat clarinets and adds a repitched version for B-flat clarinetists allowingplayers of that instrument easier execution plus the ability to learn the same fingerings as the composer's intended A clarinet for performance purposes.Includes a high-quality printed music score for B-flat clarinet; anda compact disc containing a complete version with soloist in split-channel stereo (soloist on the right channel); then a second version in full stereo of the accompaniment minus the soloist. Also includes a second compact disccontaining a recording of the quintet repitched to allow B-flat clarinetists to play the original written part for A-clarinet.

for Woodwind Quintet-These two extraordinary works of late Mozart KV 594 and KV 608 were both composed to fulfill a commission for a memorial exhibit in Vienna to be played in a “mechanical clock organ.” The term “fantasy” or“fantasia” came to be affixed to these works later and is more descriptive and less cumbersome than the term Mozart listed in his own catalogue “Ein Stüke für ein Orgelwerk in ein Uhr.” They are also variouslytitled “Adagio und Allegro in f für ein Orgelwerk” and “Allegro und Andante (Fantasie in f) für eine Orgelwaltze.”The first of these composed between the monumental String Quintet in D and the Piano Concertoin Bb KV 595 is an A-B-A form comprised of an f minor Adagio opening and closing with a contrapuntal Allegro at its heart. KV 608 is more complicated opening with an f minor section reminiscent of a French Overture followed by a fugue in fminor then an Andante aria followed by a return to the opening and then a more complex version of the fugue.Despite the frustration that Mozart expressed (in a letter to Constanze) with the sound world of these mechanical devices KV 594and 608 are remarkable works which stand at an intersection incorporating what he learned about counterpoint studying at the foot of Bach while looking ahead to the emotional and harmonic poignancy of Schubert.

Bernhard Heiden (1910 - 2000) was a German conductor composer and music teacher who settled in the United States in 1935.

The quintet was to become his swan song first performed at a memorial for the composer on6 November 1916.

piano reduction with solo part. Par WEBER CARL MARIA VON. Carl Maria von Weber (1786-1826), the great German romantic composer, was, after Mozart, the first master to write distinguished works for the solo clarinet. They include two compositions with piano accompaniment: the Grand Duo Concertant, and Theme and Variations ; two compositions for clarinet and string quartet: the Clarinet Quintet and a set of Variations ; three works for clarinet and orchestra: the Concertino and two Concertos. The Clarinet Concerto No. 2 In E Flat Op. 74 is a lively and majestic piece, which truly explores the sonorities and technical capabilities of the instrument& the opening two notes of the solo Clarinet part span an interval of three octaves, showing off the range and compass of the instrument! This is a tremendous work for solo Clarinet and Orchestra, arranged here for B flat Clarinet with Piano accompaniment, and edited by Eric Simon. The solo Clarinet in B flat part is also included on a separate insert. / Répertoire d'Examen / Répertoire / Clarinette et Orchestre

from the Quintet Op. 23-Baermann was the extremely accomplished clarinettist for whom Weber wrote most of his clarinet music. Unfortunately for Baermann Weber composed his last clarinet work in 1816 (the Grand Duo Concertante) however Baermann still needed fresh pieces for his concerts. To solve this problem Baermann turned to composition himself. This Adagio is the beautiful slow movement from one of three clarinet quintets for clarinet and string quartet that Baermann himself composed between 1820 and 1821.

These arrangements are based on some of the earliest classic recordings in Europe and America. As such they are a great introduction to this music which is now a world-wide phenomenon. Each number isarranged for C Bb Eb and Bass Clef instruments. Brass Reed Piano Flute and String players can receive instant gratification from these entry level arrangements.

Piano reduction with solo part-In 1947 Aaron Copland accepted a commission from Benny Goodman ‘The King Of Swing’ for a piece for solo Clarinet and Orchestra. Copland always wary of repeating himself welcomed the challenge of composing a Clarinet concerto – ‘it might stimulate some fresh ideas’. He knew from the start that a bow to jazz was called for and he hoped also to demonstrate the lyrical qualities of the Clarinet. Dedicated to Goodman the Concerto for Clarinet was finished by the end of 1948. Clarinettists were soon welcoming this new virtuoso piece and it has since become a standard in the Orchestral repertoire.The concerto consists of two movements played back-to-back connected by a Clarinet cadenza. The dreamy and melodic first movement is followed by a free rondo dominated by melodic Latin American jazz themes and is resolved in the end with an elaborate coda in C major that finishes off with a Clarinet glissando – or 'smear' in jazz lingo. Originally written for Clarinet and String Orchestra with Harp and Piano in this edition Concerto for Clarinet is arranged for Clarinet with Piano accompaniment by the composer. Along the published version with the changes requested by Benny Goodman ossias from the original 1948 manuscript are included as well. Comes with a separate insert of the Clarinet score.
