One of the bests recordings of Clarinet Concerto K.622

[@cmrmusic4998]

The suspension at 13:55 creates a minor ninth chord (if analyzed horizontally), and there's another one at 14:05. Love Mozart for getting creative with stuff like that!

[@pietrogrisoni6078]

Yeah well, it's unlikely that he thought of those as minor ninths (the very concept of dominant chords with minor ninth didn't exist at the time) but those passages still sound interesting anyway.

[@pietrogrisoni6078]

@@MR-gz9lm Yeah I totally agree with that, I put it down wrong in my comment. What I meant is simply that (for the very reason that chords started as voice movement and not as separate harmonic entities) what we have here is still more like an "embellishment minor 9th" - as you said - than an actual minor 9th chord. Anyway, in both instances I'd personally read that "minor 9th" as a note harmonizing the passing note in the bass line and not as part of the dominant harmony, but that's just me.

J- L. ABC it's interesting that the second movement is in the subdominant D, and Mozart frequently modulates to the subdominant throughout this work--a procedure common in the Romantic era, not so much in the Classical style of composition.

Can anyone tell me? The original scores of Mozart, as of many of his genre must have consisted of sketches to include maybe 6 or so parts. Eventually these get transformed into the modern scores of exact precision to include sometimes 20 or so parts. How does this process occur? How does the final modern score creator able to claim direct, complete derivation from the composer such as Mozart? Or please provide me with a link.

it's been a VERY long time since I played the clarinet. Are the higher or the lower notes more difficult?

[@marinromer]

Higher definitely

[@pokerandphilosophy8328]

That's true unless you are a very tall player, in which case the lower notes are harder.

[@benjaminsim5233]

Higher, especially on A and B flat clarinets. I haven't played an A clarinet but I'm assuming it's rather similar to B flat. I've played E flat and B flat. The higher notes are slightly easier to play on the E flat or D piccolo clarinets.

[@epichaley1173]

Higher is much harder. A beginner who has played for 6 months could easily play the lowest note, but might not even be able to play above the break.

1:50 - clarinet entrance

[@mtv565]

In the beginning when the orchestra begins, the clarinet does not need to play but on the score it is written to play, doubling the 1st violins. Why?

[@IsaacW.]

It's just to show the transposition. The clarinet never plays in that part and this is the first arrangement I have seen that shows that transposition.

[@thierrywarot5792]

Fantastique

[@garysikon1812]

[@stag1528]

At 10:40 why does the clarinet play very low even though it is near middle c?

[@koshidostrat]

The piece was originally written for Bassett clarinet. This special clarinet can go even lower the standard A clarinet. The octave differences between the player and the score happens throughout the entire piece.

Is it common of people who do not have an A clarinet to play this concerto and transposed the clarinet portion to B? I think it will very difficult to do.

[@rothschildianum]

Thank you for replying. I do have a Bb Buffett Crampon Clarinet (Tradition model) and I do love this piece. I am a beginner for a Clarinet. Actually, I happened to find the Bb version for piano and clarinet. I think at this moment, this piece is too difficult if I have to play on a Clarinet. I agree, I can do it with Alto Sax.

[@jeffreyhodes]

if you're playing it by yourself or with piano, you can just play the notes as written on Bb clarinet. It will sound a half step higher, but that's fine. On the other hand, if you want to play this with orchestra you will need an A clarinet for sure. Every good clarinet player needs an A clarinet, though.
