Description by Brian Robins
Of the works which Mozart composed for the outstanding Viennese clarinetist Anton Stadler (1753-1812), the Clarinet Quintet in A, K581, written in 1789, and the present Concerto in A, completed less than two months before the composer's death in 1791, are the crowning achievements. Work on the Concerto was started in 1789. Mozart originally intended the work to be for basset horn, but revised it for clarinet. However, the version widely known today differs from the work Mozart produced for Stadler, since the original version was written for an instrument with an extended bass compass that allowed Stadler to demonstrate his famed ability to play low notes. The transcription for standard clarinet (published ten years after Mozart's death) therefore requires an octave transcription of the notes that cannot be produced on it, which changes the color of the work. The first performance was given by Stadler on 16 October 1791, not in Vienna, but at his benefit concert in the Prague Theatre. It therefore seems certain that the composer never heard the composition that has become one of his best known. Cast in the usual three movements, the gentle, nostalgic lyricism of much of the Clarinet Concerto has drawn such epithets as "valedictory" and "autumnal," an assessment that downplays the extraordinary vigor and verve of this inspired work.
The clarinettist Alan Hacker commented in 1969 that if the original manuscript had been published, "manufacturers would have made and sold basset clarinets by the thousand", but the manuscript was lost. Mozart's widow told a publisher that Stadler had either lost it, pawned it or had it stolen from him. In 1801 three different publishing houses - André, Sieber, and Breitkopf & Härtel - published editions of the work, all with the solo part adapted for the standard clarinet. These became the standard performing editions.
The basset clarinet fell out of use after Stadler's death and no original instruments from his time have survived. The instrument was revived in the latter part of the 20th century: attempts were made to replicate the original version, and new basset clarinets have been built for the specific purpose of performing Mozart's concerto and clarinet quintet. Some have been based on 1790s engravings showing Stadler's instrument. The first performance of a reconstructed version of the original was in 1951; Jiří Kratochvíl's reconstruction was played by the clarinettist Josef Janouš.

The piece that inspired my musical journey since childhood.❤
Nothing else to say here. It's a tonic for today's troubled world...And a nice performance of it too..
One of the greatest compositions of all time!
Excellent performance(s). Thanks for the upload.
The biggest LIKE! ❤ THANK YOU
I just love Mozart's late works; what would he have written if he had survived into his 60s or 70s?
Gould suggested he just would have devolved into Hummel, which I believe is hogwash. I imagine just 5 more years would have seen incredible growth and experimentation.
@@erika6651I think his music would have been similar to Mendelssohn’s music. Unfortunately we’ll never know
@@petrvshka Sadly we won't. His String Quintets may suggest what he could have become.
masterpiece….❤❤masterpiece ❤❤
I like to play Roblox PTFS, andd take a relaxing flight in a piper pa-28 while listening to this.
Funny, I don't think anyone ever really notices that the orchestration, albeit necessarily, is a bit odd, for the time in which this piece was written and even now. Flutes, bassoons, horns, strings.
I think that the orchestration is perfect. The orchestra leaves a "gap" for the timbre of the solo instrument although giving a rich and complete texture in its own.
It is also quite possible that these were the forces available at that specific time. Mozart often wrote for an exact amount of players and specific performers he knew would be available. I have seen manuscript scores where he later inked in trumpets and timpani as they were available, but not when he composed the work (for instance Piano Concerto No. 24)
@@bartjebartmans Mostly possible, yes. It's interesting however how well fits the solo instrument to the orchestra of Fl-Fg-Cor-Archi. The Clarinet shines effortlessly even in pp.
@@csababekesi-marton2393 Yes! It is indeed possible Mozart thought the oboe's timbre too bright for the A Clarinet.
@@bartjebartmans, it certainly is the case that the flutes do not fight with the clarinet! They only shine brightly in the higher octave, while oboes might cover the clarinet if not carefully managed.
Wunderschöne Interpretation dieses perfekt komponierten Konzerts mit bezauberndem Ton der genialen Soloklarinette sowie gut harmonisierten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen der anderen Instrumente. Der zweite Satz klingt besonders schön und fast himmlisch. Im Kontrast klingt der dritte Satz echt lebhaft und auch begeisternd. Der intelligente und erfahrene Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Kammerorchester im angemessenen Tempo und mit angenehmer Dynamik. Einfach faszinierend!
