KV1 622 Concerto for Clarinet in A major in A major. Buy sheetmusic for this work at 's Clarinet concerto in A major, 622 was written in 1791 for the clarinetist. It consists of the usual three movements, in a fast-slow-fast form: • • •: Allegro It was also one of Mozart's final completed works, and his final purely instrumental work (he died in the December following its completion).

The concerto is notable for its delicate interplay between and, and for the lack of overly extroverted display on the part of the soloist (no are written out in the solo part). The slow movement was popularized by the film. Contents • • • • • • • • Original version Mozart originally wrote the work for, a special clarinet championed by Stadler that had a range down to low (written) C, instead of stopping at (written) E as standard clarinets do. As most clarinets could not play the low notes which Mozart wrote to highlight this instrument, Mozart's publisher arranged a version of the concerto with the low notes to regular range, and did not publish the original version. This has proven a problematic decision, as the autograph no longer exists, having been by Stadler, and until the mid 20th century did not know that the only version of the concerto written by Mozart's hand had not been heard since Stadler's lifetime.

Once the problem was discovered, attempts were made to reconstruct the original version, and new basset clarinets have been built for the specific purpose of performing Mozart's concerto. There can no longer be any doubt that the concerto was composed for an extended-range clarinet. Numerous recordings of various restorations exist; some of the notable ones include with the, with the Mostly Mozart Orchestra, and with the Old Fairfield Academy (notable for Hoeprich's use of a period-style basset clarinet based on Stadler's instead of a modern-style instrument). In this context it is interesting to note that other works were written for Stadler and his instrument by composers closely linked to the Mozart-Stadler circle: • The by, who completed Mozart's. Premiere The concerto was given its premiere by Stadler in on October 16, 1791.

Reception of his performance was in general positive. The Berlin Musikalisches Wochenblatt noted in January of 1792, 'Herr Stadeler, a clarinettist from Vienna.

A man of great talent and recognised as such at court. His playing is brilliant and bears witness to his assurance.' There was some disagreement on the value of Stadler's extension; some even faulted Mozart for writing for the extended instrument.

First movement: Allegro Originally written as a sketch for, the movement opens with an orchestral statement of the main theme. The theme is taken up by the soloist, and the music quickly takes on a more melancholy feel. At the end of this section, the pauses in the solo part are occasionally taken as a point to perform an (cadenza), although no context is offered for a true cadenza. The main theme reappears transposed, and leads to the novel feature of the soloist accompanying the orchestra with an. Further development leads to dramatic turn, which, after a, leads back into the main theme. The Alberti bass and arpeggios for the soloist recur before the movement ends in a relatively cheerful tutti in A major.

The second half of the double exposition of this movement (frequently called simply 'the exposition' by clarinetists since it is the only part they play) appears on almost every professional orchestral clarinet audition. • Orchestral ritornello: bars 1-56 • Solo exposition: bars 57-154 • Ritornello: bars 154-171 • Development: bars 172-227 • Ritornello: bars 227-50 • Recapitulation: bars 251-343 • Ritornello: bars 343-359. Second movement: Adagio Possibly the best-known part of this concerto, the beautiful and profound Adagio in (or ABA) opens with the soloist playing the movement's primary theme. The descending notes of the answering theme are more elegiac, and are, like the first, repeated by the orchestra. The development, in which the solo part is always to the fore, exploits both the chalumeau and clarion registers, and is frequently performed with a final cadenza, which is often a section of the Larghetto of. The first theme and its answer recur (the return of the A section), leading into a. Third movement: Rondo: Allegro The closing rondo has a cheerful refrain, with episodes either echoing this mood or recalling the darker colours of the first movement.
