Great Clarinet Quintets(2). Mozart's friendship with Anton Stadler, the clarinetist in Vienna's Royal-Imperial Court Orchestra, led to the composition of his beloved Quintet in A Major. The four-movement piece is arranged for clarinet, two violins, viola, and cello. Brahms's Clarinet Quintet in B minor, also in four movements, is equally popular and often recorded as a companion to Mozart's work. Professional and amateur musicians alike will appreciate this convenient single-volume publication of these frequently performed quintets. Both scores were reproduced from authoritative sources. Durable but inexpensive, this edition features a sturdy binding that allows pages to remain open on music stands for years of use and enjoyment.

Performed by Denitza Lavchieva clarinet Accompaniment: Tempi Concertati Chamber Orchestra Conductor: Nayden Todorov Mozart did not make extensive use of the clarinet until comparatively late in his career but he wrote exquisitely for the instrument and the two scores dedicated to his friend Anton Stadler-the Quintet KV581 and the Concerto KV622-are among his most beautiful works. Both incidentally belong to the final year of his life. The Clarinet Concerto is in the conventional three movements with music that transcends conventionality in its remarkable sense of repose and serenity and what Bernhard Paumgartner has called 'its incredible warmth of tone perfectbalance and unmatched perfection of style.' The concerto had a tremendous resurgence in popularity with the release of the Academy-Award-winning 1985 film Out of Africa of which the piece formed a major element. This deluxe 2-CD set includes the concerto in its original key with printed parts for both A and B-flat clarinets and adds a repitched version for B-flat clarinetists allowing players 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 (featuring both A and B-flat clarinet parts) on ivory paper; a compact disc featuring the complete concerto in digital stereo followed by the concerto performed again but minus you the soloist.

The piano version of the B flat major Quintet Op. 34 prepared by Carl Maria von Weber himself will no doubt cause some surprise among clarinetists as well. To this day few people know that the composer arranged his work for clarinet and piano as soon as he heard about the success of the original scoring. Weber himself a talented pianist transposed the string quartet sound to the piano in an effortless and very idiomatic manner. In Weber's version for clarinet and piano the Quintet proves to be just as suitable for concert performance as for the rehearsing of the original chamber setting. Ulrich Leisinger's source studies show that Weber very carefully followed thepublication of the first edition in 1816. Divergences from the quintet version (EB5830) are indicated in the new edition.
