The Mozart Clarinet Concerto: How Should it be Performed? A Lecture Recital, Together with Three Recitals of Selected Works by E. Bozza, J. Brahms, C. Debussy, J. Françaix, R. Schumann, L. Spohr, and C.M. Weber

Abstract

This paper discusses historically and musically significant insights into how the Mozart clarinet Concerto, K. 622, should be performed. The clarinet Concerto was the last wind concerto composed by Mazart and was completed around November 15, 1791, less than a month before his death. Mozart's original manuscript was probably lost. The only extant autograph of the Concerto is a fragmentary one of an earlier sketch dating from 1789
