CLARINET CONCERTO IN A MAJOR, K. 622

This edition of the Mozart Clarinet Concerto is a standard, but there are some issues. For one thing, there is an Alberti bass passage near the end of the first movement that has wrong notes, and a couple of the page turns are far more difficult to make on time than in some other editions. Although it, too, has a wrong note (an A-flat that's missing in m. 280 of the first movement), and although it's more expensive than the Schirmer edition, the Breitkopf & Hartel edition has much better page turns in the first and third movements and thus is easier to play from. For high school players who don't have access to an A clarinet the one thing the Schirmer edition has going for it is that the piano reduction from the original orchestral accompaniment is transposed so so that the clarinetist can use a B-flat clarinet.

This is such a wonderful piece of music. I am working on it with a private student who did the Von Weber Concertino last year. The endurance, facility and technical expertise it takes to play this selection makes it a wonderful teaching and learning piece as well as it being a timeless classic in and unto itself. Amazon was great in getting it to me so quickly and at a more than reasonable price.

Just what I needed!

good change to piano accompaniment instead of whole orchestra.

eveb better than my original copy from 50+ years ago

I am very satisfied.

for Bb Clarinet! YES!

Exactly what we expected

Clearly printed score. This is for clarinet in B flat, not the original A. The solo part is loose within the piano score, so check that this is enclosed. The first copy delivered was missing the solo part. Although it is normal for a separate solo score to be included, the Amazon site does not mention this, which caused some confusion when I pointed out the shortfall. However, Amazon were excellent in rapidly replacing the item.

this is what my son wants，happy

Very helpful,seller even checked to see if it was the correct publisher.
