Clarinet Concerto (Concert band score & parts)
Description
Mozart wrote his clarinet concerto in 1791 for the virtuoso Anton Stadler (1753 - 1812). He and his brother Johann were distinguished players of the clarinet and basset horn and had known Mozart since 1784; when they participated in performances of his wind serenades. In addition; he was responsible for many technical improvements to both the clarinet and the basset horn; adding extra keys to both instruments and extending the range of the clarinet down to written C - thereby inventing the so-called basset clarinet.
