Greetings- I'm sorry to say I'm not writing to answer your question but to
ask another - what exactly is this Adagio that you played? Is it by any
chance a movement of one of the Divertimenti for three bassets, or is it an
independent piece? I'm just curious as I thought I knew (or at least knew
of) everything Mozart had written for basset horn. I'm hoping to do some
playing next year with two other clarinetists, so a piece for two B flats
(I assume) and basset horn would be a most welcome addition.
