Subj: Re: Difficult Bit in Mozart Concerto
Date: Thu, 25 Apr 1996 12:03:32 -0400

Hello everyone! I'm not only a new kid on the block, but I'm also new to the
world of the Internet. The correspondence begun by Ian Dilley on a difficult
part in the third movement of Mozart's Clarinet Concerto (measures 311-314)
has prompted me to attempt posting my first message.

It has been pointed out that a number of performers and teachers play this
passage an octave lower. This sounded like an excellent idea to me until I
got to the middle C in measure 312! How does one play this note an octave
lower without a basset clarinet? Can anyone please enlighten me?

Sincerely, Dave Yee
