Subj: Clarification of Earlier Remark
Date: Wed, 8 Oct 1997 22:26:32 -0400

I just wanted to clarify that in suggesting that K. 622 could be played
on the flute or horn that I was neglecting to think about the
limitations of the instruments and instead focusing on the effect. The
effect may differ on horn, but I think that a flute, neglecting these
difficulites, could give an effect quite equal to the clarinet.

This was perhaps an error in judgment on my part, neglecting these
differences, but I still hold to my earlier premise, and the point I was
trying to make in the above example: Mozart's Concerto is more generic,
as opposed to Weber's direct aim at the clarinet.
