I agree because the Mozart Concerto basically shows the musical beauty of
the clarinet while other pieces show the technical facility of the player.
This makes a huge difference in how the pieces are approached and played.
And that is why the Adagio section of the concerto might even be considered
the hardest part in the piece. It is so heartbreakingly beautiful when well
played that it puts an extraodinary demand on the musicianship of the player
to bring out this beauty.
