John,
I havn`t heard of this in U.K. before, but if you are <serious> about this
project, if you can find the means to finance it - for example a publisher,
I will certainly look at the possibility of reducing the orch. acc. to
string quartet. Mail my e-mail address to discuss further please.

Subject: [kl] Mozart Concerto - Quintet?

I am considering performing the Mozart clarinet concerto in next year's
Eisteddfod here in Alice Springs and as a full orchestra is neither
available, much less practical would like to know if any arrangements for a
string quartet are available - 2 violins, viola, cello/bass.
I currently have an arrangement for clarinet & piano - Boosey & Hawkes 1946
copyright and comparing what is written to a CD I have with Joze Ostrac
playing the clarinet have noticed some differences in phrasing, etc,
especially in the Rondo mvt - measure 311 the written begins the 16th's
beginning with A 2nd space on staff while the performer plays the passage an
octave lower. I realize the lower is considerably easier to manage and
wonder if this is done typically by other performers?

Thanks for any input in this matter,

John
