Andrea is a male name in Italy. Etymologically speaking it means something
like "macho man" so... it isn't cut out for a girl!
So... I'm male.

EXPERIMENT... I'll write the text in Italian with an automatic translation
(I hope it will work!). It is so difficult for me to write correctly in
English and I hope someone could understand me in Italian. ...
Italian is a nice language... I hope you will enjoy it (as Mozart did!!!).

Like composer, before still that from clarinetist I have made some technica=
l
observation on the writing of the part of the clarinet in the two concerts.
Just from the observation of the two parts it is obvious as Mozart still
uses the instrument in the typical way of the first concerts as an example
of the Stamitz. The thematic cell often comes in several registries and
from this, the sound of the clarinet is deduced sure that to the age (and
therefore in Stadler) was not homogenous as it is currently. Then... the
instrument of Stadler had one mechanical much less developed and this
prevented, as an example, to obtain chromatic scales in rapidity and fast
passages in far tonalities much from I GIVE. In so far as the writing is
less modern.---I did not want to express a judgment on Mozart or Weber.
Simply the622 are born with various requirements regarding the two concerts
of Weber. Other concerts of Mozart (those for violin or flute) suremore "
are relaxed " and turn out clearer the purpose, mainly of "consumption musi=
c
". This is not therefore clear in the 622.In Weber the flauntiness is a
determining element because it is in the style of the age. Weber much less
is contained than Mozart (of the Mozart of the 622) and uses sure effects,
taken from the work, than Mozart she does not use. No qualitative
judgment... only of the stylistic, objective considerations this time.
