Subj: [kl] K.622 Band Transcriptions?
Date: Tue, 2 Apr 2002 14:41:48 -0500

There seem to be several band transcriptions of the Mozart clarinet concerto
K.622 available for clarinet in Bb. If you have personal experience with one
or more of these, I'd like to hear your thoughts.

I understand this is neither the ensemble nor the instrument for which Mozart
wrote the work, and I intend to acknowledge that in introductory remarks. But
as an amateur player in a community band, I've come to recognize that if I am
ever to have the chance to perform this masterpiece in public, it will have to
be in this form. I can live with that.
