Subj: [kl] Mozart Kyrie in D minor K. 341 - A or Bb parts?
Date: Sun, 2 Nov 2003 13:02:48 -0500

Hi again,
Here's a question (for Dan if he's still on the list). I'm playing the Mozart Requiem on the 22nd and 23rd in Breisach in the M&#252;nster (Cathedral). The conductor is adding the Kyrie in D minor K.341 to the programm as he finds it too short otherwise. He asked me if he should send me A or Bb clarinet parts. I asked which was original and he said the A parts were original. But when it arrived (I could have worked it out sooner if I'd known the key) the A clarinet part had four flats in the key signature! Thanks to Dan Leeson, I know that that is highly unlikely if not impossible. I called up the conductor and explained this but the conductor said that in his score (which is handwritten) it calls for A clarinets. Dan, how would you put it?: does that dog bark? Might it be possible that some copyist somewhere along the line added two flats to the key signature?? Or changed it from Bb to A?? I would like to play it on the correct clarinet since I know that Dan has a house only a
few miles from Breisach and that therefor my life would otherwise be jeopardized ;-). I'm hoping to find out what is what here.
By the way, I did check the archives and found only reference to the Requiem. I believe we will be playing with a normal trumpet and not a "soprano trombone". Apparently the horns will be coming only for the Kyrie...
Greeetings,
David
