From: "David Glenn" <maestrodavidglenn@-----.com> 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 Münster (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
