It is a very small part. The only section of the work that uses
a clarinet is number 6, which is an aria with a lot of wind
accommpaniment. The clarinet is important but it is not
substantial. And despite the fact the Koechel says 2 clarinets,
there is only one used for that aria. There are no other clarinet
part or parts for two clarinets in the entire work. The K listing
is 469, and by that time, Mozart wrote exceptionally
intelligently for the instrument so don't think it is so simple
as to be a walk in the park. The aria, which is for tenor, has
the four winds (fl., ob., cl., and bsn.) playing a concertante
role, but none of it is a part to frighten one to death, though
with Mozart, you never know.

Has anyone played this? I don't at the moment have access to a
score,
and would like to know how substantial the (single) clarinet part
is.
