Sean disagreed with me re K622:

<<<I do happen to think that the Mozart clarinet concerto stacks up against
his other great concertos, though Piano cto. #23 is marvelous.>>>

Perhaps I've just heard it too much, played mostly by the interchangeables.
At middle-school solo festivals, too. Sigh.

Sean then PSed:

<<<PS, for Beethoven violin concerto - check out Michael Collins playing it
on the clarinet - it works very well (and a music critic friend of mine
actually likes it better that way).>>>

I will.

I am of the opinion that the Copland violin sonata works *much* better on
clarinet. There are a couple of good recordings about. When I heard it
played on violin, I thought it was a feline disagreement.
