Well, I've played Mozart's concerto and quintet on my basset clarinet in A, and now I'm looking for some other pieces! I know about Harrison Birtwistle's Linoi, but are there any other pieces for basset clarinet? Did Birtwistle write any other pieces for basset clarinet?

Liquorice ... it's a slim repertoire I'm afraid. I was going to, audaciously, suggest that you might try a recent work composed for the Upper Canada Clarinet Choir ... but it's not scored for Basset in A, rather Basset in F. Maybe you need to grab a budding composer and commission a work?
Without music, the world would be grey, very grey.

Hello,
I heard some people are playing basset horn trios witch clarinet, using one basset clarinet for the low part.

Markus, I think you mean basset horn. Liquorice was asking about repertoire for basset clarinet in A.
Liqourice, there is a piece by a Swedish composer who's name escapes me now. I'll try to find out. It was performed by Kjell-Inge Stevensson together with us a few years ago. I'll ask him.

It's a new one all right, from Stadler's time ...
It only seems new because the term was lost for a couple of hundred years.

don't forget the movement that Sussmayr wrote, he didn't finish it, probably to busy with Mozart's Requiem

Liqourice, the Swedish composer is Lars Sandberg. I'm sure you can get the material from http://www.stim.se . The concerto is very easy to learn meaning not very technically complicated. The basset notes are few but existing. I can't remember what it sounded like but I think it's based on timbre and colours more than virtuosity.
