Re: Mozart's Clarinet Quartet??

Many of mozart's works were transcribed for other instruments and combinations. Sometimes by Mozart himself (eg: string quintet version of the C minor wind serenade), usually by publishers (Andre) seeking to maximize financial gain from his popularity. I believe some, if not all, of the clarinet/string quartets are available from Musica Rara.

In a famous letter, Mozart once wrote about having to quickly transcribe arias from the Abduction from the Seraligio for wind octet before someone else did it.
