You helped put the clarinet in the orchestra and wrote our two greatest works. Kudos!

"... and wrote our two greatest works"
Excuse me, but that was Brahms!
However, that Mozart fellow is famous enough for his birthday to be celebrated on Google today.

If there are so many people on this board unwilling or unable to have a civil and balanced discussion about important issues, then I shan't bother to post here any more.
To the great relief of many of you, no doubt.

What a great day today is. This afternoon, I'm getting together with a bunch of friends to watch Amadeus and then have an all-Mozart "jam session".

YES, May I echo all of the above ? A fine list of cl works, Larry B, I'll bet you, GBK and others can post a lengthy list of WAM's Operas also. I have often wondered if the Adagio in "Clarinet Sessions" is the Canonic Adagio [we played it as a cl trio] and does it have a K # ? It was/is downright beautiful , very enjoyable and not too difficult for "semi-pros". Our local OK Mozart is sponsoring a Salzberg trip shortly and our M's week in June is going to be GREAT. A fine new format, Mark C !! Don
Thanx, Mark, Don

Don,
The Adagio for 2 basset horns and bassoon (Canonic Adagio) is K 484d
The Adagio for 2 clarinets and 3 basset horns is K411
Beautiful little pieces.

TKS, Larry, I bestirred myself into a bit of Google searching, and found in Wikipedia a listing of 18 Operas by Mozart, some I'd never heard of ! I tried to find early recordings [see it's thread] but no luck so far. Will continue, Don
Thanx, Mark, Don

Happy Birthday Wolfie,
All I can say is Thank You. All other comment is superfluous.

Played the "Mozart" Wind Sinfonia Concertante in Sept... twice in one weekend !
Now, now, I know it probably wasn't Mozart, (let's not start another thread on it), but so what....we had a blast with a great band behind us.
Music of that ilk is what many of us grew up on. My mother (now 93), father (now 94) and I played the Kegelstatt ad infinitum and I'm so grateful they introduced me to small chamber music at an early age. In 2004 we had Sarah Williamson play the Mozart Concerto with us...just stunning.
This year will surely be a cracker....we're already up for K361 in the summer and a Mozart symphony or concerto in September.
I'm sure that since I started playing, it is possible that a year has hardly passed without my playing a significant Mozart work, whether as soloist, chamber or orchestral member.
That, I'm sure holds true for many of the BB members.
I suspect no other composer can match that.

In light of Larry's list, I think this should be added:
La Clemenza di Tito - "Parto, Parto"

JessKate,
I thought about adding Tito - don't forget "Non piu di fiori" too (basset horn).
And while I'm at:
Quintet for piano and winds

I was in my European History class (1400-1800) and the teacher came in and asked if anyone knew why today was significant in European History. I was the only one who knew that today was Mozart's B'day and I got a copy of "The Prince" by Machiavelli (we were supposed to read an excerpt from it last night) as a prize for knowing the trivia question. Thanks Mozart! Thanks B'boarders for reminding me about it last night while I was reading the board!

Here is a paper I wrote last year on K622, It's a typical paper, meant for a performance practice class, but I did write out some of Colin Lawson's added notes. So It just might be interesting to someone who hasn't listened to 20+recordings of the piece. I'm by no means a scholar but the notes are accurate. Stay tuned for my next paper, "Play like Pay!" a look at what Tony Pay does on his recording. If you've only heard one recording, and we all know what that one is. Get 2, Colin Lawson, and Tony Pay. You'll have a great time.

As a Mozart celebration a marathon concert was given in a Stockholm church yesterday. For 12 hours between 12 noon to midnight there was one concert every hour. All professional musicians played for free just out of love for the music. The church was packed with people the whole day with people waiting in a line of 100 meters long. Among the pieces performed were: Gran Partita, klar quintet, klar concerto, trios for basset horns, c-minor serenade, string quartets, exultate jubilate and a lot more. It was a joyful event to celebrate the greatest musician in history.
