A recent album by Sabine Meyer and her Trio di Clarone called "Bach in an Hour" contains a ravishing adagio by Mozart. Has anyone heard the recording and if so can you identify that piece by K number and tell me if music exists for it? I would be very grateful for a hint in the right direction, since this piece has touched me more than just about anything else I have heard.

B J , there is a beautiful Mozart Adagio for 3 clarinets [sop or basset] in the booklet "Clarinet Sessions", still available. I have tried to find its K etc #'s without success. We played it several times with emotion! Don

Don,
Many thanks. I think I'm going to write to Frau Meyer and ask her. Will keep you informed. Do you know who publishes "Clarinet sessions?" since I could't find it on a search?
By the way, if you are as much a mozart fan as I am you might enjoy Guy Dagain's three-volume "Initiation a Mozart." The first volume is very easy, except for the interpretation of course, but the last is quite taxing. Best wishes.

"Clarinet Sessions" is published by Shawnee Press.
It's a terrific book with pieces for combinations of two, three or four clarinets. This includes a couple of four-part swing things that are tons of fun.

There is a ravishing Adagio by Mozart for two clarinets and three basset horns, K. 411, thought to have been written as entrance music for a Masonic lodge ceremony. I have a recording of it by the Chicago Symphony clarinets, produced by John Bruce Yeh; it is a 2-CD set that also includes all of the K. 439b divertimenti performed by three basset horns (they also have been published for two clarinets and bassoon). This may be the piece you are thinking of. It is indeed a wonder.
