Hello Chris and All,

Please note that this excellent honors research project was done by Keith Northover (under my supervision). Keith did a tremendous amount of research over a long period of time preparing this project.

I hope the information Keith has compiled is useful to everyone interested in Mozart's works for the basset horn!

Best wishes,

Mitchell S. Estrin
Professor of Clarinet
University of Florida

I found it interesting that Mozart and his father were all Masons and that he was very much a part of the enlightenment movement. What I do not know however is whether or not the Masons actually served as patrons to Mozart to a degree, given his relative state of poverty...

of course, that is a different topic altogether.

What I find interesting is that this article seems to suggest that the timbre is affected by the thickness of the wall as well as a narrower bore, citing Newhill. The other thing that struck me was covering the woods that constitute the tube in leather... which make me think of the serpent.

The musical source citation is beyond the grasp of this layperson, so I can't really comment on that. I do feel that it is pretty well guided... still beyond me as the referenced pieces aren't in my vocabulary.

Hey Keith, that's "fame" (good) rather than "notoriety" (bad).
