I had the privilege of playing the Mozart Concerto Adagio movement in church this morning. What a magical moment! I played a favorite piece at near my best. The acoustics were superb. I had the perfect reed. The accompanist covered my one mistake (and the audience / congregation wasn't discerning enough to notice). It just all came together in a special way. Now how do I follow that up...?

Play the whole concerto? With orchestra on basset clarinet?

Next time, don't rely on the accompanist to "cover my one mistake". Know every note and ablsolutely prepare to play error free. This might be one consideration for improvement and how to follow up on an otherwise 'magical musical moment'.

Peter: Don't I wish -- although I know the whole concerto, I'll never have that sort of opportunity other than with a music minus one CD in my living room. Even William's suggestions won't bring me from 2nd chair in the community orchestra to featured soloist. Maybe another church gig with the Adagio from the quintet?

Hi,
I have played many times for church services and found it to be a magical moment as well. In addition, I've transcribed several Bach and other composers' work for alto sax or clarinet with keyboard.
Here is a link to another thread where I mention some of the repertoire I've used.

Mel Bay has several very nice books by Norman Heim; Ludwig Masters also has some fine solos appropriate for a religious setting.

The most profound musical experience of my life was when I played the slow movement with piano for my mother's memorial service.

I don`t think you will ever top it, and why would you want to?
There are only a few magical moments in life and these are too precious to be diluted. Hang onto these as treasured memories. (1933-)
