Re: C# to D (Mozart Clarinet Concerto)

Some people play this passage quite loud, having done a crescendo through bars 148 and 149. I myself now think of it differently; I imagine those bars like the behaviour of a suddenly disturbed bird rising into the sky, as a reaction to bar 147.

So a diminuendo is in order, 'getting smaller' as clarinet and violins get farther away from the powerful basset notes at the beginnings of bars 145, 146, 147.

The clattery switch between RH2 and RH4 that you don't like is worth avoiding if we want the almost invisible bird. You can either do what Robert suggests, forgetting about RH4 and correcting the pitch otherwise; or – and this would be what I would do if I were playing on a modern instrument – leave RH4 on for the C#.

This creates a 'small' semitone between C# and D, but it's very much the sort of thing that a solo violinist might do deliberately, being unrestrained by their instrument in this regard. And if you want, you can create the same effect on the next two wiggles by playing both the A# and the F# (from the B and G respectively) by just pressing the RINGS of the RH.

I find this solution expressively quite satisfying, I must say.
