Re: C# to D (Mozart Clarinet Concerto)

Author: Bob Bernardo  Date:   2017-08-22 10:44 This Concerto is difficult. And we all know it was not written for the clarinet but for the extended clarinet or for whatever we wish to call it. This is why one of my favorite recordings is with David Shifrin and also with the regular clarinet Bob Marcellus. David was the first or one of the very first players to perform it with the extended version. Bob of course is probably my favorite because it is played so cleanly and we have George Szell and the Cleveland Orchestra behind him. Tuning of course is perfect. Szell wouldn't permit anything but perfection. So I don't know. It's a beautiful piece and we should always enjoy it. I won't ever turn down a chance to perform this and the quintet. The quintet is actually my favorite piece ever to play. It's scary and beautiful. All 5 of you must be perfect. So we must be tolerant and respectful knowing that this piece has probably already been performed by some of the greats listed above as well as Sabine Meyer, Ricardo, Frost, and many others. Instruments fail us. Keys bend, we aren't all privy to expert repairmen and playing with the very best orchestras in the world, plus several retakes when something goes wrong during a recording session. We have to remember that this concerto is still asked at pretty much every top orchestra audition. Yet every high school student has to play this to get into a good music college. So lets be more tolerant if a note is out of tune! Designer of - Vintage 1940 Cicero Mouthpieces and the La Vecchia mouthpieces Yamaha Artist 2015
