Re: Mozart Clarinet Concerto-Who Played it Best?

Author: Funfly  Date:   2014-05-02 18:24 While I know that Mozart's Clarinet Concerto contains some of the most beautiful melody but I have always found it painful to watch it performed. First the 52 bar wait for the soloist. We watch him/her fiddle with his reed and move from foot to foot, sometimes standing there trying to look absorbed. Whatever the truth, we, as the viewer, start to think about his plight and nerve and we will the music on to get to the soloist's start. Then the clarinet finally starts we are treated to the wonderful clarinet music, perhaps the most 'mood' melody ever written for clarinet. However as the soloist progresses our mind starts to concentrate less on the music and more on the skills of the player. We are treated to more and more musical acrobatics and eventually our mind will leave the music itself as we become engrossed by the the musician's ever complex fingering. As the concerto continues we then start to appreciate not only his/her abilities but stamina and memory - we can't stop these thoughts from intruding into our awareness and it's more like watching a marathon run than a piece of music.
