Re: Mozart quintett for basset clarinet

Alphie,

I wouldn't consider playing those scales down the octave. Firstly because the eingang would be down the octave and would then need to be altered so that you can start the recapitulation on the right note. One could argue however that the eingang could then be "improvised" in the true manner of a cadenza.

I personally play it was it is because as Tony rightly points out you would lose some of the magic that is created here with the suspensions in the harmony. I also feel that playing these down the octave would take away the interest which for me is in the cello.

Tony,

Do you not think the violin dovetails with the cello in those four bars? It seems to me that perhaps the violin and cello dovetail here. I reason being that if we forget the oscillation and just take the first note of each of those groups of demi-semi quavers the cello always has the next note in the downward sequence in a kind of harmonic dovetailing. Perhaps the oscillation is a written out trill.
