Mozart Clarinet Quintet on period instruments Part 1 k. 581

[nasss4u]

When i youn once MASH would come on i knew it was time for bed lol. Then when i was around 19 i fell in love with the show!!

[KTS2035]

I absolutely love the violin solos in this piece.

[Lilpapa89]

First found this in music class loved it ever since

[vonspre]

"first heard this on M.A.S.H"...That's America, I guess...Soooo sad and ridiculous at the same time...

[idonotweet]

@vonspre Does it really matter how music is spread? I don't find it sad at all. M*A*S*H was a brilliant show and there's not much else that can compare to it in today's television. At least be thankful people are watching this show and enjoying THIS kind of music and not the other garbage that's out there. Mozart helps me study and I'm thankful that M*A*S*H allowed me to give this music a chance.

[TheJoshuaCarter]

Yeah, when I hear this I don't think os M*A*S*H or anything like that; I think of how much of a genius Mozart was and how, to this day, his music changes lives.

[SuperRoo101]

I can't believe all anyone is talking about on here is MASH! What about the genius of Mozart!? What about the beautiful, beautiful music you you artless, heartless, soulless fools.

[m173627]

@SuperRoo101

There's nothing wrong with MASH. I think it was a very emotional and wholesome show, unlike the utter garbage on tv now.

Mozart was a musical genius. That's quite understood, so let's not belabor the point. We'll give him the due credit without going overboard and start worshiping the man. And that's coming from an orchestra cellist who has gone on tour across Europe, and who also saves lives on an ambulance in his spare time. So I hardly think I'm artless, soulless, or heartless.

[ThePunkstar4u]

MAAAASH !

[CheyenneRose8]

first heard this on M*A*S*H

probably one of the best shows out there... and im 16 at that.

[alisondontbeordinary]

First heard this on the last episode of M*A*S*H, so so sad but loved the POWS version lol going to look for that next . Poor Charles.

[KIBA401]

i got to play the clarinet part for solo fest last year its a level 5 and i loved it so much

[NihilTico]

I swear, if anyone knew how to write for the wind instruments, especially the clarinet, it was Mozart. I can't help but shake my head in disbelief at how beautiful the opening motif is...

[queen9300]

このMOZARTのクラリネット五重奏曲、

私が今まで聞いた中で一番良い（気に行った）演奏。

[GilmourWaters91]

Every time I hear this I think of the last episode of MASH and it brings a tear to my eye.

[ahhlinxx]

anyone has this score sheet music ? >.< i desperately want it .... !!

[leonardguetta]

@ahhlinxx Go to IMSLP (google it and take the first link). There are plenty of free scores and it's legal (really).

[yaymeq]

@leonardguetta oh my goodness ... I don't know how long I have been looking for free sheet music! Thanks so much! I went there an it's awesome!

[josephschwenker]

Best song ever.

[Siberiaeterna]

This is the soundtrack of the french Agnes Varda's movie "The Happiness".

[grabbigtits]

Clarinet here is marvellous!

[davlor86]

Mozart is great!

[Ciampolo86]

Pay is very comunicative!!

[TheFineArtsReview1]

This piece is devastatingly charming. The combination of the jocosely vainglorious Clarinet undulating herself nudely against the lusting strings trying to maintain their stoic exteriors makes the witheringly wispy undulations of this rhetoric stand at attention...for all the best reasons imaginable.

[ashraniyyah]

@TheFineArtsReview1 very poetic. this would be a great poem. ;-)

[NihilTico]

@TheFineArtsReview1

-_-

seriouslY? lol, but it was nice imagery.

[wwefreakjon]

First time I heard this was on M*A*S*H and I've loved it ever since

[electricallogan]

Same with me. Every time I hear this my mind immediately thinks of Charles and those POW's and what a lovely job they did playing this.

[RaabidCutMonkey]

@wwefreakjon its sad when all of the POW's die in the back of the t

ruck then Charles smashes the record

[dansvidco]

@wwefreakjon Indeed.. Although MASH ended 1 year before I was born, I remember watching this in the 90s,and only recently downloaded all 11 seasons. Im not a fan of Mozart, but the part Charles teaches is amazing. M*A*S*H is the best tv show ever, and almost brings a tear to my eye hearing the opening theme.

R.I.P Larry Linville, and McLean Stevenson

[DutchRage44]

@wwefreakjon same

[chickenpieces]

@wwefreakjon SAME HERE!!!!!

[dylanholman3]

@wwefreakjon me too!

[poeticprose]

I miss my clarinet. D:

[elias12186]

Listen to the concerto also you jerks

watch?v=tWBhvOkdPg4

[BachClarinet]

@elias12186 

[olittledannyboi]

This is amazing.

Does anybody know how much a basset clarinet costs?

Or where to get one?

[theman9126]

about 6700-8000 dollars and you can basically buy online from music and arts or any other online music store. if thats too much money, you can get a lower joint constructed from a company you find online. another option is borrowing one from your local university

[Concertmaster3]

Leblanc makes one. Tom Ridenour also sells a basset extension (and a basset clarinet). Google him and his name should pop up.

[Bassplyr1470]

wow listening to this makes me wonder why we ever changed. (practicality had the most to do with it, At least for the violins i think, but that doesn't matter.)

[Silverlin212]

THE best period recording of the quintet k581EVER! This music literally transcends you to another world, one where the relative and Absolute merge into a single unity of perfect expression.

[rankfrankrank]

this is anthony pay?

I heard him play crusell concertos and weber concertos, but this is something else...

I mean he doesn't sound like himself at all.

[emoClarinetist]

Interpreting Mozart's music is something to do far more than playing Weber or Crusell. Not saying that those two composers had bad taste, but Mozart's true elegancy brings something to the performer as he establishes a wide and broad, perhaps even a harder way of expressing Mozart's music.

[rankfrankrank]

Well, you may be right about that but I was actually referring to his tone not his way of expression or style. I never liked his tone from the Weber and Crusell recordings but I like his tone from this recording. He just sounds better on this, that is all.

[besnotaplace]

I thought I'm the only one who can't appreciate Weber's and Crusell's clarinet pieces. Glad to meet you!

[daliahc]

Crusell I agree with you, but to play Weber correctly is difficult. It has to be very precise.

[erniemajor]

Oh thank you Elias 12186!!. THIS is the recording I had many years ago....wonderful.

For once I'm rather lost for words....just listen to them!:)

[thebook55555]

what a beautiful clarinet tone!

[stickom]

Though I am an amateur horn player, I put Mozart clarinet works together with horn concertos and quintet, and this interpretation is the most refined I heard so far. Yes, good question though I think this is more basset clarinet in C and Mozart approach to it as a transposing instrument. I welcome some historian to talk about this, and big thanks for this posting and music.

[Goldfish3017]

Such a high quality version. Thanks you for posting.

[south0park04ever1]

lovely. interesting to see the changes that have had to be made for clarinet in A. I am practising this for performance later this year.
