[ambrosius]

Just finished listening to this sublime piece of music. Thank you for sharing this wonderful gift with us all

[vampireweekend4eva12]

heard this on the sims 2 freetime!

[Matthijs2091]

Beautiful! I love this piece!

[comic4relief]

How about this question then?: I've read that the original of this was lost somewhere in Europe (sold by Stadler?). So, apparently, what actually remains is a "revised" and "corrupt" print intended for "standard" clarinet. Am I not hearing in this a basset horn range, down to low-A?

[HARMONICO101]

I don't know anything about a lost version, but this piece was originally for basset clarinet (heard in this recording). People though today like to play it on an A or B-flat clarinet.

I refer to The Mozart Compendium, page 288, in the sub-section "Quintets for wind and strings: "The work was one of Mozart's finest inspirations, sadly known to us now only in a corrupt version..." I ask because this book was released in 1990, plenty long ago for something to have developed since.

@comic4relief you're thinking of the Mozart Clarinet Concerto. lol. -oscar from osh0011. I'm on my sister's user at the moment.

[comic4relief]

@venessaanne -- Are you suuure? 

[comic4relief]

@comic4relief --- Are you not thinking of the Quintet for Clarinet?

[comic4relief]

This is slightly lower. Is it A-432?

[HARMONICO101]

Yup.

[comic4relief]

how does that work exactly? Is that international pitch, or? Refer me to something to read, like a web-page. Thanx

[HARMONICO101]

On wikipedia, there is an article on Baroque pitch.

[Spiceofmadrid]

I like Baroque pitch.

[comic4relief]

That is something! I love the period sound.

Sweet! An excerpt of this song is on the classical "station" on Sims 2.

[HARMONICO101]

Really? I didn't know they used any real music!

[Ringo84]

They do at least with classical music. But I think they have popular artists (like They Might Be Giants) record versions of their songs in "simlish" too.
