Mozart Clarinet Quintet - Larghetto

[trainguy2020]

I love this! I had this on an old CD(can't find it LOL). Plus, it skipped alot too. what are the cords for the clarinet and is it easy to play?

[globalnettuber]

Show me the clarinets

[BruceJNolan]

You're experiencing greatness in this music..Mozart and Brahms. What could be better?

[ImAPurpleCrayon]

i love playing larghetto :) such a great piece

[BruceJNolan]

They should be different. It's a poignant acceleration to the top of the phrase. It's like the gypsy turns the second mvt. of the Brahms Quintet at the piu lento....all different. It's improvisation. Stanley Hasty did those things better than anyone I ever heard. It made my hair stand on end when I heard him play it the first time.

Superb. As a jazz Clrt, I'm aware that versions of a solo vary in previous or succeeding ones by the same player. That's 1 of the essences of jazz. However, I'm astounded at the different interpretations of which I was not aware in classical music. In this, the group of 3 turns, is almost a finger print or DNA of the player. My most recent student completed it but listened to everybody she could find (except me!) as we worked on the turns. Said she "They're all different!"

Perfect in every way.

[MystifiedBulb22]

I had no idea hthat turns could sond so effortless...

[BruceJNolan]

May I make a suggestion. It's vocal, operatic music..not instrumental music...it just happens to be written for the clarinet...for a personal friend, Stadler. Don't play it any differently than you would expect a world class singer to sing it;...a great tenor..Placido Domingo..not any faster, and in no way, in a wooden, instrumental fashion. Don't think rhythm. It's all about melodic line. Try singing it. It's like tasting great food. Italian food. Yum. BNolan

Thank you, this is amazing!

I am learning this and I am really struggling to not rush the demi-semi-quaver runs, I have a lot of admiration for the clarinetist; everything is perfect!

[StarWarsChick27]

This makes me want to play clarinet, and I'm a horn player!! Beautiful! I love the deep, low notes! Fantastic job!

My favourite Mozart chamber piece. Thank you for posting this beautifully played interpretation of it.

[BruceJNolan]

The other way around....he composed this first, before the concerto...but how can you steal from yourself, and who knows what on in his head.? I guess Mozart could do anything, and proved it many times.

In any case they should enforce that sort of stealing as an honorable and encouraged activity.

[JuilliardOrBust]

Obviously some of it is borrowed from Mozart's Clarinet Concerto, but I don't think it's stealing if you composed both pieces.

[ironmanboy]

Beautifully played! Thank you, Viva Mozart! 

[cjardine396]

flip me this is good :L thanks for posting. I was going to play it very differently infront of my music class :L

[arrangeur55]

Celestial nice. This piece.

[Phantomicity]

Does anybody know of a larghetto compilation or the like in existence?

[mozzrt]

This beautiful melody is so heartbreaking...It's so wonderful it's almost absurd, written by the greatest genius that ever lived...

[davlor86]

Great recording - great playing. Nolan has the tempi just right and I love his sound. Agree that this is one of the best - if not the best - recording of the quintet on Youtube. THANKS so much!

[BruceJNolan]

Thanks. Glad you like it.
