Is it supposed to be played on a bassett?

I'm playing it on my Bb Clarinet.

[leSeide]

Yes, the concerto was originally written for an A bassett clarinet.

It is perfectly ok to play it on a Bb clarinet, however if accompanied by an orchestra, Playing it on a normal A clarinet would be necessary.

David Shifrin has always been my inspiration. His tone is just so round and full and beautiful! I just want to be able to sound like him someday <3

[leSeide]

Shifrin's interpretation of the Mozart on bassett clarinet has always been one of my favorites. I put his version up to share it with the world. Glad you like it.  Thanks for your comment.

Why do people not have respect for beautiful music anymore?

[MaryRayeofSunshineee]

I'm taking this solo. :)

I know this may be blasphemous, but I prefer the flute conertos in G and D (they're catchier), the oboe concerto in C, and the flute and harp concerto in C (2nd movement of which gives the clarinet adagio a run for its money. This is still my fourth favorite classical wind concerto, though.

every time i watch this particular video i think of him playing this with the b-flat clarinet actually in his elbow

weird...

[stormyalyssa]

Wow. Just wow... I'm playing the third movement of the concerto as my solo this year... And I'm pretty much picking my solo for next year that I'll also use to audition at colleges... And after listening to this, I think I've found it. Love love love this :)

[LOTRzagorath]

@leSeide I disagree. If it's difficult or unrealistic (especially price-wise) for one to obtain an A clarinet, then it's not too hard to transpose the orchestral part up a semitone.

I did this just so I could play along to it in my score-writing software (just the second movement, so far), even though I'll probably never play it with a real orchestra.

Really wonderful !!!

[girolle01]

@traineemusician Ha. I just realized that its name doesn't include 'R13"...

[traineemusician]

@girolle01 Does the R13 Tosca exist?

[girolle01]

Met him last semester! He plays on an R13 Tosca [right now].  I prefer my Prestige...

@kowerski14 mozart is truly amazing, so you must not know what real and classical music is.
