Product Description
A clarinet classic, Mozart's Clarinet Quintet in A Major, K.581 is surely in most clarinetists' repertories. This arrangement of the work for Clarinet Choir is designed to be as close of a transcription to the orchestral version as possible. No cuts or abbreviations have been made, but for the convenience of the player, the piece has been transposed into concert B-flat.
Included here are all 4 movements, Mvt. 1, Allegro, Mvt. 2, Larghetto, Mvt. 3, Menuetto, and Mvt. 4, Allegretto con variazioni from the quintet. It's scored for Solo Clarinet with Clarinet Choir accompainment, with parts including:
- Solo Clarinet in Bb
- Clarinet in Eb (Optional, but recommended)
- Clarinet in Bb 1
- Clarinet in Bb 2
- Clarinet in Bb 3
- Clarinet in Bb 4
- Alto Clarinet (Optional)
- Bass Clarinet
- Contrabass Clarinet (Optional)
The Solo B-flat Clarinet part is designed to be fully compatible with the soloists preferred edition of the concerto. Articulation used is fully open to the interpretation of the soloist. The provided solo part is meant as a guide.
The E-flat Soprano Clarinet part is not required, but highly recommended. In general, the E-flat Alto Clarinet part is similar to the B-flat Clarinet 3 part, and the B-flat Bass Clarinet and B-flat Contrabass Clarinet parts are similar to the B-flat Clarinet 4 part. Therefore, the E-flat Alto Clarinet, B-flat Bass Clarinet, and B-flat Contrabass Clarinet parts are optional.
