- Clarinet Concerto (Grade 5 - Score Only) Concert Band Level 5 Arranged by Philip Sparke
- Arrangement for clarinet and piano also available (HL44005042) Mozart wrote his clarinet concerto in 1791 for the virtuoso Anton Stadler (1753 - 1812)
- He and his brother Johann were distinguished players of the clarinet and basset horn and had known Mozart since 1784, when they participated in performances of his wind serenades
- In addition, he was responsible for many technical improvements to both the clarinet and the basset horn, adding extra keys to both instruments and extending the range of the clarinet down to written C - thereby inventing the so-called basset clarinet
- Please note: This edition of the concerto is in B flat, the soloist therefore playing the same written notes as the original, but on B flat clarinet
