Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Clarinet Concerto A major K. 622
The most beautiful and significant clarinet concerto in the history of music is now appearing in a Henle urtext edition. The piano reduction is accompanied by two separate parts: an urtext edition of the original clarinet part as found in the early prints, and a reconstruction for basset clarinet, the instrument for which the work was originally written. The editor, Henrik Wiese, provides a preface and commentary with an in-depth discussion of the work’s unusual source materials. Mozart’s concerto has become the indispensable audition piece. As a special bonus, this edition also includes the text of the autograph fragment for basset horn in G.

About the Composer

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Mozart is one of the few composers to have produced masterpieces in all genres. On the concert tours he undertook in his early years (London, Mannheim, Italy, Paris) he gained many varied musical impressions that he assimilated in his youth and which formed the prerequisite for his later consummate musical language.

The G Henle Verlag urtext of the Mozart concerto is, as one would expect, a beautiful, meticulous edition with a high standard of scholarship. ... There is also a history of the work, an incomplete original manuscript for basset clarinet and a facsimile of a review dated 1802. ... you are given the oversize page and the Henle typeface, which is so easy on the eye.
Music Teacher, 2004Bei Henle hingegen wird nicht gegeizt: Hier bereichert ein informatives dreisprachiges Vorwort mit Auflistung aller Quellen und Erläurterungen zur Rekonstruktion der Bassettklarinettenstimme den mit Fussnoten ergänzten Klavierauszug und die beiden Einzelstimmen. Letztere sind im Layout absolut identisch gehalten (gleiche Zeilenanzahl pro Seite, gleiche Taktanzahl pro Zeile), was vergleichendes Arbeiten wesentlich erleichtert. Seitenumbrüche erfolgen ausschliesslich nach längeren Pausen, und Tuttipassagen heben sich in ihrer Stichgrösse vom Soloinstrument ab. Das Notenbild ist insgesamt sehr großzügig angelegt und angenehm zu lesen.
Schweizer Musikzeitung, 2004Verdienstvoll, dass jetzt Henle mit einer Urtext-Edition nachzieht, für den kundigen Interpreten ein fundiertes Quellenmaterial mit umfangreichem Text, zwei Solostimmen (für die lange und für die kurze Klarinette) und einem Klavierauszug in neuer, großzügiger Gestaltung.
