Six Serenades for Clarinet Trio The first five five of these six serenades serenade s originate in the melodies found found in KVA 229 (KV 439b). It is not known when Mozart composed t hem, nor in what form he he intended them to be played. played. Konstanze Mozart, writing in 1800 to the publisher publisher J. A. André, supposed that Anton Stadler, Wolfgang’s Wolfgang’s lodge brother, still still had the autographs, but Stadler, St adler, not uncharacteristically, uncharacteristically, claimed claimed that they had been stolen. sto len. The sixth trio contains arrangements of three operatic oper atic arias, the first first from “Don Giovanni” and the other two from “The Marriage of Figaro”and is assumed to have been written after after the death deat h of the composer. The first complete collection of these trios was published by Nikolaus Simrock between 1806 and 1813, for two clarinets c larinets and bassoon, bassoo n, and since then they have appeared repeatedly repea tedly for for many different different instrumental combinations. Their beguiling beguiling melodies are likely likely responsibl respo nsiblee for countless experiences of déjà vu in the minds of listeners over the past two centuries.. It is often said that Mozart liked the basset horn; he gave it a prominent place in his operas and orchestral compositions compositions as well as in many many chamber chamber works. Basset horns are not o ften found found today in your your neighborhood music shop so it is not surprising surprising that Mozart’s Mozart ’s works for basset horn are more often played on the clarinet. As the Age Age of Information Information progresses pro gresses and pieces find find their way to the t he Internet, both in playable and printable form, the rather large number of works which Mozart composed for t he basset horn will will become much better known, thereby expanding expanding our appreciation appreciation of his true love for for the versatility of this instrument. One can only only ponder ponde r ruefully ruefully over ove r the th e masterpieces which he never composed for jazz clarinet with its ubiquitous tone bending and glissandos. Still, with with all the cloning going on, if you own a lock of o f the master master’s ’s hair, don’t discard it just yet. We may be able to give him him a second seco nd chance! At this writing, many works by Mozart for clarinet and basset horn can be found at http://www.csudh.edu/oliver/clarmusi/clarmusi.htm in .MUS and MIDI formats. formats. The year 2006 will will mark t he quar qu arter ter millenni millennium um of his birth. As his his birthday bash of January January 27 approaches, this this edition edition and others which which are in in preparation will will provide an opportunity for musicians everywhere in small ensembles and large symphony orchestras to celebrate his his great musical musical gifts. gifts. To that end, the presentation of these trios has been assigne assigned d to the public public domain. domain. Copying Copying is encouraged! Happy playing playing all.
