Mozart - Clarinet Concerto A Major K 622 Bk/Ola

The Mozart - Clarinet Concerto A Major K 622 Bk/Ola is a music book product that features the clarinet concerto composed by Mozart. It includes the original key of the concerto with printed parts for both A and B-flat clarinets. Additionally, there is a repitched version for B-flat clarinetists, providing easier execution and allowing them to learn the same fingerings as the composer's intended A clarinet for performance purposes.

The concerto is performed by Denitza Lavchieva on the clarinet, accompanied by the Tempi Concertati Chamber Orchestra under the conductor Nayden Todorov. Mozart's use of the clarinet in his compositions, including the Quintet KV581 and the Concerto KV622, dedicated to his friend Anton Stadler, is regarded as exquisite. These two works are considered among his most beautiful, and they were written in the final year of his life.

The Clarinet Concerto consists of three conventional movements, but the music goes beyond conventionality with its remarkable sense of repose and serenity. It is praised for its incredible warmth of tone, perfect balance, and unmatched perfection of style, as described by Bernhard Paumgartner. The concerto gained significant popularity after its inclusion in the Academy-Award-winning 1985 film "Out of Africa."

The deluxe book not only contains the music score but also provides online access to high-quality audio recordings. These audio recordings feature both demonstration and backing tracks without the soloist. By using the unique code inside each book, the audio can be streamed or downloaded.
