WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART (1756-1791): Grande Sonate in A for Basset Clarinet and Piano (after Clarinet Quintet K. 581), Trio in E Flat for Clarinet, Viola and Piano, K. 498, Fantasy in C Minor for Piano, K. 475.

Description: The anonymous transcription of the quintet (1809) suggests that its author had something closer to Mozart's original (missing) manuscript than the published edition from 1802. The detailed notes go into all the reasons why one might be able to recreate something like Mozart's original quintet which used the basset horn while still pointing out how enjoyable this basset horn/piano version is. Performed using 18th century Prelleur temperament. Phantasia.
