I am 39 and "holding". I have listened to this hundreds of times throughout my lifetime. (BTW, I also listen to the Stones and Hendrix, among others...) At one point over a three year stretch, I would play this (along with Weber's two clarinet concertos) almost daily. My point is this: Even tho I can "play" this in my head from start to finish, every time I now listen here on UA-cam when I have time, I hear something new. It is always new and fresh for me. This is my favorite Mozart piece. The man was a musical genius.
HAHA exact same with that including playing those 3 concertos on repeat daily. im 14, i love this concerto with my heart and soul and im playing 3rd mvt in a competition soon!
Today was the burial of my beloved grandfather. He was first clarinetist in his orchestra during his carrer and this was his best piece. RIP lieber Opa!
Superbe concerto de Mozart et en particulier le deuxième mouvement qui m'a toujours troublé. Je reviens de Vienne où j'ai pu visiter le premier étage de la maison occupée par Mozart, situé derrière la cathédrale . Grand homme de la musique, unique, Merci à vous Monsieur Mozart.
The clarinet is so versitile. There is so much you can do with it; so many sounds, and more notes than any woodwin. I believe. It's soooooo gorgeous in this piece that it could put tears in your eyes. This scenic picture is also very beautiful. Mozart was a Master composer; a genius; a GOD! Outstanding performance...
You should try the oboe. Since you played sax, you already know most of the notes. On the other hand, the high pressure is probably not good for you, and there is significant danger from the sharp knives used to make the reeds.
it´s true !! Gods music.. Mozart died only a few months later, all the sadness of his soul is in this piece, and also a bit of hope ... I believe that God took him together with him to elevate it to the divine ... our world was too coarse for a being like Mozart! There was no one like him before, not after ..!
The clarinet is very beautiful, it’s been my favorite instrument since I was in elementary school. I without a doubt fell in love with the clarinet’s sound when I was younger. The clarinet is still my favorite instrument to this day
@@datetley this is also a great piece, but my favourite after all is Mozart's Symphony 41 in C major,K.551 'Jupiter', 4th movement But again, this Concerto is also one of my favourites
I dont mean to be off topic but does someone know a trick to log back into an instagram account?? I was dumb lost my login password. I would love any tricks you can give me.
I played clarinet and it NEVER sounded this beautiful. I don't know how they get this beautiful sound like my teacher did. Just lovely... I remember my piano teacher was playing in a concert, and she was supposed to be the main attraction for all of us who came to watch her. We all went together: two cars loaded. Anyway, there were three different performances: MY former teacher on piano, then a man playing cello, and this woman (Asian, not that it matters, but just pointing it out) playing clarinet. There was an orchestra, but each instrument played concertos. Well.The clarinet was the most outstanding performance of them ALL. She was amazing -- PHENOMENAL!!! She stole the show, and received the biggest applause, and became the MAIN ATTRACTION. I was SHOCKED that someone performed better than my teacher. lol lol I'll never forget how beautifully she played the clarinet. WOW!!!
OMG!!! The second movement is my absolute FAVORITE part for the clarinet!!! Absolutely STUNNING! She also played this concerto, and I remember getting chills it was so fabulous. This is sooooo beautiful, that when I first heard this concerto on one of my CDs, I didn't even recognize it as the clarinet. LOL I thought it was an oboe. lol lol 'Never knew the clarinet could sound this GORGEOUS!!! I started playing it when I was 9 and it seemed to have had soooooo many notes for just a medium-sized instrument. lol lol The treble almost sounds like a flute. It sings like a beautiful bird...
This, and Benny Goodman's nuanced interpretation and execution of it, shed the light of living in my youth in Pretoria, where a scientific friend called Keet, made a worthy attempt to emulate Bennie with piano accompaniment---most memorable. We thought Wolfgang had said his eloquent farewell to life and Constanza in this heart rending music rather than in the Requiem.
He made me appreciate Oboe and Clarinet so much. I feel like we were robbed when he died at 35.. all his music are golden, imagine what he could have written at age 50 or 60...
una meraviglia di 3 movimenti ! l'Adagio è un miracolo di bellezza , l'allegro iniziale è soavemente elegante e il Finale ci innalza in un mondo di luce altrimenti irraggiungibile
221 years later and the music that was written in the 18th century still reachs the depths of our souls. This proves that the human feeling towards arts do not change over time and makes me wonder on how far will the legacy of such men such as Mozart will extend.
Is this a pic of Switzerland? It's just a beautiful scene, and is very apropos for this lovely concerto. THANK YOU for posting this video. As you can see from my numerous comments, I enjoyed it immensely. Bravo!
It is a pic of Austria (Europe), the town is Hallstatt, in the background the Dachstein- Mountain. It's situated in the Salzkammergut, a very picturess area.
This concert is a piece of the soundtrack of Vie d'adèle Blue is the warmest Colour (vernissage a Roubaix) which was not mentioned in the titles of the film. Would you believe it? Albeit Mozart is one of my favorite authors it was in my head for weeks, night and day until I identified as what it is... The filmmakers should be more accurate in accounting the credits...
Definitivamente la música no tiene fronteras, es realmente este concierto, gracias por compartirlo. Es realmente muy bello y hermoso. Saludos desde Guatemala.
Mozart's music is the JOY of our life. Benny Goodman was famous for a long time as the most respected interpretation of this piece of music. Hard to believe--Benny Goodman of the jazz era!
Because of K 622, clarinet is the most beautiful woodwinds instruments. My passion for Mozart's remains, I fell in love with this piece in Janurary 2011 and I found a quiet place for my ears too.
In answer, yes, there is always a definite stop between movements. It serves to indicate a change in tempo and theme (and it gives the musicians a brief rest)! Here the first movement ends at 11.57 and the second begins at 12.08. The second movement, an adagio, is very famous. Listen to the clarinet solo throughout the second: amazingly beautiful, esp. 13.20. The third movement begins at 19.43. If you listen carefully you will hear themes from the first repeated in variation during the third, unifying themes.
“No story lives unless someone wants to know it…!” (…) Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto in A Major K. 622 was completed in October 1791 for the clarinettist Anton Stadler. It consists of three movements: I. Allegro (in A major and in sonata form), II. Adagio (in D major and in ternary form) and III. Rondo: Allegro (in A major and in rondo form). The work was completed a few weeks before the composer's death. It was to be his last completed work, and has been described as his swan-song. The date of its first performance is not certain, but may have been 16 October 1791 in Prague. The concerto was written to be played on the basset clarinet, which can play lower notes than an ordinary clarinet, but after the death of Mozart it was published with changes to the solo part to allow performance on conventional instruments. The manuscript score is lost, but from the latter part of the 20th century onwards many performances of the work have been given on basset clarinets in conjectural reconstructions of Mozart's original. Anton Stadler, a close friend of Mozart, was a virtuoso clarinettist and co-inventor of the basset clarinet, an instrument with an extended range of lower notes. It went down to low (written) C, instead of stopping at (written) E as standard clarinets do. Stadler was also an expert player of the basset horn. Mozart first composed music for that instrument as early as 1783, and for the basset clarinet in 1787. In early October 1791 Mozart wrote to his wife from Prague that he had completed "Stadler's rondo" - the third movement of the Clarinet Concerto. The concerto was the final major work Mozart completed. There is no surviving autograph for the concerto, and the printed score was published posthumously. The only relic of the work written in Mozart's hand is an excerpt of an earlier rendition written for basset horn in G (K. 584b/621b). This excerpt, dating from late 1789, is nearly identical to the corresponding section in the published version for A clarinet, although only the melody lines are completely filled out. After rethinking the work as a basset clarinet concerto, Mozart gave the completed manuscript to Stadler in October 1791. The date of the first performance is not known for certain, but was probably on 16 October 1791 in Prague. Stadler gave a concert there on that day, but no programme survives. Several notes throughout the piece go beyond the conventional range of the A clarinet, but the basset clarinet was a rare, custom-made instrument, and when the piece was published after Mozart's death, a new version was made by unknown arrangers, with the low notes transposed to regular range. Mozart's widow told a publisher that Stadler had either lost it, pawned it or had it stolen from him. The basset clarinet fell out of use after Stadler's death and no original instruments from his time have survived. The instrument was revived in the latter part of the 20th century: attempts were made to replicate the original version, and new basset clarinets have been built for the specific purpose of performing Mozart's concerto and clarinet quintet. Some have been based on 1790s engravings showing Stadler's instrument. -Wikipedia The bass clarinet for which this concerto was composed was not widespread; has been disappearing, like the bass horn. If the concerto is actually played on the bass clarinet, with a lower register than the clarinet, it produces a very different effect with its “uncut” intervals, it is more serious and solemn, less pleasant and, however, more transparent. Apart from this, it becomes a definitive statement by Mozart: “…here I show you once again - the last time - what the concerto for a wind instrument should be at all: singable, without virtuosic morondanga, precise, although never too dense …” -Wolfgang Hildesheimer (1977).

Had the wonderful experience hearing this and Beethoven's Symphony #6 preformed by the Detroit Symphony at Orchestra Hall,maybe the best concert I've ever been to. For all it's problems,Detroit does still have some remarkable things going for it.
Mi domando:qual è la gamma di variazioni di suoni in un usignolo?In una cicala,in grillo.Ma noi cosa abbiamo in più?E sentiamo queste delizie di melodie che toccano le radici del cielo e vanno oltre ogni misura di concetto stabilito.Secondo me l'infinita variazione di suoni,di parole,di colori che sono in noi umani è la prova che siamo ordinati a chiederci dove è Dio?Fuori o dentro di noi?Mozart sembra dire :ma non lo sentite che io sono in lui e lui è i n me?E' così.
+Richard Boudville I tend to hate the term of genius. A Genius is someone that invents something entirely major and avant-garde. Beethoven was a true genius as he even did some jazz tracks before even jazz existed. He truly revolutionised music. Mozart was good dont get me wrong. He composed beautiful themes but in no way were they avant-garde. His music was very very classical and fit in well for the trends at the time. That might be what caused his succes. Haydn did not have a style all that different of Mozarts. But where mozart truly shines more than anyone else probably ever did, it was in the way he had to create beautiful and yet extremely simple melodies. They were easy to remember and quite relaxing for the time because following the baroque period, at the time, shit went all over the place. It was very very complex music (to play as well... I hate Bach solely due to the fact that his piano pieces are annoying as hell to play). Mozart felt likie a breath of fresh air as he and many other composers for the time took the ideas of the baroque period to synthetise them and keep only what was solely essential for the music. And Mozart was truly awesome at doing that.
Oh brother. Yea, Mozart invented the Jazz tracks before Beethoven did. Look it up. Mozart's symphony #40 is considered to have ideas not found again until the 1900s. Yes Mozart was a genius. So many people are in such awe of Beethoven, they forget who HE admired, and studied his whole life. Wolfie baby!
necroplastful You are tailoring the definition of genius to suit your personal opinion. Genius is "just" an individual with exceptional intellectual or creative power or other natural ability. Revolution does not equate genius, nor does avant-garde. Also, Beethoven and Mozart had no jazz tracks whatsoever.
The 2nd movement of Clarinet Concerto is my favorite because it makes me think of seeing my friends again after I graduated from UNI. Mozart, you legend! :D
I'm playing a section of the first movement for the solo and ensemble contest at my school, and this makes me super excited If only I could make it sound as good as this
Dein lieber Opa hatte so recht mit diesem Meisterwerk. Mein Daddy hatte sich an seinem letzten Geburtstag nach dem Vortrag des langsamen Satzes gewünscht: "den spielst Du mir mal, wenn es so weit ist". Ein Jahr später stand ich mit der Klarinette neben seinem Sarg und spielte das Adagio für ihn... Sei nicht traurig, die Erinnerung an seine schönen Klarinettentöne soll Dich stärken... Ganz liebe Grüße aus München. Ernst
This is a perfect example of untouchable music. You can not change it. The clarinet version in Bb changes too many notes. Mozart wrote for a basset clarinet, which features 4 additional bass notes, idea of his friend Anton Stadler. The soloist is excellent and deserves to play the instrument for which Mozart wrote, as does Martin Fröst, Sharon Kam, Julian Bliss and many others. Basset clarinets are currently being built to play this concert and the Mozart quintet. He left no chance for changes. His music has unbeliaveble excellence.
I don't see any mention of the fact here, but the beautiful Adagio was used - in its entirety - in the film Out Of Africa. The music and the stunning scenes have no dialogue, a combination that needs no words. Robert Redford is flying his beloved (played by Meryl Streep) in an old open airplane, showing her his haunts. Magic!
Reference recording... I think it is Leister, Karajan and the Berliner. Though Karajan is not my favorite director, nor Leister my favorite clarinetist, here there is a magic ensamble between soloist and orchestra. Something which is strangly rare to hear in other recordings
Gracias, soy de acuario y despues de unos siglos, nacido dias despues de El . Amo Amadeus tus adagios, y andantes .Bueno toda tu obra.... canto bastante bien tus obras y tambien he tocado parte de tu obra liturgica trascripta para Organo .Gracias Am4usMOzart por tu aporte valioso,a los acuarianos no nos gusta que nos adulen y este concierto es de lo que EL ...hubiera querido ....despues de todo la musica y la tegnologia son numeros traducidos.....
I have no idea what some of you are saying but seems pretentious and showing off. As for me, my ear tells me how beautiful it is and what it evokes for me. Who care what key, the orchestra knows and that's all that matters as did the man himself. Very grateful he existed..... we are all better off for it.. Now close your eyes and listen
I often wonder what the likes of Mozart, Beethoven, Haydyn etc. would think if they could hear their music being performed on the internet, cds etc. In all sincerity, would it frighten them, would they think that some that some form of devil worship was at work? Most importantly, would they appreciate the performers interpretation of their music, or would they wan to rip them from limb to limb? Julie.
I can play the second movement all day long, from12:06 to 19:42 like Meryl Streep did in the movie, " Out of Africa". Such a BEAUTIFULLY soothing music ! George Wu, A.I.A. 2014-1-22
What if God gives all of us this same ability, yet we choose to keep it from the light? Perhaps He then sends a Mozart, a Lincoln, an Einstein, a Gandhi, to remind us that gifts are to be shared.

Today was the burial of my beloved grandfather. He was first clarinetist in his orchestra during his carrer and this was his best piece. RIP lieber Opa!
I am 39 and "holding". I have listened to this hundreds of times throughout my lifetime. (BTW, I also listen to the Stones and Hendrix, among others...) At one point over a three year stretch, I would play this (along with Weber's two clarinet concertos) almost daily.

This is my favorite Mozart piece. The man was a musical genius.
same thing with the last twosymphonies :o
Mozart could go from so playful to doing things like the second movement here that just leave me speechless and at the point of tears really.
HAHA exact same with that including playing those 3 concertos on repeat daily. im 14, i love this concerto with my heart and soul and im playing 3rd mvt in a competition soon!
Music doesn't get much better than this.. pretty much perfection.
yes absolutely
thats mozart for ya

Grazie!!
The clarinet is so versitile. There is so much you can do with it; so many sounds, and more notes than any woodwin. I believe. It's soooooo gorgeous in this piece that it could put tears in your eyes. This scenic picture is also very beautiful. Mozart was a Master composer; a genius; a GOD!
Outstanding performance...
Played the saxophone but was always envious of that clarinet sound! So wooden and versatile...my favourite instrument ever
You should try the oboe. Since you played sax, you already know most of the notes. On the other hand, the high pressure is probably not good for you, and there is significant danger from the sharp knives used to make the reeds.
What can one say? Mozart was the greatest composer who ever lived and this is a beautiful example of that fact.
@Gerry R hi
It's so beautifull, it makes me happy.
zactly!! This is one of the most "transcendent" pieces of music that Mozart ever wrote!!
it´s true !! Gods music.. Mozart died only a few months later, all the sadness of his soul is in this piece, and also a bit of hope ... I believe that God took him together with him to
elevate it to the divine ... our world was too coarse for a being like Mozart!
There was no one like him before, not after ..!
The clarinet is very beautiful, it’s been my favorite instrument since I was in elementary school. I without a doubt fell in love with the clarinet’s sound when I was younger. The clarinet is still my favorite instrument to this day
I love so much this one, it's simply beautiful!
La musica giusta per incominciare una giornata. Grazie sig Mozart.
The Adagio is the best piece of Mozart! There are so many emotional things! BEAUTIFUL!
I'm a horn player but in my opinion this is the best concerto from Mozart.
This piece was voted number one most popular classical music selection by citizens of the UK
You are not alone in this
@@datetley this is also a great piece, but my favourite after all is Mozart's Symphony 41 in C major,K.551 'Jupiter', 4th movement
But again, this Concerto is also one of my favourites
I’m getting more and more into classical music. Loving every second. So far my favorite mozart concerto is K581.

Super lindo Mozart , gracias por tu música porque siempre me acompaña en el trabajo.
one of my favourite classical music pieces!
in questa musica provo gioia piena, mi pare di levare un canto al cielo.Grande Mozart grazie
Had the wonderful experience hearing this and Beethoven's Symphony #6 preformed by the Detroit Symphony at Orchestra Hall,maybe the best concert I've ever been to. For all it's problems,Detroit does still have some remarkable things going for it.

Genius Mozart. No erasures or corrections on his composition scores. Perfectionist!
+Richard Boudville I tend to hate the term of genius. A Genius is someone that invents something entirely major and avant-garde. Beethoven was a true genius as he even did some jazz tracks before even jazz existed. He truly revolutionised music. Mozart was good dont get me wrong.

And Mozart was truly awesome at doing that.
Oh brother. Yea, Mozart invented the Jazz tracks before Beethoven did. Look it up. Mozart's symphony #40 is considered to have ideas not found again until the 1900s. Yes Mozart was a genius. So many people are in such awe of Beethoven, they forget who HE admired, and studied his whole life. Wolfie baby!

You are tailoring the definition of genius to suit your personal opinion. Genius is "just" an individual with exceptional intellectual or creative power or other natural ability. Revolution does not equate genius, nor does avant-garde.
Also, Beethoven and Mozart had no jazz tracks whatsoever.
Thank you for the upload, kind sir.
This is played at my funeral. Not any more. No speeches, no hymns, no nothing. Only this.
Mozart foi um compositor que palavras por mais bonitas que sejam não alcançam descrever seu trabalho- são músicas divinas!
music of heavens!! no one but mozart is capable of creating such music.....
12:07 is sublime...
So beautiful :' i shed tears when i heard this haha
I have no words. Just Amazing
One of my favorites - half an hour of auditory bliss.
The 2nd movement of Clarinet Concerto is my favorite because it makes me think of seeing my friends again after I graduated from UNI. Mozart, you legend! :D
This is so beautiful and chat
...that makes my lips hurt....so beautiful.
very nice as well as peaceful
I'm playing a section of the first movement for the solo and ensemble contest at my school, and this makes me super excited
If only I could make it sound as good as this
So beautiful! Thank you very much.
Simply a wonderful track by a VERY VERY INTELLIGENT MAN AND COMPOSER
Както винаги гениално!Моцарт е музикант-гений!Прекрасен концерт,носещ много позитивизъм и хубаво настроение!
How, beautiful....
아름다운 연주곡 잘 들었읍니다~감사합니다~🎵🎻🌿🍀☘🌹🌹☘🍀🌿❤❤
Dein lieber Opa hatte so recht mit diesem Meisterwerk. Mein Daddy hatte sich an seinem letzten Geburtstag nach dem Vortrag des langsamen Satzes gewünscht: "den spielst Du mir mal, wenn es so weit ist". Ein Jahr später stand ich mit der Klarinette neben seinem Sarg und spielte das Adagio für ihn...
Sei nicht traurig, die Erinnerung an seine schönen Klarinettentöne soll Dich stärken...
Ganz liebe Grüße aus München. Ernst
Podría ser Karl Leister (clarinet), Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, Neville Marriner
Quelle émotion se dégage de l'andante ! Je souhaite aussi que l'on joue ce concerto (au moins l'andante) pour mes obsèques.
This is beautiful...I know so little about classical music, but I am trying to learn.
This is a perfect example of untouchable music. You can not change it. The clarinet version in Bb changes too many notes. Mozart wrote for a basset clarinet, which features 4 additional bass notes, idea of his friend Anton Stadler. The soloist is excellent and deserves to play the instrument for which Mozart wrote, as does Martin Fröst, Sharon Kam, Julian Bliss and many others. Basset clarinets are currently being built to play this concert and the Mozart quintet. He left no chance for changes. His music has unbeliaveble excellence.
I don't see any mention of the fact here, but the beautiful Adagio was used - in its entirety - in the film Out Of Africa. The music and the stunning scenes have no dialogue, a combination that needs no words. Robert Redford is flying his beloved (played by Meryl Streep) in an old open airplane, showing her his haunts. Magic!
If there is a heaven, could it be as wonderful as listening to Mozart.
18:06~08:21 so touching part. what i can do is just listening and being deeply impressed
0:08 Space 🚀
4:35-5:30... Simply Amazing!!! Gives me Goose Bumps everytime!!!
Reference recording... I think it is Leister, Karajan and the Berliner. Though Karajan is not my favorite director, nor Leister my favorite clarinetist, here there is a magic ensamble between soloist and orchestra. Something which is strangly rare to hear in other recordings
On peut l' écouter 100 fois, c' est toujours la première fois.
simply elegant and cool one
Gracias, soy de acuario y despues de unos siglos, nacido dias despues de El . Amo Amadeus tus adagios, y andantes .Bueno toda tu obra.... canto bastante bien tus obras y tambien he tocado parte de tu obra liturgica trascripta para Organo .Gracias Am4usMOzart por tu aporte valioso,a los acuarianos no nos gusta que nos adulen y este concierto es de lo que EL ...hubiera querido ....despues de todo la musica y la tegnologia son numeros traducidos.....
di grandi musicisti ce ne sono tanti, di mozart ce n'è uno solo.
there exist many great composers, mozart is unique.
I love playing this, and now that I have an A clarinet I can play it with an orchestra
A superb concert for clarinet...great!!!
I played this song on my clarinet as a sophomore, was not expecting this to have over a million views :o
This is performance of Karl Leister - german clarinetist. This was recorded at 2011
I have no idea what some of you are saying but seems pretentious and showing off. As for me, my ear tells me how beautiful it is and what it evokes for me. Who care what key, the orchestra knows and that's all that matters as did the man himself. Very grateful he existed..... we are all better off for it.. Now close your eyes and listen

I often wonder what the likes of Mozart, Beethoven, Haydyn etc. would think if they could hear their music being performed on the internet, cds etc. In all sincerity, would it frighten them, would they think that some that some form of devil worship was at work? Most importantly, would they appreciate the performers interpretation of their music, or would they wan to rip them from limb to limb? Julie.
+Julie Gill , I suppose they would be quite surprised to see that their music became eternal ...
I wonder what they'd think if they knew how big, historical, iconic and omnipresent they are in the 21st century..
They will be impressed even more with astonishment. I can imagine a dropped jaw.
SAD; IF YOU CONSIDER HOW POOR SOME ARTIST WERE: VIVALDI DIED broke as in vienna
imagine mozart coming back to life in 2018, would he survive Bieber and Minaj ?
Il Divino Mozart!😍Adoro questo concerto! Anche perché io suono il clarinetto ed è uno strumento bellissimo!❤
I can play the second movement all day long, from12:06 to 19:42 like Meryl Streep did in the movie, " Out of Africa". Such a BEAUTIFULLY soothing music ! George Wu, A.I.A. 2014-1-22
My favourite piece of music. Mozart really knew how to compose.
Mozart. E o mundo sem sua música seria ainda mais difícil.
Thank you Wolfgang
This is the longest concerto I ever listened to. By the way, the clarinet is my favorite instrument.
This was only your second concert ? Keep it up ! You'll be surprised what treasurers you will still find !
Thanks for telling me! It's beautiful.
Thanks for posting!
What if God gives all of us this same ability, yet we choose to keep it from the light? Perhaps He then sends a Mozart, a Lincoln, an Einstein, a Gandhi, to remind us that gifts are to be shared.
@Carl Rachel hi
@@nameless5053 Hi back at you 41M. I'm praying you know the signicance of "41." It is your assurance that your Guardian Angel is with you, working beside you to help you achieve that on which your sights are set. Stay well, 41M. You are "on your way" in a very good way.
Beautiful, as usual.
Today was the burial of my beloved grandfather. He was first clarinetist in his orchestra during his carrer and this was his best piece. RIP lieber Opa!
A mi entender es uno de los más brillantes conciertos de Mozart ; muy disfrutable.
