Six Serenades for Clarinet Trio
The first five of these six serenades originate in the melodies found in KVA 229 (KV 439b). It is notknown when Mozart composed them, nor in what form he intended them to be played. KonstanzeMozart, writing in 1800 to the publisher J. A. André, supposed that Anton Stadler, Wolfgang’s lodgebrother, still had the autographs, but Stadler, not uncharacteristically, claimed that they had beenstolen. The sixth trio contains arrangements of three operatic arias, the first from “Don Giovanni”and the other two from “The Marriage of Figaro”and is assumed to have been written after the deathof the composer.
The first complete collection of these trios was published by Nikolaus Simrock between 1806 and1813, for two clarinets and bassoon, and since then they have appeared repeatedly for many differentinstrumental combinations. Their beguiling melodies are likely responsible for countless experiencesof 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 andorchestral compositions as well as in many chamber works. Basset horns are not often found todayin your neighborhood music shop so it is not surprising that Mozart’s works for basset horn are moreoften played on the clarinet. As the Age of Information progresses and pieces find their way to theInternet, both in playable and printable form, the rather large number of works which Mozartcomposed for the basset horn will become much better known, thereby expanding our appreciationof his true love for the versatility of this instrument. One can only ponder ruefully over themasterpieces which he never composed for jazz clarinet with its ubiquitous tone bending andglissandos. Still, with all the cloning going on, if you own a lock of the master’s hair, don’t discardit just yet. We may be able to give him a second chance!
At this writing, many works by Mozart for clarinet and basset horn can be found at

in .MUS and MIDI formats. The year 2006 will mark the quarter millennium of his birth. As hisbirthday bash of January 27 approaches, this edition and others which are in preparation will providean opportunity for musicians everywhere in small ensembles and large symphony orchestras tocelebrate his great musical gifts. To that end, the presentation of these trios has been assigned to thepublic domain. Copying is encouraged!
Happy playing all.Oliver SeelyLakewood, CaliforniaOctober 29, 2005
