Mozart’s muse: Anton Stadler and the basset clarinet

Mark Pullinger, 2nd May

If it wasn't for Anton Stadler, would Mozart have been inspired to write such great works for the clarinet, giving the instrument a new place in the spotlight?

Martin Fröst plays Mozart's Clarinet Concerto with Bavarian Radio Chamber Orchestra in Istanbul

Alain Matalon, 2nd April

Even if the joke is good, it’s all in the telling, as they say. Mozart’s Ein musikalischer Spaß (“A Musical Joke”) is good, but it probably meant more to its contemporaries than it does to us today. It is Mozart’s satire of the incompetent composers, musicians and copyists of his time. It’s an inside joke, for all practical purposes.
