IIRC The fragment that we have of the original score for basset horn is for the beginning of the first movement, not the third movement.
I had one of the basset horns in it was created for the Strauss opera called😮 Electra. Apparently there were three Basset horns made for that performance of the piece, two of them were destroyed during World War Two. They were pitched so their “C” would sound as “F”.
Parts. Spares
Do you think Mozart wrote his music for the same person to high range and low range? Seems like it would be a good idea to have two bassets playing these ranges. A nice video. Thanks.
In the 18th C Mozart’s clarinets and basset horn designed by Anton Stsdler were designed for playing more expressively his concerto and quintet in the authentic style at that time. Most performances these days go for virtuosic speed , not as Mozart intended.
Unfortunate that I cannot here his words. But the clarinets sounds nice!
My god. That is awesome!!
Wow!! Amazing!
do the basset clarinet and basset horn use right-hand thumb keys for the last 3 low notes?
How can the basset clarinet go down to written low C? I see only 2 additional keys in the right pinky, presumably low Eb and low D. Where are low C# and low C?
other extended range clarinets use 3 chromatic thumb keys. couldn't tell [he didn't show it] if his bassets had those.
yet you never showed the clarinet in full, that was really annoying. I wanted to see it.
You said that "Clementzia" was Mozart's last opera? I thought his last opera was "Magic Flute"?
La Clemenza di Tito is indeed his last opera. September 6, 1791 was its premiere date.
קלרינט.. כלי נהדר.. תודה על ההדגמה. מתגעגעת לקלרינט שלי.
nice!! The more I practice the clarinet, the more I like it! 9 months old beginner here!! :D
I love the sound of the basset. I wish I could make the Mozart concerto sound as effortless as you do.
I used to play the clarinet like that.
Its the Basset Horn.
Can’t beat the low sound of my Bass Clarinet 😉
What about my contra-alto clarinet though? 👀
@@grima5788 I play contra alto clarinet too!
@@grima5788 well what about my contrabass clarinet?
This video, while well intentioned, is completely misleading. There is no surviving manuscript in Mozart's hand of the so called clarinet in A. You reference that "this is the clarinet wrote is concerto for" is pure speculation. The clarinet of Mozart's day only had a handful of key, for starters. What you are playing is a MODERN clarinet with an additional four semitones.
A basset clarinet is like a Low C Soprano Clarinet pretty much.
They're more useful than the sopranos then
That's exactly what they are.
It's a C bass chalumeau with a developed upper register
Okay, so I'm watching this video, and I didn't pay attention to your name at the beginning. As I watched it, I was like, "Hey, I know that guy!" Then I backed up and saw your name again. You were in grad school at Florida State my first year there as an undergrad, and you coached the undergrad clarinet quartet that I was in. All I remember is that you wore a funny hat and maybe something like a dashiki. :)
The A clarinet is much nicer. These extra notes on the basset clarinet makes for overall nasty hoarse sounding clarinet.
Try playing outside your current box. Get a scales chart (or better yet a Win10/Ios app) and play the oddest scales first. Then you will see you cannot hit the right notes in the bass register!
If I would be able to get a Basset A Clarinet, I would be more than happy to. It's exceptionally useful when you need to play specific music such as Mozart's Concerto and Stravinsky's L'histoire du Soldat, with the possibility to go down to the required low notes. And also, for me it's always cool to have a Clarinet that could reach down to the bottom C.
como faço para ter uma dessa no brasil
vende seu rim no mercado negro que vc vai conseguir o dinheiro de comprar uma dessa :D da certo sim pode confiar :D
whats is he song of the intruduccion
Part of the Mozart clarinet concerto I believe.
+Steven Shockley thanks
yeah it is the part in measures 134-154. A bit of a pain to learn under pressure, but is fun as hell to play a few years later now that its all in muscle memory so the feeling REALLY opens up
I play b flat clarinet and I'm in 7th grade. I love the sound of it but the basset clarinet is beautiful
me too.
And now you’re graduated
Hello, I have a Leblanc Basset Clarinet and I have been looking to get a fingering chat for this instruments. Any suggestions. I would really appreciate some help. Thank you.
+Carlos Blanco Suggestion: try the fingerings yourself. See what keys progressively lengthen the closed tube.
Anton Stadler used basset clarinets that went to low written B, rather than C. There are several passages in Mozart's clarinet concerto where the original went to low B. I've also spotted at least one passage in the quintet where the clarinet probably went to low B as well. As far as I know, the only one to make basset clarinets to low B is Stephen Fox.
Not true
Mike Miller Try looking up clarinet maker Stephen Fox. His case is laid out better than I can make it here.
What's in the autograph copy?
Turbo Bitch I assume that you mean, the original penned by Mozart? That's been long lost. Probably it was in the hands of Anton Stadler, who palmed it at some point for money. The only versions available from the time were revised for conventional A clarinet (down to low E).
Turbo Bitch: This is mere speculation, but I have the idea that Mozart's original manuscript (for Stadler) was at one time in some archive or perhaps someone's house. Then came WWII in particular, in which Europe had the daylights bombed out. The manuscript might have been destroyed then.
Is the basset clarinet and basset horn the same instrument?
+Karolina Stasiowska The Basset Horn is tuned in F. I think...
+Karolina Stasiowska i play the bass clarinet and i started out as a b flat clasinet so it is alright if you dont know.
+DTTV ha I play contralto clarinet bet that :)
No they are not the same
Is a basset horn in f lower than a bass clarinet in c
No
+awsometaco0611 Basset horn is pitched a whole tone higher than the Eb alto clarinet. But it goes a half-tone lower in absolute pitch because the basset horn goes to low C, while alto clarinet goes to low Eb.
Fffffffffff??!!?!?!??
If I could have any A Clarinet, it would be the basset clarinet!!
What's the difference between a basset horn and an alto clarinet in E flat?
the alto clarinet sounds a whole steo lower than the basset horn liket he B flat clarinet and the clarinet in C
No, it's essentially a regualr clarinet with an extended lower range. An Alto Clarinet, is physically a larger clarinet roughly a half an octave lower. This means playing a C on a "regular" clarinet would be a located a G a half an octave higher on the alto clarinet.
LizardLvr981 one a basset horn ones an alto clarinet in E flat
@@binyaminadler-berke812 basset horns are physically larger than the soprano clarinet in B♭ and they are pitched in F
@@ChopinSandwich good call. Yes, the basset horn is essentially an alto clarinet in F with an extended range down to the C an octave below middle C in writing. These are funny instruments for when there were less options for playing chromatically. However it's nice to have the option to make the key signatures easier.
Is it an extension that one has to buy separate or does one get the whole instrument including the basset attachment?
I thought that it was a separate part.that you could get. Thanks, *****
you can order it seperately to fit your clarinet :)
Is there more resistance in the A basset clarinet than in the A clarinet?
Some quick links for sound comparison: Bb: 0:49 A: 1:05 A basset: 0:05 2:33 2:46 Basset horn: 4:48 5:37
i guess this is the clarinet Squidward plays
the bassest one
DolphinLegend 6444 lol
Re: the "fancy" basset horn...yes, all basset horns are keyed to low C. That is the purpose of the "basset" moniker. If it weren't keyed to low C, it would just be an alto clarinet in F. (And there HAVE been low Eb bassets made, but very very few. I've only ever seen or heard of 2, and they both had low C extensions added, because basset horn repertoire requires those notes, as they are the entire raison d'etre for the instrument in the first place.)
Actually, no. The A clarinet is longer overall, and all of the toneholes are different sizes and in different places on the instrument than the Bb...the barrels are often interchangeable, and in some cases, the barrels that ship with A clarinets are actually a bit shorter than barrels for Bb instruments. (I use the same mouthpiece and Backun barrel on both my Bb and A clarinets, and some clars, like the Selmer Privilege, was specficially designed to use the same barrel on both clarinets)
No it is a clarinet with a low c extension, it does not sound any lower then a normal soprano Bb clarinet.
this is like a straight bass clarinet, right?
Not necessarily. Is kind of like and alto clarinet but the alto goes a bit lower. Though the range is quite similar to a tenor sax
Tom Ridenour makes a basset extension that's not overly pricey
Is the basset horn similar to the alto clarinet or does it go lower in pitch or range? It looks similar.
It's similar to an E♭ alto. It's pitched in F, so a whole step higher than and E♭ alto, however, since its keywork is usually more extended, it can play a half step lower than most altos by sound, with its lowest note being a concert F2.
high G
Anyone know what note you play with the register key and low c?
YaaBoyBangs it doesn't (it shouldn't anyway) make a definitive note it's sort of just a muffled out of tune pitch.
G. Useable for jazz, avant garde etc. 20th century fx or multiphonics as is everything under low E. Eb/ Bb is solid
Thanks! Good to know.
No, if the only difference were the barrel, you could take a B flat clarinet and make an A clarinet only changing the barrel, but it's not possible. The A clarinet is a bit longer in general. You can use the same mouthpiece and reeds in both clarinets, of course.
I think the only difference between the B flat and A clarinets is the barrel, but I'm not entirely sure.
Not true Two different scales. I wish it were that easy. Concert A on B flat instrument must sound exactly 440 * ( 12th root of 2 ) CPS higher than on the A inst. etc to the Octave at 880.
the best :)

What an sound congratulation....you have an realy dark mozart clarinet sound :D
Need to get better chops to play alto
The existing fragment for basset-horn is of the exposition of the first movement- not the rondo. Check your info, son!
No. O.o I didn't know.
