Abstract

The explanatory title of the present investigation: The Clarinet in Mozart Instrumental Works: from Chamber, to Symphonic and Concertante, encompasses not only the destiny of the instrument in 18th century music, but also the categories of genre in which the clarinet is used. The historical aspects, including the memorable moments in the expansion of the use of the clarinet (the six concertos composed by J.M. Molter, Johann Stamitz concerto or the Mannheim orchestra), refer to all of Mozart works in which the clarinet is used (and which are related, in significant moments, to performer Anton Stadler), from the Divertimento K. 113 (1771), to the Concerto in A Major K. 622 (1791). The rhetorical interpretations and the stylistic conclusions aim to establish Mozart role in the expansion of the use of the clarinet, a charming instrument with an expressive sound, as Mozart contemporary, Daniel Schubart, described it.
