The piano reduction is accompanied by two separate parts: an urtext edition of the original clarinet part as found in the early prints, and a reconstruction for bassetclarinet, the instrument for which the work was originally written. The editor, Henrik Wiese, provides a preface and commentary with an in-dept h discussion of the workŒÍs unusual source materials. MozartŒÍs concerto has become the indispensable audition piece. As a special bonus, this edition also includes the text of the autograph fragment for basset horn inG.
