About
This CD is a paean of praise to tenderness in music, illustrating Mozart’s innermost convictions about fraternity, love and life. Florent Héau and the Manfred Quartet have sought to recreate that gentleness of timbres, that enveloping, spellbinding sound which have made the Clarinet Quintet so well-loved.
They have prolonged this atmosphere of ineffable loveliness with two transcriptions for clarinet and string trio of Mozart sonatas originally written for piano and violin. This was a widespread practice in the second half of the eighteenth century, the period when solo wind instruments become popular: players often transcribed tunes from successful operas or music for other combinations, thus expanding their repertoire and at the same time encouraging progress in instrumental design.
Over the last decade or so of his life, Mozart was both a witness to and a protagonist in the fantastic development of the clarinet, from the Denner instruments he heard in Mannheim to Stadler’s five-keyed clarinet in Vienna.
