Mozart's Rondo in C major K. 373 is very familiar to film lovers. In the original version for violin and orchestra, it appears in Hollywood productions such as "Schindler's List", "Titanic" and "True Lies". With the Orchestra della Toscana conducted by Markus Stenz, Nicolai Pfeffer has recorded this charming miniature on CD for the first time in his own arrangement for clarinet and orchestra, which is now also available as a piano version in our series.
Mozart composed the Rondo in 1781 for a musical academy of the Salzburg court orchestra in Vienna. In just one night, he devised a lively, catchy melody that returns as a refrain between two couplets. The solo instrument has ample opportunity here to show off its vocal qualities and indulge in refined rhythms. Around 150 years later, the Argentinian tango star Carlos Gardel borrowed a motif from the second couplet, which has since led a second life in the popular song "Por una cabeza". As a charming miniature, the Rondo KV 373 works just as well as an encore in our arrangement due to the large ambitus of the clarinet as it does as an independent concert piece with orchestra or piano.
