W. A. Mozart
Divertimenti K 137 and K 138
In Salzburg, travelling at home and abroad, wherever he stayed, Mozart worked tirelessly, released from all external inhibitions by the wisely-guiding hand of his father.
1772 saw them both in Italy; first of all in Milan, where Mozart played some of his own compositions with the Milan orchestra, including the symphonic works K 136 to 138, which he probably wrote specifically for this orchestra.

W. A. Mozart
Clarinet concert in A major, K 622
Mozart’s clarinet concert originated in autumn 1791, with Mozart using earlier notes for a basset horn concert for the first movement. Like the last piano concert, which originates from the beginning of the year, the clarinet concert also hits that typical, late sound whose simplicity results from the utmost technical refinement and whose cheerfulness and positive approach to life is characterised by a fine web of serenity and melancholy.
