Clarinet Quintet,Woodwind Ensemble Bass Clarinet - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.505902 By Ray Thompson Music. By Leopold Mozart. Arranged by Ray Thompson. Classical. 8 pages. RayThompsonMusic #117544. Published by RayThompsonMusic (A0.505902). The “Sinfonia Burlesca†is a vehicle for the presentation of comedic characters.It demonstrates Leopold Mozart’s predilection for laconic musical genre-painting: he dedicates a minuet to:“Hanswurst†(literally “John-Sausageâ€) familiar from traditional Salzburg street theatre; “Signor Pantaloneâ€, the commedia dell’arte’s wealthy, aged and vainglorious womanizer gets his own conceited Andante. Harlequin, the mercurial and mischievous trickster in the chequered costume, gets the last word, mocking and bamboozling his upper-class audience. This is the 1st movement: Sinfonia or ouverture which  was originally written for a string orchestra of 2 viola, 2 celli and bass/bassoon.I have arranged it for clarinet quintet (4 Bbs and one bass) and transposed it from G to Eb so clarinets are playing in F.
