Wonkak Kim, University of Oregon School of Music and Dance professor, performed the adagio for Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto in A major and talked about the slow reconstruction of the lost concerto sheet music and the unique basset clarinet created specifically for playing the concerto.

“I think the most effective way to capture the audience is rather than pouring a number of notes and dynamic into the audience, is to draw everybody in towards you and that works when things are slow, when things are soft, and when things are calm,” Kim said.
