The focus of this treatise is the examination of newer works for the basset clarinet and various techniques composers employed when
adapting their compositions for other instruments. While nearly every university-level clarinetist is aware that Mozart's Concerto for Clarinet
KV622 was written for the basset clarinet, for many, their knowledge of the instrument remains relatively sparse. Chapters 1 and 2 provide a
brief overview of the basset clarinet's history, information on acquiring an instrument, and a comparison of several editions of Mozart's
Clarinet Concerto. In chapter 3, special focus is given to newer works written for the basset clarinet that have adaptations for more readily
available instruments (A clarinet, B-flat clarinet, basset horn, and bass clarinet). Primary attention is directed toward the composers' methods
in transcribing for these instruments. Works discussed are: Enchantment of Venus (Howard Blake), Solistice (Theresa Martin), Duo Sonata (Peter
Schickele), Swan Song (Paul Richards), and Nocturne étincelant (Roger Zare). The ultimate goal of this material is for clarinetists to enhance
their knowledge of the basset clarinet both historically and as a modern instrument, and provide a starting point to explore the basset clarinet
repertoire. / A Treatise submitted to the College of Music in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of
